Patterson Link in Townley Trial League President Denied Statutory Rights by Judge in Small Minnesota Town—Many Unfair Rulings By Special Correspondent ; : C. TOWNLEY, ' presi- dent of the Nonpartlsan league, and Joseph Gil- bert, former Minnesota organization manager, are being tried in Jack- son, Minn., on a charge of conspiracy to violate the Minnesota sedition law. The action is the outgrowth of state- ments alleged to have been made by Gilbert in a speech in the county, for which Mr. Townley is accused in the indictment of being jointly responsi- ble with Mr. Gilbert. At the very outset of the trial, the attitude of the court toward the de- fense was evident. Twice jurors who admitted prejudice were passed by the triers after the defense had chal- lenged them for cause, and peremp- tory challenges had fo be exercised. During the cross-examination of one of the witnesses by the defense, the judge, E. C. Dean, interrupted Mr. Townley’s attorney and charged that he was delaying the trial by his cross- examination. When the trial opened the judge showed his attitude by threatening to declare Mr. Townley’s bail forfeited unless he appeared immediately be- fore the court. Mr. Townley had been appearing in North Dakota, cam- paigning for the seven referred League laws. This ruling was made in spite of a provision of the Minnesota statutes that a defendant in a misdemeanor case may be represented in court by his attorney. The prosecuting attorney, he ad- mitted to newspaper men after one of the sessions of the trial, was looked up by Charles Patterson, head of the League opposition in St. Paul, who, it has been shown, has been heading the fight against the League and active in obtaining a large fund in the East for continuing the fight. Patterson also arranged, it was disclosed in recent issues of the Nonpartisan Leader, for the financing of “On the Square” and “America First,” two anti-League publications, and of the Reliance Pub- licity bureau, established, with Tom - Parker Junkin at the head of it, with a $150,000 fund. Nicholas, the prosecuting attorney, told newspaper men that he had met Patterson at a dinner given at the St. Paul Athletic club by Ambrose Tighe, Minneapolis and St. Paul street rail- way attorney and member of the Min- nesota Public Safety commission. Pat- terson, Nicholas said, asked to be in- -troduced to him, and told him that he had wanted to meet him, as he under- stood that Nicholas had been “active in loyalty work in this part of the state.” Nicholas explamed that thus “he hadn’t looked Patterson up, but Pat- terson looked him up.” More Stockyard Centers in Northwest Packers Use Chicago as Center to Depress Prices of Livestock, Heney’s Charge +« Washington Bureau, Nonpartisan Leader. %] HE Northwest needs more #|l livestock slaughter- ing centers. An ex- pert for the federal trade commission, look- ing into the meat pack- ers’ system of concentrating the slaughtering business in a few places which they can easily control, has be- come convinced that at least 30 more places in the Northwest and Middle West could support abattoirs with economy to the farmer and to the re- tail consumer of meats. As the breeds- of livestock grown in the vari- ous districts are improved, and pas- ture and mill feed supply is better de- veloped, the number can be further in- - creased. The figure quoted represents the degree to which the Big Five pack- ers are today stifling local : develop- ment and prohibiting efficient service to the public. of car-miles wasted each year, due to the one fact that the slaughtering point is too far from the point .of pro- duction of the animals. Victor Murdock, federal. trade com- missioner, called the attention of the house committee on interstate and for- eign commerce to this phase of the packers’ dictatorship. “Most of the livestock slaughtered by the meat packers in the United States is slaughtered at comparative- ly few markets,” he said. “Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis, New York City, St. Joseph, Fort Worth, East St. Louis, Sioux City, Oklahoma City, Denver and Wichita are the 12 largest livestock markets in the Unit- ed States. Of the total number of animals slaughtered by interstate slaughterers in the country, 81 per ~cent of the cattle, 65.3 per cent of the calves, 78.5 per cent of the sheep, and 58 per cent of the hogs are slaughtered at these 12 centers. “Under’ present conditions it is ar- gued to be an. - economic - waste . to It represents millions. transport livestock from all over the country to these few large centers. That it is more economic to slaughter the animals nearer their point of pro- duction is a point covered by Mr. Ar- mour’s testimony before the senate committee on agriculture. “It is here developed that to shlp an animal weighing 1,000 pounds from St. Paul to Chicago to be slaugh- tered, there is a loss of $1.59%. To ship the same sized animal from Chi- cago to Kansas City to be slaughtered there is a loss of $5.08. To ship from St. Paul to St. Joseph to be slaugh- tered there is a loss of $3.27%. This . indicates that it does not pay to ship the live animal a great distance to be slaughtered.” When Louis F. Swift was before the senate committee, Francis J. Heney ‘questioned him on the same matter, and Swift admitted that the loss to the public from such shipments was substantially as Armour had con- fessed it to be. Murdock explained the packers’ reasons for concentrating the business when he said that “in keeping the markets limited to the present num- ber they are enabled to keep independ- ent packing companies from estab- lishing new packing plants at these centers. Again, with a few large mar- kets they are able to keep the mar- kets in line through their centralized buying organizations, but it would be much harder for them to keep a great number of markets in lige.” Senator Gore brought out the story of this concentration from Armour and from Swift, point by point. A good many years ago there was a big: business in the export of live cattle to Europe. Then came the refrigera- tor ship, and the live animals were thereafter killed in America, and the meat alone sent abroad. Next came the development of pack-. - mg plants farther and Farther west, in order that, by slaughtermg the ; 'stock near the pomt of origin, no un-
