PACKERS SAY EIGHT HOUR
DAY IS NOT PRACTICABLE

Chicago. Ill, Feb. 26.-John z.
O-Hern, general superintendent for
Armour and company. today continued
his testimony in the stockyards wage
arbitration by giving reasons why he
considered the eight hour day i'm
practicable for stock yards employees
during the war. He said the killing
plants were constructed on the basis
Of ten hour day and that the cooling
rooms. tanks and by products depart
ments were standardized accordingly.
To operate on an eight hour day
basis, he said. every packing plant
would have to be enlarged and recon
structed, which work would take two
years. according to witness, and cost
thousands OF dollars
Mr.. O'Hern said government inspec-
tion regulations require a cleanup OF
the plant daily. which takes about
four hours. This. he said, would
make Il impracticable to operate three
eight hour shifts in the rush season
or even two eight hour shifts daily.
Summing up his conclusions. Mr..
O-Hern said.
Ny opinion is that the eight hour
day could not be adopted by the
packers AT present without seriously
the productivity of the
plants during the war when unusual
demands are being made on US

After eating a sandwich, the bread

ter a barber shop. wherein he found

asked a clerk If soaps containing but

Must BE Great To Be Rich.
Two thoughts entered the mind of
the prowling reporter at these start
ling discoveries: First. it must be
great to be a member of the clan of
idle rich, who, like orientals who
are said to have bathed in milk, honey
and wine in the olden times, are now
able to have their heads shampooed
with olive oil and eggs. and their
bodies washed with buttermilk and
oatmeal; and second. it didn't look
tair that some Of the people reduce
their consumption of eggs, milk, oil
and cereals, while others are provided
an opportunity Of bathing themselves
therein.
NOurished Through Skins
He wondered If, perhaps, Mr. /
Hoover couldn't show by a process of /
figuring that a drop Of milk in this /
path, an egg twice a week for a sham |
200, with some olive oil thrown in, /
wouldn't amount to enough in the /
;ourse Of year to provide nourish- I
nent for all the babies in Belgium, /
France. the Balkans and Armenia
Being of a charitable mind, he con-
.luded that some OF the users of eggs,
ills and oatmeal by the head and skin
cute might be combining their baths {
