U. S. APPEAL IN PACKERS
CASE EXPECTED SOON
Arguments in Consent Decree
Anticipated by O'Brian in
Three Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
John Lord O'Brian, assistant to the
Attorney General, expects the Govern
ment's appeal from modification of the
packers consent decree to be argued in
the Supreme Court within three months.
The District of Columbia Supreme
Court modified the decree so as to per-
init the packers to handle products
other than meat.
The Justice Department this week
completed formalities of an appeal, au-
tomatically carrying the case to the
high tribunal. Wholesale grocers in
tervening parties, also took an appeal,
contending, among other arguments, the
lower court was without authority to
modify, because the decree was in the
nature of contract and one of the
parties-the grocers-had not agreed to
modification.
The Government granted the lower
court had authority to modify, but as
serted it was not justified, on the evil
dence, in the modification decision.

NITRATE COMBINE GETS
ADDED CREDIT IN CHILE
New York and London Bankers
Agree to Extension After Gov

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 14.-It was
officially announced yesterday that New
York and London bankers have arranged
slX-month extension of credit to meet
the financial requirements of the $685.
600, 900 Chilean nitrate combine, known
as "CoSach," during the remainder of
its fiscal year. Medley G. B. Whelpley
of the firm of Guggenheim Bros. made
the announcement.
The announcement said the credit has
been extended upon the government S
reaffirmation of the historic Chilean
policy that financial obligations con-
tracted viii be respected by the govern
ment." This was taken to mean that
the new Chilean government will not
! dissolve the combine, as had been
threatened since the overthrow Of the
IbaneZ regime"
Under terms of the combination,
American and British capital are used
in producing nitrate under the so-called
"Guggenheim process"
Chile has virtually the only CONNER
cially workable natural nitrate deposits
in the world, and the "Cosach" controls
81 per cent of the total production. The
government owns one-half the capital
stock in exchange for nitrate properties

schemes to cut the wages and speed
up the workers, to bring competition

workers are working till they almost
drop in order to see If the boss will
give them the Job steady. the bosses
reap in the profits.
Miserable Wages.
In the spinning room the young
workers who work cleaning the spin
ming frames are forced to clean SO to
40 frames on their knees for a mis-
cradle sum of $12. The doffers in
the spinning room get cents doff.
Some days don't make more than a
dollar.
Over 500 workers look for work in
this plant daily since it is one of the
very few mills that is working steady.
In the weave shed alone over 200
workers look for work. In the card
room shout the same amount. On
Monady over 800 look for work.
When these workers come out it looks
as if the entire mill has closed. While
