CHICAGO HEARS OTHER
PACKERS MAY MERGE
Armour Possibly May Absorb
Wilson Plant.

Special Dispatch to The New York HERALD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The Armour-Mor-
ris packing merger, which is said to
lack only the approval Of the Federal
Trade Commission, may be followed by
assimilation of the Wilson g. Co. In
terests, deal believed yesterday to
have been abandoned.
j. Ogden Armour, head Of Armour
Il Co.. Is trying to acquire the Morris d
Co. business. IL Is said, as means OF
getting Nelson and Edward Morris
principal objectors to the Arnour-Wil-
son merger out OF the way. Under the
terms of trade agreement II is impos-
sible for one of the big Five TO absorb
another without the consent OF the re-
naming three. Once Norris & Co. has
been absorbed Armour & CO. may pro-
ceed to acquire Wilson & Co, It Is re-
ported thus achieving unmistakable
predominence in the meat packing in
| dustry.
The Armour Morris deal still depends
| upon the attitude OF the Federal authori-
| ties and will not be definitely settled
| one way or the other, until Washington
has spoken. A report in Chicago to the
effect that Swift & Co. was TO purchase
Cudahy & Co. did not appear TO have
the same basis of truth as the proposeC
merger Of Armour and Morris.
II don't know of Swift & Co. con
templating any such deal" said Henr.
Veeder. general counsel for Swift Co.
| "if such move was on ] would know o
it,"
A consolidation of Armour &c Co, Nor
ris & Co. and Thomas E. Wilson & CO
would constitute a corporation with tota
assets of S674, 40, and capital o
s221O32,000. A Swift and Cudahy mer
ger would produce assets of S423,605,eS
and capital OF 73,s00.000.

lv Is first noted The total for the

from the preceding week. over the
same week OF last year there was an
increase Of 1881 cars and a gain of
1922 cars over the corresponding week
OF 1890.
The only item which showed a gain

Head of Firm Submits PrOpO-
sal to Daugherty and Wal
lace for Approval.
DETAILS NOT DISCLOSED
Secretary Says He Withheld
Opinion on Absorption Of
Another Concern.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Id. Ogden
sented to-day to -ittorney-General
Daugherty and Secretary Wallace Of
the Department of Agriculture. pre-
sumably for Government approval, a
proposal for purchasing the physical
assets of another Of the big Five"
packing houses.
What concern the Armour organiza-
tion purposes 10 absorb was not dis
closed although Wilson & Co. and Nor
ris x Co. have been mentioned.
Secretary Wallace, after his confer
ence with Mr.. Armour and several asso-
ciates who accompanied him to Wash
ington, issued a statement saying he
had expressed no opinion on the plan.
IT was indicated Mr.. Daugherty had
likewise withheld decision. although
promising immediate consideration OF
the proposal.
Secretary Wallace issued the follow
ing statement In response to repeated
inquiries regarding his conference with
Mr. Armour:
MIR. Armour and two members of his
staff were here this morning and in
formally advised the Secretary that
they were considering the matter of
purchasing the physical assets of
another packing plant. The Secretary
expressed no opinion concerning the
proposed transaction, but will, Of
course, give(it the fullest consideration
at the earliest possible date.
Under the packers and stockyards
act it is unlawful for any packer to
engage in any course of business or
do any act for the purpose or with
the effect of manipulating or controlling
| prices In commerce or of creating a
monopoly in the acquisition Of buying
selling or dealing In any article of
| commerce, or Of restraining commerce.
! Section of the Federal trade COM
mission act provides that the commission
! shall also have power to gather and
compile information concerning, and to
! investigate from time to time, the or
ganization, business, conduct practices
| and management of any corporation en-
! gagged In commerce. excepting banks and
| common carriers subject to the act to
| regulate commerce. and its relation to
| other corporations and to individuals, as>
sociations and partnerships This part
! of the Federal trade commission act is
by reference made part of section 400
of the packers and stockyards act.
The Secretary has not expressed an
! opinion as to whether the buying out of
one packing concern by another would
| be in contravention of the packers and
stockyards act. He will not express an
opinion or talk for publication on this
matter until he has had an opportunity
| to go into it thoroughly"
| Somewhat similar approaches have
been made to the Government recently
by heads of Independent steel corpora
tons contemplating merger, but Mr..
Wallace indicated the packing industry,
because of special legislation providing
| for its regulation by the Federal Gov
ernment stood in a different position.
