Modified.

sociated Press)-Attacking the gov
ernment's recent injunction against
the great meat packers as "a highly
disastrous economic mistake and
wholly unfounded in law or fact" the
California cooperative cannc.ies of
San Francisco today asked the district
supreme court to vacate the decree for
radically modify it.
Sensational charges that former
Attorney General Palmer misused
grand jury processes to obtain infor-
nation for use in getting the injunc-
tion and was influenced by the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' association
and the Southern Wholesale Grocers'
association to obtain it and thereby
placed monopoly of foodstuff dis
trtbution in their hands, the petition
charges.
BY eliminating the packers as dis
tributors of groceries, fruits and 9th
es foodstuffs, the petition says, the
grocers were enabled to place ''retail-
ers and consumers at their mercy and
thus arbitrarily and artificially keen
up the price of food"
Meanwhile, the petition alleges
the grocers have carried on .'boycotts
reprisals and threats of coercion
against any who sought to have the
injunction dismissed or modified"
