GOMPERS HELPS
S-HOUR PLEA
TESTIFIES FOR EMPLOYEES AT
PACKING HOUSE WAGE
INQUIRY.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, arrived in Chicago today to
testify in behalf of the employees in
the stockyards wage arbitration. 1t
is expected that he will take the stand
this afternoon. He is to be one of the
chief witnesses for the men and, it is
said he will plead for adoption of the
basic S-hour day and higher wages
for the employees of the packing in
dustry.
Permission was telegraphed to Kan
sas City, Omaha and Sioux City
authorizing officers of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butchers
union to inspect the plants of the big
packers in those cities today.
WAGE STATISTICS SHOWN
William Farris, general manager
for Morris and company, was the first
witness in today's proceedings. He
produced statistics showing the wages
paid the various classes of labor in
Morris plants.
John Fitzpatrick Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, today wired
United States Senator J. Hamilton
Lewis in Washington. calling attea-
ton to statement on the stand yes
terday by John O'Hearn, superintend-
ent for Armour and company. in
which Fitzpatrick quoted O'Hearn as
saying that meat production IS limited
by failure Of the federal government
to furnish sufficient inspection.
ASKS REMEDIAL LAW
O'Hearns statement was that the
government would not let the packers
speed up because inspection could moi
be done properly.
Fitzpatrick's telegram suggested
that congress investigate and remedy
the defects, or if this is not practlc-
able, that the case be referred to the
federal trade commission
