...Chicago last week Retail Butchers William Kessler, Charles Kessler and Louis Feldman sued U. S. meat packers for some $33,000,000. They wanted some $20,000,000 from Armour & Co. and Swift & Co., the remainder from 28 smaller packers. The amount claimed represented part of the processing tax money which had been put in escrow pending the Supreme Court's decision on the constitutionality of AAA (TIME, Jan. 20).

Profit was up more than $6,000,000, but the thrifty Swifts appropriated a $6,000,000 reserve for possible inventory losses in the future. Since 1885, when Gustavus Franklin...
