I "If you as producers do not like the

representing the Nebraska Feeders'
Association, who pointed out that most
of tlie testimony at the Senate agri
culture committee hearings has been
protest against the Kenyon and Ken
drick bills, and asserted that, so far as
such testimony had come from cattle
producers, it was misrepresentatlve.
"You have heard from a very few
representatives of the large number
of small farmers who raise cattle."
he told senators, "and from many
representatives of the small number
of large producers. These last are
largely dependent upon the large
packers for borrowed money which
they use in their business. Then the
packers have used undue influence to
affect the course of opinion. I know
producers who have been told by
bankers if the Kenyon and Kendrick
bills are passed there will be grave
danger that money cannot hereafter
be loaned on cattle.
Says Facts Are Not Controverted.
"We believe that the main facts of
the Federal Trade Commission report
on the growing monopoly of the "big
five," which is the justification for
these bills, have not been controvert
ed. We believe that the packers are
using pressure from every possible
source to maintain their positions."
Mr. I'ugsley read letters from farm
ers to support his charge.
"If the recent drop in lire stock
prices has been caused by the intro
duction of these bills," said he. "that
is a sure sign that something needs

The only explanation of price fluc
tuations like these is manipulation,"
Mr. I'ugsley tsaid, and packers were
the most likely source of the manipu
lation.
Speaks for Iowa Farmers.
Henry C. Wallace, secretary of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers' Associa

"It has been put to Iowa farmers,"
said Wallace, "that these bills mean

immediately puts himself down
against government control.
"I think the packers are short
sighted in their objections to license,"
he remarked. "It won't work any
hardship."
"What has caused this drop in live
stock prices?" asked Senator Norris,
republican, Nebraska.
"Violent, and, in my opinion, -in
considered efforts of the administra
tion- to beat down the high cost of
living," eaid Wallace. "Prices may go
higher later on in compensation."
Other Witnesses Heard.
W. D. Richards, a Dickinson, North
Dakota, stock raiser and bank owner,
and A. F. Harsh, a Lowell. Nebraska,
stock feeder, both gave the commit
tee arguments against the passage of
the bills.
"What do you think would happen
if the big packers, who do most of
the buying, should stay out of the
live stock markets for three dadys?"
Senator Kenyon asked Kichards.
"I think the market would go to
pieces.
"Well, doesn't a business in which
five men have the power to create
immediate destruction need regula
tion?"
Kichards observed that probably
other industries would show a sim

20 DETECTIVES PATROL
NEW YORK CITY IN AUTOS
TO CHECK ROBBERIES
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 13.?
In an effort to check the in
creasing number of robberies
and hold-ups throughout the
oity, twenty detectives in auto
mobiles patroled the streets to
day in those sections where the
crimes have been most fre
quent. Suspicious-looking taxi
cabs and automobiles were
stopped and their occupants
forced to give an account of
themselves. Special attention
was paid to neighborhoods
where are located the small
hotels, the latest prey of the
highwaymen.
Notwithstanding the vigi
lance of the police, three more
hold-ups and robberies were re
ported. In two cases the vic
tims were held up on the street
and small sums of money stolen.
The third crime was the enter
ing of a haberdashery shop and
the theft of merchandise valued
at several hundred dollars. Ar
rests were made in each case,
but the prisoners protested their
innocence.
Fourteen robberies, totaling
more than $40,000, have been
reported during the last weeK.
MONTHLY PAY IS VOTED
UNDER WAR RISK ACT
Disabled Soldiers and Sailors to
Get Nearly Double Amount
Now Paid.
Monthly compensations provided for
disabled soldiers and sailors and their
dependents under the war risk in
surance act were practically doubled
by unanimous vote of the House yes
terday. At the same time the Amer
ican Legion's plan for two years' free
insurance to present holders of life
policies in the war risk war defeated
on parliamentary tactics, but will be
taken up in a different way.
Other important amendments to the
war risk insurance act liberalize its
provisions and seek to eliminate led
tape In administration. Among: the
changes in compensation payments
provided for total temporary disabil
ity are that a single man shall receive
$80 a month Instead of $30; a man
with a wife, or a child, $90 Instead of
*45; one with a wife and one child.
{95, instead of $55, and the man with
a wife and two children or more, $100,
instead of $65.
