PACKER KINGS BOW TO EDICT.
AND AGREE TO CUT BUSINESS
Operations to be Continued Solely to
Provision Meat Packing in Future.

Washington, Dec is:-The govern
ment's antitrust action against the
meat packers, begun at President VIII
sn's direction last summer as part of
the fight on the high cost of living, has
been compromised under the agree
ment by which the packers will con-
fine themselves hereafter to the meat
and provision business.
An injunction decree to which the
packers have acceeded will be entered
in the Federal courts to make the
agreement binding. Under its terms
the big Five"-Swift, Armour, Nor
ris, Wilson, and Cudahy-have agreed
to divorce their meat-packing indus
tries from their other commercial acti-
vities and to sell their holdings in
public stockyards and their interests
in stockyard railroad terminals, mar
kets, newspapers and similar "side
lines"
Two years are given to comply with
the decree which affects 81 corpora
tions and 40 individuals.
Now Under Eyes of United States
"In general" said Attorney Pal
mer's official announcement tonight,
"this decree prevents the defendants
from exercising any further control
over the marketing of livestock. 1t
forever prevents them from any con-
troll over the retailing of meat pro-
ducts. 1t eliminates them from the
field of meat substitutes with the ex-
ception of butter, eggs, poultry and
cheese, which are left for future con-
sideration and action; and therefore,
the price of meat is within the control

ference 10 their business practices.
Strikes At Food Monopoly
"But greater than all, it establishes
the principle that no group Of men.
no matter how powerful, can ever at
temp to control the food table Of the
American people or any one Of the
necessary or component parts of it."
Morris States Packers Case
Edward Morris president of the
Morris Packing Company said that
the packers "still insist that it was in
the interest of the livestock produ-
GERS" that stockyards should be own
ed by the people interested in the in
dustry and that the packers staple
grocery business was sound economic
ally, and "in the interest of the pub
lie generally" because it utilized
facilities in slack seasons reduced over
head expenses and furnished the re-
taller excellent services" He added
"If the business is taken away, either
the livestock producers must get less
for the live meat animals or the con-
sumer must pay more for meat. But
we live in democracy, and rightly or
wrongly, strong feeling has been
created in the public mind against
these activities on the part Of the
packers

Record Stockman:-

Western Slope stockmcn of the
Grand River Valley, have determined
that there is no longer any virtue in
submitting without protest to the
rotten railroad service that has been
dealt out recently by the railroads.
At special meeting Of the Western
Slope Stock Growers Protective As
foCiatiou held in Rife last week, il
vas pointed out that the railroad ser
VICE va not only rotten but expensive
and that they could more easily stand
a strong Increase in railroad rates,
provided good service accompanied It,,
than the kind of service they have
been compelled to put up with the
last shipping season.
There were many stockmcn present,
and As practically all of them had been
to market during the past few months
all Joined in the chorus Of lament.
Stock trains that spent hours on side
tracks, and there were days in making
i journey that should have occupied a
few hours; cabooses without fire and
crowded to twice their capacity with
drivers who had no place TO rest tho
weary bodies and no chance to warm
themselves in zero weathef: days
spent at shipping stations waiting for
cars that never came; shrinking cat
tie that resulted in thousands of dol
lars loss, were part Of the tales Of
woe and experiences were compared
with the god old days when the roads
were operated by competition and
some attempt was made TO give fairly
decent service.
Names Committee on War
II was decided that the time had
come to start fight and committee
was appointed to start the war by ask
ing members of the state legislation
to select a committee of hold over
senators TO investigate the facts and
report with recommendations to the
regular session of the Legislature a
year from now.
1t was pointed out that the railroads
made no effort to pay for stock killed
by trains since the government operat-
ed them and in addition they took the
hides of the animals they killed and
sold them for the benefit of the roads.
and cases were reported where section
men who skinned the animals killed
by the railroads. took tn ryea. for
themselves and even sold it at cut
rates. The convention decided to
consult an attorney to see If sometime
could not be done to get Justice.
Notwithstanding the heavy snow
and the difficulty in getting around.
there were about hundred present
Friday and among the outside people
present were: Hon. f. NJ. Ammons,
Jas. Brennan of Swift & Company,
Nr. Courtney, of Armour & Company,
and Fred p. Johnson of Denver. Mr..
Ammons addressed the meeting on
the kendick Kenyon bill and after
hearing his explanation of the bill the
convention unanimously voted to enter
4 strong protest against the consider
alton of such measures by congress.
Addresses were made by Mr.. Courtney
and Fred Johnson, of the Record
Stockmen, and it was decided to urge
that strong delegation be sent to
