Regulation of Packing Indus
try Held Necessary.
ANNUAL CONVENTION OPEN
Passage of Kendrick-Kenyon fcill
Xow in Congress Advocated
at Spokane Meeting.
SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 27. Discus
sion of legislation providing for gov
ernment regulation of the meat packing-
industry occupied much of the
time or the American National Live
stock association at the opening day's
sessions of its 23d annual convention
here today.
However, the subject, regarding
which some division of opinion has
become evident among the livestock
men In attendance from practically
the entire western United States, was
not carried to the floor of the con
vention for discussion and whatever
contest that may eventually develop
over the matter Is not expected to be
brought to a head before tomorrow
afternoon.
The attitude of the association's mar
ket committee, which for four years
has been conducting a fight for fed
eral regulation of the packers, was
presented today by United States Sen
ator John B. Kendrick of Wyoming,
president of the association and Joint
author of the Kendrick-Kenyon bill
in the senate providing for the cre
ation of a federal livestock commis
sion in an address, and by K. L. Burke
of Omaha, Neb., vice-chairman of the
market committee, in the committee's
report.
The opposition was represented on
today's programme by Murdo Mac
kenzie of Chicago, a representative, of
Wilson & Co., packers, who declared
in an address at the afternoon session
that the passage of the proposed
legislation would not be for the best
interests of the livestock industry of
the nation.
Whatever plans opponents..of the
measure may have had for bringing
the fight to an issue in the convention
today were circumvented by Senator
Kendrick, who presided, and who held
Ktri.-tlv to the set programme of
speeches after Mr. Burke had pre
sented his reDort.

cial.) In an address before the
Municipal league at luncheon today I
Mayor Fitzgerald portrayed the ef
forts of Candidate James A. Duncan,
during the .general strike of last Feb
ruary, to paralyze the city. He told
of a declaration by Duncan at the
city hall that streetcar lines would
stop and that the municipal lighting I
plant would be closed down.
"I could not believe at that time I
that he and his followers would at
tempt such a reign of terror, but they
did," declared Mayor Fitzgerald, and
he reiterated the-, statement he made
last Saturday that he was opposed to I
Duncan then and continues now and
will continue in the future to fight
his policies.
The Duncan threat to throw the city
into darkness and police it through
moral suasion was recalled by the
mayor. He brought back to mind the
story that parents were obliged to
obtain a permit to obtain milk for
their babies and that a funeral pro
cession wended its way through Se
attle streets bearing labels that
showed It was held "by permission of I
the general strike committee."

These tactics and Duncan's bitter
opposition to measures necessary to
protect the United States during the

SALEM, Or., Jan. 27. (Special.)
The state superintendent of banks
may refuse to Issue a bank charter
when, in his opinion, the action is not
justified, according to a legal opinion
written by Justice Johns and handed
down by the Oregon supreme court
today. The opinion reverses the deci
sion f Judge G. G. Bingham of the
Marion county circuit court, and up
holds in every particular the conten
tions advanced by the attorneys for
the state.
The case dates back to March 27,
1919, when S. A. Mulkey, W. R. Evens,
et al. through L. A. Bass made ap
plication to Will II. Bennett, state su
perintendent of banks, for a charter
to establish a depository in the dis
trict of St. Johns, Portland. .On April
29 Mr. Bennett refused to grant the
charter on the grounds that two baViks bass solo, "Beware," at the finale of
already had been established in tne I his act winning rounds of applause.
St. jonns district ana mat a tmru in
stitution was not justified.
Mr. Bass then appealed from th
decision of Mr. Bennett to the state
banking board, with the result that
the action of the state superintend
ent of banks was upheld.
Mandamus proceedings to compel
issuance of the charter were then
filed in the Marion county circuit
court against Mr. Bennett, as state
superintendent of banks; Governor
Olcott and O. P. Hoff, members of the
state banking board. The defendants
in this action, through the attorney-
general's office, filed a demurrer to
the complaint, which later was over
ruled by Judge Bingham. It was held
by Judge Bingham that neither the
state superintendent of banks nor the
state banking board had a legal right
to restrict the number of depositories
that should be established in a town
or city as long as the other neces
sary requirements were met by the
Incorporators of the institutions.
Justices McBride, Bean and Bennett
concurred In the opinion written by
Justice Johns. Other opinions handed
down today follow:
