MERGER SEEMS LIKELY (By United Press) Washington, Nov. 17—Govern- ment officials now appear inclined to aprove the-request of J. Ogden Ar- mour for a merger of his packing concern with Morris & Co. Should- approval be granted, it would be.accompanied by the warn- mg_that. the new.concern would be subject to all the, provisions of the Packers Control act.and that any at- tempt by the <combine to use its power to restrain.commerce, would result in prompt . prosecution., It would be made plain that in not/rais- ing objection to the merger, the: gov- ernment would not be giving ‘b]an- et approval to anything the combine might do in, the future. Farm organizations here are not raising a very strenuous objection to the new plan. The Packers Con- trol law is so air-tight that the in- terests of the farmer and public would be protected, it was pointed out. In many .respects, the protec- tion of all the packers has been made uniform by the Packer Control law. Some objection is expected in con- grese, but everi their objections are not being raised very strenuously. One of the large farm organiza- tions is considering going on record for a combination of all the packers under strict government regulations, believeing that the cost of marketing and packing would be reduced to such an extent that the farmers could be paid higher prices for their stock and the consumers benefit from the lower meat :prices.

"There are seven bro- thers, including Charles of Bemidji. “Funeral s¢rvices were held from the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon. under the supervision of S. S. West.
