SAYS PRICES OF
' MEAT MAY SOAR
FROM NEW ORDER
President. of South Side Firm
- Fears Consumer, and Pro-
. ducer May Suffer From
Packers' Agreement. ,
In reference to the order of the
United States government directing
. meat packers of the country to give
' up side lines in which they, have
been engaged and devote theirac
tivities solely to the meat industry,
Edward Morris, president of Morris
& Co., issued a statement, which was
given out here Tuesday, explaining
the packers' version of the order.;,-
Among other things, Mr. .Morris
says, the government and the pack
ers have reached an agreement to
adjust all differences and settle
ment was made with the express un
derstanding that it does not involve
the violation of any law. , :
He says that the packers still in
sist that in the interest of live stock
i producers the stock yards should
be owned and managed by the peo-
pie who have an interest in the in
dustry and the building up of the
markets at the great live stock cen-
ters. He ' denies that the adjust
. ment of the business of the packers
will necessitate the readjustment of
the organizations.
That the packers are giving up
only certain activities, is the state-
ment of Mr. Morris, and he says,,
that as this has been agreed to, he
hopes the public will accord fair
treatment to the vital industry of
packing house operation and discon
tinue needless and unjustified criti
cism and agitation, which he says
helps no one and hurts all.
In conclusion, he' said the hand
ling of staple groceries by the va
rious packing house companies was
, a sound economical measure- con
ducted in the interest of the public
generally, because the operations in
; those lines utilized the facilities of
the companies during the slack sea
, son, furnished the retailer excellent
I service and reduced' overhead op-
erating expenses. He said when
'the extraneous activities were taken
- away from the packers, either the
live stock prducer must get less for
their animals pr the consumer must
pay more for meat

County Attorney Makes Re?
port Showing Greatest
v Number of Cases Ever
Tried In One Year.
i
Crime In Omaha has never in his
tory been anything near what it is
now according to a' report which
County Attorney Shotwell com
pleted yesterday.'
In spite of the fact that the coun
ty attorney's office has tried more
cases since last January than were
ever tried before in a similar length
of time, the cases awaiting trial in
the middle of September were more
than twice as great as the cases
awaiting trial last January. -
"Last January when I took office
there were 80 criminal cases await
ing trial,", said Mr. Shotwell. "In
the "middle of September, before the
court house riot, there wece more
than 160 cases awaiting trial. '
'.'Last July when court adjourned
there were just five persons in jail
awaiting trial on criminal charges.
Today there are 30 in jail awaiting
trial and more than 100 out on
bond. N -
"These figures do not include
liquor cases, of which there are more
than 100.".
The figures also show that never
has there been such activity in try
ing men on criminal charges as dur
ing the present term of court Ordi
narily there is only one court room,
jury and judges engaged in trying
criminal cases. During the present
term three, court rooms, three judges
and three juries have been engaged
in this work. Ordinarily one crimi
nal case was disposed of in a week.
During this term six or seven a week
has been the average.
In addition to all this work the
grand jury workwas taken care of.
There were 555 witnesses examined
in 195 cases and 115 indictments
were returned. Special legislation
connected with restoration of the
court house and records has been
anotherbig item. '
