 YARD DISPOSAL IS
 REJECTED BY J. s.

 Litigation When Case Is Heard October '
By Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The plan of the Big Five" Chicago meat packers for disposition of their stock yard interests was rejected by the government today on the ground that it provided new means by which the buying and selling of live stock could be restrained and controlled.
 Formal objection to the packer pro- posal and to Frederick H. Prince and Company, Boston bankers, as a proposed purchaser of the interests. was filed by Attorney General Palmer in the District of Columbia Supreme Court Refusal of the attorney general to agree to the plan opens the way for litigation when the case is heard in court, October T.
 Sanction of the plan of the packers, the governments petition declared would mean approval of violation of the anti trust laws. It was held that the hold ing corporation which the packers sug- packer interests would constitute. in it. self, violation of the Sherman law and that it would result in manipulation of sales and traffic so that packing plants at the yards so owned by the corpora ton would be given preference and others retarded.
 The objections of the Department of Justice, as set forth in the governments s petition. followed the lines of a recent report by the Federal Trade Commission, which held that the proposed holding corporation would enable employment of monopolistic practices,
 In submitting it's petition, the govern ment laid before the court no alternative plan and officials declined to predict the course that would be followed should the court sustain the government.
