new HOME RULE PLAN
ASSAlD IN DUBLIN

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24-The
press OF Ireland, as represented by
such of the Dublin journals that are
stilt publishing. is hostile to Premier
Lloyd Georges plan for q settlement,
says a copyrighted dispatch to the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. The
Irish Tines, organ of unionism. says:
For many reasons. some good and
some bad. three-Quarters Of the Irish
people viii reject this bill. Its prin-
ciples are hateful alike to unionists
and to nationahsts. We yearn for
peace, but in this offer we see not
peace, but the sword"
The Evening Telegraph, owned by
the proprietors OF the suppressed
Freemans Journal, and now publish
ed as morning newspaper, says:
His proposal Is not q measure or
statesmanship, it is a political cynic's
sad joke. at the expense Of a nation
which he has thrown into chaos. It
Is not contribution to Irish peace,
but IL Is a further contribution to
Irish disorder on the plea that Ulster
must not be coerced. He retains in
British hands control over our trade
and trade marts; control over our
postal services; control over our
judiciary; control over Irish customs,
excise and income taxes and the col
lection of practically all our Irish
reyenue. He keeps at least eighteen
millions Of the balance of Irish reve-
nue. in his pocket and at the same
time magnanimously explains that he
proposes a free gift of land purchase
annunities to Ireland. It Is simply
false to say that a real measure Of
self-government for Ireland would
not be indorsed by British opinion
and honestly worked by the Irish
people"

PACKERS DESCRIBE
THEIR AGREEMENT
Assert Interest In Agencies For
eign to Stock Yards Was to
Improve Facilities.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-A statement Of
the motives Of the packers in enter
ing into an agreement with the De-
partment Of Justice to sell part. Of
their interests and to refrain from
trading in certain commodities Is set
forth in an announcement from L. r.
Swift, president of Swift & Co. He
says:
although It is true that we have
agreed to sell our interests in stock
yards. I want tosemphatically assert
that our principal reason for being in
terested in stock yards has been to
improve the facilities for the proper
marketing and handling Of live stock.
and that ownership in such yards has
not been used as q means of manipu-
lating prices. Of obtaining unfair
proflts.
Il have often publicly announced that
we should be willing to part with our
interests in stock yards II arrange
ments could be made to continue their
efficient operation.
Handling Ca8neA Goods.
AS for our willingness to stop
handling canned goods and q few
other commodities ordinarily sold by
wholesale grocers, I want to emphar
size the fact that there have been am
pie economic reasons for our handling
these products. in that we have the
distributive machinery to get these
goods from producer to consumer in
most direct and economical fashion.
I'VE believe that eventually the pub
lie would have come to realize the
soundness OF our position, but because
OF the spirit Of unrest and misunder-
standing we are glad to make some
sacrifices and concessions. believe
that 1t Is just as necessary to make
such sacrifices during the uncertain
period Of reconstruction as II was dur
ing the war.
Let me direct attention to the fact
that the decree to which we have
agreed to submit in no way finds us
guilty Of combination in restraint Of
trade. or of any other illegal prac-
tices. Under no condition would /
have consented to such solution IL
the decree were to charge US with
guilt.
strenethens Law.
For this reason, enJoining US from
combining to restrain trade will in
no way affect our operations, because
we are an independent unit in open
competition with the other large
packers and with the hundredE of
smaller ones The decree IN this re-
spect will merely strengthen existing
law, which we are following to the
letter.
'Our position is in no way an admis-
sisn that we have been guilty of any
thing economically, legally, or moral
ly wrong, and that we have made this
concession with the sincene hope that
it will help to overcome the suspicion
which still turks in the minds of
many people,"
