FRIDAY Evejninu,
ing to arrive in Ilarrisburg on sched
ule time.
Word reached the store of Bow
man and Company yesterday that
Santa has decided to make the jour
ney front his North Pole home to
the big Market street department
store by airplane.
The "ad" man at Bowman's saw
a big chance for publicity stud he
grabbed it right off the bat, just
like a New York Giant catcher tak
ing a foul tip.
He sent a wireless right away to
the good old saint to make Bow
man's his headquarters while in the
city, and Santa messaged back:
"Glad to pny you a visit. My air
plane will sail over your store some
time between 2 and 3 o'clock, when
1 will drop my big red stack on your
roof or just in front of the build
ing. If you can find a place for me
I will meet the boys and girls and
maybe stay over for a few days as
nearly all my year's work is done,
the packages wrapped and only a
little more scouting to do just be
fore Christmas Eve."
The "ad" man assured Santa that
a room in the Santa Olaus castle,
on the second floor, will be at his
disposal as long as he cares to stay.
"All right." replied Santa, "watch
for me Saturday afternoon."

HARJRISBURG TELEGRAPH
AGREEMENT WITH
PACKERS ENDS ROW;
[Continued from First Page.]
packers, in ex parte hearings in I
Washington and other cities which
were sensational In their revelations ,
of financial manipulation by means
of dummy directors, bearer war
rants and other devices to conceal j
the persons involved.
Agreement Minding
An injunction decree, to which the '
packers have acceded, will be enter- I
ed in the Federal courts to make |
! the agreement binding. Under its ;
j terms, the big five—-Swift, Armour, ,
I Morris, Wilson and Cudahy—have
agreed:
To sell under supervision of the
j United Slates District Court, pre- I
j ferably to the livestock producers •
l and the public, all their holdings in
I public stock yards
To sell, under the same super- I
' vision, and in lilt# manner all their l
I interests in stock yard railroads and
terminals. I
To sell, under the same super- ,
vision, and in like manner all their i
interests in market newspapers. i
Dispose of all their interest in !
j public cold storage warehouses ex- ,
| eept as necessary for their own •
meat products.
To forever dissociate themselves
j with the retail meat business.
Give Up "Sidelines"
To forever dissociate themselves
with all "unrelated lines," including
wholesale groceries, fresh, canned,
dried or salt fish, fresh, dried or
canned vegetables, fresh, crushed,
dried, evaporated or canned rruits,
confectioneries, syrups, soda water
fountains supplies, etc., molasses,
honey, jams, jellies and preserves,'
1 ices, sauces, relishes, etc., coffee,
I tea, cliocolate, cocoa, nuts, flour,
sugar rice and cereals (with an ex
ception to he noted), breads, wafers,
crackers, biscuits, spaghetti, ver
miohelli, macaroni, cigars, china,
furniture, etc.
To forever abandon the use of the
branch houses, route cars and auto
mobile trucks, comprising their dis
tribution system, for any other than
their own moat and dairy products.
To perpetually submit to the
jurisdiction of the United States
District Courts under an injunction
forbidding all the defendants from ,
directly or indirectly maintaining |
any combination, or conspiracy with |
each other or any other personal |
or persons, or monopolizing or at- |
tempting to monopolize, any food 1
products in the United States, or in- j
dulgtng in any unfair and unlawful j
practice.
The decree further provides the I
jurisdiction is perpetually retained
by the courts for the purpose of
taking: such other action, or adding ,
at the foot of the decree such other j
relief, if any, that may become
necessary or appropriate for the
carrying out and enforcement of the *
decrees or for the purpose of en- 1
tertaininsr at any time hereafter in j
the application which the parties '
may make with respect to this de- '
croc. *
Two Years to Comply
Two years are given to comply ;
with the decree, which affects
eighty-seven corporations and forty
nine individuals.
"In general," said Attorney Gen- ,
eral Palmer's oflicial announcement '
last night, "this decree •prevents the I
defendants from exercising any fur- ,
ther control over the marketing of i
livestock. It forever prevents them |
from any control over the retailing
of meat products. It eliminates I
them from the held of meat sub
stitutes, with the exception of eggs,
butter, poultry and cheese, which
are left for future consideration and I
appropriate action: and, therefore, j
the price of meat is within the con- |
trol of the people themselves. It !
places the conduct of these great !
aggregations of capital immediately
iinder the eye of a Federal Court
with reference to their business ,
practices.
