1t is claimed that they are consider

strike, but the packers assert they

This is borne out by the fact that
the butchers sent subcommittee to
visit the packers. The packers re-
ported many desertions in the strik-

application Of strikers for re-employ-
ment in their old places. The crux
Of the situation seems to- rest IN

who might vote for this proposition.
Their return eliminates the strikers
