SILVER CO. j R602 SALEM, OHIO - Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers Watson’s Attack on Trade Commission Indiana Senator Who Assailed Members as “Radlcals” Shown to Be Close to Packers Washington Bureau, Nonpartisan Leader. - ITH the utmost reluct- ance, and after long de- istration yielded ‘to the demand of the farmers and stock raisers that the Big Five packers’ control of the food supply of this nation should be probed by the federal trade commission. How that probe was developed, and how the packers fought it, step by step and inch by inch, in every way that ingenuity and desperation could devise, is known to every reader of the Leader. They also remember that the report of the commission, and all its efforts to bring the packers to justice and to protect the consumers against the food barons, were retarded or sup- _pressed by administration powers for long periods of time. They recall that +4he commission’s report on the extor- tionate rates of profit granted by Hoover to the packers was suppressed for more than a year, and was pub- lished only a few weeks ago. But because the administration has yielded, and has let the report get to the public, and because the adminis- tration has felt bound to begin prose- cutions of the packers in the federal court in Chicago, the Swifts and Ar- mours and their predatory associates have called upon their Republican re- serves in the senate to save them. American voters who are at all familiar with the careers of Jim Wat- son of Indiana and Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania need not be told that when these heavy guns of the plunder- bund are hauled into action their methods will be crafty, ruthless and Prussian in character.. As Senator Kenyon of Iowa has remarked, Wat- son has “used gas bombs” in the at- tempt to head off the prosecution of his packer friends. Those seeking light on Watson’s past may receive it from the report of the Mullhall scandal investigation in the house some six years back. MEMBERS ATTACKED AS “RADICALS” BY WATSON Watson, on the eve of the beginning . of the grand jury investigation into the packers, with the view t& their in- dictment and ‘trial, now .suddenly makes a speech, denouncing as “an- archists, Socialists and Bolsheviki” the chief witnesses on behalf of the government who are to go before that grand jury. He names Basil M. Manly, who assisted in the packer in- vestigation under the commission and who was later chairman of the war labor board. He names Stuart Chase, the expert accountant who showed the hidden profits of the Big Five. He names Earl Haines of Minnesota, Deoc- tor Tator, Doctor Ohsol, Doctor Kra- vitz and other men who have been fire-tested as to their loyalty to the public interest and their unwillingness to be seduced by the packers. But perhaps the federal trade com- mission tells the story best in its of- ficial ‘statement of October 22:- “These charges are part and parcel of the warfare of the Chicago meat packers against the department of justice and the federal trade commis- sion with the purpose of subverting . justice. “The bona fides of these charges is open to question when it is remember- ed that Senator Watson was a lobbyist in 1909, as was shown in the report of the house of representatives com- mittee, December 9, 1913.- His rela- tions with the Chicago packers are shown by certain = correspondence ‘which is here quoted. “John C. Eversman, in February, 1918, was in the employ of Wilson & lays, the Wilson admin- . Co. as a special representative in Washington. Associated with him was George A. Sanderson, who has since been elected secretary of the United States senate. “On February 1, 1918, the following telegram, taken from the files of Wil- son & Co., Inc.,, was sent by V. D. Skipworth, vice president of Wilson & Co.: ¢ ‘Chmago, February 1, 1918. “¢J. C. Eversman, - %¢608 Riggs Bldg., ¢ ‘Washington, D. C. : “‘Test vote before senate inter- state commerce committee 2 o’clock today regarding interstate commerce commission retaining jurisdiction over rate matters. It is of highest impor- tance to see Senator Watson, who is on this committee, urging retention of such authority by commission. Please see him before committee meets. “¢V. D. SKIPWORTH.’ “Relayed over Wilson & Co.’s pri- vate wire from New York to Chicago the following reply was sent: “¢(Over, private ‘wire from New York, February 1, 1918.). “‘Wash, V. D. S. “‘Had long talk with party sug- gested, Situation resolves itself en- tirely to subordinating rate question to major one of securing time limit of one year in committee bill. A great determined effort being made to ac- complish latter. Test vote on this proposition a tie, with Gore, said to be favorable, absent. Test vote on inter- state commerce commission nine to eight in favor of commission. Out- come today depends upon effort to compromise. Situation up to White House, to which leading Democratic committeemen have been called. Com- promise may confer on president rate- making -power, but only on condition of limiting operation of bill to one year after the war. Some compromise may be made to give president rate- making power now, but to cease im- mediately after war. I assume you regard major proposition more impor- tant. Additional information 5 p. m. “‘EVERSMAN.’ “The federal trade commission and its employes have long been subject to an attack that the public has never known about. The time has come to reveal it. While the commission’s in- vestigation of the meat packers was on, the government’s representatives were trailed by detectives, who daily stood outside the doors of the commis- sion’s offices. The offices of the com- mission’s representatives were entered surreptitiously. “The department of justice is about to present to the federal grand jury the case against the Chicago meat packers. A considerable part of the evidence that is to be presented will be material gathered by the federal trade commission’s agents, and some . ’ of these agents are summoned as wit- nesses. Already some of them are in Chicago. “The commission has avoxded giving immunity to the packers by calling them as witnesses, and for this it has been and is being ceaselessly criticiz- ed; and now as the witnesses for the government are about to enter the grand jury room, there is every ef- fort to discredit them. This attack upon the personal conduct and char- ‘acter of faithful, loyal employes of the commission is of a piece with one of the series of paid advertisements pub- lished by the meat packers on October 9 throughout the United States, the heading of which was ‘Encouraging Bolshevism,” and in which a scandal- ous charge against the department of Justlce and the federal trade commis- sion was made as defimtely as was possible for one not enjoying the im- munity of senatorial privilege.” PAGE EIGHTEEN Mdr_ul....... .............
