Washington, Feb. 10. Levy Mayer,

emphatically and flatly before the Sen

he had offered employment with the big
packers to Francis J, Heney, whe is
conducting tho examination of packers'
witnesses before the committee. He
read a telegram from Frank P. Walsh.

Mr. Heney, who made tho charge be
fore the committee Saturday, was net
present until after Mr. Mayer had made
his preliminary statement.
The telegram from Mr. Walsh In St.
Louis was sent, Mr. Mayer said1, with
out his request.
'This Is the otatcment of an honest
man," the witness added, "in contrast to
this clumsy, transparent, dishonorable
and unprofessional He bf Mr. Henoy."
Mr. Mayer .remarked that Mr. iieney
had charged the alleged offer waa made
January 24 and questioned the propriety
of his not having made it puDiic ucrore
if it were true. He said he was not in
the city when the charge was made
and consequently was not able to answer
it then.
Mr. Walsh's 'telegram was read as
follows:
"The Associated Press asks.n-.a for
comment upon Mr. Heney s statement of
Saturday, which r gave as rollowfls
'While I can claim a very pleasant ac
quaintance with Mr. Mayer he never
offered employment In Chicago oJ
elsewhere, 'and this docs not imply that
he might not have done, so wltn perfect

cepted or declined the same with like
propriety.' "
'Mr. Mayer then read a letter ne saia
he wrote President Wilson on January
11, 1918, when the Federal Trade Com
mission, with Mr. Heney as Its counsel,
was investigating the business of the
packers. In It he charged that Mr.
Heney was then trying to undermine
publlo confidence In the meat Industry
and that the packers were not permitted
to call or cross-examine witnesses.
A letter from former Governor Col
quitt, of Texas, denying any contribu
tion was made by the packers to his
campaign to his knowledge was rend

AGREES TO PRINCIPLES
liy the Associated Press
Mathlngton, Feb. 10. Somo direct
governmental agency, working not for
profit but to furnish transportation at
cost, was advocated today by tho four
railroad brotherhoods a-j their solution
of the railroad problem before Congress.
A. B. Garretson, president of tho.
Order of Hallway Conductors, speaking',
tons
tor tno four Dig employes organlza-
tho other throe brotherhoods had been
won over to government ownership of
railroads by experience under govern
ment operation, and that all Indorsed
In principle the proposal presented by
Glenn H Plumb last week, though they
had not considered its details.
Mr. Garretson said tho financial and
operating sides of tho railroad ques
tion were virtually one nnd that the
task of Congress was to decide whether
the two functions- could be performed
best by private or government owner
ship. Warren S. Stone, head of the engi
neers: TV. G. Lee, of the trainmen, and
Timothy Shea, of the firemen, Mr. Garretson-
said, were private owncrihlp ad
vocates until the experlenco of govern
ment operation. Ho explained that they
still advocate private ownership In gen
eral, but government oVnrshlP'-as ap
plied ,to the railroad Industry. ')
He thought It was "die germ of what
government ownership might be if per
fected" that had caused their change
of, mind. "
Much of Mr. Garretson's time on the
stand was occupied with n theoretical
discussion of rates and returns. Ho op
posd any scheme for guaranteeing a re-
turn to tho railroads under private
ownership, and said It was ns legitimate
to guarantee 'every other line of busi
ness as the railroads. Ho asserts that
if the government became liable for a
deficit In the railroads' Income the gov
ernment niso must be -a participant in
their profits.

