PACKERS' DECREE FIGHT IS RENEWED Wholesale Grocers Tell Su- preme Court no Changes Justify Modification. 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- tion 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 busi- | 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 modifica- tion, the packers would soon monopo- lize 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 sald the business of Swift & Co. and Armour & Co., only two of the packers, | amounted to $2,000,000,000 a year, or | half the business of the 6,000 wholesale | grocers in this country. Source and Quantity. It 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 Ylul.nz 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.

LINCOLN, Nebr., March 19.—Ballots went to the printers today for Ne- braska’s primary election April 12, which may help sound out Mid-western sentiment on three Democratic candi- dates for President. The three are John N. Garner of Texas, Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and Willlam H. Murray of Okla- homa. Nebraska, battle ground of national politics in the days of Willfam Jennings Bryan, will be a new proving ground for favorite sons this year. Tests have been made already along the Canadian border in New Hampshire and North Dakota. The preferential vote for Garner. Roosevelt and Murray, however, will have little political effect on Nebraska's delegations to national political con- ventions. The 16 Democratic and 17 Republican delegates will be unin- structed and unpledged. On the Democratic ballot are two slates of delegates as the result of a bernatorial race between Gov. Charles Bryan, the party's vice presidential Jr., of Omaha, a cousin of Gov. Albert Ritchie of Marvland. There is only one full set of candi- dates for Republican delegates to the natfonal convention and the presidential campaign has caused little stir inparty ranks here. The name of Joseph Trwin France, former Maryland Senator, is the only Republican on the preferential ballot for President.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, March 19.—Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith oi 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 be him. pl;‘irgnend(‘i:o.!, 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 1in possession of the facts, evidently because you have no knowledge of the law. I 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. “As 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. It 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 a 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 a 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- tion filed the entire slate of 12 candi- dates for delegates at large and 30 can- didates for district delegates and an equal number of alternates. Col. Guthrie had not accepted defi- 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, it will be necessary for him to re-register as a Democrat.
