Says Stock' Held For Winter Consumption Only (ContiniiPd from First Pupe.) production would be lost, because the supply would temporarily ex ceed the demand and prices would fall So low that production would be discouraged. Later, without storage stocks to draw from, a serious shortage of these commodities would occur withresultant high prices. Nobody would benefit from such a situation and consumers would pay much higher average prices. Swift Companv.does not nur 'chase. arid store goods for specula tion, but merely to assure our branch houses of a supply sufficient to meet the needs of their trade throughout the year.

''If stocks of butter, eggs and other commodities are commandeered and thrown on the market, there is little Question but that current prices will be forced down temporarily, but. where will your butter and eggs come from next 'winter, when these storage stocks normally would be used to bridge over these months of small production. "Finally, the public does not appreciate that the apparently large stocks or meat in storage are not Deing neia tnere until prices are increased, but are really in. the process of manufacture. Over So percent of the foods in cold storage is meats and meat products according to the government report or the Bureau of Markets for Julv 1, and, of these approximately 74 percent is in process of being cured in pickle or salt or Is awaiting curing and so is not available for immediate consumption even though comman deered.

Nineteen percent (of the United States frozen beef and mut ton and miscelleanous products. part of which is owned by the United Slates government, seven percent, is lard, a normal stock. "When analyzed in the light of the facts, the importance of these apparently tremendous stocks hoarded foods begins to diminish. This is a good example of why the packing industry is misunderstood largely because we cannot keep the public informed on all the practical and highly technical phases of our business and because many of the facts published from other sources are presented in a sensational manner, Avhich creates unwarranted prejudices unquotes."

Mewill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church, New Big Crowd at Station v' A large crowd had gathered at lh WHijte Plains station to pay tribute to the man whose benefactions had made his name famous throughout the world, and the casket, followed. by the little party of mourners, including Mr. Carnegie's widow and his only daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, passed through a lane of silent, bare headed spectators to the waiting automobiles. The trip to the cemetery consumed 47 minutes.

Five minutes after (he cortege arrived at the Carnegie lot, the ironmaster's remains ad been placed in the $40,000 crypt constructed recently to receive his body, and that of his wife. Private Detectives at Job A corps of private detectives had been stationed at the cemetery throughout the day to ward off photographers, souvenir hunter.Tand the curious, and the gates of the cemetery, were closed halfat hour before the funern! to injure privacy. Despite these precautions, however, two women and three girls managed to mnkc their way into the enclosure nnd watched the brief services from the tops of nearby monuments. The hearse and six automobiles, followed by two machines loaT with floral offerings made up the entire funeral cortege. The little.

party remained in their automobiles until the casket had been removed from the hearse and placed in a plain oak receiving bos, which bore on a copper, plate the legend "Andrew Carnegie. born November 24, 1835, died August 11, ia 1 n. The mourners then alighted and were seated while Dr. Merrill read a short commitment service. Mrs.

The ritual of the Presbyterian church was used bv the officiating clergyman, Dr. William Pierson Merrill, of the Brick Presbyterian church, Fifth avenue, New York, which the Carnegies attended and of which Mrs. Carnegie and her daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, were members.

The mahogany of the casket was covered with heavy black broadcloth. A small name plate of silver bore only me inscription "Andrew Carnegie, born at Dunfermline, Scotland Nov. 26, 1835.

Died Lenox. Aug. 11, 1919." Just before 10.30; o'clock this morning the hour. set for the funeral, those who were to hear the last rites entered the room and grouped themselves about the casket. With Mrs.

At Kissinger's Market. DEALERS TO BEAT CONGRESS TO IT Will Investigate Coal Business Themselves and Give U. Results WASHINGTON, ug. 14. Complete investigation of the coal industry before any attempt at federal control or regulation in the campaign against high costs of living was urged in resolution adopted today by the executive committee of the American Wholesale Coal Association.

"The coal trade," said the resolution, "is willing to present to the proper government body the cost of dojng business as wholesalers, and of producing coal, and at the same time information to determine the investment at replacement cost, in working capital, plant ind equipment. Such information is necessary to the de termination of a fair return per ton, and the fair return should be determined after allowing for costs of selling and other proper expenses which were not taken care of in the margin allowed by the United Fuel Administrator during the war." The resolutions asserted that through coal the markets of the world are opened, adding that the economic advancement and independence of the United States depended upon American coal being handled abroad by Americans. attempt," the resolution says, use American coal to hold a foreign market for foreign dealers and bankers should be opposed by all Americans." CI I0E3OC I0C3Q1 Dives, Pomeroy Stewart WILSON TO MEET (Continued from First Paso.) in possession of all the information he has about the treaty. The committee in its acceptance of the President's offer stipulated that it wanted no ban of secrecy on the discussion. The President chose the White House as the place of meeting.

The proposal to consult the President grew out of a general discussion whether the committee should continue its hearings or proceed to act on the facts already before it. Senator Johnson, Republican, California, is understood first to have mentioned the President as a witness, but the formal suggestion that the committee meet him was made by Senator Loose. Democrats Second Motion Democratic members, promptly seconding the suggestion, pointed out that the committee had been told in its hearings that only the President could reveal certain features of the peace negotiations, and declared that Mr. Wilsons informal offer to receive the members at the White House remained open. In deciding to call additional Witnesses the committee reversed its decision reached yesterday to speed action on the treaty.

It was voted to "request appearance of five persons, advisers at Versailles who resigned, it has been reported, because they disagreed with decision of the conference regarding Shantung and Russia. Tlhey are E. T. Williams, S. K.

Hornbeck and William C. Bullitt. The others summoned are Jbhn C. Ferguson 'and Thomas F. Millard, suggested as authorities on Far Eastern affairs.

Not to Call Other Delegates Dividing 9 to 8 the committee rejected a motion to question also General Tasker H. Bliss, Colonel K. M. House and. Henry White, who.

with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing made up the American Peace Commission proper. It was 30CXOI IOBOI said afterward that the action with regard to Colonel House might be reconsidered should members fail to get from President Wilson the information they desire about, the League of Nations negotiations. Some of the witnesses summoned are 'understood to be abroad, "and some members thought their appearance would make a report on the treaty impossible for special weeks. In that connection it was intimated" at the White House that Senator Hitchcock acted with the backing of the President yesterday when" he told the committee that unless there was some prospect a report soon independent action might develop on the Senate floor.
