MENT IN FEDERAL COURTS
TO PROVISION AND MEAT
PACKING.

Washington. Dec. 19-The govern
mcnt's antitrust action against the
great meat packers. begun last summer
rs part of the fight on the high cost of
living. has been compromised under an
agreement by which the packers Will
,onfine themselves hereafter to the
meat and provision business
An injunction decree, to which the
packers have acceded, VIII be entered
II The federal courts to make the agree
.nent binding. Under its terms, the
son and Cudnhy-have agreed to di-
'orce their meat packing Industries
from their other commercial activities
and to sell their holdings in public
Stockyards and their interests in
stockyard railroads, terminals, market
newspapers and similar "side lines
Two years are given to comply with
the decree which affects eighty-seven
corporations, and forty-nine individ-
uas
I'm general" said Attorney Palmer's
official announcement, this decree pre-
vents the defendants from exercising
any further control over the marketing
of livestock. 1t forever prevents them
from any control over the retailing of
meat products. 1t eliminates them from
the field of meat substitutes, with the
exception Of eggs, butter, poultry and
cheese, which are left for future con-
sIderation and action; and, therefore,
the price of meat is within control of
the people themselves. 1t places the
conduct of these great aggregations of
capital Immediately under the eye of
u Federal Court with reference to their
business practices.
But, greater than all, 1t establishes
the principle that no group of men, no
matter how powerful, can ever attempt
to control the food table of the Amer
lean people or any one of the necessi-
ties or component parts of it.
THE Department of Justice, having
in mind the necessities and interests
of the whole American people in this
.ritical reconstruction period, feels
that by insisting upon this surrender
on the part of packing interests it has
accomplished more for the American
people than could have been hoped for
as the result of Il long drawn out legal
battle"
Retirement of the packers from all
lines Of business except the meat and
produce business ends fight of long
standing, which has been an issue il
elections and political debates for
years. the subject of much attempted
q
thousands of dollars in Investigations
and untold bitterness between the
packers on the one hand and the gov
ernment. livestock producers and small
business firms on the other.
