strued as an admission that Swift & Co had violated any law
 The company feels that the same spirit which caused the business men of the country to submit to personal sacrifices to win the war he said, lis just as es- sential during this period of reconstruc- ticn as then, and, therefore it meets the request of the government for the sacri- flee of it's own interests The company has consented to the entry of a decree for injunction only upon the expressed condition that it should in as many words recite that the deer rec does not ad- judicate that the company has violated any law of the United States"
 Attorney General Palmer said that over lures for a compromise came from the packers after the department of justice had placed it's evidence before grand jury in Chicago.
 The attitude of Morris & Co was ex- pressed by M. w. Borde.,s. general coun- sel, who said the firm had consented to the decree "in the spirit of true Ameri- cansim.'
 I've gave up certain legal rights and made certain business sacrifices in order to meet the views of the government, " he continued, and to forever set at rest the fear of monopoly of the American table by the packers. In this period of reconstruction and unrest we desired to promote confidence, cooperation and sta- ble conditions"

OPPOSE SELECTION OF MINORITY LEADER
 WITH MANY ABSENT
Harrison Says Hitchcock's Change of Front With Six Underwood Supporters
 Absent Is Outrage
Bv HuGH w. ROBERTS

Washington December 1s-(Special.)- )- The indications are that the democratic senators called into caucus Saturday morning for the purpose of electing a leader will vote to postpone such cleo tion until after the Christmas holidays. The caucus was called by Senator Hitch cock, who is a candidate for leader. When the caucus convenes Senators Reed, Gore, Shields, Owens and smith of Ari- zona, all committed to Senator Under wood, will be absent. The only vote that Hitchcock would lose were the vote to be taken would be that of Senator Phelan.
 On account of the obvious unfairrfess of proceeding in view of the absence of Underwood votes many senators, some of them pledged to Senator Hitchcock have stated their purpose to vote for postpone G nent Senator Underwood, after January F, will be further strengthened by the accession of Secretary Glass, who on that date will take his seat in the Senate.
 t'The action of Senator Hitchcock in calling the caucus in knowledge that six of MT Underwood's friends were absent and could not return in time constituted an outrage said Senator Harrison Of Mississippi.
 The Hitchcock crowd has all along contended for postponement, and then when they knew that the bulk of ab- sentees were supporters of Senator Un- derwood, they call the caucus and give us only AS hours notice. The democratic senators will not tolerate such unfair play"

VAST SUMS INVOLVED

Chicago December 1S.-Segregatlon or disposal of commercial lines not directly allied with the meat and provision busi- ness of the five great packing companie7 is agreed upon between them and the United states Attorney General an nounced by the latter today, will involve reorganization of huge industry with assets of more than Sl, 900 O00, coo
 The agreement was regarded by the .eackers as marking an epoch in industry in that for the first time big business bows to public opinion, recognizing IL as one of the basic supports of commerce
 The packers say that heretofore theo have conducted their business upon eco monies nd legality. They have been sure of their economies and equally certain ot the legality of their business methous, they say, and now they have taken ac- count of the good will of tine public
 Tn 1iyorcing their lines not directly con nected with the meat and provision busl- ness many organizations with separate identities, involving millions of capital. are expected to come into being. Some Of them already had begun the segregation process.
 In the reorganization the firm names of Armour & Co.,, Swift & Co.,. Morris & Co.,, Wilson & Co., and the Cudahy Pack ing company are expected to be absent from the controlling boards of the cor porations.
 The five big packing companies will be restricted to meats and provisions, in cludng butter, eggs. poultry and cheese. While prohibited, under the agreement, from owning stock yards. stock yard ter minals and other. interests not directly related to meats and provisions. they were not separated from ownership of refrigerator car lines. but the use of such cars was restricted to handling their meat business.
 According to packers representatives, soap, glue, cleansing powder and fer tilizer manufacturing is directly connect ed with meat business and will be re- tained

Aladdin s Lamp

Modern Lamp
 Many a successful man ascribes the com Ipleteness of his success to the one fact that he has enjoy ed good health
 That is the greatest blessing any man can enjoy.
 Only the man without lit may fully understand his handicap; and the one desire of his heart, If he could have for one instant .Aladdin's won derful lamp, would be the wish for good health
 But good health is not a permanent possession of any man. The strong est is subject to occa- sional illness. Like acci- dents, illness comes un- |aWares, and now and then holds one bedfast for many a weary week.
 In such case, fortu- nate indeed is the prov ident man who has pro- tected himself against financial loss through an "Accid ent and Health insurance pol icy.
 The special feature of this policy is that in case of illness from any cause, as we'll as acci- dent, the insured is paid weekly benefit through 9 long period; and, in addition, the policy has all the usual features providing indemnity for loss of life or limb through accident.
 This very attractive and necessary policy is written at moderate cost every day by that corps of efficient insurance experts at Trustees Sys- tenn Insurance Agency, Inc, 2024 1st Avenue. Its beneficial features help to bring nearer to lthe average man that if nan cial success he dreams of.
 In fact, in our modern age, an Accident and Health policy not infre- quently is a. very good substitute for Aladdin's sI wonderful lamp. RusTEEs | 5x5TEM

WILL NOT DROP BILLS

Bills proposing government regulation of the packing industry, now before the senate agriculture committee, will not be abandoned as a result of the decree, Sem ators Kenyon, Iowa, and Kendrick, Wyo- ming. authors of the measures, announced tonight.
 '.The Attorney Generals victory is merely step, though very long one, toward the goal we have been seeking to attain" said MT. Kendrick. ''The fruits of his victory may be made permanent only by legislation along the lines of the measures now pending"
 Senator Kendrick said the decree was tho most telling blow yet delivered against the high cost of living. Senator Kenyon declared the government should maintain over tine packers the control provided by the pending bills, inasmuch as it is evident they were building the greatest monopoly the country has ever known"

UNDERSTANDING FIGHT.

 Retirement of the packers from all lines of business except the meat and produce business ends a fight of long standing, which has been an issue in elections and political debate for years, the subject of much attempted legisla- tion, the cause of the expenditure of thousands of dollars in investigations and untold bitterness between the pack CTS on the one hand and the govern ment, live stock producers and small business firms on the other.
 The present settlement is an out growth of an investigation started by the federal trade commission by direc- ton of President Wilson on February z, 19l7 letter reviewing that work and what it accomplished was transmitted to the White House tonight by Chairman Murdock and his associates.
 "The commission thanks you, MT. Pres Gent," the letter said, for your un- swerving support in its labors; acknowl- edges the sympathetic cooperation of the department of agriculture and the department of justice and the other branches of the government, and of the many good citizens whose aid has made the completion of it's task possible. And, lastly, the patience and generosity of the Congress and of it's committees in both houses
 Much evidence obtained by the com mission from the private files of the packers was made public, despite deter mined opposition by the packers, in ex- parte hearings in Washington and other cities which were sensational in their revelations of financial manipulation by means of dummy directors, bearer war rants and other devices to conceal the persons involved.
 When the investigation was transferred to Chicago, a hot legal fight resulted from raid on the private vault of Hen " Veeder, from which Francis J. Heney of San Francisco. special counsel for the commission, took letters and papers alleged to have related to collision be- tween the packers to control the market and prices of live stock. Veeder stopped Heney from further examination of his files by obtaining a federation injunc- ton, pending which both sides main tained guards around the vault night and day.
 LIST TO AGREEMENT
 The corporations and individuals against whom, will be directed the red eral court decree under which the big packers will confine themselves here after wholly to the meat and provision business include:
