PACKING HOUSE WAGE CASE
IN HANDS OF ARBITRATOR

answered by the packers counsel with
q defense Of the wages paid as COM
pared with other industries.
Walsh's argument was the most
scathing arraignment OF the packing
industry ever heard here. The pack
ers' organized charity and welfare
work among their workers he de-
nounced as "a substitute for the just
wage the packers owe their en-
ployees."
Employment of women in the killing
beds where they also handle the offal
of hogs and singe the skins Of the still
warm carcasses was made the basis
of a plea by Walsh to Arbitrator Al
chuler to forbid such work by wo-
men for the profit of any other human
being"
Walsh related new chapters IN the
story of what occurred in Washington
prior to the packers agreement to ar
bitrate, declaring they We're threaten

what finally broke down their oppost-
