Grafton of the league of nations by

membership in the league, were dis
eussed by the assembly of the league
here today. This was the principal
item on the agenda, having been
brought into prominence by the de-
cision yesterday of the committee on
the admission OF new states.
The assembly also continued the
task OF laying working basis for the
league which would enable It to
function as efficiently as possible,
pending the time necessary to get q
clear Interpretation OF various mat
ters and note the practical effects of
the intricate system by which the as
sembly and council dovetail into each

The most enthusiastic supporters
of the league now admit there are
problems in the covenant which seem
for the moment at least beyond solu-
ton since 1t is impossible to tell how
present arrangements are going to
work out. Die general policy adopted
seems TO be to let time work out a

PACKING EMPLOYEES
GET WAGE BOOST
Federal Judge AIschuIer Grants Part
Of Increase Asked by Workers in
Packing and Allied Industries-Five
Per Cent Granted From July to
Dec. 5.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. IA per cent wage
increase for the period between Mon
day, July s, 1920, and Sunday, Dec. S.
1920, was granted employees of the
packing and allied industries in a de-
cision handed down today by Federal
Judge Alschuler, arbitrator in pack
ing house wage disputes.
The employees had asked for a fat
increase Of 81 a day.
The decision upholds the conten-
ton Of the packers that the cost of
living has fallen to such an extent
that increases for the future were not
justified, but found the employees
were entitled to an increase over the
amount paid during the last FIVE
months.
The retroactive award will give an
average Of $3.50 to approximately
100000 men, packing officials esti-
mated, OR a total of $2,750,000 Judge
Alschuler stipulated that the checks
should be distributed not later than
Dec. %.
In a series Of supplemental orders
Judge Alschuler adjusted differentials
between several classes of employees.
