manent Arbitrator; Cabinet
Silent on Conference.
SETTLEMENT THOUGHT NEAR
By Associated Iress to Every Ever


Washington, March % the cabi-
ret assembled today to consider the CON
troversy between the meat packers and
their employees. there were reports that
a tentative agreement was being ap-
preached
one plan being considered was that
the wage reductions which Went into
effect yesterday should stand that the
packers agree To extend the Alschuler
agreement providing for settlement of
differences by a permanent arbitrator
and that the eight hour day be agreed
upon subject to peculiar conditions OBJ
tanning in the packing industry.
Parties TO the conferences which have
been conducted with Secretaries Davis.
Hoover and Wallace refused 10 discuss
the reports and cabinet officials main
tained silence.
1t was said. however. that a pros
pcct Of tentative agreement had re-
suited from private conferences held by
the cabinet officers last night with the
packers representatives and by Secre-
tary Davis this morning with the
spokesmen for the workers
The conference this morning followed
one last night al which Secretaries
Davis. Hoover and Wallace heard
further arguments by the spokesmen
for the packers. Later coueiliators of
.ht. y, partment Of Labor we're called in
hy the Cabinet officers but only Secre-
cary Davis met today with the union
officials.
The Controversyit is understood
ccntered largely around the war time
agreement as 10 wages and working
conditions.
The controversy ii is understood
to be effective for one year after the war
ended, while the contention of the pack
ers is reported To be that the war actu-
ally has ended. and the agreement
therefore is no longer In effect.
