Lees Unrest Predicted.

Chlcago.-The Chicago hearing OF
the United States commission on In
dustriaI relations. begun two weeks
ago, was concluded Saturday with q
fitting glance at working conditions
and wages in local packing houses.
The chief witnesses were J. Ogden
Armour. president Of Armour q Co..
and director on the boards OF several
railroads and banks. and J. Es O'Hern,
his superintendent Of plants-
Most of the questions directed at
Mr.. Armour had been submitted TO
him In advance and he repeated the
questions and read the answers rapid
ly from a typewriter document.
The essential part OF his testimony
bearing on repeated testimony OF 9TH
ers that organization Is the remedy
through which workingmen may attain
their rights, was TO the effect that he
was opposed to the unionization OF his
employees. He cited the strike OF 1903,
when the offer OF the packers TO arbi-
trate was declined. he said. The union,
he declared, was crushed, and since
then organizers had been discouraged.
Mr.. Armour expressed the opinion
that Industrial unrest in the United
States Is slowly decreasing. His own
employees, he said, were adequately
protected through the privilege OF ap-
plying to the respective foremen-
The witness said he kept In touch
with employees in their homes through
foremen and the company's welfare
workers. Employees were privileged
to appeal to the president Of the com
pany when they thought subordinate
officials dealt unjustly with them.
do you believe q proper standard
of living can be maintained by week
Iy wage of $12.50?'' Mr.. Armour was
asked.
1T is a broad and difficult question" !"
he replied.
He denied that his company took
advantage OF an oversupply Of immi-
grant labor to pay less than living
wage.
Mr. Armour said that he did not be-
IIeve that unions were necessary TO
the welfare OF employees.
THE success of an employer de-
pends on the employe," said he, "and
to get the best work Of the employe
the best wages the market affords
must be paid"

Improper Packing Hurts
Price of Good Apples

Hood RIver--Northwestern apple
market men declare that indifference
OF growers In maintaining Q good sys.
tenn OF grading and packing resulted
In more harm the past year than any
other detrimental influence.
II. +. Davidson believes the change
In system OF packing apples has been
responsible for much of the deteriora.
tion OF grade and pack. Formerly the
growers paid daily wage to their
packers, who gave the fruit close In
spection. Sorting and sizing for the
most part was done by hand. Now
the fruit Is sized and graded by ma
chimes. Payment is made on q piece
basis.
Sam G.. Campbell, who for the past
two years has been chief inspector for
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors,
declares that low prices to great ex-
tent have been caused by poor pack.
and that the remedy lies in the control
OF the growers themselves, rather than
with the marketing agencies.

New York, March 27.-For the
fourth time since he won the heavy
weight championship from jim jeff
ries in 1910, Jack Johnson will defend
his pugilistic title at Havana, Cuba,
next Sunday. On that date Jess viii.
lard, the most formidable among the
white aspirants for the worlds prem.
- ring honor, will meet the negro in
what is scheduled as a forty-five round
little for the championship. In his
ling areer as a pugilist, Johnson has
never faced an opponent of the huge
physical proportions of Willard. Be
cause of this advantage in weight,
height and reach, as we'll as the ten
years difference in their ages, the FOL-
lowers of Willard hope to e his
youth and endurance triumph over the
superior boxing skill and ring exper-
fence of the champion. 1t is this
meeting between the master pugilist
and gigantic novice that lends inter.
est and uncertainty to the battle. Will
lard, shorn of his physical advantages,
would be but a manikin in the hands
of the negro who has learned every
trick Of boxing known in expert ring
strategy during his many years in the
squared circle.
Prominence Of Recent Date.
Although Johnson ring career anti.
dates the present century by a few
months, his prowess as a fighter did
not bring him into prominence in the
heavyweight division until ten years
ago and then his standing did not
give much promise Of championship
possibilities. At that time he began
meeting men Of his own color such as
Sam McVey, Joe Jeanette, Black Bill,
Walter Johnson and others whom he
defeated, in several instances decisive.
