The packers found that the best way to utilize this space was to pack canned goods, dairy products and poultry beneath the meat. Then, too, the fruit and other products produced return loads for the meat cars, which otherwise would have been returned to the packing empty. When cars were sent into the fruit or vegetable - | districts or to seafood centers loaded with beef, they were able to pick up grapes or other fruits or seafood, transport them to the canneries and loads of finished products, which ghen were combined with beef cargoes shipped from the central dis- tributing points. Method Quite General. The packers had space in their cool- ers for t raw products and place in their war for the finished of operation y general and enabled some of the packers to sell such can- ned products at prices which were to have the consent decree declared vold as tending to deprive them of their rights without due process of law. In resisting that plea, the Gov- ernment, accodring to the packers, made certain allegations that the packers had violated a law or laws in their operations and that the consent decree was the result of those viola- tions. It was the clearing up of the record in this respect that the pack- ers demanded most. Nevertheless, the suspension of the decree, in so far as the California can- ners are concerned, probably will re- sult in the entry of California canned go0ds Into Southern markets in com petition with products canned in that | and other sections under conditions which may nullify any advantagd which the local products now enjoy.