CoMlnurd from r.ie Or. LI 1 1 E M KlllCltilS
and tho Allies in regard to Germany ,
is the question of shipping enough!
raw material to Germany to get her Troops Stop Picketing,
industries, In somo degree, started t jut r TiTl
before peace is signedf ' Raid Meeting, Rout Mob
European opposition to all this is
of two sorts. One motive is the de
sire to keep Germany weak, another
is the tiosire to keep German wealth
where tho Allies can seize it for
reparation.
Germany as Plague Spot
The American position is that the
world cannot afford to havo a great
nnunrrfzed nntion in central Eurone
as n breeding spot for social disturb -
ancc, and Germany cannot pay un -
less permitted to produce.
But the credit question, as already
indicated in these dispatches, is big
ger than the question of the rela
tions with Germany. If underlies
the whole problem of making peace
and the whole question whether or
not the present social organization
of the world will be able to maintain
itself or will yield to drastic changes.
Without a single economic com
mand you would have tho economic
forces of Europe working at cross
purposes, with less harmony than
existed between the military forces
of the Allies before the naming of
Foch as supreme commander.
"Restoring Prosperity"
Countries are barring out each
other's products and striving to kill
ofr tlle industr5es f Gjr ns if
somehow, prosperity could bo re-
stores, provided only enough damage
could be done to rivals.
Instead of commercial industrial
co-operation among peoples who are
setting up peace in tho world thero
is nothing but fear and friction.
The question what part America will
play in furnishing credit for tho fu
'ture doubtless is tho biggest one
iefore the new council.
The council naturally cannot have
authority to compel America to fur
nish credit, or England or France
to let down present economic bar
riers, but its decision on questions
like this will have great weight be
cause its solution of all problems
will bo inter-related.
Europe is likely to get out of
America somo things it wants and
America, in return, to get certain
things it wants in respect to the
restoration of relations with Ger
many. Pressure for credit from the
United States; is not confined to
France. England, much more po
tent diplomatically and commer-
cially than France, is pressing equal-
Iv hard for credit from America,
Thc demand takes two forms-Mian- i
cellation of part of the war loan
and advance of new loans now for
industrial reconstruction.
European government financiers
are not impressedwith the position
of the American Treasury Depart
ment that additional borrowing in'
America is not practicable.
On the question of the cancellation
of tho war debt England is not
likely to take the advanced position
I of offering also to cancel some of her
loans to France and the lesser Allies.
Her argument is that the, weaker
1 nations Vnust get securely 'on their
feet lest they pull down stronger

social difficulties. j fidently was expected by omcIaU today,

and are assisting on the abolition of the

on their wny to picket the mines today
by guards of United States sold'ers.
Those men who decided to go to work
were permitted to pass.
Dlschnrgcd- soldiers, who still wore
army uniforms, were among those doing
picket duty for tho strikers. They wero
singled out by the regular army men
and ordered immediately to discard
their uniforms or cense participating In
tho attempted picketing.
Miners who use tho street cars to get
to their work were prevented from do
ing so when strikers stopped the cars
at the barns. Soldiers cleared the crowd
from the vicinity of tho car barns, but
later a commltteo of union men. It Is
understood, called out the union car
men.
Itecalcltrants Prodded With nayonets
Major A, SI. Jones, In command of
C Company, Forty-fourth United
States Infantry, and n detachment of
E Company, same regiment, had the
streets leading to the mines patrolcd
long before the work hour, and com
mittees of pickets were stopped as
early tut 4 o'clock.
Congregating is forbidden by the mili
tary, and those slow In moving have
been made to feel the sting of the
bayonet's point.
Reports were circulated that soldiers
had fired shots over the heads of the
strikers who prevented tho cars from
leaving the barns, but Major Jones de
nied this. Another report that, addi
tional troops had been asked for also
was denied by Major Jones, who said
that ho had plenty to cope with the
sltuat on. So far no vlolenco has been

Loss of charters and strike benefits

by local officers' to Camp Devtns to be
turned over to army authorities. It was
announced ho would bo charged with

Kaplan's arrest came soon after one
of the most serious disturbances that
have occurred since the strike was in
stituted a week ago. Shortly after tho
mills opened for tho day a crowd of
several hundred strikers and sympa
thizers assembled and defied police or
ders to move on, The officers drew their
clubs, the mob threw things, and several
persons were knocked down In the melee.
Two wero pushed through windows. Two

Organized Hastily to Meet
Wartime Emergency,
Says Critic
New York, Feb. 10. - Charles B.
Barnes, assistant director of the United
States employment service for tho State
of New York, says tho entire Federal
Employment service needs a thorough
reorganization "from top to bottom."
Mr. Barnes recommends;
One. Crentlon of a statutory United
States Employment Service on the
principle of tho State unit, knit 'to
gether by Federal control.
Second. Tnklrig over the existing
Federal offices gradually, under this
legislation, by tho States.
Third. Granting of the appropria
tion asked for by the service upon the
condition slated above'.
Fourth. Licensing of all private
employment agencies engaged In
Interstate business.
"I am strongly In favor," said Mr.
Barnes, "of the continuance of the
United States I'ublla Employment Serv
ice for the reason that there Is not now
In cxlstnnco any other agency of equal
value for dealing with tho returning sol
dier and sailor and the discharged
munition workers."
