PACKING employees
GET WAGE CUT OF
over II PER CENT
CIV AssociatAd Press

CHICAGO. March 8.-Wage de-
crease of approximately 1914 per cent.
affecting more than 100000 employees
of the packing industry In all parts of
the country, was officially announced
today. The reductions are effective
on March IA.
At the same time there will be q re-
vision of working hours, time and one
half for overtime being paid only after
10 hours labor in any one day or
after 81 hours in any one week. Dou-
BILE time will be paid for Sundays and
holidays
The new wage scale reduces the
wage rate Of all hourly paid employees
eight cents per hour. The. piecework
rates are reduced 12h per cent. AT
present the lowest rata paid labor Is
53 cents. The higher paid employees
will be reduced proportionately. The
minimum wage guarantee for 40 hours
pay per week will be continued.
1t was also announced that the pack
ers are now working out plans to es-
tablish closer relations between the
workers and the management Of the
various plants, with a view to giving
the employees a voice In all matters
Of mutual interest.
THE reduction of 1914 per cent in
wages is very small in view Of the
fact that packing house wages aver
age three times as much today as they
did before the war" said J.. Ogden
Armour, president of Armour & COM
pany, in discussing the decreases.
"The main object is revising the hours
is to assure work in return for the
wages which are paid, thereby obviat-
ing the penalty incurred through the
payment of large sums for which no
work is performed.
despite the lower rate. employees
probably can earn as much or more
than under existing conditions. The
40-hour minimum wage with its basic
eight-hour day has demonstrated posi-
lively during the two years 1t has
been in effect that 1t results in de-
creased weekly wage earnings for the
employees. The adjustment should en-
able all plant employees to average 46
hours wage per week, and their earn
ings will compare favorably with the
earnings of similar workers in other
industries
