? This statement was made Friday in
resolutions adopted by the Chicago
plant conference board and divisional
committee of the Armour plant. Sim
liar resolutions were adopted by Ar
mour plant conferences in other cities,
it was stated
The plant conference board and divis-
ional committee is composed of an
equal number of representatives of
the workers and the packers and is an
organization recently adopted by the
packing plants to handle all the mat
ters affecting employees.
Deny Statements
|. Officials of Armour & company also
denied charges of the unions that the
foremen, superintendents and other Of
ficials who were compelled to follow
1 the wishes of the packers. On the
contrary, the officials asserted, most
of the representative of the workmen
we're union men. OF the 26.O00 Armour
employees, all but 400 are participating
in the plant conferences, it was assert
led.
/ Conflicting reports from the unions
and packers in various parts of the
country today showed wide diver
Igence Of opinion regarding the effective
ness of the coming strike Union Of
ficials assert that between 90 and 90
per cent of their men would walk out
Monday, and continued plans to make
the strike effective.
Representatives of the packers were
inclined not to take the strike serious
u, asserting that the plants would
continue to operate, while some ex-
pressed loubt that the strike would
occur.
Kansas today took measures to pre-
vent the strike when the state attor-
ney general filed complaint in the
Kansas court of industrial relations
against both unions and packers in the
state. asking that action be taken to
prevent the proposed strike.
INDUSTRIAL
COURT MANsFIGHT STRIKE.
Topeka. Kansas, Dec. 2.-The first
move of the Kansas court of industrial
relations to fight the threatened ma
tion-wide packing plant strike insofar
as it affects Kansas, will be made Sat
urday when a preliminary hearing will
be held at Kansas City, Kansas. Six
ty seven union officials, district and
local. have been summoned to appear
The hearing was called following the
filing Of complaint Friday by Rich
ard j, Hopkins. attorney general, in
the court of industrial relations against
the packers and unions and asking i'm
mediate action in an effort to pre-
vent members of the Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America
employed in Kansas. from uniting in the
strike order for next Monday.
Would Hurt State
In setting forth the manner in which
the proposed strike would affect the
public, the petition states that in ad-
dition to the fact that packing plant
meats are consumed by the public, the
plants of the state provide practically
the only market for livestock raised
in the state and that their closing
would close the outlet for one of the
states largest industries.
A section of the industrial court law
provides that strikes may not be called
in industries classed as vital to the
public's welfare.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Unexpected heavy
deliveries on December contracts did a
good deal today to weaken the wheat
market. Prices closed unsettled u cent

S1.13.. and July $1.02M. Corn lost
q a 4 to 4 y and oats 4 to q. In
provisions the outcome varied from un-
changed figures to Is cents decline.
Bearish continent in the wheat mar
ket was manifest at the outset the ef-
feet Of large deliveries here being en-
phasized by liberal receipts at Kansas
City. At first, too, the outlook was for
an increase in the United States visible
supply total. Selling, however, was
checked by the fact that foreign ex-
change was on the up grade, and be-
cause dry weather in the southwest was
again subject Of comment Suisse
quently announcement Of a visible s,iu
ply decrease instead of the increa co
which had been looked for led to a
rally, inasmuch as for the first time the
total was .ess than the amount at the
corresponding time year ago. But the
upturn in values was shortifved conf
dence on the Part Of bulls being further
| undermined by cotton market weakness
due to the government crop report. The
fact that navigation on the Grsa. Lakes
Is officially ended tonight counted surth-
er as a depressing influence st the

Corn and oats were lower as a result

sides, export demand for corn was less
active than has been the rule Of late.

with well earned victory. They defeat
ed the Jeffersons of Hartford by a score
Of to 4, before an audience estimated
at from 1000 to 1900 The Norwich
men did good work and deserved their
victory which would have been more de-
cisive but for Ryan's bad overthrow to
| Hill and an error by w Murphy, both of
which let in runs The Norwich men
lbatted well, Ryan's fwolbagger in the third
inning raising sh butts among TIE specta-
tors that he had won the suit of clothes
offered for a hit over the centerfeld fence,
but when the ball came down II was seen
to fall a score of feet inside the fence.
Moore of the local club made an earned
run in the seventh inning on hit, a
stolen base and hit by Bliss. Moore
pitched the first six innings when Kidd
was sent in who struck out three men in
succession. The game was called in the
seventh to allow the Jeffersons to catch a
