PACKING WORKERS
 VOTE FOR STRIKE BY B|G MAJORITY
Conference Executive 0ttI- cers and Allied Crafts Representatives Are
 Called

Chicago. October Contemplation of the strike vote in the packing in- dustry taken by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Work men, was announced here today by c. J. Hayes, president. He said the poll stood 35,354 yeas and 3,49o noes.
 A conference Of executive officers and representatives of allied crafts will be held here next week, MT. Hayes sssld A striise Of packing house employees at the John Morrell coni- pany plant at ottumwa, la, which began this week. Hayes said, was the most important strike in the industry since the war. He reported 1000 men out.
 This was the second time within a few months that the members of the butcher workers union have voted to strike. Last summer plans for a walkout virtually were complete when Secretary of Labor Davis called representatives. of the packers and of employees into joint conference at Washington where the differences were settled amicably, the packers agreeing to extend the Alschuler war time agreement, through which fed- eral Judge Alsch ulers arbitrated pack - ing house industrial questions. an- other six months and the men ac- cepting a wage cut. The extension of this agreement recently expired. No formal comment from represen- tatiyes of the packing interests was forthcoming tonight The attitude of little fear of the consequences of the strike ballot was expressed by q rep resentative of one of the big five , concerns. He said the ballot was not even representative of the employees in the industry, and that the total of 3S,S94 votes announced by MT. Hayes was only Q small minority of all the workers.

NEW FIGHT BEGUN
 IN ST|LLMANCASE Members of RockefelIeA Fam lily interested In Trust Fund
 Try to Keep 0ut
By Associated Press

White Plains, N. r.. October H1.-- Members of the Rockefeller faNily interested in the s37.000.o0o trust funds created by the will of the late James Stillman today opposed efforts to draw them and all other potential beneficiaries into the divorce litiga- ton begun by James A. Stillman, banker. against the former Eff Pot ter and baby Guy Stillman.
 Through counsel they argued against motion which would have all potential beneficiaries show cause why they should not be made co-de- fendants with Mrs. Stillman and two- year-old Guy, whose paternity Still man impugned. The move was made by John E. Mack, guardian for Guy.
 Almet F. Jenks, counsel for Mrs. Percy A. Rockefeller. and Mrs. Will liam Rockefeller. sisters of James A. Stillman. contend this would bring into the case a large number of per sons with no interest whatever In the litigation. save that under the will of the elder Stillman they were entitled to share at some time in the trust funds.
 He declared the court without jurisdiction- to grant the motion in- asmuch as the original divorce ac- ton charging Mrs. Stiiiman with in- fidelity and branding the child ille- sgitimate was statutory.
 If they want a jury, we are satis- fled" exclaimed Mir. Mack. After all. the whip hand does not apply to a court of equity"
 MT. Jenks asked Justice Morsch- auser to use his head, not his heart.
 MT. Mack suggested that both be employed
 He charged that the New York bankers sole object in bringing the suit was to have Guy Judged illegiti- nate.
 If this. child Is found to be iegiti- mate," he added. flor Gods sake dt mt bring back this stain. This child has right for his life.
 Through me. he says in effect to this court: The family of my father is against me in my efforts to pro- tect my good name, and that all am trying to do. I believe l can pro- tect my good name if the matter is firally adJudicated at this time. but If it Is not finally settled now, years row establish the legitimacy of my birth may have died or become h. competent to testify.'"

