PACKERS GRIP
EXCEPT ON MEAT
IS PRIED LOOSE
Decree Filed Enioining the
"Big Five" From Engag-
ing in Handling Side Lines
Other Than Produce.

teY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LGAsEu wIREl
Washington, Feb. 27. - The
agreed decree under which the "big
five packers are forever en-
joined from engaging IN any line
of business other than that of han
ding meat and produce, was filed
today in the District of Columbia
supreme court.
Counsel for the packers in a
statement to the court said the de-
cree had been agreed to by the de-
PENDANTS mot because of guilt, for
they have not violated any law;
but that the American people may
be assured that there is not the re
motest possibility of food monop
oily by the packers"
After hearing statements by
counsel for the government and the
packers, Chief Justice Mccoy
signed the injunction making effec-
tive the agreement:
Attorney General Palmer in a
statement commenting on the eff
feet of the divorcement decree
said:
"The decree which the depart.
ment of justice has brought about
lby urgent insistence, is designed &c
restore freedom of competition anC
increase the opportunities for indi.
vidual initiative in business, which
must in time bear good fruit for the
public welfare.
"Those great aggregations oI
capital which have come to be
known as the big five have beer
able to dominate so many lines OF
trade that their continued and un.
restrained growth constituted d
real menace not only to American
business, but to the American con
suming public as we'll
"Under the decree entered today
the chief packing companies, theil
subsidiaries and principal stock
holders are compelled to sell pref
erable to livestock producers and
the public.
"An their holdings in public
stockyards;
"All their interest in stockyard
railroads and terminals;
"All their interest in market
newspapers;
IAN their interest in public cold
storage warehouses, except that
which is necessary for their own
meat products;
"They are barred forever from
the retail meat business.
'They are barred forever from
dealing in unrelated lines which
include: wholesale groceries. fish
vegetables and fruits"
Agreement for the filing of the
decree, Mr.. Palmer said in an
nouncing it last December, would
have the effect of establishing 1.-THE
principle that no group of men, nc
matter how powerful, can ever at
tempt to control the food table OF
the American people or any one
of the necessities or component
parts of it,"

Washington, Feb. 27.--Divorce-
ment of the packers from all bust.
ness not directly related to the
packing of meat was made manda-
tory today through signature OF
Chief Justice Mccoy in the District
of Columbia supreme court of de.
cree filed by Attorney Genera
Palmer with the concurrence of the
packers.
The decree, which must be car
ried out within two years, affects
eighty-seven corporations and for
ty-nine individuals, of which Swift
& Co, Armour & Co., Morris & Co.
Wilson & Co. and the Cudahy
Packing company are the mejol
members.
In his statement to the court, Mr.
Palmer said the decree was sweep
ing in its scope" adding he was
sure 1t would be highly beneficial
to the public in its effect"
THE Decree" he said is de-
signed to restore freedom of compe-
tition and increase the opportuni-
ties for individual initiative in bus
mess, which must in time bear
good fruit for the public welfare
In brief the decree moves the me-
mace of control of unrelated indus.
tries by the big five and confines
their activities in future to the bus,
mess of distributing meat and Its
by-products under an injunction
which restrains them from unfair
and unlawful practices"
M. w. Border, in making a joint
statement for the defendants, said
it was not guilt which prompted the
packers to enter into the decree
for they have not violated any
law" Instead the packers, he de-
sired to assure the American peo-
pie that monopoly of the food sup
ply by the packers was not posi-
BILE; to stop criticism of the indus
try, damaging alike to it and to the
people; to promote better under
standing between the industry and
the public during "the dangerous
period of reconstruction" and to
stabilize conditions in order that
the efficiency and benefits of the
industry might be preserved.
THAT the packing industry is ef-
ficient and conducted on the small
est margin of profits of any large
basic industry in the country" he
said, ''the defendants stand ready
and willing to demonstrate at all
times. If this is true as to profits,
which we most solemnly ae, sarula
which we most solemnly assert,
then it is to the interest of every
man, woman and child in this ma
tion that this essential and complex
industry be given just, fair
and equitable treatment"

With Other Editors
No Tears.
(New York World.


The public which recently watched the price
of sugar soar skyward is now observing its
even more precipitate decline and with
less painful emotions. 1t has seen the
retail prics fall from rs cents a pound to
1e, to the accompaniment of narrowing tales
OF serious losses by dealers who had laid in
large stocks with which to profteer. And is
there sorrow in the soul of the consumer?
About the same degree, no doubt, as that felt
ty the tenant when the grasping landlord comes
to grief
The Spectators counted on the continuance
Of shortage which their greed has been large
ly instrumental in breaking: the inflated prce>
attracted sugar to this country from unexpected
sources OF supply all over the world. They
counted on a craze for candy and soft drinks
under prohibition which proved delusive Now
they have to unload under conditions which
may drive prices lower before they are
stabilized.
Housewives and consumers who laid in
! small stocks for household reserves have no
| dcuDt been pinched in the process But the
| burden of the fall has been borne by the deal
ers who set out to take advantage of the pub
slic's necessity and for whom there will be no
tears. The people are spectators of An eco
| mimic drama which might be called "The
Fucker Plucked," and it is quite as exciting
as the movies.

Labor Day.

It IL doubtful II the little group Of men who
proposed parade by the Knights Of Labor in
New York in the fall of 1889 had the remotest
idea Of how the movement would spread.
Here 50 years later, Labor day is legal
holiday in all the states. excepting possibly
three OF the western ones, the first Monday in
September. In Europe there is similar holt
day observed on the first of May. There, in
1850, May day began to be observed as Labor
day with demonstration towards the 8-hour
day. There. as here. parades and addresses
featuring prominent minds in the labor world,
mark the day. And labor, and everybody else
almost, for that matter. takes real day off
The Knights OF Labor, in 1882 and again in
1884, held a parade in New York. Then they
passed resolutions that all parades of the kind
were to be held on the same day, the first Mon
day in September. Workers began agitation
for making the day legal holiday. Colorado
was the first to acquiesce. The other states
followed rapidly
In the tri-cites Labor day has been OBJ
served by the federation for years, in the
celebration, Rock Island, Moline and Davenport
alternating in doing the honors of the occa-
sion. This year it is Davenports turn, and it
is hoped that the hosts who represent the po-
tent influence of the men who toll will find this
years celebration as heretofore, of helpful
power.
