|MOD|F |CAT|ON ASKED.
| Of PACKERS DECREE.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Attack-
ing the governments recent injunc-
ton against the great meat packers
as "a highly disastrous economic
mistake and wholly unfounded in
law or fact" the California cooper
alive canneries, of San Francisco,
have asked the district supreme
court to vacate the decree or radical
1y modify it.
Sensational charges that former
Attorney General Palmer misused
grand jury processes to obtain in
formation for use in getting the in
junction and was influenced by the
National Wholesale Grocers' associa-
ton and the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association to obtain and
thereby place a monopoly on food
stuffs distribution in their hands, are
made in the petition.
BY eliminating the packers as dis
tributors of groceries, fruits and 9TH
er foodstuffs, the petition says, the
grocers are enabled to place ere
tailers and consumers at their mer-
cy and thus arbitrary and artificial
ly keep up the price Of food.
Meanwhile" the petition alleges,
the grocers have carried on "boy-
colts, reprisals and threats of CO.
ercion," against any who sought
to have the injunction dismissed or
modified.
The petition filed by Frank J..
Hogan, of this city, as attorney
for the California canneries, asks
that if the injunction be not dis
missedI it be modified to permit the
packers to restore to the producers
Of foodstuffs their facilities of dis
tribution, on commission basis
or Gin some other sufficient way"
The California canneries allege
that before the injunction was is
sued on February 81; 1920, against
Swift, Armour, Morris, Wilson, Cud-
ahy and others, they had, as a CO.
operative organization of fruit grow
ers, an annual business Of four mil
lion dollars and contract with Ar
mour & Co., which has been entirely
destroyed by the injunction.
The Southern Wholesale Grocers'
association, the petition points out,
had previously been convicted of vio-
lating the antitrust laws, and it's
officers had been held guilty of can
tempt of a federal restraining in
junction. the petition says, the
grocers' association in addition to
making 4 ''boycotts, reprisals and
threats of coercion" against those
who seek to have the injunction
modified, feels free "to terrorize and
coerce both those Of whom they
buy and those to whom they SELL
and to dictate the course Of conduct
of each and to enforce the same by
their own methods"

New York.-The East Side, still
quivering with excitement from gun
play in Chinatown, was stirred again
when an automobile carrying four
men burst into a crowd Of clothing
strikers gathered in front of Beetho-

fire and dashed away, leaving eight
men wounded.
Police decided that the shooting oc-
Cured in connection with a bootleg
gers feud and that the wounded had
been dropped when they attempted to
stop the car fleeing from an attempt
ed murder around the corner.
Communicating automobiles, police
gave pursuit, but lost the gunmens

five men, was picked up later, how
ever, and the quintette was taken
with another witness to headquar-
ters for questioning. Reports re-
ceived from Bellevue Hospital indi-
Gated three Of the wounded might die
The affray started at Second Ave-
nue. and Fortieth Street, where Joseph
Nasseri was standing in front Of his
home. He, according to the police,
was out on bail in connection with
a Staying about two months ago.
Suddenly big blue car, carrying
four men, appeared. According to the
police theory, this quartette was bent
on revenge. Three of the arrivals be-
gan walking toward Nasseri. The car
proceeded slowly ahead. AS the trio
approached Nasseri they opened fire.

Five more saots. Nasseri had
dropped to his~ knees. Five more
holes appeared in his hat.
Then a volley, but Nasseri had run
upstairs. Detectives found him seat
ed on his bed. He followed them for
further questioning. But the volley
had taken it's toll among the by
ISLANDERS. Two men, identified later
as strikers, dropped seriously injured.
More bullets, crashing through the
window Of a women's shop, lodged in
two dummies.
The three gunner ran to rejoin
their comrade. The car leaped ahead
and turned into Fifth Street. Ahead
of 1t was massed 400 strikers. Some
attempted to halt the car.
Another volley of shots To right
and left men dropped. The crowd
drew back for moment and the car
dashed away. During the pursuit one
