COURT OVERRULES PACKERS MOTION Ten-Year Controversy Over Consent Decree Passes Through Phase. BY the Associated Press. ‘The 10-year-old controversy over ‘whether Armour, Swift and other pack- ers should limit their activities exclu- sively to meat packing passed through another phase yesterday, when the Dis- trict of Columbia Supreme Court over- ruled a petition asking dismissal of an attempt by these groups to obtain modi- fication of the 1920 consent decree. The decree was consented to after the Government had instituted anti- trust proceedings againSt packers, but was not put into effect until thed Su- preme Court sustained the decree. Then the packers agreed to limit their busi- ness, and later asked modification be- cause of economic and financial de- velopments. In the decision yesterday Justice Bailey of the District Supreme Court denied a petition of the American Wholesale Grocers' Association asking dismissal of the packers' petition for modification. This suit was instituted because the packers asked modification 80 they could be allowed to resume gro- cery and retail business. Justice Bailey’s decision held that the packers’ petition should not be act- ed upon until after a full hearing on the merits of questions involved, and added that the “final determination by e court may largely depend upon zvohe'-her the Go'}lemment shall consent or oppose le proposed modifica- tion.” The Government, although not questioning the right of the court to grant modification, has challenged the packers to produce proof that their claims are justified. .
