t
Time Has Come for 'Big Five'
Showdown in Campaign
Against Them in Court
WASHINGTON", April 2. Court
proceedings against the "big fivo"
Chicago packers were Instituted bu
causc "It had come to be' time for j.
showdown In the Industry," Attornoy
General Palmer today told the house
agricultural committee. The attoi
ney general, supporting packer regu
lation legislation, reviewed what he
called the long campaign against the
.Industry in court and beforo public
opinion.
"It seemed to me that tho thlnj; had
come to a point where tho packers
were cither entitled to a clean bill of
health," said Mr. Palmer, "or tho pub
lic was entitled to a judgment of oor.;t
sort -against them."
Tho consent decree, finally agreed
upon after the government had Insti
tuted suit, he said, was tho resuu.
The divorcement decree, Mr. Palmci
said, "met every just complaint thirc
had been made by consumers, pro
ducers or competitors, against the
va'ckers."
JUDGMENT FOR ENFORCING.
"It met them by a Judgment with
means for enforcing It," the attorney
general continued. "The managers
and Influential stockholders In the
packing corporations can be convicted
of contempt of court and Imprisoned
Tor any violation of Its terms. Th.s
makes these five great packers but-n-
ers and nothing else. They aro r.o
longer a menace to the food tables o'
America with control of meat substi
tutes and all other foods.
"I got more for people by the civil
action that I ever could by proceed
ings against them as criminals. Nj
business man ever has boon sent to
jail for violation of the Sherman ait
In all its history.
"I wanted to accomplish five Ihm&s.
Tirst, to take the packers out of cu
stockyards business, out of the terrui
nal railroads which entered the s;cck
yards. and out of the llvcstoak or .
market publications, and keep them
out.
I PLAN WOIIKEI) OUT.
"In detail, the plan is worked out j
so that the defendants themselves
may present a plan to dispose of their
interests, and if that plan is. not .ip
proved by the court, then a metnod
is made by which the court may fix
tho plan. That is designed for zv.c
purpose of permitting tho produce.".",
If thoy desired, to be substituted In j
the ownership of tho stockyards aud I
terminal railroads for the packers."
j Mr. Palmer said tho other tnings I
j he desired lo accomplish were to take
the packers out of the public stii;:ci
warehouse business, tho retail busl-1
I ness and all the unrelated lines of
business.
"All those things I insisted upon
j and would not under any clrcum-
stances recede from," said he.
I Mr. Palmer said he had made no
I suggestion to the packers as lo what
I his position would be with respect to
futuro legislation by congress or Hti
I gation by the government.
"My personal view." he said, ' is
that I would like to sec this tried out.
I believe this Is a great long step for
ward. I think it will do a great gooci.
I do not pror.'ise It is going to menu
Immediate'' lowering of prices.'

LITTLE FELLOW.
You're Just a little fellow with a lot
of funny ways,
Just three-foot-six of mischief sot with
eyes that fairy blaze;
You're always up to something with
those bu6 hands o' yours,
And you leave a trail o' ruin on the
walls an' on the doors;
An' I wonder, as I watch you, .an' your
curious tricks I see,
Whatever is the reason that you mean
so much to me.
t
You're just a chubby rascal with a
grin upon your face,
Just seven years o' gladness, an' a
hard and trying case;
You think the world's your playground
an' in all you cay an do
You fancy everybody ought to bow and
scrape to you;
Dull care's a thing you laugh at just
as though 'twill never be,
So I wonder, little fellow, why you
mean so much to me.
i
Now your face Is smeared with choco
late, or perhaps its only dirt.
An' it's really most alarming how you
tear your little shirt;
But I have to smile upon you, an' with
your wilful ways,
I'm certain that I need you round
about me all my days;
Yes, I've got to have you with me, for
somehow it's come to be
That I couldn't live without you, for
you're all tho world to me.

1101 Ml WRITES
HIS IK UPON
flUCI PL!
To the Editor Ogdon Standard.
In yesterday's Issue of The Stand
ard I observe a large display ad of the
Associated Industries, for no other
purpose than to April fool the dear
people of Utah, by declaring their
proposition the American plan.
Why is it theso unions let uo cail
them by their proper name, tho Con
tractors' union, Material Mon's union
and tho Sub-Contractors' union take
such an Interest In the dear people
and tho public at tho eleventh hour
to defeat other unions in their do
mands for a living wage? They hao
presented ten- propositions for con
sideration, calling thorn tho Amcnum
plan to fool the people.
Plan That constitutional right
of every workman to sock and find
employment, and thU3 provide tor h:o
family, upon terms and conditions
mutually satisfactory lo himself and
his employ. er, must not be denied or
abridged.
We us union .men concede that, and
have never denied any contractor the
privilege to employ whom ho wished,
and we have never denied ourscives
tho privilege of refusing to work wltn
the man ho employed if wo so desucu.
