Chicago-Quickly following their
abrogation Of an agreement with
workers, to which the government was
a party to, the big five" meat pack
ers announce a 121a per cent wage
reduction and longer hours.
Under the agreement any change
in working conditions had to be pass
ed upon by Federal Judge Alschuler,
who was selected BY the national
council of defense in 1913 to act as
arbitrator until peace was declared.
In April, 1919, the packers asked
Secretary of Labor Wilson to extend
the agreement one year after peace
was declared They said they were
mpelled to take this action in order
to avoid labor controversies and to
promote the general welfare during
the troublous period Of reconstruc-
ton"
Under this agreement the arbitra-
tion machinery functions until one
year after peace is officially declared
by the United States This is the
packers own proposal Now they re-

/. ject it and announce war on their en-
ployes
Their first step is to smash the
arbitration machinery created by the
government by giving notice to the
United States department of labor
that in the future they would not
submit to the jurisdiction of Judge
Alschuler as administrator.
The packing house barons have
not only struck blow at arbitration
but they have shaken the confidence
Of the 100000 employees in this indus
try and all other workers ia the eff
cacy Of governmental agencies" de-
clared Dennis Lane, secretary-treas-
urer Of The Amaleamated Meat Cut
ters' and Butcher Workmen's Union.
What 40 you suppose enters into
the mind Of the worker who stayed on
the Job for 40 cents an hour during
the war period, and who never receiv-
ed more than SO cents an hour in the
high wage period of 1919 to 1920, be-
cause he Loyalty kept his agreement
with the government not to strike,
but arbitrate, nov when the packers
disregard the government and at
tempt to cut wages and lcngthen
hours Does it increase his respect
for government, law or order? Will
he or other workers ever again take
kindly to arbitration?
AS recently as last August two Of
our local unions in the sausage-mak-
ing plants in this city went on strike
and the packers Immediately request
ed the secretary Of labor to urge them
to return to work and maintain their
agreement Our international union
ordered these men back to work on
penalty of revocation OF charter in
order to sustain our agreement with
the government. The labor market
was in our favor then and we could
have won that strike, secured large
increase in wages and other conces-
sions
Keep in mind that August, 1920,
was almost two years after signing
of the armistice, yet the packers
then, with the existing labor market,
did not plead that the agreement
should be set aside because the sign
ing of peace with Germany had long
been deferred"

packers asked for an extension of the
agreement, in 1919, their employees

WAGE REDUCTIONS
Claimed BY Anti-Unionists
All Fake

West Palm Beach, Fla.-Anti-union-
lists in this city have been trapped in
the old game of announcing that
unionists in other localities are vol
UNFAIRLY reducing wages, and then
asking why local unionists do not do
likewise.
In this case Miami trade unionists
were advertised as taking such vol
untary action. The local unionists
made inquiries of the Miami building
trades council, and were informed by
President Strom of that body that the
statement is a plain lie !"
AS our people are not idiots,
writes the Miami unionist, they are
perfectly aware that the obstruction
to building activity is lodged solidly
behind two rocks One is the specu-
lation in land that places a heavy
penalty on the home builder and the
other is the lumber trust The cost
of labor is dwindled into insignifcance
beside these two gratis
There is neither excuse nor prob
ability that any such action will be
taken by organized labor Unorgan-
ized labor Of course, will always
have to take anything that is offered

were not anxious to accept the plan.
About 90 per cent of these workers
are classed as "unskilled. Then they
were receiving but 40 cents an hour,
and they knew that with the condi-
tion Of the laoor market favorable to
them they could, through their eco
nomic power, secure substantial con-
cessions from the packers
We listened. however, to the appea'
Of the government" SAID Secretary
Lane, that we continue to submit to
arbitration and renew our agreement
with the department of labor for the
period requested by the packers, one
year after peace had been signed, and
we did agree and sien such an agree
ment
If the packers had any sense Of
justice and deceney in their attitude
toward their employees, and sincerely
believed that reduction in wages
and any changes in hours or working
conditions were justihable because Of
a changed economic situation, they
would and could have made use Of
the arbitration machinery under the
Alschaler agreement by filing a pc
tition for 9 hearing and decision Oh
such matters That was the orderly
procedure they were morally obliged
to follow under their agreement with
the government.
There was no penalty clause at
tached to this agreement, but what
care the packing houses for moral
obligations ,"

CUTTING WAGES
No Solution of Building
Problem

Minneapolis Wage cuts will not
stimulate building industry, accord
ing to a statement issued by Electrical
Workers Union No. 292, in reply to a
demand by contractors that rates be
reduced 20 per cent.
The proposed downward revision of
wage scales, says the statement,
would not appreciably stimulate
building, because the prevailing stag
nation in the construction industry
is principally due to financial strin-
gency With interest rates at their
present high level, it argues, building
enterprises are less attractive to in
vestors than speculative propositions.
In consequence money to finance con-
struction is hard to get.
1t is further contendel that, in any
case, labor costs make up a smaller
proportion OF building costs than is
generally believed Construction au-
thorities are cited to support the as
sertion that labor costs average only
81 1-3 per cent of the total It is
therefore argued that a 20 per cent
reduction in wages would not affect
the total expense sufficiently to cause
any noticeable stimulus to building,
especially in veiw of the fact that ar
bitrary wage cutting would mean de-
creased efficiency

CHILD SLAVERY
In New Zealand Protested

Auckland, New Zcaland.-Trade
unionists are protesting against recent
child labor legislation that amounts
to virtual child slavery in this coun-
try. Under this measure boy immi-
grants from England between the
ages of Is and 19 may be indentured
to the occupation of farming The
contracts may be drawn up in Great
Britain prior to emigration and need
not contain the name of the future en-
ployer. When the boy arrives here
he can be assigned by the minister
for immigration It is not necessary
for parent or guardian to sign or
agree to the lndenture.
The act is an invitation to boys to
run away from their homes and 5e
smuggled TO this country They shall
receive no wages for the first IL
months After II months the wage
shall be such as is usually paid on
farms to boys of the age and capacity
