WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. TTrsidenls of two big packing companies today aSvised Senate and House committees against additional legislation to regu late the meat packing industry. Louis F. Swift, of Swift & Co., told the Senate agricultural committee pres ent laws were adequate to deal with any abuses charged. Kdward S. Morris, of Morris A; Co.. testified before the House interstate commerce committee that any further legislation "would muddle thlnes." Testifying as to Salaries. Mr. Morris said his salary was $70, 000 a year as president of his company. J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour & Co., told the committee he was paid $25,000 a year and Iouts F. Swift, pres ident of Swift & Co., had said he re ceived $50,000. Mr. Armour, president of Armour & Co.. announced he expected to con sult representatives of all packers concerning measures to be offered as Substitutes for legislation pending be fore Congress. Mr. Swift, when asked today by Sepator Gore of Oklahoma, if he expected to assist such legislation, said he felt much of the so-called reeling atrainst the packers" was ex aggerated and that the legislation would not affect the situation. Capital Limitation Suggested. Some limitation of capitalization of packing companies was suggested by Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, after Francis J. Heney had cross-examined Mr. Swift concerning increases of his company's capital stock. Mr. Heney said that, by separating the Swift company into three organiza tions recently, the market value of the original stock had been increased more than $100,000,000. Mr. Swift denied this and agreed to inform the commit tee as to transactions dealing with the separation of the company -into Swift Co., Swift International, and Libby, McNeill & Libby. Mr. Morris, in completing his testi mony before the House committee, said the "packers should not be interfered with as long as they operate at the present degree of efficiency and justly treat producer and consumer. Legis lation would be particularly harmful at present, he said, because packers are making every aeffort to get back to a pre-war basis. Price Fixing Not Feasible. Asked by Representative Rayburn, of Texas, if he did not believe it would be advisable for the Government at least to fix the price of meat, Mr. Morris said such an attempt undoubtedly would result disastrously because there were many factors in determination of meat prices over which the Government would have no control. "The Food Administration has been successful in fixing the price of meat sold to the allies," he said, "because the allies had to take our meat or go without. As soon as the world market becomes normal, prices will be fixed by tjie law of supply and demand." Representatives of Cudahy & Co. followed Mr. Morris. J. A. McCaugh ton. traffic manager, submitted fig ures to show refrigerator cars were operated much more efficiently by the packers than the railroads. He said it would be all right for the Government to supply cars to independent packers, but asserted the big packers should be allowed to retain those they have. leport In Error. Thomas Creigh, attorney for Cudahy Co., told the committee it would "be an utterly unpractical. un-American procedure for the Government to snuff out a business without judicial, unbiased investigation of the facts." He said such an investigation had not been conducted by the Federal Trade Commission and that the com mission's report was filled with erron-. cous and distorted statements. Mr. Morris contended it would be particularly dangerous for the Gov ernment to fix the price of meat. "The packers sell at the best prices they can get, but are forced to sell at a loss often to dispose of surplus quan tities." he said. "If the price were fixed, reductions would not be made when the supply exceeded the demand and meat would go to waste. Explaining a statement he made yes terday that "agitation and misrepre- senattion had resulted in tho Govern ment finding it necessary to take over the railroads, Mr. Morris said: "I mean tnat the railroads had been attacked so widely that their revenue was reduced so low they could not op erate efficiently. This was demon strated by their condition when taken ov&r by the Government. It would be unfortunate, if the meat Industry were placed in the same position.

Some statistical shark has figured out that the House could clean up Its business in about .0 days if the mem bers paid any particular heed to tho reading clerk when the roll is being called. It is a favorite pastime of the members to be discussing lmportaTi topics aside from legislation with their stenographers or their friends as the roll is being called on the passage bill.

