: CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Additional let
ters introduced by Attorney Francis

Attorney Frank p. Walsh in the stock
yards wage arbitration in support of
charges made by the employees side
that the five big packers act together
in labor matters and discriminate
against union men.
One letter dated Aug. 2, 1917, al
legged to have been written by w. B.
Trainor, assistant, to Louis F. Swift,
president of Swift & Co., to his SUI
rerior, gave detailed description Of a
strike which occurred at the Denver
plant of Swift & Co., in July, 1917.
The letter stated that Armour and
Swift were working together in labor
matters in Denver. The strike, it ap-
pears, was precipitated by an attempt
made to reduce the killing gang rs
per cent and in order to get rid Of a
of union labor agitators.
A few days later all the men walked
out and the plant was closed. The
letter suggested that 7. w. w. influ-
ence might have been responsible for
the strike. The letter concluded with
the expressed opinion that the Amer,
lean Federation of Labor, I. w. w.
and the Federal Department of Labor
were attempting to unionize the pack
ing industry. Attorney Walsh also
read a letter from J. Burns addressed
to Louis F. Swift advising against TAX
ing action toward placing the packing
plants under government control until
conditions warranted. =.

SEC. DANIELS PRAISES LAB0R'S FIDELITY
Think Ten Million Working Faithfully Victory Getting
Pessimitic Over Strike o Urges Of Navy.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 2S.-
Labor deserves the highest praise for
it's patriotism and sacrifices in the war,
said Secretary of the Navy Daniels
here in an address before the Balti-
more Press club.
The secretary's address was an ap-
peal for national unity as the only
thing to win the war: He warned
against pessimism. He pleaded with
Americans, when reading of a strike
of 10000 workmen, to think rather of
the 10,000,000 other American work
men laboring in frigid temperatures
risking their lives and limbs in the
cold that the country may be victori-
GUS in the conflict.
Secretary Daniels, who was well
coined by Mayor Preston, prefaced his
remarks by a talk on the duty Of the
press in the war. Speaking of those
Papers which showed a disposition to-
ward pessimism, he said:
This is no time for pessimism.
Neither is it an hour for optimism
It is an hour for dedication and reso-
luton. There is no room for pessi-
mism in America now It is a sin!
"You may ask me-" he continued,
what it is will win the war-that
is, what one thing above all Others"
Here Secretary Daniels referred to
the various contributing factors
food, fuel, money. He told of the
sacrifices made. Because of the sac
rifices made" he said, America has
done more in six months to get into
the war than any other nation In an
equal time In the worlds history"
: But, said the secretary, although
Hoover, Garfield, McAdoo and the
others might each select his partic-
ular line to dwell on as necessary
to win the war, he would say the
chief necessity is ''ships, and ships,
and more ships. !" But even then, he
