Ten Allied Meat Workers
Unions Ballot on Walk-0ut.
Crisis in, Packing Industry
Rapidly Approaching.

Chicago, March 16.-BaIIoting in
the national referendum of packing
house employees began here today.
While members of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher workmen
were voting or preparing to vote on a
strike ten allied unions having mem
Der employees in the packing houses,
were comforting on the question of a
simultaneous strike.
The stockyards were quiet today but
1000 workers descended upon a union
headquarters on the south side last
night and their demands to vote be-
came so insistent that the ballot boxes
were opened, the vote today was said
to be orderly and packers officials
professed no great uneasiness over the
situation.
A conference between the "a Re
publicans of Armour G. Co. employees
pany was held this morning to outline
the preliminaries of the company's s
proposed industrial democracy plan.
Final returns given out by the COM
pany showed that 3.9S7 out of 5,724
packing house workers, voted on the
plan yesterday. Union officers esti-
mated that 1000 men were out of
work today as the result of the clos
ing of eight of the smaller packing
plants Monday.
The controversy between packers
and their employees rapidly drew to-
ward a climax today. Developments
were:
1. Taking of strike vote among butch
ers and meat cutters.
2. Meeting of representatives of all union
employees of packing companies to consider
a walkout of all trades employed by pack
ers in sympathy with the butchers and
meat cutters if they strike.
s. Closing down OF independent packing
companies in stockyards districts in view
Of the unsettled conditions"
f. Arrangements continued for media
ton conference in Washington with govern
ment officials.
About 1000 men were thrown out of
work by the closing down of the small
independent companies. The layoff,
officers said, was due to the strike
talk unsettled market conditions and
especially declining prices for meat
products and lack of demand.

Adjournment Senate.

With the appropriation bills for the
state court of industrial relations, the
executive and administrative officers
of the state, and the fight on the ap-
preparation for the salaries of the
public utilities commission still to be
settled, with a dozen minor bills on
the calendar and the consolidation bill
still in the hands of the committee on
agriculture, Senator Charles Snyder,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, declared this morning that it
was a physical impossibility for the
senate to finish its work tonight, at
the time set for adjournment. He did
not suggest just how the difficulty
is to be met.
Senator Price disagreed with the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, and charged that the delay
on the appropriation bills is the re-
suit of political machine work which
is trying to frame up a consolidation
measure to be forced thru at the last
moment"
Senator Price also questioned the
motives of the governor. whose ap-
pointments have not yet reached the
senate for confirmation, tho this is
the last day of the session. He said:
THE governor is disregarding the in
tent of the law which says that the
appointments are to receive consldera-
