that they will go to the packers
with an ultimatum, on Monday.
They have grievances of their own,e
and they declare they do not wish
to work with the nonunion men
that have been placed in the plants
since the beginning of the strike.
In anticipation of the strike
spreading to the other trades and
the possibility of housing large mum
