leaders representing more than 100,-
900 workers in the packing industry

ing filled their warehouses, they
want a sixty day shutdown so that
they. can unload this supply on the
public at high prices" the employees
representatives said that the workers
were prepared to oppose "the restor-
alton of the ten hour day to the last

In discussing the announced wage
reductions which approximate u 10
per cent, Dennis Lane, of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers union, said that this cut
would work against the old employees
and would eventually amount to
about 40 per cent.
The packers are trying to take on
the new help at the 30 cents an hour
rate, he said. This is a reduction of
% cents and makes a reduction of 40
per cent. The packers are contem-
plating taking on as much help at the
80 cent rate as possible and then
laying off the older help. The older
help will then be re-employed but at
the new scale.
The packers, however, declared
that despite the lower rate to be paid,
the employees would probably earn as
much or more than they did under
the present wage scale, and insisted
that the adjustment of working
hours did not mean the return to the
10 hour day. but only that excess pay
would not be made except for time
over the ten hours.

LARGE STOCKS
OF GRAIN Held
Over Half of Country's Corn
Crop of Last Year Re-
mains on Farms.
lRx The Associated Press. .

WASHINGTON, March S.--Larger
stocks of grain were held on farms
March 1 this year than on that date
in any other year in history. Wheat
was the only exception, the holding in
1916, the year following the only bill
lion bushel crop, having exceeded this
years holding by 37,000,000 bushels.
Almost half of the countrys record
corn crop of last year remained on
farms AIarca /, more than a quarter
of the wheat crop and almost half of
the large crop of oats, according to
the department of agriculture's esti-
mates, announced today.
The large crops of last year and de-
creased grain prices are believed to
be largely responsible for the heavy
holdings of farmers. Holdings of corn
were more than a half-million bushels
larger than a year ago, while wheat
holdings were about 43,000,000 bushels
more.
With a few exceptions, the principal
wheat producing states were holding
larger stocks on farms than a year
ago.

Senator Penrose said that the drift of

to an agricultural tariff. 1t is the

BERLIN PAPERS
Are OPTIMISTIC
Advise the Populace to Meet
Coming Events With
CompOsure.
(By The Associated Press)

BERLIN, March S. The Berlin
newspapers today discuss quietly the
breaking off of the London reparations
negotiations. They are very unani-
nous in describing the enforcement of
the penalties as a violation of the
Versailles peace treaty. AT the same
time they advise the populace to meet
coming events with composure.
The Deutsche Aligemeine Zeitung,
organ of Hugo SHINES, the capitalist,
says:
"Germany's proposals We're rejected
with cold scorn before the allies took
the trouble to examine them in de-
tail. The French now have the OPP
portunity, under pretext of enforcing
the penalties, of taking possession of
Germany's coal, settling themselves
in the Ruhr region and taking the first
steps in their plans of destruction.
But they soon will learn that these
measures are of as little use to them
as the rest of civilization. Germany
can confidently await the tide of
events, relying on the righteousness
of her cause"
