ter of the wheat crop and almost half
of the large crop of 1919, according
to the department of agriculture es-
Inmates announced today.

creased grain prices are believed to
be largely responsible for the heavier

holdings were about 100000 bushels
more.
Iowa, premier corn state. had 100,-

to Confer at Omaha

4. Chicago, Mar. S-Union leaders
representing more than 100000
workers in the packing industry in
all parts of the country, left for
Omaha tonight to attend a two-day
meeting which opens there tomor-
row to consider the decrease in
wages and readjustment of working
hours which were announced by the
packers today to become effective
March II.
Charging the packers were trying
to force a national strike because,
having forced live stock prices to the
lowest level in years, and having
filled their warehouses, they want a
60 day shut down so that they can
unload this supply on the public at
high prices" the employees represent

prepared to fight "the restoration
of the 10 hour day to the last ditch
In discussing the announced wage
reductions which appreciate IL 10
per cent. Dennis Lane of the ANAL
gamated meat cutters and butchers
union said that this cut would work
, against the old employees and would
eventually amount to about 40 per
cent.
1.-THE packers are trying to take
on the new help at 30 cents an
hour" he said. This is a reduction
Of 23 cents, and makes a reduction
of 40 per cent. The packers are
contemplating on taking on as much
help at the 80 cent rate as possible
and then laying off the older help.
The older help will then be re-em-
ployed but at the new SCALE"
The packers, however, declared
that despite the lower rates to be
paid, the employees would probably
earn as much or more than they
did under the present wage scale and
insisted that the adjustment of
working hours did not mean the re-
turn to the 10 hour day, but only
that excess pay would not be made
except for time over the 10 hours.
We are in complete sympathy with
the short work day and fair wage
theories and our problem Is to at
tune these theories as nearly as
possible to the actualities which we
encounter in dealing with producers
and consumers" said a statement
issued by ]. Ogden Armour, head Of
Armour & Company.
