HE SLABS BACK
j. Ogden Armour Criticises
Packers 'Nemesis'-Heney.
Prober Stirs Discontent-Al-
ready Under Govt Control.

Chicago, Jan. IL. ogden Armour,
packer in an interview here assails
Francis ]. Heney, attorney for the fed
eral trade commission, for giving out
interviews
almost daily during the last two
weeks there have appeared in the
press interviews with Mr.. Heney in
which he has undertaken to tell what
he and the government intended to do
with the packers said Armour.
1.-THE public was told Saturday that
the government will assume control
of the business of the packers thru re-
ceiVerShipS. On other occasions Mr.
Heney has informed the public that
the packers would be prosecuted CIV
lily or erirainally and on one occasion
has intimated that certain of them
would be sent to Jail.
Appeals to public Opinion"
IT had assumed until 1 read Mr..
Heney's interview that the question of
civil or criminal prosecutions or TAX
ing charge of the packers business
thru receiverships was matter that
was lodged by law in the department
of justice.
Under an act of congress the gov
ernment has in effect already assumed
practical control of the packing bust
ness.
mo greater injury can be done the
packers than to affect their credit by
fomenting public discomfort. If there
is no other way to curb Mr.. HeEey,
then the packers must resort to the
only avenue that is left and appeal to
public opinion"
