Abstract

The Packers' Plea
Begley, Robert V. | August 27, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Petitions of Swift and Co. and Armour and Co., which are now pending in the Supreme Court of the Washington D.C., asking for modification of a decree which they consented to in 1920 are a matter of large public importance. This decree virtually required packers to confine their activities to the meat-packing business. It required them to dispose of their interests in public stockyards, stockyards terminal railways and newspapers and to keep out of the retail meat and grocery fields. Petitions for modification emphasize the fact that packers are enjoined from engaging in a perfectly legitimate business and are thus deprived of rights, which all other citizens possess. It is inferred that this is discrimination.
