Senate Filibusters
Set Stage for Death
of Shin Subsidy Bill

The stage was set today for the
demise of the ship subsidy bill.
A motion to send the bill back
to the Senate Commerce Commit
tee. thereby killing it. was pending
when the Senate convened. Oppo-
nents of the subsidy, after filibus-
tering doggedly against the legisla-
ton all last week, hoped to- get a
vote on this motion during the
afternoon.
Under this procedure, they feel
they can effectually defeat the bin
without voting directly on passage.
Their filibuster was conducted with
q view to preventing such a final
vote, it being generally conceded
that friends of the Administration
had enough votes to pass the bill.
Senator Jones (Rep) of Washing
ton, who has conducted the subsidy
fight in the Senate for President
Harding, was confident he could
muster enough votes to defeat the
move to recommit the bill, but his
lieutenants were not certain they
could find sufficient votes to keep
opponents of the subsidy from put.

Realizing the futility of favorable
action on the measure in its pres.

the Administration to secure adop-

which provide for preferential rates,
and other indirect assistance.
This eleventh-hour attempt To
save parts of the bill was dis
cussed today at conference between
President Harding and Albert d

Board. 1t is further understood
that Senatorial leaders, headed by

MERGER
ILLEGAL, SAYS
WALLACE
Secretary Serves Notice on
Armour and Morris
Interests.

The first move on the part Of
the United States Government to
prevent the merger of the great
Armour and Morris packing inter-
ests was taken today when Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace served
notice on both companies that the
amalgamation would be in violation
of the packers and stockyards act
because it would "stifle competi-
ton" and create a combination in
restraint of trade
Wallace said he had learned that
the Armour and Morris companies
had entered into a tentative agree
ment to combine their properties,
but that the merger is not formally
contaminated. He held that the
merger of these companies would be
a possible step to the amalgamation
of all the so-called big five pack
ers."
The consideration of the purchase
of the Morris interest by Armour
was given at $4,000, 900 in cash,
SO 100000 in preferred stock and
SIC, 100000 in common stock of
Armour & Co. of Illinois and Della
ware.
Calls Hearing April 2.
Wallace will hold a hearing hero
on April to review the evidence
against the proposed combine and to
hear the case of the packers.
At the conclusion of this hearing,
If the evidence warrants, he has au-
thority under the law to issue an
order against the Armour and Morris
companies to cease and desist" in
the merger project. The packers
would then have the right to appeal
from Wallace's decision to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
A fine of from $500 to $4,000 for
each days violation of the order and
imprisonment up to five years is pro.
vided after final decision of the Fed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. %.
The creeks and sewers of the con-
