EMPLOYEES TO

System of Wage.
(Hy AhsOciated Pressl

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Employes OF
Armour & Co., $4,000 in all, today
through their plant governing COM
mittee, agreed with officials of the
packing house that wage reduction
is necessary and fixed its amount.
The cut is effective November %.
This is the first time in the history
of the industry that wage reduc-
ton has been arrived at in such a
manner.
Tonight officials of Swift & Co.,
announced that after an all day con-
ference the representatives, of the
Chicago Assembly of Employees had
voted that readjustment of wages
was necessary, had extended vote
of confidence in the management,
and had voted to leave the wage re-
adjustment to the discretion of the
management.
Reductions for various classes of
employees of the Chicago Assembly
practically corresponding to those
fixed by the employees of Armour &
Co., and effective on the same date,
November %, were then announced
by company officials, who said they
expected the sixteen other assem-
blies of employees to take similar
action.
Employees of Wilson & Co., and the
Cudahy Packing Co., who are holding
conferences, are expected to accept
similar reductions and Morris & Co.
has announced that it will follow the
example of the others. All of the
Big Five, except Morris & Co. last
spring inaugurated the plant gov
ernment system of employees partici-
patton in the management of the
business.

Gainesville, Nov. 18.-Just Wherei
if anywhere, the championship battle

doubt as to whether or not the game

that if Duval wants to play for the

with a resolution which her athletic
director, Prof. Wilbur, had passet at
a recent meeting of the board OF 'on-

Putnam's exhibit at the State Fail

second prize in the special contest
for counties winning 750 points out
of a possible 1000. As this county
did not contest in many depart
ments is is considered a splendid
showing, especially as work of as.
sembling the exhibit was done in
such a short time. Nassau county
was first in the counties whcih did
not have exhibits in all departments

This gives the Putnam exhibit a
prize of $100.
But even better than the general
display was the showing made in the
specials, group No. 3, in which Put
nam won first honors with Dade
county second.
In the county canning club contest
for women Putnam was second to
Leon, due to the extensiveness of the
Leon exhibit prepared under the di-
rect supervision of experts of the
state school department. In the
girls club contest Putnam was third,
Columbia winning first and Taylor
second. Mrs. C. w. Brown won
first prize for canned fish and in the
pickle department Putnam was third.
In the dairy products contest Put
nam won first place for the best ex-
hibit of butter of not less than five
pounds. Duval was second.

FRENCH ARMY STAYED
OFF WAR SINCE PEACE
SIGNED CLAIMS BRAND
This Is Reason France
Feels Need of Large
Armed Force
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. 1S.-War would
have broken out in Europe three or
four times since the signing of the
hrmistice had it not been for the
French army, Premier BRAND de-
clared today in conversation with
American newspaper correspondents.
The French premier was discuss
ing his forthcoming speech Monday
before the third plenary session of
the arms conference, which he said
would not be an oration, but rather
an explanation.
; "I shall ask the American people,"
he said, "to place themselves in the
position of the French people for
three quarters of an hour and sur
yey the European situation as we
see it and feel it."
France does not want large
army any more than you do. We
wish it were possible to reduce it
below the minimum that we now
have in mind, but we must, as we are
alone, secure ourselves France is
not asking for any guarantees; she
is not asking for anything.
"If it were possible for Great
Britain, the United States and Italy
to say if you are attacked we win be
with you then it would be possible
for us to disarm. But if you simply
say do not be afraid, tranquilize
yourselves; no one is going to attack
youfi,' that is not sufficient"

WALLER BELIEVES
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR POTATO YEAR
Hastings Expert Just Re-
turned From Trip to
Eastern Market
EASTERN MARKET HEAVY
Growers Are Turning
Their Crop Aloose
Without Waiting

e. w. Waller, one of the best.
known and most widely experienced
potato growers and dealers in the
Hastings secrion has returned from
a trip to the Maine potato fields
where he carefully observed the con-
dition of the crop and its probable
effect on the market here. He ex-
pressed himself as optimistic over
the prospects of the Hastings Sec
tion for good market in the spring
"In 1920 the potato growers of
Maine held their crops for higher
prices" Mr.. Waller said, "and final
'ly had to dump them at whatever
they could get about the time our
goods went on the market, but this
year they have sold at whatever
prices they could get, statistics show
ing that more potatoes have been
;,ss yssssaa ard si 10 market up to this time Of
However, all potatoes have not
been sent to market, but I believe
that there remains only a sufficient
number to supply the market COM
,fortably until the Hastings potatoes
come in next spring. 1t requires
about 800 cars of potatoes per day
to supply the demand in the larger
cities.
"While the eastern growers were
dumping their crop last spring at
$3.50 per bag of 1870 pounds we were
getting n basis of $1,000, which
shows the attention our potatoes
command on the spring markets.
"The success of next springs crop
all depends upon the quality of the
potatoes, however, there is one thing
that is hopeful, we have our good and
bad years, but in all my experience
with the Hastings deal, we have nev-
err had a complete failure. know
of no other potato section that has
not at one time and another had a
failure. In fact the potato business
has never failed in Hastings nd the
situation at this time for good sue
cess looks very encouraging.
"The cost of production is consid-
erably lower this year and this works
in our favor. We have no opposi-
ton or competition when our pota-
toes go on the market. If we get
the quality that will stand long ship
ments we cannot help but meet sue
cess this time.
"When l hear a man of the streets
crying and cursing the business, an
investigation shows that it is the
man and not the business. If that
man was at home looking after his
crop he would find that he would
meet better success financially. We
certainly have not room for kid glow
ed farmers here, but if man will
work hard and attend to his farm he
will always make good here.
81 find the general opinion is that
the financial condition of the coun-
try will be greatly improved by
spring and this being the case, l Sc
no reason why the Hastings farmer
who applies himself will not make
money this season. Our market is
the world if the quality permits as
there are no other new potatoes on
the market when our cars start roll
ing"
