COURT REJECTS ALL
PLANS OF PACKERS
Schemes for Separation From
Stock Yards Held to Be
Unsatisfactory.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.--All proposals
20 far advanced by the big Five" meat
packers for divestins themselves OF their
stock yard interests were rejected to-day
by Justice Stafford in the District SUI
prone Court. The companies were given
thirty days In which to submit new
plans
At the same time the court warned
that unless the defenjants proposed
plans that would meet requirements out
lined it would "feel obliged to appoint
officers to take title to all the stocks OF
the stock yards in question and to hold
the same subject to the order of the
court until suitable agreements can be
made to have It disposed of In accord
ance with the terms and purposes OF the
decree" agreed upon between the pack
ers and the Government more than a
year ago.
In formal statement reghrding the
courts decision the Department of JUS
tice interpreted this as meaning that
if the packers did not divorce them
selves from the stock yards the cougt
would do it for them"
Justice Stafford said that "to faciii-
tate future. progress 1t is considered best
10 state here that the court cannot see
its way to approve any plan for the con-
solidation of the yards whether by
holding company or otherwise" Such a
plan had been submitted by Swift ano
Armour, which companies had proposed
that the holding company be organized
by +. H., Prince & Co, Boston bankers
The Government opposed this plan.
ANY plan, to be acceptable" con
tinued Justice Stafford's opinion, mus
provide for an early and complete di
vestment by the defendants Of all the
obnoxious holdings.
IF any delay is to be allowed in tht
actual divestment under the plans tina
may be proposed. such plans must pro
vide for complete controf by the court II
the meantime OF all such stocks anC
must leave the matter in the hands o
the court in such wise that the plai
itself may be terminated at any time /
the court shall determine that the de
PENDANTS are not proceeding thereunde
with Dromptness and vigor."

BOYCOTT DECISION
Says Supreme Court Has

BLOW AT FREEDOM"
Thoroughly in Accord With
Most Ardent Wishes Of
Predatory Greed"

ST. Lotus. Jan. 4.-The decision of
the United States Supreme Court yes
terday relative to the secondary boycott
was attacked in formal statement here
tonight by Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of Labor.
who asserted the court has Joined forces
with the anti-union shop movement
The court held that labor union. or
their members are accountable under
the antitrust laws where they depart
from their normal and legitimate OBJ
jects and engage in an actual combina-
ton or conspiracy In restraint Of trade"
Mr.. Gompers's statement In full follows
"The Supreme Court, in rendering its
decision in the case OF the Duplex Print
ing Press Company versus the Inter-
national Association OF Machinists. has
Joined forces with the anti-union shop
movement. the movement TO undermine
and destroy the only organizations
which the working people have for their
protection.
THE decision of the majority JUS
tices fully justifies the statement at
trbuted by the press to Justice Bran
dies in the minority dissenting opinion
that the whole movement of thirty years
to place workers and employers on a
oasis OF eQudity peiore the law mas
been nullifed.
II have not read the whole language
of the decision. but 1 have seen suffi-
cient to say that 1t is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the most ardent wishes of
predatory greed and should be highly
satisfactory to those who exalt profits
and deny the aspirations of humanity.
"It is blow at the movement for
human freedom and progress. l can
only add that the protest of minorities
of one day have frequently been the
decisions of majorities of the next
day"
Mr.. Gompers was in St. Louis en-
route from Washington to Mexico city
to attend the Pan-American Federation
of Labor convention.

MANY CHICAGO PLANTS
NEARLY FULL HANDED

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALL
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Unemployment in
Chicago is affecting between 125,Ooo to
10000 workers in the various lines of
industry at the present time. OF thes.
about one-half are out OF jobs; the other
half are working part time. Many of
Chicago's largest industries are running
almost with full complement of help.
The agricultural implement industry.
for instance, with approximately $4,000
workers, has mad a layoff OF about z
per cent, meaning only about l,750 out
of employment The big steel mills Ia
the Calumet district and Gary, which
six months ago were employing close TO
goo. 900 men, have curtailed their force
25 per cent.
While there Is plenty of talk In the
air OF wage-cuts there has been no gen
eral reduction in any particular line
as yet.
The stock yards-Chicago's leading
industry-are running on about a NOR
NAL" working force basis. At the peak
in 1918 it was estimated that there were
55, 900 workers in packing town. The
packers cut this force about 10000
year ago following the falling off of the
export business The International Har-
vester Company. whose main plants are
located in Chicago employing 10000
hands, report no material change in
their working forces. A careful survey
shows conditions healthy in most lines,
and while there is a slump in labor there
has been no general movement in the
direction of wage cuts.
c. ]. Boyd. head of the State Free
Employment Bureau. said that while
there are many men out OF work in
Chicago, the situation as to employment
Is a good one. He believes there will be
work for all within a month or so.

20 PER CENT. WAGE CUT
PREVAILS IN INDIANA

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3.-An average cut
Of 20 to 25 per cent. in wages has been
made in Indiana. The manufacturers
for the geater part are holding firm
where cuts have been ordered and leave
the matter 10 work or not to work under
the new scales UP TO their employees
In most of tie large cities contracts have
been signed for the year where there
has been direct dealing with labor or
ganizations and little trouble is being
experienced.
A system employed by many Of the
automobile factories has been practically
to shut down and then rehire by the
graduated system, taking on a few
workers each day. dropping the highest
paid employees off the list in many cases
and sitting out the best workers. On
all sides there is a tendency to insist on
full days work for full days wages.

Matlock street, which was the subject
Of complaints a week ago, has been
thoroughly cleaned. Conditions are
very bad, the report showed, in the
corral of Harvey Bazell, and the old
Henry feed yard is not keeping its
corral clean. The street commissioner
was authorized to take drastic action
to see that sanitary conditions are as
sured by the management of the place.