BOND ISSUE B|[I FORGED Bbcl.x::, >+,J HO|ISF<1 1tRDAY Action on senate Substitute Is Deferred By House

 Montgomery, October 21.-tSpe- cial. $25, 100000 bond issue calling an election on the question of issuing bonds for good roads, was forced back into the house of rep resentatives Friday when the Senate acted favorably on substitute which cuts down the amount to be spent in each county to $250,0o0, the house measure requiring $3o0,000 to be spent. The lower house previ- ously passed the bond bill.
 Because 1t was desired to have a full membership present, action on the senate substitute was deferred Il the house until Tuesday. It is neces- sary to have a three-fifths maJo,ity in the house, and that body barely had quorum present Friday There has been much difference of opinion as to the amount that should be spent In each county. The majority of the house members believe that the re- quirement should be sSo0.ooo. while the senate limited it to $2500oo. It is understood the house Is willing to reduce the amount, and will concur in the senate substitute on Tuesday.
 Two Important Moves.
 The senate did two important things Friday: 1t postponed until the next legislative day--Monday---fur ther consideration of the Sunday ob- ssrvance bill at request of the au- thor. Mir. Beale of Tuscaloosa, snd voted an additional sum as px- penses for the special session, so that special train could be operated to Birmingham next Wednesday for 'he benefit of the legislature and state officers who desire to greet presi = dent Warren c. Harding at the Bir- mingham semi-centennial ceiebfa- ton
 Senator Beaie made no explanation of his motive in asking posIponement of consideration of the Sunday ill He merely asked that such action be taken, and the senate voted with him
 
 to find out what effect the several amendments, adopted Thursday would have on the measure one afnendment exempted from the Sun day closing law all gaso1iie .illing stations, restaurants and bakeries Senator A. H. Carmichael of Col , bert introduced, and the senate adopted, an amendment to bill pro- viding for the expense of the special session. The amendment gives s5.00C Tor any part thereof that Is neces- sary'' to pay the cost of the special train to Birmingham. Later the Col bert senator said that the train will be ail-Pullman. and will leave early Wednesday morning. returning that night about g or 10 o'clock.
 The senate also concurred in q house amendment, increasing appro- priation to the Training School for Girls to s75,0o0. It was explained the appropriation was changed from

 4 decision from this conference will not be announced until after Oc- tober 80, the scheduled strike date. board members said, declaring that in this way a walkout would be averted unless the unions defied the boards orders not to strike pending a ruling.
 The action was taken following TO- ceipt from Washington of informa- ton that every interested branch If tho government would back the board in it's attempts to settle the rail diff faculties, members declared.
 While both carriers and unions promptly announced they would com- ply with the order citing them to dp- pear before the board next Wednes- day, W. G. Lee, president of The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen one of the organizations which has called strike, in a statement given out in Cleveland, asked by what au- thority anyone could compel man to work. and pointed out that the right to strike had been upheld by the United States supreme court.
 At the same time trainmen on the International and Great Northern, Texas road, prepared to carry out their plans to strike tomorrow ana the maintenance of way and the fire mems unions, representing 100000 rail workers, announced here that they would join the proposed walk out October 30. These two groups are part of the Il unions numbering three-fourths of the nations rail em- ployes which had voted to strike but had not issued strike call.
 Besides stepping into the breech between the carriers and the five unions which have called a strike the trainmen, the switchmen, the en- N gineers, the firemen and the conduc- Y tors-the labor board summarily or E dered the Fremont and Gulf railroad. a 67-mile line in Louisiana, to re- scind its order installing an open | shop effective at p. m. tonight. | If the unions choose to carry II through strike plans which the board | asked them to defer, members of the \ board said that the next move would l have to come from Washington, tnti- mating that today's action exhausted their attempts. At the same time 1t was pointed out that the transporta- ton act gives the board power to cite the interested parties for alleged yio- lation of it's rulings, as 1t did to- day in calling next Wednesdays con- ference, but provided no penalties for violation of its decrees,
 In connection with the labor board order to defer strike action 1t was pointed out the big five" union chiefs yesterday informed the board | that the strike could not De post | poned as no arrangements for such | contingency had been made, although 1t could be settled.
 Creates Sensation
 The boards announcement today came as one of the most sensational developments in the. rail crises since the big fi,e' unions let 1t become kEown that they were formally send ing out authorization for strike. It was issued virtually without warning, and at time when the consensus had been that this gov ernmental agency had met an inn passe in its attempts to settle the crisis when it's conference yesterday with union chiefs was adjourned with the announcement that no re-
