PACKERS DECREE
FIGHT IS RENEWED
Wholesale GroCers Tell ST.
preme Court no Changes
Justify Modification.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Opposition to modification of the
packers consent decree was renewed
yesterday in the Supreme Court by the
American Wholesale Grocers' ASsocia-
ton through its counsel, Edgar Watkins
Watkins said the lower court had au-
thorized modification because of its
findings that changed conditions war
ranted such action.
He insisted there had been no mate
rial change in basic conditions since
the decree was entered, in 1920, assert
ing that the packers had now not only
the same facilities to monopolize bust
ness in both meat and non-meat food
products as then but also had the dis
position.
Cause Of Monopoly.
Declaring the consent decree was
based on the showing it was necessary
to prevent monopolization of the meat
industry, Watkins asserted that If per-
mitted to handle at wholesale non-meat
products, as proposed in the modif1ca-
ton, the packers would soon monopo-
lie that business.
To emphasize the power of the pack
ers to monopolize meat products and
other food products, competing with
meat under a modified decree, Watkins
said the business of Swift & Co. and
Armour q Co., only two of the packers,
amounted to $4,000, 100000 year, or
half the business of the 5000 wholesale
grocers in this country.
Source and Quantity.
1t was necessary, he added, for the
larger chain stores to buy their meats
and such products from the large pack
ers because of the volume of the chain
store business, thus placing such stores
in danger of harmful pressure from the
packers.
Should the modified decree stand, the
main object of the original decree to
enable competition between meat and
non-meat food supplies would be de-
stroyed, he told the court.

TRADE COMMISSION
ENDS UTILITY CASE.
Probe of Affairs of New Eng.
land Public Service Com
pany Completed.

The Federal Trade Commission today
had wound up its examination of the
affairs of the New England Public
Service Co., indirect subsidiary of the
Middle West Utilities Co., and was pre-
pared to go into the financial structure
of another concern, probably the Ar
kansas Power Co. The next probe
starts Tuesday.
Testimony regarding the constituent
holdings of the New England P. S. C.
was taken yesterday, Frank Bucking-
ham, q commission examiner, return
ing to the stand and teStifying to the
company's acquisition of other utility
and industrial enterprises in Maine and
New Hampshire.
Executives Testify,
His testimony on the financial struc-
ture of the company had been inter-
rupted by the appearance of Walter S,
Wynan, president of the New England
corporation, and Carroll N. Perkins, a
director, who testified regarding the
company'S efforts to secure a favorable
vote in referendum to permit power
export from Maine.
In certain instances involving the
smaller companies in the New England
group, Buckingham testified there had
been an increase of value of the plants
OF these companies on the books after
their purchase.
Buckingham cited two companies as
having had small "writcupS" in the
book values of their plants.
How were these increases in book
values accounted for?" he was asked by
Robert E. Healy, commission counsel
They were written up to conform
with the values set by the engineers"
Buckingham replied.
Figures Written Up.
Reviewing the affairs of the Windsor
Electric Light Co., Healey asked the
amount of this increase.
THAT write up was 1929, 064.42,
Buckingham replied, adding that there
were certain financial adjustments to
be made in that figure.
He made the same qualification in
attributing a plant value increase of
1927, 1887 in the Bradford Electric
Light Co.

|SM|TH HITS BACK
AT BAY STATE FOE
Denies "Inviting Loss to
Party" Declaring He Did
Not Insist on Slate.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 1e-Former Gov,
Alfred E. Smith OF New York. In reply
to criticism that he was inviting loss
of the State to the Democratic party
in November" replied that he had not
insisted that any slate OF delegates pe
pledged to him.
Francis ]. Finneran. president Of the
Democratic Club of Massachusetts,,
wired Smith Thursday, accusing him
of inviting loss of the State to the
Democratic party by insisting that a
slate be pledged to Alfred E. Smith"
In reply, Smith wired, You are not
in possession of the facts, evidently
because you have no knowledge of the
law. 1 have not insisted that any
slate of delegates be pledged to me.
Under the law of your State I am
simply required to state whether or
not I will accept their support. That
is as far as it goes
las to New York. we have no such
statute and there is really no method
of instructing the delegates from New
York under our primary laws. 1t is
simply an agreement. Read the law
and you will probably find that my
position is all right"
Says He Consulted Lawyers.
Finneran said he consulted legal au-
thorities, and then wired Smith, After
reading the law, I was forced to the
conclusion that notwithstanding your
original. declaration that you were not
candidate, consciously or uncon-
sciously, compliance by you with the
Massachusetts, law makes you a candi-
date"
Roosevelt supporters drew from the
Republican ranks yesterday to COM
plete their list of candidates for dele
gates and alternateS to the convention.
A few hours before the deadline for
certifying of signatures for the nomi-
nation papers of their candidates, Mayor
James M Curley and James Roosevelt,
son of the New York Governor, offered
place on the list of delegates at large
to Col. Percy A. Guthrie, Boston attor-
ney and World War hero.
Roosevelt Slate Filed.
In the meantime, after a day of
frantic activity, the Roosevelt organiza-
ton filed the entire slate Of IL candi-
dates for delegates at large and 80 can
didates for district delegates and an
equal number of alternates.
Col. Guthrie had not accepted def
nitely the place on the Roosevelt ticket,
James Roosevelt said last night, adding
that the election requirements allowed
several days in which a change might
be made If necessary If Guthrie, or
ganizer of the famous Canadian Black
Watch" regiment during the World War,
accepts, 1t will be necessary for him to
re-register as Democrat.
