SD LONG AS THE WORLD GOES ON For me no song of robin Need set the world in tune To start my old heart throbbin'
 In early Spring or June; For when l see, a-prancing, Two lovers on their way, My soul begins a-dancing
 And singing all the day. It seems to me no Alden
 Is more complete than this When boy and blushing maiden
 Go strolling on in bliss Along the city's highways,
 Or in the country lane, And down the narrow by-ways,
 In sunshine or in rain. see the ages massing
 Their forces full of love In these, the two now passing,
 Who seem so far above The commonplace surrundings;
 And know such things must be When hearts with hope are pounding
 In fulsome ecstasy. Who hears that old, old story
 That always shall be new Must see the wondrous glory
 That Youth is walking through And so I say no robin
 Need sing for me his tune To set my old heart throbbin'
 While lovers love in June.

Secretary Davis's offer OF personal

cepted by the union leaders, Dennis Lane
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters. and
Butcher Worlxrnen of North America,
sending the following telegram to the
head of the Federal Labor Department:
1T has always been and Is the policy
of our organization to cooperate with all
Governmental agencies. We accept your
tender of services to work out a solution
of the present situation which has been
brought about by the deliberate and ar
bitrary violation and reputation BY the
five big packers of the agreementl now
in existence between your department,
our and other labor organizations ana
the packers.
I'VE note that you specify no date for

that the packers contemplate taking ad-
vantage OF that fact. This and the
other organizations who are parties to
the agreement between your department
and the packers will arrange TO select
representatives 10 attend a conference

1000 cattle on the Chicago market. while
on other days there are as many as

OF a definite number OF hours cannot
meet such conditions There are bound
to be days when employees will work
only a few hours just as there will be
days when they cannot take care OF the
run in eight hours
The basic eight hour day was nor
measure for determining the actual
working hours. II simply served to
penalize work in excess Of eight hours
and provided no Offset for work OF loss
than eight hours. Any adjustment Of
wages that requires extra pay for less
than forty-eight hours work per week
unless that work is performed at unusual
hours-is an unjust tax on the business
which the public eventually has to pay.
"Our plan contemplates giving the
men forty-eight hours work a week.
and docs not contemplate reducing our
present work forces and thereby adding
to the gret numbers of men out OF en-
ployment-"
Meanwhile the strike ballots are on
their way to every local union in the

The statement issued by the packers
makes no mention of the war time arbi-
tration agreement which was cancelled
by them on February &c, and says re-
garding the recently announced reduc-
tions OF wages and readjustment OF
working hours that except through such
measures as we have adopted the pos
sibility OF industrial difficulties that
might close our plants would stare US III
the face" The statement follows:
The nation's insistence on a return
to normal and its refusal to pay war
prices in peace times have cause the
prices our products In the aggregate
to drop TO what are practically prewar
levels. This has forced the price or
live stock down to point which threat
ems the very existence of the live stock
industry. Our own business has been
conducted at a loss for two years, but
all that time our operating expenses
remained at the war time peak. Wage
reductions therefore are not q matter
OF choice-they are essential not only
from the employers standpoint but
from the standpoint of live stock pro-
ducers, who are having TO. bear with
US the losses involved. :

cessity Of wage cuts will not be at issue.
