BIG PAY INCREASE ASKED.
Packing House Employees File Demand
For 25 Cents Per Hour Increase.

For 20 Cents FER Hour increase.
Chicago, Nov. ga demand for a
flat increase of % cents an hour for
all pacllingtown employees and that
women workers be paid the same
wages as men for the same work has
been made to Judge Samuel Alschuler,
arbitrator under the war working
agreement entered into last Decem-
Der by Francis J. Heney, counsel rep
resenting the fifteen employees unions
operating in the packing plants and at
the stock yards.
The new wage demand. which means
an increase ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent per day, varying according to
class of employment, directly Affects
nearly $4,000 employees working here as
we'll as, in plants operated by the "big
five" packers in other cities. 1t Is u
direct request for from 81 to $3.50 per
day increase for each employe and
comes on top of the s1.45 per day in
crease granted when the war work
ing agreement" was entered into.
Judge Alschuler informed Mr. Heney
yesterday that he would notify him
before the end Of the week when he
will be able to take up the petition.
There are forty new points made in
the petition, the question of a CLOSED
Shop figuring in some Of the requests
Under the terms OF the December
agreement entered into between the
packing concerns and employees they
were privileged to ask for revision or
changes at any time during the period
,bf the war;"
AS the agreement entered into be-
fore Judge Alschuler as arbitrator
was only for "the period OF the war"
there is some doubt as to whether any
award made by him under the new
demands would hold beyond the time
Of the signing Of the peace treaty. 1t
Is generally believed that any agree
ment as to wages or working condi-
tions beyond that time would neces-
sarily be new one.
1.-The principal grounds for the re-
quest OF a general increase Of 20 cents
per hour for all employees is the In
crease in the cost Of living since the
agreement was entered into" said Mr..
Hency, who spent yesterday confer
ring with John +. Hart, International
president Of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butchers Workmens or
ganization. Living budgets have in
creased measurably and the employees
believe that more money Is due them"
