PISO’S
He Got a Seat
Speaking of street cars reminds one
of the latest—the very latest—thing In
wording heard on a local traction line.
This was sprung on an unsuspecting
world the other night—morning, rather
—about three o’clock.
The springer told about it to his of-
fice mates the next morning as fol-
lows :
“I’m so used to standing up In the
street car that I don't know how to sit
down any more, actually,” he said. “I
feel more rested standing up than sit-
ting down. We always like what we
grow accustomed to, of course—sort of
force of habit; strong thing, you know,
aa all our well-known psychologists
agree.
“The other afternoon I stood up for
| miles, and finally a lady got out,
and a motherly looking woman said
to me, ‘Here’s a seat,’ and I said, ‘It’s
a pretty seat, all right.’
“But that night I started to tell you
about—believe me, boys, if you want
to get a seat on a Washington street
I car go home at three o’clock in the
morning. It is pretty late, I’ll admit,
but the lateness of the hour has its
compensation. •
“I got on, and there wasn’t anybody
else on the car, but I got a seat, boys ;
I got a seat!”—Washington Star.

To The
American Peopli
There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com-
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and I want to say emphatic-
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
an/ conspiracy to defraud the Govern-
ment. Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conference* of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing a felony by acting
in collusion on Government bids!
We have done our be*t, with other
packers, large an<i small, to comply with
the directions of the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S.
Army and Navy and the Allies, now be-
ing handled through the Food Adminis-
tration.
We will continue to do our utmost,un-
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Adminis-
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain and most press-
ing duty.
The Trade Comnji**ion Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha-
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, a false and
sinister meaning with the plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
*ervice* of the packers of the
Uiuted States are most urgently needed,
and I regret exceedingly that we should at
this toe have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded
unproved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public.
