ON HUGE MERGER

Conference on Proposition Join

Washington, Nov. 14.-J Ogden
Armour, head Of the Armour pack
ing interests, conferred at length
today with President Harding re-
garding proposed merger of Ar
mour interests with Morris and
company
Armour refused to discuss the ma
ture of his conference with the
president, saying he had presented
to him the same information he had
laid before Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace.
Wallace is expected to ask the
department of justice and the fed
eral trade commission for opinions
as to whether the proposed merger
will be legal under existing laws.
The opinion prevailed today that
if it were shown that the merger
would in any way restrain COM
merce it would not have the ap-
proval of the federal government.
A final decision must be made by
Secretary Wallace, in charge of the
administration of the packers and

pected he will act before month.
Rumors were current that If the
Armour-Morris merger were ap-
proved, combine of all the big
companies would be sought by the

is expected from progressives in

London, Nov. 16.-Premier Bonar
Law appears to have won the major
ity of parliamentary seats his gov
ernment requires, but the results of
the British general elections are
turning out to be much closer than
was expected.
The Conservatives, supporting the
premier, were well in the lead on a
showing Of votes counted at noon
today, despite the Labor party's
great inroads into normally Conser-
vative territories. 1t was still doubt
full this afternoon, however, if Bon
ar Law had obtained more than a
bare majority.
The latest standing, reported at
noon, was:
Conservatives, 161.
Labor, So.
Asquith Liberals, 26.
Lloyd Georgians, %.
Independents, 5.
Total, 2S6.
There remained results from 329
constituencies to be heard from.
On the above standing, the Con-
servatiyes had gained thirteen seats
and lost thirty-two; Labor gained
thirty-eight and lost six; supporters
of Asquith had gained thirteen and
lost five; Lloyd Georgians had
gained three and lost twenty-five;
while the Independents had gained
seven and lost six.
Lady Astor, former Virginia
beauty, was. reelected by a plural
ity Of 5000 over her Labor oppon-
ent, Captain Brennan with the Lib

Premier Bonar Law was elected;
Lloyd George was returned unop-
posed; ]. H. Thomas, Labor leader,
was lin" by big majority.
A tremendous vote was polled
throughout the British Isles, despite
inclement weather, in many districts
and women outnumbered men at the
polls. Of the 33 women candidates,
however, Lady Astor was the only
one known to be elected up to noon.

tired in her favor, was beaten in

BONAR LAW ROMPS TO
AN APPARENT VICTORY
Lloyd George Candidates Running a
Poor Fourth; Laborltes and Lib
erals Both Show Better Form;
independents Last.

London. Nov. Former Premier
Lloyd George has been defeated In
his effort to win a balance of power
IN the next House OF Commons. on
the face OF incomplete returns this
afternoon.
A count announced at l p. m.
showed the Conservative candidates
Of Premier Bonar Law with clear
majority over all other parties and
the Conservatives were gaining at
that time. having won nine addi-
tional seats since the noon results
were posted.
Lloyd Georges candidates were a
bad fourth in the running. but this
did not affect the results from his
point OF view. so much as the fact
that Bonar Law appeared likely to
secure working majority and
hence Lloyd Georges handful in the
Louse would not be sufficient to
overthrow the government.
With 5i4 returns in. the standing
was as follows:
Conservatives, 30S.
Asquith Liberals, AZ.
Labor, ia.
Lloyd Georgians, S3.
Independents, II.
The new house will be composed
OF Gl5 members, so there remains
room for considerable change in
one direction or another.
Labor's strong fight, making It
probable that the party will be the
main opposition group in the next
house, has been u feature of the
election. Arthur Henderson, how
ever, was defeated.
Lloyd George, Asquith, Donar Law
and Clynes, leaders of the four par
ties, were all elected, the first
named being unopposed.
Two women, ady Astor and Mrs.
Wlntringham, members of the last
parliament, were reelected but
most of the 81 others who stood for