"But greater than all, it estab- ,
lishes the princple that no group of
men, no matter how powerful, can
ever attempt to control the food
(able of the American people, or any J
one of the necessities or component i
parts o£ it.
"The Department of Justice, hav- |
ing in mind the necessities and in- j
forests of the whole American peo- '
pie in this critical reconstruction I
period, feels that by insisting upon
this surrender on the part of pack
ing interests it has accomplished j
more for the American people than I
could have been hoped for as the |
result of a long drawn out legal i
bottle."
Packers Face Huge Task
in Disposal of Their
Diversified Activities
H)/ Associated Prrss
Chicago. Dec. 19.—Segregation or!
disposal of commercial lines not di-'
rectly allied with the meat and pro- I
vision business of the five great pack- I
ing companies, as agreed upon fie- i
tween them and the United States At- j
torney General, will involve reorgan
ization of a huge industry with as
sets of more than f 1,000.000.000.
The agreement was regarded by the
packers as marking an epoch in in
dustry in tl'at for. the iirst time big
business • bows to public ooinion
recognizing it as one of the basic sun
ports of commerce.
The packers say that heretofore
they have conducted their business
upon economics and legality. They
have been sure of their economics and
equally certain of the legality of their
htisii | :s methods, they say, and now
they nave tulten account of the good
will of the public.
Many New Companion
In diverting their lines not directly
connected with the meat and provision
business, many organizations with
separate identities, involving millions
of capital, are expected to come into
being. Some of them already had ue
gun the segregation process.
In the reorganization the firm
names of Armour & Companv, Swift
& Company. Morris & Company, Wil
son & Company and the Cudahy Pack
ing Company are expected to be ab
sent from the controlling boards of
the corporations.
The five packing companies will be
restricted to meats and provisions in
cluding butter, eggs, poultry and
cheese. While prohibited under the
agreement from owning stockyards,
stockyards terminals and other 'inter
ests not directly related to meats and
provisions, they were not separated
from ownership of refrigerator car
lines, but the use of such cars was
restricted to handling their meat busi
ness. I
To Tletnln By-Products
Aocording to packers' represent®- I
tives. soap, glue, cleansing powder
and fertilizer manufacturing Is di-.
rectly connected with meat business
and will be retained.
Groceries, canned fruits and vege-1
tables, cereals and leather were I
among the side lines expected to he 1
dropped by the packing companies to;
other concerns,
Swift & Company already segregat- i
ed Its leather, canned fruit and vege- >
table business. Armour & Company do
not manufacture cereals which It was i
explained, la the province of the
trmour Grain Company, although the I
former company had distributed the
1 latter's product, Wilson & Company
| also had disposed of Its groceries.
All statements from the packers re
affirm that they had violated no laws.
I that their agreement with the attor-
Iney general Implied no guilt on their
part, but they had encountered pre
judice which they wished to ce.dl
cule.
Brard, French Pianist at
Technical High Dec. 26
The afhlld pianist of France who
createa*Yuch a furore b- her rendi
tion of Saint-Saens G Minor concerto
as •ololst with the New York Sym
phony Orchestra in this city last No-|
vember, Is to be heard here again
when Mile. Madeleine Brard appears
in Technical High school on Friday
evening, December L' 6. Mile. Brard
Will lie assisted by Frederick Gunster, I
American tenor.
Many interesting stories are told |
of Mile. Brard, who conies to thisl
country as the special representative
of the French government.
When "l.a Petite Mademoiselle" as
Madgeleine Brard is often called,
came out onto the great Metropolitan
Opera House stage, one late after
noon last January, to rehearse a
Kaint-Saens concerto, the following
evening, a surprise was in store.
The men were tired, after another
rehearsal end shifted themselves rest
lessly in their chairs when they saw
tills little 15-year-old girl in a knee
length frock and black ringlets down
lier back come onto the platform.
Mile. Brard sealed herself at the
piano with all the calmness and self
assurance of a mature artist. She
played through the. long concerto
with great brilliancy without a hitch
or correction, extracting from it all
the beauty of tone and color it con
tained. These old and well seasoned
musicians were amazed and delight
ed. and as soon as she had finished
every man stood up and applauded
this little lady of France until she
was embarrassed for the first time. •
