EMPLOYEES
TO VOTE ON STRIKE
Government May Intervene If
the $4,000 Vote to Quit
Their Work

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Preparations were
under way today for strike vote of
more than 10000 employees of Chicago
packers. This action is said to have
been precipitated by the discharge Of
sixty employees of a local concern. The
men want higher wages and better
working conditions.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, who or
dered the vote, said today it will not
necessarily mean walkout. He said the
packers have refused to meet union
committee and that he hopes the power
to call strike will force conference
Government intervention is looked
for, as the federal food administration
has Just placed a meat order with the
big packers for the allied governments
and relief commissions, which is char
acterized as the biggest in the history
of the world. y Fitzpatrick has notified
Samuel Gompers, president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation Of Labor of the call for the
vote.
In addition to the local plants, the
branch concerns in Kansas City, East
st. Louis, st. Joseph, Denver, st. Paul,
Oklahoma City and Wort Worth are
affected.
