Secretary Lynn Says Report
Of Sympathetic Strike Is
Wrong; Wage Scale
Being Adjusted.

Secretary Lynn Of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters Union, stated
positively that the packing house
employees on the South Side would
not go out on sympathetic strike
for the street railway employees
union as was indicated by President
Short in his interview with Mayor
Smith.
According to Lynn each separate
union would have to vote favorably
and then have the action passed on
by headquarters in Chicago. He
stated that the men did not favor the
move and indications from the Chi
cago headquarters we're that they
did not favor such a move.
He stated that the wage scale for
packing house employees was now
being adjusted in Chicago by Fed
eral Judge Altschu1er and that such
move would undoubtedly prove
disastrous to the proposed increases
for which the men are asking. He
felt confident that the increases
asked would be granted in the arbi-
trated scale.

Wilson VIII Not Sit in
Person at Peace Table,
But VIII Act as Referee

On Board U. S. s. George
Washington, Dec. 9.-(By Wire
less to the Associated Press)-
President Wilson probably will
not sit at the peace table, but will
be represented there by delegates
while remaining in close contact
with the heads of other nations
and prepared to decide questions
referred to him.
Premier Clemenceau, it is be-
lieved, will be president of the
peace conference. This is consld-.
cred fitting because the confer
ence will be held in France.
President Wilson's disposition
is in favor of entirely public pro-
ceedings, such as are carried on
in the senate chamber at Wash
ing, with the press representa-
tives given every facility to re-
port certain business.
Naturally there will be need of
secrecy, as there is in the foreign
relations committee, but the
presidents idea is that the pro-
cedure could be much the same
as at Washington, committee
considering the confidential and
delicate features of various ques-
tions and then reporting back to
the peace conference for action.

Trip Over Street Railway Sys-

Heavy distractions were found
yesterday fastened to tracks of the
street railway company in Council
Bluffs. The strikers, when asked,
entered strenuous denials that they
were responsible. t-,.-.4-~r ...,
On Avenue A between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets, the> main
line to Omaha, several wagon loads
of granite paving blocks were
found piled upon the tracks, The
barricade was further reinforced
by steel rails placed across the
tracks and securely anchored.
AT Eighteenth street two big
willow trees were dragged upon
the tracks and wired to the rails.
Plans for obstructing the tracks at
other points are said to have been
fully matured.
All of the distractions were
placed where there would be no
Interference with street traffic, thus
preventing any necessity for inter-
