government will take no action at
this time on the proposed acquisi-
tion of Morris and company's phys
ical assets by Armour and COM
pany of Chicago. it was formally an
nounced today by the Secretary Of
Agriculture. This decision was
reached by Secretary Wallace after
long study of the proposal and con-
ferences with President Harding
and Attorney General Daugherty.
There was no indication in Wash
ington whether Armour and com
pany would proceed with their ne
gotiations for the Morris establish
ment, which is competitor and one
of the "big five" packing establish
ments.
Secretary Wallace declared there
appeared to be no occasion for ae-
ton at this time, under the packers
and stockyards act, which he adj
ministers, in connection with the
proposal informally laid before him
by j. Ogden Armour Mr.. Wallace
also transmitted this information
and additional data on the proposal
to the Senate in response to a reso-
luton of Senator Laf'ollette, repub-
liean, Wisconsin.

informal announcement. Mr.. Wal
lace declared there was nothing in
the packers and stockyards act
which specifically prohibit the pur-
chase by ono packer of the physical
assets Of another. An opinion by
Attorney General Daugherty said the
act Is essentially a regulatory one
and that the duties and powers OF
the Secretary OF Agriculture there
under are TO regulate the Industry.
The Attorney General declared
neither the act itself nor the regula-
ton provided for therein contem-
plates or requires that the Secretary
of Agriculture should advise the In
dustry in regard 10 such trans
action as proposed by Mr.. Armour in
advance of its contamination. Mr..
DduButTly Hdiu the act NtbLeu MI.
Wallace with broad powers OF in
quiry and he was of the opinion Mr..
Wallace might make such inquiry.
The language of the packers and
stockyards act" said MIR, Daugherty,
makes II clear to me that the act
does not require you to take any
formal action unless you have reason
to believe that the law has been
violated or is being violated. To
constitute violation of the law
within the meaning of this act. there
must be something more than mere
statement of what a person or cor
poration contemplates."
Citing a decision of the supreme
court involving the act Mr.. Daugh-
erty quoted from Chief Justice Taft
as follows
Its provisions are carefully drawn
to apply only to those practices and
obstruction which in the judg-
ment OF Congress are likely to affect
interstate commerce prejudiciaily."
Armour's Proposal
MIR. J. Ogden Armour came here
and stated In an Informal way that
his firm had under consideration a
proposal to purchase the physical
assets OF the packing plants owned
and operated by Morris and COM
pany," Secretary Wallace said In his
informal statement. The full de-
tails Of the purchase would be paid

Electricity and bullets.

At a rife meeting In Switzerland Il
was discovered that the steel ackete6
bullets Of the marksinen were swerved
from their course by the influence oe
telegraph and telephone wires running
alongside the range, says the Washing
ton Star. Experiments were then
made at ThuD by placing four steel
cables parallel with the range ana
about 40 yards distant from II ana
sending current OF 5000 volts
through them. The effect, II is said,
was TO turn the bullets 80 far from
their course that the deviation
amounted TO "a yards on a range OF
260 yards. The bullets on being taken
from the targets were found to bs
magnetlzed. Next, on an artillery
range OF 5000 yards, the electrO-mag-
netlc influence was generated 200
yards In front OF the targets and 20
yards TO one side. The projectiles
were sweryed IA degrees from .
