It is of tremendous national import- ance that congress should establish some sort of control. The bill which T have introduced intended to secure this end least possible disturbance to any interests. It aims merely to apply to this industry the principles which have been applied to every other bus iness cngaged in interstate commerce We do not ask that the government take over the packing houses nor even that it should operate the stock yards. We ask only that the packers shall no longer be permitted to own and control both the producing and the distributing mar To this end my bill makes provision that will compel the packers to dispose of stock yards, just as a few years ago congress compelled the railroads to surrender the ownership of coal mines. Tt fur- ther ‘provides that refrigerator cars shall be subject to the Interstate Com- act in the same manner that all other cars and telephone facili- ties are subject to it. Finally the bill provides for a li- censing system for meat packers for commission men and for stock yard owners so that the government may keep Its fingers on the pulse of the industry.” EXCITING BURGLAR CHASE Chase is ec Policemen Two Water- bury Youths—Scveral Shots Fired— Accused Held in $1,000 Bail.
