PACKERs PETITION FOR A
 REDUCTION IN WAGES

Chicago, June IA petition asking a reduction of wages of nearly 100, 900 em- ployes in the meat packing industries was filed today with Judge AlschuIer of the United States district court by the allied packing interests. Judge Alschuler is the official arbitrator agreed upon by em- ployers and employees under a continual ton of wartime agreement.
 The petition asked that the wages of hour workers be reduced five cents an hour and that the same proportionate re- duction also be applied to piece workers rates. The petition cited as reasons the changed working condition the unemploy- ment situation and the fact that the packers are not earning profit. It was expected that hearing would be held the latter part of the week.
 The petition asked that 9 full hearing be held before June 19 and that the re- auctions be made retroactive to that date in case the hearing is not completed.
 Relief from the penalties imposed. on the packers in the form of working hour restrictions also was asked. With the present eight hour day in force, it was explained, the packers were guaranteeing forty hours of work per week and paying over time after eight hours, 1t was sug- gested that this be changed to a guaran- tee of AS hours work per week and the agreement obliging them to pay over time after eight hours in any one day be abolished.
 In their petition the pockers declare that despite the last wage cut and reduc- tion of their forces they have continued to operate at a loss and that they cannot continue to exist under present condi- tions.

HOUSE TO FIGHT BoRAH
 DISARMAMENT AMENDMENT

Washington, June 7.-The house paved the way today for it's fight to strike the Borah disarmament amendment from the naval appropriation bill.
 In sending the bil to conference by a vote of 252 to 110, republican leaders in dicated that the house would not have an opportunity to vote directly on the Borah amendment.
 Instead. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the republican leader, an- nounced that he would advocate accept ance as a substitute of the Porter resoiu- tion, reported by the foreign affairs com mittee, which would leave entirely in the hands of President Harding the question of calling an international disarmament conference.
 Two of the senate conferees, Chairman Poindexter of the naval committee and Senator Hale of Maine, as well as MT. Mondeu, saw the president today. They declined, however. to say what phase. if any, of the disarmament fight had been 1 discussed.
 | While there was a sharp difference ot | opinion on the Borah amendment, the house seemed united in it's determination not to accept any part of the S9S. 900 ,0OC added to the naval bill by the senate. l Representative Burton of Ohio, for mer senator, leading the fight for holding the total to the sum fixed by the house | declared the people looked to the latter l body to remove the heavy tax burdens ] against which the country was crying
 The Porter resolution was attacked by democrats, Representative Pou, Nortf i! Carolina, characterizing it as "a golC
 brick" while Representative Connally Texas, democratic member of the foreigT affairs committee, declared it a "colorlesi one-half of one-per cent. proposition, with i out teeth or whiskers."

BAILEY WHITE FEUD IS
 RENEWED IN KENTUCKY

Louisville, Ky, June 7.-Reports reach ed here today that the Bailey-White feud had broken out afresh in the vicinity of Barbourville, Ky, and that one man had been killed.

Italian Immigrants
 Held on Steamers
Nearly 1,5OO Marooned at
 New York Because June
 Quota Has Been Exceeded.

New York, June 7.-Nearly 1,5Oo Italian immigrants tonight were marooned on steamers here because their country's June quota under the new restrictive inn migration law had been exhausted.
 Commissioner of Immigration Wallis said he feared that this congestion would lead to an epidemic of sickness, as well as great discomfort, unless congress enacted emergency legislation.
 He said that at a series of conferences with Secretary of Labor Davis and Com missioner General of Immigration Illus band it had been decided to recommend receiving all Italian immigrants now at this port and fning any steamship line that brought more immigrants than could be landed under the new law. These fines it was suggested would equal the fare paid by each excess passenger.
 Commissioner Wallis advocated deduct ing the excess number of immigrants now here from Italy's July quota of S.40o.
