portions Of her customs duties, it was

Germany has informed the repara-

marks accumulated to meet these pay

The reparations commission has

meeting, and Of these at least so, ac-
cording to the estimates of Arthur
Griffith and his followers, will vote
for the treaty.
There was much unofficial discus
sion among the members of the Dali
Eireann in Dublin today but whatever
differences of opinion prevail, they
do not disturb the good feeling and
there seems to be a determination
on the part of both Sim Feiners and
the government that the truce shall
not be violated. This desire to pre-
serve the utmost friendliness was en-
phasized by Michael Collins in a state
ment to The Associated Press.
The belief seems to prevail in Bel
fast that should the disagreement in
the Sim Fem result in the retire
ment of de Valera, bringing Griffith
to the premiership, with Collins as
finance minister, a convention be-
tween the north and the south would
prove easier.

No HUMILIATION
SEEN IN TREATY

LONDON, Dec. 10-(By the Asso-
ciated ess)-Sir Hamar Greenwood
secretary for Ireland, in an article
appearing in tomorrow's Weekly Dis
patch, says achievement, not humil-
iation. is the note in the treaty of
peace with Ireland for the Irish race
throughout the world"
'It will cement our empire, make
Anglo-American friendship perma-
nent and remove from international
affairs a persistent challenge to Brit
ish prestige and strength" he says.
Sir Hamar SAYS ''the Irish policy
from start to finish was that of the
WHOLE cabinet" adding that the estab
lishment of the parliament of notrh-
ern Ireland was IAN indispensable
preliminary to settlement of the
whole question and to ultimate unity
of Ireland"
He praises Sir James Craig's cour-
age in making one of the first ges-
lures for peace in meeting Eamonn
de Valera in Dublin last May.
1T now remains for the Irish peo-
pie of the south and the north to set
tie among themselves the future of
their own country" he concludes.

ously inconvenienced. 1t is our ex-
pectation that we will be operating
in normal manner within a week
"The reduction in output of the
past week has had little effect on the
prices other than for fresh pork pro-
ducts which always are particularly
sensitive to conditions of supply and
demand. Throughout the country as
a whole, fresh pork prices have not
advanced materially. but in Chicago
and such other cities as are ordinarily
supplied in large part by local pack
ing plants, there have been price
changes. Obviously, the best way for
the public to meet this situation is to
favor other meat products whicr are
less perishable. Carcass beef, for
instance, has fluctuated only l IL
cents a pound. and veal. mutton, poul
try, ETC.. have not been seriously af-
fected."

Roy Gardner Jury Locked Up For Night
CLAIMING MAJORITY
OF WORKERS APPROVED WAGE
REDUCTION, REJECT MEDIATION

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-(By the Asso'
ciated Press)-The strike of packing
house employees cannot be settled by
arbitration, Arthur Meeker, vice pres
ident of Armour & Company, declar-
ed tonight in statement outlining
the situation.
He declared that the packers had
agreed with their employees over
wages through the employe represen-
tation plan and that, consequently,
there were no differences between
the packers and their men.
1.-The few workers who have walked
out can do as they please" he said.
"The gseat bulk of the employees are
well satisfied and have remained 10y
al. These are the men we are inter-
ested in. and, since there is no need
for arbitration where there is no dis
pute, naturally we are not seeking an
arbitrator"
Meeker was approached today by
government agents seeking to settle
the strike. They were plainly told
that the packers took the attitude
that there was nothing to arbitrate.
There is no occasion for discussing
arbitration between meat packing
concerns and those few of the men
who have left their jobs" Meeker's
statement said.
"Our plants were able to operate
at about 80 per cent of normal dur
ing the past week, and there is no in

WASHINGTON, Dec 1O-(By the

opposition IN the senate to ratifica-
tion of the four powers pact treaty
developed shortly after the new pact
was announced at the arms confer
ence.
Senator Reed, Democrat of Mis-
souri,, an ''irreconcilable" in the long
fight against the treaty or Versailles
in a statement, denounced the new
understanding as "treacherous, trea-
sonable and damnable,". and predict
ed there will be a fight and a hot
one"
Other senators of the irreconcilable
group, for the most part, withheld
comment but, speaking privately, in
dicated an unfriendly attitude toward
the treaty. Senator Borah of Idaho,
leading Republican, irreconcilable,
was one of those declining to COM
ment
Republicans generally, however,
predicted ratification. by an over
whelming vote, and n this fction

ed by a number of Democrats, i'm

of instances said they did not attach
the Importance to the document as a
peace measure that was claimed in
Republican quarters, and described it

differed but little from Article X of

Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
one of the Democratic spokesmen in
the senate, in his comment, said:
The best parts of the treaty are
