Characterizing Characteriz-ing the so-called packer bills pending before congress, and known in the sen ate as the Kenyon and Kendrick bills and in the house as the Anderson bill, a menace to the packing houses, stock yards, commission houses and livestock live-stock business of the intcrmountain country, many Utah and Idaho business busi-ness men havo written to the Utah delegation in Washington to use every effort to defeat the measures. Benjamin L. Rich of Salt Lake, representing rep-resenting the business interests par ticularly aimed at in the passage of the proposed bills, in protests to United Unit-ed States Senators King and Smoot, points out where the enacting of these measures would "prevent, discourage and unjustly interfere wtlh the production, pro-duction, sale and distribution of livestock live-stock and livestock products," and puts the blame for their introduction, particularly par-ticularly the Kenyon bill, on Franch J. Heney as the result, of hi.s crusade against the packing "houses of Chicago recently. Mr. Rich charges Mr. Heney with conducting 'an unfair, one-sided, partial and sensational examination supported by newspaper propaganda."
