night regarding the action OF the
Packers in lifting their embargo against
union employees. expressed great sur
prise and pleasure. He hoped that
the Packers would now consent

of wages cuts no figure. He would en-
deavor to meet the packers tomorrow

be readily settled. II the packers
agreed to arbitrate, the men would i'm
mediately return to work, pend
ing q settlement, and would theI
abide by the findings OF thu
arbitrators. The men did not ex
pect but eight hours pay for eigh
/. hours work. and would work just q
much overtime at pro rata wages as tn,
