Judge Agrees to Calling Of
j. Ogden Armour and
Nelson Morris

CHICAGO, Feb. 1e.-J. Ogden Ar
mour, president Of Armour & Co., and
Nelson Morris, chairman Of the board
of directors Of Morris & Co., were
asked to-day by attorneys for the
stockyard employees to appear as wit
nesses in the packers wage arbitra.
ton proceedings being heard by Fed
eral Judge Samuel Alschuler.
Counsel for the packers protested
against the summoning Of their clients,
declaring that they would not be able
to give any information on the subject
being investigated that could not be
furnished by other officials or by docu-
mentary evidence, but Judge Alschuler
ovcrruled the objection and decided the
packers should appear.
An unsuccessful effort was made to

reach them this afternoon and an
other attempt will be made Monday.
Tho arbitration proceedings are VOL
untary in character, and the packers
may decline to appear as witnesses,
although their attorneys said they
would use every possible effort to have
them testify.
Attorney Frank P. Walsh declared
that If the packers fail to appear Mon
day he will appeal to Secretary Of La
Dor Wilson to compel their attendance.
Counsel for the employees and the
packers c!ashed frequently to-day in
discussing the terms Of the mediation
agreement under which the arbitration
proceedings are being held.
At one point Attorney James G. Con-
don, for the packers, said, in addressing
Attorney Frank P. Walsh:
why don't you turn around and adj
dress the audience, as it is apparent
what you are saying is intended more
Tor the crowd than for the ears of the
arbitrator"
"The public has right to know
everything that is done here" angrily
replied Walsh.
Mrs: Laura Covington, colored, who
said she had been employed by Wilson
& Co. and Libby, Mcneil & Libby for
several weeks year and half ago as
Gamer, testified sanitary conditions
at the plants were bad, and that colored
girls employed there we're discrimi-
mated against in many ways. She said
none. Of the women earned more than
50 a week at that. time, and many did
not get moro than 81 week for a day
Of ten hours.
Counsel for the packers objected to
all Of her testimony, saying that the
conditions complained of had been cor

Predicts That They Will
overcome All Difficulties
as Before
Labor Outlook Better
Power Now Sought to Fur
I: Tough Soldiers for Agri-
cultural Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--Prediction
that the country's farmers will over
..ome this year, as they did last, the
Ha;culties in respect to labor and
otherwise, was made to-day by Secre-
tsrv Houston of the Department of
agriculture, but he stated that there
should be no let-up this year in efforts
"a better the record Of last year and
10 conserve food.
ut Is clear that it will be econom-
lli,slly wise and advantageous for the
farmers of the nation to put forth
their best efforts during the coming
.eason to equal and. if possible, to ex-
e,ed their record Of last year," said
he Secetary in statement. "ln spite
# the large production in many direc-
ions during 1917 the situation is not
satisfactory. The supply of wheat IN
this nation and in the world is made
ouste. Whether the war continues or
mot, the demand in this country, be-
cause of the increasing population and
of the needs of Europe, will be great.
They will continue to DO great for a
considerable period even after peace
returns. There will be an especially
: strong demand made on this country
for meats and livestock.
In some respects the farm labor stu
alton may not be quite so difficult as
last year, although it will continue to
be especially acute in certain sections.
The environments have been built and
there will not be a renewal of urgent
demands in many sections for labor
for such work. The draft regulations
provide for the deferred classification
Of skilled farm labor. The population
Of the country has increased somewhat
within the past year. The Secretary of
War has asked Congress for power to
'furlough soldiers of the National Army
for agricultural service, if necessary.
Bearing these matters in mind, it
seems highly likely that the farmers,
by exercising their talent for coopera-
ton and organization, with such as
sistance as can be furnished by gov
again be able to overcome the Difficult
ties. The departments Of Agriculture
and Labor are continuing to develop
their organizations to assist farmers
in securing the labor needed in their
operations. They are especially plan
ming to assist in the transfer of labor
from community to community and
from state to state.
Specific suggestions are now under
consideration for the spring campaign
and will be made public in the near
future"
