Declaring that the consent decree of

packing organizations agreed TO drop

sets up an artificial discrimination be-
tween competitors by forbiddine the de-
PENDANTS to 60 what sll others are al
lowed to DO and is contrary TO the pub
lie interest by preventing the packers
from making fun use Of their distribut-
ing facilities, Armour e. Co.. and Swift
d Co. today asked the District Supreme
Court to modify the decree.
Through Attorneys Charles A. Doug
las. Henry Veeder, Nelson T. Harrison
and Frank j. Hogan the two packing
concerns point out that the decree was
signed without trial and expressly
denies any violation of law or con-
templated violation on the part of the
packers. They tell the court that recent
fundamental changes in methods of
marketing make the restrictions i'm
posed by tfe decree unnecessary. So
many orgsniza tons. including chain
food stores, have developed TO such a
point. the packers contend. that any
monopoly or restraint of trade IA wholly
impossible.
Decree Held Unjust.

The count is told that since the sign
ing Of the decree chain food stores have
grown from comparatively small be-
ginnings In 1919 to / .060 chains. with
10000 stores and sales exceeding

Stockyafd Act Is Cited.
Particular reference is made In the
petition to the packers and stockyard
act which Congress passed in 1921
after the decree had been entered This
gives the Secretary OF Agriculture juris-
diction over the business of packers and
stockyards, with an adequate per-

diplomatic circles here as the only hope
of averting a collapse of the conference
at The Hague. considering the Young
plan for final settlement Of the Ger
man reparations question.
Joseph P. Cotton. the Acting Secre-
tary Of state, said that the United
States IA DESTROYS of seeing some final
settlement Of the reparatioris question
evolved by the powers. The American
Government. however. does not neces-
sarily support the Young plan. he
sdded, or any other form of settlement
In preference to another.
He emphasized that the attitude of
the United States Is one of complete
indifference as to the method of set
Element of the problem since the Aneri-
can Government has completely dis
associated itself from the whole ques
ton!
British Threat Held Serious.
Officials of the State Department de-
clined to comment on the reports of the
threatened British withdrawal from the
conference But the likelihood of this
action was viewed as serious by well
informed circles and hopes were ex-
pressed that Premier Macdonald would
intervene to effect a compromise on the
position taken BY Philip Snowden. the
British chancellor Of the exchequer.
Acting Secretary Cotton said that the
question OF American moral support for
the British position at The Hague as
expounded by Mr.. Snowden has not vet
come up and he indicated his belief
that the American Government would
not be called upon for such q decision.
There is also no indication. he added,
that the American Government would
be put in the position of repudiating
the American delegates to the experts

Young plan.
