Automobile Accident
On Water Street

Augusta, Maine. Nov. 15.-What
came near being very serious acct
dent occurred opposite the store of
Weber & Hewett on Water street,
Wednesday morning. A Massachu-
sets car was coming down Win
throp Hill and it was said, the road
being slippery during the heavy
rain, that the brakes did not hold
properly and the car. after gaining
considerable momentum attempted to
make the turn on Water street, and
in so doing damaged three other cars.
This is a good example of the neces-
sity Of automobile liability insur-
apce, and no matter how careful the
driver may be, accidents are bound
to happen. The agency of Charles
E. Downing makes a speciality of
this class of insurance and their
claims are adjusted and paid prompt

ARMOUR co. SEEKS
RIGHT TO ABSORB
PACKING Group

washington. Nov. 15.-I Ogden Ar
mour. head of the Chicago meat pack
ing house of Armour & Co., presented
today to Attorney General Daugherty
and Secretary Wallace of the DEPART
ment Of agriculture, presumably for
government approval. a proposal for
merging, through purchase, the physi-
cal assets Of another of the dig FIVE"
national packing houses with Armour
& Co. Which of the concerns the Ar
mour organization proposes to absorb
was not disclosed. although both Will
son & Co and Morris e. Co. of the
packing group have been mentioned
IN connection with the plan. Officials
concerned refrained entirely from ex-
pressing comment or opinion in the
matter.
Mr.. Armour tonight likewise declined
TO make any statement except that he
intended to remain in Washington Tor
another day. 1t was assumed that
desire to determine the legality of
such a merger, in advance of taking
any steps to complete it. had led to the
consultation with officials
Secretary Wallace, after his confer
ence with Armour and several asso-
ciates who accompanied him to Wash
ington, issued a statement saying lie
had expressed no opinion upon the Ar
mour plan, and it was indicated that
Attorney General Daugherty had like
wise withheld decision, although i'm
mediate consideration was promised
for It.
Somewhat similar approaches have
been made to the government recently
by heads Of Independent steel corpor-
atoms contemplating merger, but Mr.
Wallace's statement indicated that the
packing industry. because Of the ex-
istence of special legislation providing
for its specific regulation by the fed
eral government. stood in different
position.
Secretary Wallace quoted from the
recent packers and stock yard act, es-
tablishinC this particular control, in
pointing out that packers were forbid
den to engage in any business practice
creating a monopoly or fixing prices
while the Federal Trade Commission
had been given authority to investi-
gate their operations at any time.
The legislation further gives the
secretary power to supervise the BUSH
ness at all Of it's points of contact
with either the producer or consumer
and to correct unfair practices.
There is said to have been consider
able discussion within the industry
since the passage of these laws. after
long period of agitation backed by
farm organizations. developing the
suggestion that consultations among
the big five" might be advantageous
in business way and at the same time
open to no public objection. Negotia-
tons were understood to have reached
the stage where officials Of national
farm organizations have been asked
to say whether such consultations,
considering the degree Of government
control already in the field, would be
regarded as hostile by other compoa-
ents Of the livestock industry.
