18 * PACKERS' COUNGEL | DENY LAWBROKEN) S:ay Merger Does Not Give ‘Armour and Morris Com- panies Control. The third day of .argument today before Secretary Jardine on the va- 1idity of the purchase by Armour & Cg., meat packers, of Morris & Co. ‘was set aside for further hearing of counsel for the packers. The Agriculture Secretary expects to take the case under advisement tomorrow night, to submit his opinon later, after both Government and packers' counsel are given opportunity tomorrw to sum up their arguments orf_the question whether the merger viSlates the packers and stockyards® act. iIn arguing the packers’ case yes- terday, A. S. Austrian, counsel for Armour & Co., contended the law had nog been violated, as more than 1,300 warkers, large and small, were in ac- tiye competition with Armour. The wmerger was not designed to restrain trade, he sald, but was an economic necessity, because of post-war de- flation. Denies Fileld Comtrolled. The fusion of the two firms, Mr. Austrian declared today, does not vio- late the law unless it places one in a position of dominant control of the mgusln. The Armour-Morris merger, he_declared, does not constitute such control, because the business of Swift & “Company is larger than that of Arimour and Morris combined. In anli- mals killed last year, he sald, Ar- mour-Morris slaughtered 23.5 per cent, while Swift rlaughtered 24.2. I addition, he declared, the Chi- cago packers had as competitors 499 packing establishments and 358 slaughtering establishments scatter- ed over a large number of cities and owned by several hundred different operators. By concentrating the buying, sell- ing and manufacturing departments, he-sald, the merger made possible a saving of $9,000,000 annually and the Jabor of 4,000 men daily. Reverting to testimony taken In the West, Mr. Austrian said 24 in- dependent packers had declared the merger had no tendency toward con- trolling prices. WEA[THY NEGRO DIES. Cal F.

LIFE OF FRANKS’ éOY SCHOOLMATE MENACED Letter Demands $1,000 From ‘Wealthy Father, Threatening Young Daughter and Son. By the Associated Pre CHICAGO, April 8.—A threatening letter of the Loeb-Leopold type, re- ceived by Walter A.

A dummy package was placed in accordance with the | instructions and a police watch set, but no one appeared to get the parcel. The letter also included Mr. Graff's son, Walter, 13, in its threats, lead- ing to a police theory that fellow stu- dents of Walter and Ruth, who is 15, probably were the authors.

The action was prompted by an old California law providing that bequests to charitable or religious organizations shall not be valid un- less the will incorporating them was executed at least 30 days before the death of the testator. Accordingly the church asks that the 26-day will, which has been admitted to probate and which provides that all previous wills be void, be set aside and a previous will recognized as valid. The previous will also names the church chief beneficiary but provides for a different set of personal bequests. —_———— Speeds as high as 45 miles a sec- ond are attained by meteors.
