DECREE BARS
ACTIVITIES OF
BIC PACKERS
BY Court Action "Big Five''
Are Forever Enjoined From
All Lines of Business Ex-
Cept Meat and Produce.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--The agreed
decree under which the big Five
packers are forever enjoined from en-
gaging In any line Of business other
than that of handling meat and pro.
duce was filed today in the District OF
Columbia supreme court.
1t was submitted by Attorney General
Palmer, who said 1t removes the
menace of control Of unrelated indus
tries by the Big Five and confines
their activities in future to the bust
ness of distributing meat and its by
products"
Counsel for the packers in n state
ment to the court said the decree had
been agreed to by the defendants mot
because of guilt, for they have not
violated any law; but that the Ameri-
can people may be assured that there
is not the remotest possibility of a
food monopoly by the packers
After hearing statements by counsel
for the government and the packers,
Chief Justice Mccoy signed the in
junction, making effective the agree
ment
Attorney General Palmer, in a state
ment commenting on the effect of the
enforcement decree, said:
THE decree which the department of
Justice has brought about Ivy urgent in
sistence. is designed to restore freedom
of competition and increase the oppor-
tpnities for individual initiative in
business which must in time bear good
fruit for the public welfare.
Those great aggregationS OF capital
which have come to be known as the
big five have been able to dominate
so many lines of trade that their con-
tinued and unreStrained growth constl-
tuted a real menace not only to Amerl-
can business, but to the American con-
suming public as well.

PEOPLE IN STREET
CAR FARE FIGHT
Has Heart tO-Heart Talk With
Members of State Utilities

\ passed Raise in Fares.

Mayor Paine has personally taken up
the fight ot the people of Memphis
against the contemplated increase In
tne street car fares from TO cents.
re spent Thursday in Nashville,
Where IN conference with the three
commission he frankly told them that
the city administration, II the fares are
raised. viii use every possible legal
means to resist such an Increase.
ID 2 conference lasting several hours,
ne set forth his reasons for arguing
inst a scent fare. the rate which has
pReh charged since June, 1918, Is ample
TO provide necessary revenues even
upon the large valuation fixed on the
street railway properties All three Of
the commissioners. 3. 4. Enloe. Geo.
M Welch and Harvey n Hannah, We're
present.
Mayor Paine found that the state
commission is considering allowing a
return OF 7la per cent on the base valu-
alton already agreed upon. which Is
&iLS64,934 That would mean net
revenue of sssS,b20 year.
The commissioners admitted that they
had in mind fixing the rate OF fare ON
the cost Of service basis. and that they
had considered raising the fare TO Z
cents flat, including transfers, with a
provision that 10 tickets should be sold
for 65 cents.
Mayor Paine was prepared with q
summary of the figures submitted both
by Mr.. Tutwiler and by the city's ex-
pert. Ross w, Harris. at fhe hearing.
Taking Mr., Tutwiler's MAXIMUM esti-
mates of the cost of service. mainten-
aflce and taxes and his minimum esti-
mate Of the probable number of pas
sengers to be carried this year Mr..
Paine showed the commissioners that
on that basis, and allowing In addition
q ia per cent on the valuation, the
rate of fare per passenger would be
only 600 cents. That was using MIR.
Tutwiler's own estimates, 1t must be
remembered
Using Mr.. Harris estimates. II was
shown that on cost of service basis,
allowing all the estimates made by Mr.
would be ample to supply the necessary
revenues and that If Mr., Tutwiler' 4
lnaMimum estimates were somewhat re-
fiNeed. the fare would be more than
ample to provide the revenue deemed
necessary by the state commission.
Mayor Paine also called on Gov. Rob
