 Sensational charges that former AttoT- ney General Palmer misused grand jury processes to obtain information for use in getting the injunction, and was infu- enced by the National Wholesale Gro cers' association and the Southern Whole sale Grocers' association to obtain it, and thereby placed a monopoly of foodstuxs distribution in their handsi are made in the petition.
 By eliminating the packers as distrib- utors of groceries fruits and other food stuffs, the petition says the grocers were enabled to place "retailers and consum- CTS at their mercy and thus arbitrarily and artifcially keen up the price of food" Meanwhile, the petition alleges l the grocers have carried on 'boycotts, 1 reprisa]s and threats of coercion against any who sought to have the injunction dismissed or modified.
 The petition. filed by Frank J. Hogan 1 of this city as attorney for the Califor- | mia Canneries, asks that if the injunction | be not dismissed 1t be modified to permi.
 the packers to restore to the producers oi foodstuffs their facilities of distribution
