Chicago - While reports of minor
disturbances and some interruption of
work resulting from the strike of pack.
ing house workers came from St. Paul,
Kansas City, Denver and other cities,
the first day of the strike passed quiet
ly in Chicago with apparently little
effect upon normal operations.
Leaders of the Butcher Workmen's
union announced hat more than H.
900 workers employed ny the big
Five" in Chicago had walked out and
10000 in centers outside of Chicago.
Two Apply for Every Vacancy.
Employers said that fewer than
LOO Of the more than 10000 employed
in Chicago had failed to report and
there were two applications fer every
vacancy.
A few of the 10 independent plants
here which had not adopted the 10
per cent wage reduction, given as the
cause of the strike by union leaders,
were not affected, but some o. them
were almost completely tied up.
Representative of the packers con-
tended the wage issue IS not 1n"OIVed
in the strike, but it is an effort to de-
stroy their shop representation plan
adopted after Federal Judge Alschler's
term as arbitrator expired Sept. 1.
Pickets Withdrawn.
Groups of strikers at Kansas City,
Kan, were informed by the mayor and
chief OF police that state police would
be called out on request Of the Kansas
industrial court if the Kansas law pro-
hibiting picketing was violated. Lead
ers of the strikers then urged the pick
cts to dispense and stay away from the
packing plants. Members of the in
dustrial court then intimated that If
there were no disorders no drastic &C.
tion would be taken against the strike
leaders who had refused to appear be-
fore the court before the strike went
into effect
In Denver the packing plants were
almost completely tied up by the walk
out. At Omaha one worker was. at
tackled by strike sympathizer, but
no other disorder was reported there.

THAT MARION ELECTION

Senator Pat Harrison, one Of the

man in Congress, could not resist COM
menting on the late election in Mar

and Col. Harvey. He said:
"a little while ago, there was an
election in New Mexico and next day

have not heard Republicans saying
anything about the election the other

famed now throughout the world for
having during the last, presidential
campaign entertained Al Jolson, the
black-face comedian, and other actors
and great baseball players, whose ex-
penses were paid by Mr.. Wrigley, the
chewing gum man, who contributed
liberally to the Republican campaign
fund and offered to the Republican
campaign committee last year all the
electric signs in all the cities to be
transformed from "Wrigley's" to

Where the Farmer Suffers

Where the Farmer Suffers
The price of farm products are down,
close to the 1914 level. That would
= be fine if other commodities were down
in proportion.
But high wages still prevail in the
cities in all lines. This means that the
manufacturer and wholesaler must con-
tinue to charge the country merchant
high prices for his goods.
The country merchant in turn must
"charge the farmer in proportion to
what he himself pays to the manufac-
turer or wholesaler.
Very simple and easily understood,
but anything but satisfactory to the
farmer.
Speed up the Christmas shopping if
you would enhance the Christmas
cheer.

THE RETURN OF SPECIAL PRIVI
5s T:EHE

&c. IGGG -
As an incident bearing upon the
question of the re-establi shment OF
special privilege at the national capital
with the return Of the Republican
party to power, the Philadelphia Public
Ledger in recent Washington spe-
cial, announces the 7 presence at the
Capital of w. w. Atterbury, vice-presi-
dent and general manager Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and boldly dis
closes the purpose of his visit as
follows:
t!The selection of citizens of Penn
sylyania to fill vacancies on the Inter-
State Commerce Commission was dis
cussed today by w. w. Atterbury,
vice-president and general manager OF
the Pennsylvania system, and Senator
Penrose. The senator said while no
definite recommendations were made
by Mr.. 1Atterbury, several names were
discussed as eligible.' -
The Harrisburg Patriot, which tor
many years has sturdily combatted
special privilege at the national CAPT
tai and in the state Of Pennsylvania,
thus comments upon this incident:
"The audacity of the thing is re-
vealed with the knowledge that the
commission will pass on rates and sim
liar questions in which Mr.. Atterbury 8
railroad will be interested. In other
words, it looks as though prospective
litigant is to be granted the right to
suggest the judge who will sit over his
case. ~
After calling attention to the aetivi-
ties of Mr. Atterbury in the last he
publican national convention and sup
port Of the ticket named there, the
Patriot continues:
"This development ought to have
a vivid interest for American citi-
zens everywhere. Its brazen, almost
impudent character, indicates how de-
termined the Republican organization
is to repay it's debts to the interests
which stand by in times of political
emergency y
1t has heretofore been the established
policy Of the Republican party to work
in the dark; it, was the originator OF
invisible government but the majority
it received in the last presidential cleo
ton has emboldened it to come out in
the open. Special privilege and the
spoils system are being ostentatiously
re-enthroned and Hannaism is revived
and crowned under the name of Hard
ingism and Penroseism. Will the
people submit to this phase of 'Nor-

Washington-Presid Harding has
proposed to congress definite and
comprehensive program for restoring
the United States to normally.
Speeding up of plans to put Amer
lea again in a sound normal basis is
Americas best contribution to world
wide restoration, the president said,
with representatives of all the world
powers here for the arms conference
in the galleries. of the house. II.
President Harding informed congress
in his first annual; message that "A
most gratifying. world accomplish
ment," by the arms conference 'is not
improbable The message was deliver
ed by the president in person in the
chamber of the house and in-the pres
ence of the delegates to the conference
and most of the diplomats regularly
stationed in Washington.
At the outset, the president dis
cussed world conditions, saying "A
world restoration program" would
have to be worked out ''by the nations
more directly concerned" the United
States will help, he added, unselfishly
because there is compensation in the
consciousness of assisting; selfishly
because the commerce and interna-
tional exchanges in trade, which
marked our high tide of fortunate ad-
vancement, are possible only when the
nations of aQ continents are restored
to stable order and normal relation!

Turning to domestic problems, the
president urgently recommended early
enactment Of. the permanent tariff and
