BIG MERGER OF
PACKING HOUSES
FOUND IN ORDER
Jardine Dismisses Com
plant Against Two
Companies
NO LAW VIOLATION
Action Follows Confer
ence With President
! Coolidge

/ WASHINGTON. Sept. lt-secre
tary Of Agriculture Jardine today
announced he had dismissed the
complaint against the merger Of the
mammoth Armour Meat Packing
interests with Morris and company
another Of the big five packing com
panies.
The complaint was made in Feb
rnary. 1923, by secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace under the packers
snd stockyards act and it charged
that the Armour company, by its
$50. 10000 purchase of the Morris
company. constituted a restrain of
interstate commerce and tended to
create a monopoly.
The secretary of agriculture adj
ministers this law ana has power
to annul the merger through a
:ceasc and dcsist'' Order if he had
found it proper TO do so.
.ardine's announcement this aft
crnoon followed Il conference with
President Coolidge at the white
house at which this question was
thoroughly gone over.
> =. Sees. No Law Violation
Secretary Jardine held that ac-
quisition by Armour and company
Of the physical properties, business
anI good will of Morris and COM
raay, does not in itself constitute
a violation of the law, which pro-
vides against manipulating or con-
trolling prices, creating monopoly
or restraining commerce.
With the dismissal, which was
without prejudice, Jardne warned.
:" In the event. that Armour and
company violate any of the provis-
ions of the packers and stock yards
act. there is ample power and author
ity in the secretary of agriculture $
hands under that act to take ap-
propriate and effective action.
Jardine ruled that neither the
purpose or the effect of the merger
was price fixing, monopoly or unrea-
sonable restrain Of trade. He held
that the evidence shows that the
transaction was consummatcd in
Or',er TO rednce overhead expenses.
and TO increase the slacs of the
unfinished, products.
Tile packer: merger case has been
before three secretaries of agricul-
turo-Wallace. Gore and Jardine.
'"After careful consideration of
the entire records and the argu-
ments of counsel. Jardine said,
81 find and conclude that the evil
dcnce is insufficient to sustain the
charges maintained in the complaint
and therefore this proceeding is dis
missed without prejudice.

Big Battle Booms
The Mitchell battle over the
problem of responsibility for recent
aviation accidents. which Mitchell
lays at the door of army and navy
departments, probably will be con
tinued Guerilla warfare of vitriolic
statements at least until congress
meets III December.
Friends of Mitchell and some dis
interested parties will push for a
congressional investigation to sup
plcment or compete with the presi-
dent S own inquiry.
Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics of
the navy, today declared that
charges such as Mitchell $ have
''dune more to retard aviation and
hamper national defense than could
have been done by any other
means.

unified, separate air service, entirely
Independent of the army and navy,

Several of the board members are
