DAVIS FORCES PACKERS
HAND ON WAGE
DISCRIMINATION

WASHINGTON, April 6.-What
appears to be the initial assurance OF
the attitude of the Harding admin
istration toward the colored race
came from the Secretary of Labor
when he appeared as the champion OF
the Negro workers in the stockyards
at Chicago. When the conference of
employees called by Secretary Davis
to meet with representatives OF the
packers to confer over the labor crisis
that was threatened in the packing
industry met here, it was brought out
that the colored employees engaged
in the same work in the yards were
receiving about 80 per cent less than
those of the other race. This fact
was soon made apparent as the con-
ference progressed and Immediately
the Secretary took the high and just
position that this discrimination was
un-American and that labor is worthy
of its hire and equable consideration
without regard to color.
The Secretary's contention was in
sistently and firmly made and finally
prevailed, and as a result there will
in the future be no deferentials in
the compensation of labor for similar
service in the stockyards. This will
be hailed with very great hopeful
ness by the colored people engaged in
gainful occupations throughout the
country, as the practice of discrimina-
!! ton in wages against colored work
men prevails in many industries.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April g.
Her deep interest in the Bible came
near causing the death Of Mrs. Mary
Shepard, 81 w. Vermont street, when
she was attacked and almost fatally
stabbed by her husband, John Shepard,
who is 25 years old.
John Shepard entered his home about
7:30 Sunday night, and found his wife
reading the Bible. So interested was
she that she did not hear him enter,
nor did she reply to any of his ques-
tions. AT this Shepard became en-
ragged, drew his knife, and attacked
her. She fled into the street, followed
by her enraged husband
Patrolman J. De Rosette appeared
on the scene and probably saved Mrs.
Shepard's life, but not until her hus-
band had stabbed her five times about
the shoulders and bust.
Shepard was put under arrest with
out resistance.
Mrs. Shepard was placed in the City
Hospital. Physicians say she will re-
