Heney. attorney for the government in the investigation in-vestigation by the federal trade commission commis-sion into the meat industry in its various aspects, said today that he had not yet decided where or when the next hearing will be held. After the St. Paul. Minn., hearing a week ago the committee had expected to go to Sioux City, Iowa, but on the dav set the commission did not appear. Kvidence adduced at St. Paul and information in-formation from other sources made it wise to do further work in Chicago, explained Mr. Heney. "I have been here since leaving leav-ing St. Paul and members of the commission commis-sion are in Washington. They left it to me to decide where to hold the next heaving. heav-ing. There will be further hearings: that is as definite as I can be at this time." Mr. Heney, asked as to a rumor that the appropriation of $i'50,0o0 for the investigation in-vestigation was running low, said that matter belonged to the commissioners and they had not said anything to him about it. He admitted that the investigation of packers' books to determine costs and profits cut a big hole in the appropriation. appropria-tion. i i
