FREAK W|NDSTORM
TAKES LIVES OF SIX
One Virginia and Two North
Carolina Counties Are
Damaged by Blast.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., January Six
persons were dead today in the wake
of freakish windstorm that dipped
down into two counties in North Caro-
lima and one in Virginia late yesterday,
leaving devastation in its path.
Mrs. Grover Henderson was killed In
the collapse of a farm house near
Boydton, across the State line in
Mecklenburg County, Va.
Near Ridgeway, in Warren County,
N. c., four colored persons were crushed
to death by the falling timbers of their
home, and a fifth, girl, was killed in
the collapse of a colored farm life
school.
Two colored persons were injured
near Yanceyville, CaSwen County, N.
c., where the storm first struck, and a
dozen or more were injured in the
vicinity of Boydton, Ridgeway and Wise.
After sweeping along for 20 miles in
Caswell County, the storm apparently
lifted and left two counties untouched
It struck again near Boydton and a
third time near Norlina to cut swath
miles long and several hundred feet
wide from Ridgeway to Wise.
At least four dwellings, two colored
churches and the celored school were
demolished between Ridgeway and Wise
Other buildings were damaged and trees
uprooted all along the storms course.
Several buildings were blown down
or damaged near Yanceyville and
Boydton.

Another work in which Dr. Gilbreath
and are interested, and which we feel
should help in the unemployment crisis,
is the repairing and remodeling of
homes. The home is generally accepted
as entirely a woman's work. Many
hundreds of women have their homes
remodeled or repaired at certain times
of the year Through articles and lee
lures, we hope to urge women who are
financially able to do so to have work
done on their homes now. Such work
will give employment to hundreds out
of work In many cases, the work can
be done now, instead of postponing or
waiting until later time"
Safeguarding permanent injury to
children through malnutrition during
troubled times; directing women's at
tention to work on their homes, which
will benefit hundreds of unemployed,
are but few of the problems which
these two efficiency experts, Lillian Gil
breath and Alice Dickson, will tackle
with the purpose of helping others.
Mrs. Dickson will remain in the
Washington Office, while her co-worker,
Dr. Gilbreath goes forth into the field
to study at first-hand the needs Of
women and children suffering from the
consequences of <.tflers and husbands
unemployed.

MEANING OF WORD
CRUX OF LONG SUIT
Modification of Packers Con-
sent Decree Conferred on
Definition of Monopoly"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 6.-Modification
of the packers consent decree yeSter-
day marked the climax of a 10-year
legal dispute which has centered on the
proper definition of monopoly"
At first an issue exclusively between
the Government and the big four"
Chicago packers, the decree later be-
came snarled in the questions of farm
relief, chain stores and other mani
festations of the last decade.
1t was the Governments contention
that the Armour Morris, Swift, Wilson
and Cudahy packing companies OPP
Grated virtual food trust"
Attorney General Palmer shortly after
the war served notice that he intended
to file suit charging this, his evidence
being based on an investigation by
the Federal Trade Commission and the
complaints of grocers competing with
the packers.
Decree Entered in 1920.
The big four" response was the
consent decree" which was entered
packers to discontinue their activities
in industries not directly connected
with the preparation of meat.
In the succeeding months, the Cali
fornia Cooperative Canneries entered
the case and asked leave to intervene,
as they had contract with Armour
whereby they unloaded for distribution
their entire output of canned fruits
and vegetables.
The court hearings which followed
finally brought about a suspension of
the decree by the District of Columbia
Supreme Court. Armour and Swift, de-
termined to secure its abolition, began
litigation with the object of having the
decree declared invalid, but the Supreme
Court of the United States, by unani-
nous consent, in March, 1928, upheld 1t.
Modification Sought.
The following year, when farm re-
lief reached a temporary peak Of pub
lie interest, recognized spokesman for
cattle growers co-operatives in the West
and fruit and vegetable farmers in the
East called on the Department of Agri-
culture to urge a drastic modification,
If not revocation of the decree. Their
demands we're countered by the Ameri-
can Wholesale Grocers' Association and
National Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton, which. from the beginning, sup
ported the decree.
Armour and Swift renewed their eff
forts to bring about a revision, and
cited as one argument the contention
that 80 many organizations, including
chain food stores, have developed to
such an extent that any monopoly or
restraint of trade is wholly impossible. 4"

Despite the difficulties that will al

forced by the answering trend of
American economy to the conviction that
we are yet to see great development of
big business in this country.
The change in American public
thought toward huge combines in re-
cent years is little short of miracu-

Old Fear Superseded.
