It \is signed, “Institute of American} | Meat Packers,” 22 West Monroe st.” It is the meat packers’ reply to Sen. Kenyon’s charges of “vicious propa | ganda.”) | CHICAGO, July 2¢.—The packing industry replied today to Senator 'Kenyon’s assertion on the floor of |the senate, that the greatest propa: |wanda that ever had been under: | taken in thiy coyntry is now in full swing with reference to the bill for | regulation of the packers. The reply was made by the Instl- tute of American Meat Packers, come prising about 200 packing firms. Thomas 1. Wilson ts chairman of the committee which is now direct ing the work of the inatitute. Senator Kenyon has charged in the senate of the United States that the packers are sending out propa- ganda against this bill to place the packing industry under federal 1i- wense, as if there were something wrong in tHis. The entire public is vitally inter. ested in the correct solution of the high cost of living. Complete understanding of all facts will dissipate suspicion and prejudice which, if relied upon for adverse legislation, will harm us all ~—the livestock producer and the con- sumer, as well as the packers, In the last analysis, the public wil! decide those issues and to them we will present the facts, The bill introduced by the senator threatens the life of the packing in- dustry. It is un-American, and is a dangerous precedent for all busi ness, It would amount to practical government operation, which, with this complex industry, would sesuit in greater disaster than that which wo have with the government oper. ation of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines. There is an unprecedented propa- ganda in favor of this legislation and against the packers. The wholesale grocers and the federal trade com- missiorf, for example, are active with Propaganda of this character. We are doing exactly what every American citizen has a perfect right to do. We are opposing this bill in an open and legitimate manner and will continue to do #0, It is unthink able that persons whose investments and business are threatened by rad- ical and vicious legislation cannot lay the facts before the people. | | | NO MERCY LEFT FOR RECKLESS DRIVERS ‘o mercy!’ will be the slogan in dealing with feckless drivers who cothe before the police court, accord: ing to Judge John B.