Ruhl was reporting space for some daiy, and he saw an opening for discussing at length the mastication thories of Fletcher. They happened to make a hit with the editors and the public, and incidentally Ruhl made several meal tickets. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. In a state ment tonight commenting upon a state ment at Paris yesterday by Baron Ma kino, Japan's senior peace delegate, regarding the attitude of Japan In the peace conference and toward the return of Tsing-Tao to China, the unofficial mission here of the Canton government asserted that Baron Makino must know hat China's problems could be quickly solved if the Japanese ceased their ac- ivities In China. They also said that It was disappointing that the Baron failed indicate the nature of the notes ex changed by Japan and China in 1917 under the terms of which it was now proposed to restore Tsing-Tao. The statement concludes with ths declaration that the Chinese peace dele gates represented a united China, and that the delegates were in complete agreement regarding essentials to be submitted to the conference. Two mem bers of the delegation, it said, were former members of the Canton mission. Japanese Threat Exposed. "No notes were exchanged between China and Japan in May. 1915, rcspect- ng Tsing-Tao," said the statement, "al though notes forming part of the Chi-no-Japancse treaties of 1915 were so exchanged regarding the leased terri tory of Kiao-Chou, on which the for tress of Tsing-Tao is situated. Assum ing Baron Maklno's statement refers to Klao-Chou, it is not a little disappoint ing that he failed to indicate the nature of the 'terms of the notes exchanged between China and Japan in May. 1915.' 'The notes formed part of a set of treaties which Japan compelled China to sign under a threat of war contained In an ultimatum delivered on May 1915. The notes contained, in Chinese opinion, an illusive undertaking on the part of Japan to 'restore Kiao- Chou to China 'subject to the following conditions: ' "1. Opening of the whole of Klao- Chou as a commercial port. ' '2. Establishment of Japanese set tlement in the locality to be designated by the Japanese government. '3. Establishment, if desired, by the powers, of an international settle ment. ' '4. Arrangements to be made before the return of the said territory Is ef fected between the Japanese and Chi nese governments, with respect to the disposal of German public establish ments and properties, and with regard to the other conditions and proced ures.' Solution Deemed Easy. Of China's problems the statement Id: "Baron Makino, as a well-informed and highly placed Japanese just from Tekio, could not be ignorant of the real source of unrest in China. He must know that these 'problems' could be swiftly solved if the Japanese ceased their present activities in China and realized in the sense of deed and action his lofty declaration that 'at this time of changed and changing conditions, when the past is being buried and new -hopes, ideals and methods must rule the world. It is of vital necessity that there be friendly agreement and co operation between Japan and China.' " -To create Depart - fielent system of collecting taxes through foreclosure and tax Rales.

The Schuebel bill is rather drastic In Its provisions and Imposes heavy pen alties for failure of owners to report full true cash valuations and for fail ure of assessors to secure them. It also provides for appointment of experts to secure valuation of properties and as sessment of costs for same against property owners. Mr. Hare showed that by enormously increasing valuations millage tax' in surance would be vastly benefited to the detriment of the rest of the stats functions. WOMAN TO HAVE NEW TRIAL Case of Mrs. T.

COAL PRICES MAY DROP Large Stocks on Hand and Mild Winter Reputed Reason. All restrictions on fuel dealers and all prices set by the Fuel Administra tion are off Saturday, February 1. Prices may fall, is the belief of some dealers, who fear the result of the lifting of restriction in mid-Winter, when fuel conditions are most im portant. Large stocks of coal are on hand, according to dealers, who had prepared for a hard Winter. The mild Winter has resulted in less use of coal, while ap peals for saving also are believed to have had an effect. OLTMP1A, Wash., Jan. 28. (SpeciaL) After using most of the day in a trip to Camp Lewis to welcome the 346th Artillery home from France, the Wash ington Legislature turned a short day's work. The House passed an appro priation of (38,000 to replace military equipment taken over by the Govern ment when tha Second Washington was federalized for foreign service, and another military bill to give sol diers of the present war the same preference in public employment other veterans enjoy. The first skirmish of the Impending Insurance legislation fight occurred in the House today on House bill no, un der which all Insurance company state licenses shall expire on March 31. The measure passed, 55 to 32. On reconsideration the House recalled a previously accepted invitation of tha Seattle Port Commission to visit its docks and the Lake Washington canal Saturday, on argument by Represents tlve Robert Grass, of King, that th commission Is a suitor for legislative favor and that a free excursion is classed under the ban of Influencing lawmaking or lobbying by an expendl ture of funds.

TACOMA. Wash.. Jan. 28. Posslblli ties of mediation in the local shipyard strike appeared more remote tonight upon the Issuance of a definite state ment from the union press committee to the effect that mediation concern ing xacoma aions would not be con sidered nor would the men return to work pending adjudication. Kfforts of O. S. Larson, local repre sentative of the War Labor Board, to start a move toward return of the strikers led ar. afternoon paper to an nounce that if the proposal for media tion submitted to the strikers "is adopted by the strikers it will mean that Tacoma will go about the settle ment of its own shipyard labor diffi cultles Independently of Seattle and other points along the Coast." The union's denial, signed by the press committee, says: "Tho facts of the situation are first, that such a pro posal could under no circumstances be entertained by the metal trades and further, is not considered. Second. Ta coma Metal Trades Council does not under any condition sanction (he men going back to work pending a settle- ment." Mayor C. M. Rlddell called together four local business men and four rep resentatives of the union. This meeting was as fruitless of results as the one ut which Larson proposed sending a committee of strikers and citizens to Washington, D. C, for a conference. Considerable Importance is attached by local strikers to the meeting at Se attle today between the Puget Sound Maritime District Council, having Juris diction over the shipwrights and rep resentatives of the Metal Trades from several cities- TACOMA GENERAL STRIKE CP Central Labor Council to Take Ac tion Today.
