CWAHY ISSUES 4 DENIAL

Chicago, Sept. 15.-In the absence
of ]. ogden Armour, of Armour and
company, and Thomas E. Wilson,
president of Wilson and company, who
were in the east, no official state
ment on published reports of pro-
posed meat packing merger was OBJ
tainable here today. Mr.. Armour and
Mr.. Wilson went together to New
York on Wednesday. Mr.. Wilson. It
was said here, was expected to be in
Washington today.
Reports published here were that
proposals had been made for a mer-
ger of Armour and company and Will
son and company possibly to include
the Cudahy Packing company and
Morris company.
E. A. Cudahy. president of the
Cudahy. company on behalf of his
volved in a merger proposal. 1--WE
are not interested in a proposed mer
ger" Mr.. Cudahy said, 1--WE are not
doing any negotiating"
Mr.. Cudahy said he had no knowl-
edge OF what the other packing COM
panies were doing.
Nearing Consummation
The much discussed merger between
the great meat interests of Armour
&c Company and Wilson & Company
was again reported to be nearing
consummation today. The merger, if
effected, would represent a combined
valuation of s417, 100000.
The fact that J. Ogden Armour,
head of the Armour interests, and
Thomas w. Wilson, president of Will
son & Company, were in New York
City, lent credence to the reports.
The publicity department of Armour
& Company issued a statement saying
that officers of the company knew
nothing of the reported merger.

Three Floors To Be Added to
the Mills Building.
Work to Cost $15O,00O VIII Be-
gin Soon, Owners Say.
AVENUE Is GROWING SOUTH
Demand for Office Space Neces-
states the Addition.
Construction of Hotel Kansan
Improves Corner.

In an effort to meet increased de-
mands for office space in the district
plans are being prepared for a two
and possibly three-story addition to
the Mills building, Ninth and Kansas
avenue. 1t is likely that three stories
will be added, altho definite decision
has not been reached. Work will
begin soon.
The entire addition viii be devoted
to office space. The building which
is now the home of the Pelletier's
Stores company is seven stories above
basement. The Penetier's company
occupies six of the eight floors in
Guiding basement. Two upper floors
are devoted to offices.
Recently there has been heavy
demand for office space in the dis
trict. The Mills Building company,
which owns the structure. has for
some time considered an addition to
the present building. i
Avenue Moves South.
When erected twelve years ago the
Mills building was given footings suf-
ficient to carry ten stories above base
ment. At that time, tho, the struc-
ture was outside the beaten retail
office building zone. The new Santa
Fe office building, Memorial hall, the
million dollar Masonic temple and
other activities in the district have
since given the building a central
location.
With consideration for future as
well as immediate demands for office
space it is declared probable that
owners of the building will arrange
for construction of three additional
floors, giving the corner a ten story
structure above the basement. The
Improvement will cost $125,00O to
$780, 600, it was announced by the
owners today.

northeast corner of Ninth and Kansas.
Work on the new hotel project is al
ready under way and it is proposed to
open the 300-room hotel to the pub
lie August !. next year. The Mills
building is on the southwest corner OF
the intersection.
Officers of the Mills Building COM
pany today asserted that final decision
had been reached regarding their plan
to add to their present building. Con-
tracts for the work will be let as soon
as plans are completed.
1t is probable that the new space
will provide forty to sixty new office
suites. The present style of architec-
ture will be followed in construction
of the addition.

SPEED UP INJUNCTION CASE

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Refusal by
number of the country's biggest rail-
way systems to enter into the War
field Willard Jewell plan for ending
the shopmen's strike on the basis of
separate and individual agreements,
developed an element OF considerable
uncertainty today over the scope and
effectiveness of the peace program.
While some of the larger systems had
flatly rejected the pan. others, notab-
ly the Chicago and Northwestern and
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
had virtually completed arrangements
for restoring strikers to their former
jobs.
Negotiations were in progress with
several roads in an effort by shop
craft system federation officials to ef-
feet additional settlements. Strike
leaders were said to be intent upon
addressing communications to some of
the unwilling roadsasking them to re-
consider their reflections.
Hooper Promises Support

any issues on which the strike was
based was promised by Ben W.
Hooper, chairman, who asserted the
settlement plan was in strict conform
ity with the transportation. act.

Should the federal injunction

Attorney General Harry M. Daugher-

ties or interstate commerce.
1T has been long time since the
decision in the Debs case" the attor-
ney general said. "That was the out
standing case that involves these ques-
tions. And aside from the changes
and extensions that naturally come in
the law and the construction of the
law in the development of the times,
there is very little new in the case.
Anything that would have been held
to be a violation of the law construed
in connection with the restraining or
der in the Debs case, these same facts
being shown. would be construed to
be a violation of the order in this case,
and there is nothing in this case that
would be held violation of the re-
