Further In flation of foodstuff prices would result from the passage of the Kcnjon bill to regulate nnd license the packing in dustry, Ij. D. II. Weld, manager of the commercial research department of Swift & Co., testified today before the Senate agricultural committee, where the bill Is under consideration. "The main objection to the bill," Mr, Weld said, "is in the fact that It was ba6ed upon reports of the federal trade commission, which unsaturated with glaring inaccuracies and misstate ments. This would be serious enough, but the matter docs not rest there, be cause the bill if passed will further in flate the already high cost of living." "Elemental fncts in tho meat busi ness," Mr. Weld saM, "proved that the packets' profit ou meat transac tions was about two cents on a dollar. Consumer Sure to Suffer "The Kenyon bill must cither inter fprn with the farmers' end of meat production or with the packers' pnrt of tho business if designed to nffect the high cost of living," he snld. "If the farmer is lilt, he will cut down production, which will bring higher stock prices. If the packer is lilt and his business crippled, tho result will be higher manufacturing costs, and these, too, will have to be passed on." Mr. Weld paid his respects to Com missioner Colvcr, of the trade com mission, n previous witness, remarking that "many of his statements here were exaggerated and inaccurate." Swift &. Co. owned no retail stores in England and Mr. Weld snld he had been unable to find that any other American packer did so. "Mr. Colvcr came in here and told jou gentlemen that the five large pack ers controlled more than 75 per cent of the business in hides," lie con tinued. "They handle less than 50 per cent, and I assure you thero is the keenest competition between v all of them. Analyzes Colver's Testimony "He told you the packers handled 700 commodities. Let me reveal to ou some of the processes by which he reached this figure. He mentioned as separate items butterinc, oleo and oleomargarine. All three nre the same. ne looK twcniy-mree cuts ui um a "u ; jBianiaajaia'siaiaiaiaiaiBEMaiasMaiBraraia listed them as twenty-three items, lie i & gave 115 items as a list of by-products of cattle dressing. He mentioned thirty-seven items of sausage. "Mr. Colvcr made the flat statement that the packers hac not put any new capital into the business from outside sources since 1004. Swift & Co. alone has added $S5,000,000 new cash capi tal from sales of shares. Mr. Colver persistently ignored tho number of packing concerns in business in this country. Some 233 concerns are en gaged in interstate business besides the big packers, and, moreover, several hundred concerns do a big local and intrastate business. "If the Kenyon bill is passed, the splendid and elaborate service given the country at large by the big packers will be interfered with in a way"Jhat will hurt everybody concerned pro ducers, packers and consumers."

Sales are double those of last ear's sale, due in part, no doubt, to the fact that the public generally has come to the realization that prices are rising all the time. There is an especially beautiful hutch or cupboard in the sale, which you really must see. It shows the Gothic influence in its design and would look well with either Gothic or Renaissance furniture. Besides the larger pieces of furniture there are a number of smaller things, such as candlesticks, book-ends, etc., which would make acceptable- gifts, anil as there will not be another furniture sale before Christmas and prices are constantly advancing, you would do well to buy now.
