PACKERS AGAIN
SEEK STAY Of
TIME
Armour and Company. Petit
ton D. c. Court Regard
ing Sale Of Properties.

Armour and Company, one of the
packing concerns ordered by decree
of the District Supreme Court Of
February q. 1920, to dispose of
their interests in nonallied concerns
and who were recently refused an
extension of time until February, /,
1925. to sell the product and prop.
critics of these interests, unless the
Government agreed to the extension
requested have again filed IA petit
ton in the District Supreme Court
10 grant the extension applied for.
Petitioner, represented by Attor-
neys c. j. Faulkner. jr.. and Con-
rad II. Syme, says that in requiring
the firm to secure the agreement
and stipulation of the Government
for an extension of time. the court
has apparently considered it has no
right to grant petitioner request
and the latter has no right to APP
ply to the court for relief.
The Chicago concern claims that
every honest effort was made by
them to carry out the decree Of the
court and to dispose of the COM
mOdities and interests mentioned in
the order Of the court and that its
inability to do so has been &C.
casioned through no fault Of the
petitioner, but simply because the
latter has been unable to secure a
purchaser, Notwithstanding the fact
that the sale Of properties was ex-
tenSively advertised. 1t is stated
that the petitioner has disposed of
practically all commodities on hand
and also O, number Of interests it
had in manufacturing concerns
covered by the decree of the court.
The Armour concern say that the
output of the plants covered by the
decree, has been cut down to such
an extent as to meet solely the pub
lie demand.
II the operation of. these fac
tories as going concerns are dis
continued they will be rendered
valueless and the packers will
suffer a substantial loss, according
to petitioner. who states that there
are surrounding its grape juice and
fruit preserving factories con-
siderable industry of farmers and
growers Of small fruit who look
to the petitioner for the purchase
of their output and If petitioner
should shut down these factories,
the farmers and small growers
would be deprived of the benefit of
having petitioner as an outlet for
their products"
Petitioner again asks the court
to grant an extension until Feb
ruary /, 1925, to enable former to
operate its factories for the pur-
pose Of keeping them alive and to
sell the products thereof and t.
dispose of its interests as required
by the decree Of the court.
