Upheld by Court.

Washington, Jan, 4.-Governmen,
objections to stock yard holdings d.
vorcement plans, submitted by the
big packers under the recent agreed
decree, were sustained today by
Justice Stafford in the district ST.
preme court. Any acceptable plan
must provide for early and COM
plcte divestment of all obnoxious
holdings, the court held.
Justice Stafford also sustained the
governments contention that the de-
cree of enforcement may be made
effective by receivershir and sale.
Unless the defendants are able to
present suitable plan for which
time extensions were allowed the
court served notice that such action
would be taken.
Court May Act.
If any delay is to be allowed in
the actual Investment under any new
plan, the court said, it must provide
for complete control by the court in
the meantime, so that the court
might terminated it at anytime if it
should determine the packers were
not proceeding with promptness and
vigor.
An extension of six months was
granted in the case of Crescent City
stock yards owing to the peculiar
circumstances existing there.
The other defendants were al
lowed extensions to be agreed on.
Should they fail to propose a plan
conforming to the requirements stat
ed by the court, Justice Stafford said
he. would feel obliged to appoint off,
GERS to take title, to all stock in
question and to hold it subject to
court order until suitable arrange
nlcnts were made to dispose OF it in
accordance with the terms and pur-
poses of the decree.
Justice Stafford also informed the
.defeadaats that the court could nei
see its way in considering plans
to be submitted. ito approve any
plan for consolidation Of the yards.
whether by holding company or
otherwise"
Swift and Armour had proposed
organization of a holding company
which would take over the stock
yard properties and lease them to an
operating company for a period of
years. F. H., Prince & Co., Boston,
bankers, was to organize the holding
company, but the government OBJ.
jected to this plan. arguing that the
relations between that company and
tie packers were such that there
would not be a Investment of the
property within the meaning of the
courts order.
The government made a counter
proposal that the properties be taken
over by the court, trustees appointed
and a sale ordered.
