MEAT SHIPMENTS
ARE CURTAILED AS
RESULT OF STRIKE
fContinued from Page One)

ager of the Wilson & Co. BirminE-
ham branch, his firm here is receiv-
ing only one-half shipments, all Of
which come from Oklahoma City,
where apparently the strike has not
affected operations.
The largest shortage is noted on
beef and fresh pork. Salt meat, hams
and cured products which are in the
process of curing will not be at
fected for 80 to 60 days.
This company has a full stock To-
cally with what is considered a two
weeks supply under normal condi-
lions. No shipments are being re-
ceived from the Chicago and Kansas
City plants.
due to the fact that times are
tight and labor is plentiful, look
for a settlement in a few days. when
production should get back to nor
mall" says Mr.. Greene.
Shipments Held Up
Stocks at the Cudahy Packing
company local branch are light, ac-
cording to d. l.. Sanders, manager,
and no shipments have been received
since the effect of the strike first
made itself felt.
No shipments have been made from
wichita, Omaha, Kansas City and
Sioux Falls, from which points Cuda-
by receives it's Birmingham supply.
All that has bee4 received here IS

stock that was in transit at the time
the strike was called.
About a weeks supply of salt and
the fresh stock practically depleted.
Fresh meat, pure lard and pork cuts
are low, as no surplus is carried.

that although he spoke in his native
tongue the hall was swept repeat

style so strongly Characteristic of
British oratory, Arthur ]. Balfour re-
lated why Great Britain was ready
to lay aside her alliance with Japan
to accept place In a broaded circle
of friendly nations and Prince To-
kugawa, speaking for Japan. summed
In few sentences of tersely spoken
English the qualification of his coun-

ready always to keep her word. and
although she knew the price of con-.
fliot, would not hesitate to seal with
blood" any agreement into which she
entered.
Turning to the Anglo Japanese al
lance at the outset of his address,
Mr.. Balfour declared that Great Brit
ain was we'll aware of the suspicion
in America because the two-powered
arrangement had been continued
after the causes for 1t disappeared in
the collapse of Germany and Russia.
But the associations of 20 years, he
continued. were not easily broken,
and that break was compensated only
by the merging of the old relation
ship into one of broader import that
would bring satisfaction to every
part of the empire.
Declarations of Approval
All Japan, Prince Tokugawa said,
would likewise rejoice over the new
arrangement, although he added that
the japanese reciprocated the British
expressions of appreciation over re-
suits of the old alliance. The repre-
sentatives of the other nations con-
fined themselves to simple declara-
ton of approval, except in the case
of China, Minister SEE adding for the
Chinese delegation that 1t was to be
supposed the treaty would be supple
mented by further convention to
which "all the powers, including
China, will be parties"
In outing the scope of the four
power agreement, the spokesman OF
all the participating nations empha-
sized that it is to apply only to the
Pacific islands and in no way to
China or any other part.of the Asiat-
ic mainland.

tions to the governments projected
law providing for the payment OF oil
taxes, was presented to Adolfo de la
Huerta, secretary OF the treasury,
yesterday afternoon. by n committee
representing the Association OF Pro-
ducrs OF Petroleum in Mexico.
Assertion was made by members
Of the committee that II was the most
energetic protest as yet made TO
the government by the association.
The memorandum contained charges
OF "subterfuge" In the designation of
the act and n claim that companies
which export petroleum are subject
to maneuvers which can be arbitrary
on the part OF officials or the en-
ployes OF the secretary OF finance"
II is alleged tho. perfected legislation
would levy upon petroleum taxes
which were cxorbitant and wholly
out of proportion to the value OF the
product. Declaration by the govern
ment that the proposed law would
provide for production tax. was de-
MED by the protest, which asserted
that the only portion OF oil produc-
tion affected by the tax would be that
which includes crude petroleum and
its products exported from Mexico
