not the fault of the county board or

largely the fault of the land owners

place that cotton will rust on has

How's Your Expansive Force.

A cubic inch of air under pressure
with the pressure removed would till q
roOm,-with the room removed, would fill
a house,-with the house removed, would
fill an unreasonable. and to the extent of
our knowledge, an unguessable space. \
lot of us think our cubic inch is rather
confirming and are quite certain of our
expansive powers Yet. when the time
comes, and the larger opportunity is
given, as like as not, instead of thoroughly
disseminating ourselves throughout the
larger sphere of activity, we fly to pieces,
with much damage to ourselves and the

The expansion of air is due to inherent
elasticity, but the expansion of our men.

We must have sufficient knowledge and
experience before we can successfully ex-
pand. Look to it.--Paul Hayden, in New

Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen of North America viii lose

Inns statement was made yesterday in
resolutions adopted by the Chicago
plant conference board and divisional
committee of the Armour plant. Similar
resolutions were adopted by Armour plant
conferences in other cities, it was stated.
The plant Conference board and divi-
SIGNAL committee is composed of an equal
number of representatives of the work
men and the packers and is the organiza-
ton recently adopted by the packing
plants to handle all matters affecting the
employees.
Conflicting reports from the unions and
packers in various parts of the country
showed D wide divergence of opinion re-
garding the effectiveness of the coming
strike. Union officials asserted that be-
tween 80 and % per cent of their men
would walk out Monday and continued
plans to make the strike effective.

CUTS SHOE WORKERS WAGE.
Arbitration Board In New York Also
Orders Reduction for Next May

NEW YORK. Dee. 3.-An immediate
cut of 10 per cent in the wages or Iz,UUJ
New York city shoe workers. and addi-
tional cuts of from l to per cent to take
effect May /, 1922, was announced yester-
day by the board of arbitration chosen
by the American shoe workers protective
union and the Shoe Manufacturers
Board of Trade of Greater New York.
The immediate reduction would mean
a saving of 100000 labor cost to 40 ON
ploying firms, which have an annual pay
roll exceeding S9,000,000. 60
The reductions were opposed by labor
representatives before the board of ar
bitration on the ground that economic
conditions, We're not, favorable to lower
salaries. The manufacturers. ,contended
that every element of cost had been de-
fiated except that of labor, and that the
10 per cent reduction was in proportion
to the decline In living costs.
