f f troubles of the Chicago packers
are by no means over. What the de-
partment of justice has dont in com-
promising a suit brought under the
Sherman anti-trust law will not
awerve the federal trade commission
from its course in bringing proceed-
ings in SI different eases in which it
is alleged that the packers are violat-
ing tbe federal trade commission law
with reference to unfair competition
The full significance of a little
statement issued recently miner
vaguely worded at tne time out
conveying nevertheless the intentions
of the federal trade commissions Is
just beginning to be apparent. It
developed that the commission waa
folly aware or tne negotiations ne-
tween the department of Justice and
he packers and prepared the state
ment of its position to be issued
cotneidentauy wltn tne announce-
ment of tbe compromise reached by
tbe attorney general. In man; quar-
ters the federal trade commission's
position was promptly Interpreted as
dissatisfaction with tbe coarse ox the
rienartmenl of lustlce and
a continuance of his confidence and
construed as the outcropping of an
inter-departmental quarrel.
Not Real Situation
But that. isn't the situation. The
feeling between the federal trade
commission and the department of
Justice is friendly and cooperative.
There la a perfect understanding of
the scope and jurisdiction of each
branch of the government with ref-
erence to the suits against the pack-
ers. The federal trade commission
furnished to the department of Justice
part of the evidence which was used
in the suit brought under the Sherman .

there no one to lead that bad hoy

In Fight To
Ratification
criticism of tbe course of president
Wilson and senat r Hitchcock of
Nebraska the acting Democratic lead-
er reached proportions which aoxoa
predicted soon woald be gXma tan-
gible form. '
The result was a scrambled situa-
tion in both party ortranisatieaui.
The feeling among those who are
ready to go ahead without their lead-
ers seemed to be that the treaty dead-
lock already had been prolonged un-
necessarily by too much no compro-
ntiae talk and that both sides had
overplayee a waiting game in the
hope that a break would eoue in the J
opposition.
Meantime. It became known that
the irreconeillable group of Republi-
cans had been bringing pressure to
bear to induce the part- leader not
to consent to any compromise pro-
posals which did not meet their ap-
proval. '
LAWRENCE.
C Dec. 17. Thejsion that they expected president
wuson to call ott tne reoerai txaue
commission it is known that tbe
packers have discussed that possibil-
ity with the attorney general but the
latter haa no more Jurisdiction over
the federal trade commission than
the secretary of the navy or any other
members of the cabinet.
It will be noted that fhe attorney
general left the question of butter
eggs cheese and poultry to "further
consideration."
Which may be or may not mean
tbe entr of another compromise de-
crease with the department of Justice
or submission to an order from the
federal trade commission.
EalMed Monopolies
To understand the position of the
federal trade commission today the
following excerpt from its letter to
president Wilson sent to tbe white
house immediately after the terms
of the compromJae with the packers
became known ought to be read:
The HMilum found that
with renpeet to the meat paehlne
Industry there existed monopolies
controls. tre( combination
rapirelr. and restraints of
trade out of harmenr vrlth tbe
law and public Interest.
The commission -o reported to the
president and to the congress and
placed its muss of facts aa rapidly as
they could be dlgcated in tbe hands
of the department of justice In the
further study of the facta transmitted
"The commission found that starting
with a practical control of the meat
packing industry the present state
of 'affairs -a made possible and
probable." To this situation it has
directed the attention of congress
"We 6hould hav to you that in this
examination the commission haa
hrousrht certain facts hae to do with
the laws the administration of which
it is oarticularlv Brood. In a number
I of these matters formal proceedings
j have already been instituted. In
I others formal proceedinas are in pro-
I cess of fnrmuUtion These thtners the
commission wll carrv forward ia due
course and in the orderlj prosecution
of its ork."
Tn the foregoing paragraph Is re-
ealed the intention of the packers
to go forward with Zl cases entirely
different from tlio.se compromised b
