Kept ten years behind the times by governmental shackles, Armour and Swift, biggest U. S. meatpackers. last week again attempted to catch up with the current procession of food merchandising.

Long is this case's legal history. In 1919 the U. S. moved to sue Armour, Swift, Wilson, Cudahy and Morris (since absorbed by Armour), great packers all, for violating the Anti-Trust Law. The Government's charge: they were attempting to create a food monopoly by handling 114 food products other than meat (canned fruits, canned vegetables, dairy goods, cereals), by retailing their own products, by buying heavily into cold storage, stockyard and terminal railroad companies. The packers settled the suit by consenting to drop all production unrelated to the meat industry, to abandon the retail field...

...first round MacDonald Smith, who tied for first in the Open the year (1910) that Bobby Jones was nine years old, tied for the lead with one-eyed Tommy Armour, famed for his iron shots and erratic putting, who had 70. Johnny Farrell, 1928 Open champion, had an eight on the first hole, a two on the third, a six on the fourth, and then made three birdies in succession to keep in the running. Jones had 71, Walter Hagen, back from a tour of Japan and needing practice, had 72 and so did blond, loose-jointed Horton Smith...
