PACKING HOUSE
EMPLOYEES ASK
WAGE INCREASE

Chicago, Nov. PA demand for a
flat increase of 25 cents an hour for
all packing house employees, and that
women workers be paid the same
wages as men for the same kind Of
work, came up yesterday before Judge
Samuel Alschuler, Arbitrator under
the "war working agreements" enter
ed into by the workers and their en-
ployers last December.
Judge Alschuler informed Francis
j. Heney, counsel representing the
fifteen employees unions operating in
the packing plants and at the stock
yards, that he would notify him before
the end of the week when he would be
able to take up the petition.
The new day wage demand, which
means an increase ranging from 10 to
SO per cent a day, varying according
to class of employment, directly at
fects nearly $4,000 employers in
Chicago as we'll as those in plants OPP
Grated in the "big five" packers in
other cities.
1t is direct request for from 50 to
$3.50 day increase for each employee
and comes on top of the $1.45 day
increase granted when the war
working agreement" was entered into.
The principal ground Off the request
for general increase is the increase
! in the cost o fliving since the Decem-
Der agreement. :.
