WALLACE JARS THE
PACKERS MERGER
Is q Violation of the Federal Packer
Act, Says the Secretary
Of Agriculture.

Washington. ID. C.-Another battle
was begun BY the government against
what il claims would be a monopoly
in industry, when Secretary Wallace
of the agricultural department, TOOK
steps TO prevent Armour & Co. from
acquiring the business of Morris q
Co.
Contamination OF the consolidation
would result in the largest meat pack
ing enterprise in the history OF the
country with annual sales of more
than 81, 200, 100000.
+. Edison White, president o.
Armour 4 Co, declaring the present
administration had proclaimed its be-
lief in less government in business
and more business in government
said that his company heartily sub
scribed TO that slogan and was WILLING
TO meet the issue involved speedily
and without fear of the result.
Before legality of the merger is
finally decided, several months is eX
pected TO elapse end in all probability
the case will reach the supreme court
for determination.
Secretary Wallace. proceeding un-
der authority given him in the pack
ers and stock yards act, served COM
plants on Armour a. Co, j. Ogden
Armour and Morris & Co, charging
them with violation of the act, by
entering into a written agreement for
the sale of Morris Il CO. The COM
plants said the transfer was to be
made on or before February %, and
that Morris & Co. would be eliminat-
ed entirely as a competitor in the
packing business. The acquisition, the
complaint set forth, would effect a
restraint Of interstate commerce and
would have the effect of creating a
monopoly in many sections of the
United States, in the purchase Of
live stock and in the shipment and
sale of meat and other live stock
products in this country and abroad.
The merger would materially increase
the power of Armour & Co., it was
stated, to control and dominate the
industry.
A hearing was set for Monday,
April 2, in Washington, before the
secretary Of agriculture. at which the
packing companies specified will be
required to show cause why an order
should not be issued against the ON
s%olidation. Such an order would be
subject to appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals at
Chicago within 80 days. Decree of that
Jul would be final except for re-
view by the supreme court.

DEADLY GAS FUMES
KILL SIX PERSONS
THREE GENERATIONS OF ONE
CHICAGO FAMILY FOUND
LIFELESS IN A FLAT.

Chicago.-SiX p~ersons-three gener
atoms OF one family-were killed
when a deadly gas. used in Kidding 3
first floor restaurant of reaches
seeped through a forgotten opening il
old walls up 10 the second floor flat
A dozen other persons probably are
alive only because they slept with
windows open, for the fumes were SC
penetrating that canaries and gold
fish in neighboring flats, even as high
as the third floor succumbed.
The dead are:
William Kratzenberg. 50, wealthy
retired wagon maker, and head of the
family living at 1926 East Ninety
second street. South Chicago.
Mary K~ratzenberg, 60, his wife.
John Kratzenberg, 81. their son
Mrs. Laura Szymanski, 3S, daughter
of the Kratzenbergs.
Henry Szymanski. So, her husband.
Harold, their 15-year-old son.
The %fumigation was under direction
of o. ". Hall, formerly an inmate OF
Dunning and OF the p~sychopathic hos
pital, who. in pamphlets left on all
doorsteps, termed himself the
manager of the National Hygienic cor
poration, of Buffalo. He vas held by
the South Chicago police, who term
his work a clear case OF criminal
negligence. To his statement that
the gas was nonpoisonous, physicians
replied that il was probably the most
deadly gaseous substance known aside
from the fumes turned loose in Fland-
ers by Germany during the war.
The position of the bodies indicat-
ed that the gas in some instances had
ended life while the victim still slept
but in others had chOked off a futile
effort TO reach the relief that only
fresh air could bring.
Mrs. ~Kratzenberg. already nea
death from pneumonia, died in her
bed beside her husband. but the
sprawling position OF their %son-in-lav,
Henry. under a kitchen table with his
hand stretched toward the window
told a story of a struggle which end
ed one step short OF the fresh air
which might have kept him alive.
Mrs. Szymanski's body was found
in the bathroom IL seemed that the
gas had awakened her. made her sick
at her stomach, but that she had been
unable TO walk further. Her boy,
Harold. had slept into death in his
bed. The others also were found in
their beds.

LAND IN ALASKA is SET
ASIDE As OIL RESERVE
5000 Square Miles Will be Utilized
to Secure Fuel for the
Y. S. Navy.

Washington, ID. C.-President Hard.
ing. by executive order. set aside an
r of more than $1,000 square miles
in the northwest section of Alaska as
an oil reserve, to insure fuel for the
navy. This naval reserve will exceed
by 20, 900 900 acres the combined area
os the three other naval reserves, one
which is less than 1000, 900 acres. The

Coleville river on the south and east.
II is, for the most part, flat grassy
tundra, devoid of vegetation, sparsely
populated and entirely within the
Arctic circle.
Petroleum possibilities in this sec
ZION have attracted private investiga,
ton, and about $4,000 acres have
been allotted to some so applicants
for private development. No drilling
has been done.
In case exploration should show the
land worth developing. Mr.. Fall said,
it will be necessary either to erect
huge storage tanks on the land to
hold the oil until vessels could take
it away during the three or four
months in which the sea in that
region is free from ice, or pipe it
several miles to Fort Hamlin, on the
Yukon, or to Fairbanks, on the
Alaska railroad.
While the section reserved in.
cludes the SO grants mentioned, pro.
visions of the reservation do not in.
clude privately owned land, which is
only a small part OF the area. The
lands set aside Tor naval purpose is
to be reserved for a period of six
years for classification, examination
and proportion of plans for develop
ment until otherwise ordered by
congress or the president.
The reserve section was bounded in
the executive order as follows:
by a line running true south from
Icy cape, on the northwest extremity
of Alaska at approximately latitude
20 degrees, Fl minutes, longitude 161
degrees, 46 minutes, to the crest of g
range of mountains forming the
watershed between the Noatak river
and it's northern tributariey and the
streams flowing into the Arctic
ocean; then east along this crest to g
mountain peak at approximately lati
tude 81 degrees, so minutes, longitude
1876 degrees, 8 minutes, then true
north to the highest water mark or
the western bank of the Colville river
following down stream to the sea
coast; thence westward to point o.
beginning. The outer coast line o.
islands and sandpits forming a coasta
barrier are to be the sea boundaries
and the Plover islands, which are out
side the three-mile limit, also are in
cluded."
The reservation established is fol
oil and gas only, and will not inter
fere with other use Of lands OF
waters within the area.