Is that American or un-American V
Plan - That in all industrial and
business relations the -public wcifaro
must always bo regarded.
I would like the associated uiiior.a
to show mo Vhen the public' welfare
has been disregarded.
Plan 3 That there shaU be abso
lute) fairness to all classes of' work-i
men, whether union or non-union, '
and justice to employers. '
1 hardly know how to Interpret this
proposition. As 1 said before, I con
sidered it my privilege to quit my job
if I did not. desiro to york with an
other fellow workman, and I conccuu
to him the same privilege Is th.it
lair, or unfair'-' As for JJsilco to vti-'
ployers, I know of no case when Jiio
ilce was not given for Justice rccei3u.
Plan 4 That there shs.ll bo no dL
r rimlnation niriiinst anv . t orkmnu Oil
account of affiliation cr non-affilia-lion
with any- labor organization,
A workman who Is not for organ
ization must be against it, therefore 1
would not consider it discrimination
to refuse to work with him, and espe
cially If he belonged to the same cr.Ui
as myself, ono who Is too selfish or too
indifferent to belong to an organisa
tion which takes caro of the sick,
uurles its members, pays benefits to
the injured. Insurance to the widowj
and orphans, and made the conditions
which a laboring mail may exist uii
uer the H. C. L. and profiled lng, ni-r
would I hesitate In telling my em
ployer tho3e reasons, and would not
cpnsldor it un-American, cither.
- Plan 5 That the right of em
ployes to organize for lawful purpose
must not be disputed, and that same
privilege should bo given to employ
ers. No room for argument.
Plan G Ditto.
Plan 7 That contracts should bo ,
faithfully observed by both parties.
Being a carpenter and contractor T
know of no contract having been
made with the employer being v'o
lated. ,
Plan S That any plan contrary to
these principles is repugnant to
American principles.
"Shakespeare says- a rose would
bmcll as sweet by any other name."
Why omit plan3 0 and 10 in the b:0
April fool ad?
No. 9 To American or un-Ainerl-can:
There shall bp no strikes. Is
that Americanism, Bolshevism It
bounds like Cummlnslsm. Well, fIr.
Editor. I don't- think organized labor
is going to give up so readily the only
two weapons they possess the strlkj
and tho ballot box.
No. 10 This Is Interesting (must
bo). That in the Interest of all claims
and the public welfare, all existing
wage demands, that is It, wage de
mands, which have been arbitrarily
made (don't know of any aibitrajlly
I made) be hereby canceled, and 1920
wages bo fixed by Joint commlttoo,
composed of rcprcGcntallvos of th-
public, employers and labor, very
good, very logical.
Lot's sec who drafted these plar.a
in tho Interest of the dear public.
1 dqn't know who drafted them, out
I do know aomp' of the committee who
presented them to -the U. I. C.
Mr. Abbott of the Geo. A. Lowe Co.
Mr. Kmp'y of tho Ogdon Wholcsalo
Drug Co..
Mr. Taylor, mrinagor of tho Kccles
Lumber Co,
W. P. Bossner, secretary of the As
sociated Industries.
I wonder, Mr. ".Editor, If these gen
tlemen would like a committee as
thoy suggest to be appointed to ii.
vestigato tho cost of materials and
Insist that high prices of building ma
terials of the present bo roducod to
1915 or 191C prices. Let Mr. Taor
inform them why flooring Is $Uo a
thousand; why shingles and lath have
gone up 100 per cent.
Let Mr, Abbott explain why nails
that were soiling for $-1.50 and $5.00
a keg arc now $(J.50 and G.7G. Wh; ,
In 1915, a man could buy hardwara
lor a house that costu double today.
As for Mr. Empy's business, we ali
know ihere never was, and never will
bo, any profiteering In drugs, but, be
that as it may. that's his business.
Now, for Mr. J. E. Ualligher. an
other hardware gentleman, car:i.ig
building supplies, appealing to tiu
dear people with another April tool
proposition He says there should
no llmftatloh put on tho number of
apprentices of a craft, but In avoid
ance with pur national education pia..
now in force In this state, every Uoy
should be given an opportunity to eit
tor the craft to which ho may be in
clined or suited. .
I wonder how many boys Mr. G.iH
Cher Is employing today and whit,
wages he is paying them. I think nut
many, and very. low wages .If an. I
don't know how other unions avi
fixed for apprentice:?, but 1 can say.'
as far as Local t50 of B.' C. and I. of
A. are concerned, we have not tiie
quota our laws call for not the lo
cal's fault, for wo have had no appli
cant::. Pinal I don't know -Mr. W. I-.
Bossner, and I don't think. Mr. Los
n'cr knows Montana, and as one who
does, 1 am under tho Impression he
has been very much, misinformed. T.ie
sooner the Contractors' union, ihe
Material Men's union and the Sub
Contractors' unions will let the other
unions alone, and tho neonlo. w.ioin
they have so" much consideration lor.
do their own thinking and get down
to' business, so much better It will b?
