CHICAGO PACKER employees VOTE STRIKE 100 TO |

Chicago. ILL.,, March 1s.-By vote
of Il, 4S2 to 207 union workers in Chi
cago packing plants went on record
today in favor of a strike IL they are
unable to induce the packers to main
tain the eight hour work day
Tclcgraphic reports at union head
quarters were said to indicate sim
liar strike majorities in other pack
ing house ccntcrs thruout the country.
Tho exact wording of the ballot on
which the workers voted follows:
DO YOU favor and authorize n strike
in the event that the government or
our organization is unable to induce
the packers TO maintain the eight hour
work day and compliance with the
agreement entered intU with the Uni
ted States department of labor
The agreement referred to was
wartime ruling which submitted all
WACO and hour disputes between the
packers and their employees to a fed
cral arbitrator, Judge Samuel Alschuer
having occupied the position during the
war period The packers withdrew
from the agreement on February 26 on
the ground that the war was over. The
agreement specified that it was to re-
main in force until one year after the
end OF the war The unions claim that
the war has not officially ended.
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-03-19

After withdrawing from the agree
ment the packers announced wage re-
ductions of from 121A to 10 per cent and
changed the work day from eight hours
to ten hours before overtime was paid.
They also announced plans by which
the workers would participate in the
control Of plant affairs, Armour and
company having held an election this
week at which their men elected rep
rcsentatives Ito an industrial democ-
racy."
The plan was assailed by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation OF Labor, and union lead
crs, as an effort to divert attention
from an attack designed to destroy the
unions. This was denied by the pack
ers.
Tho present strike ballot. 1t was said
by union leaders. is worded in such
way as to mako 1t possible for the
strike to be averted at the packer-labor
conference called by Secretary of La
Dor Davis to meet in Washington on
Monday.
The union leaders take the position
that IL the packers refuse either to re-
store the former wage scale and hours
or to submit the whole disagreement to
the federal arbitrator. the officials of
the union will be forced to order
walkout.

[AB0R'S FIGHT STARTS
BEFORE RAILROAD BOARD
Jewell Lays Before Hearing Eleven Points of Labor's
Program Digging Into Records Of
Rail Executives

Chicago, Ill, March 1S.-Union labor
leaders delved into the records of the
Association of Railway Executives to-
day before the. railroad labor board in
an endeavor to show that the rail-
roads fight against national agree
ments was not unanimous but was
dominated by a few officials An un-
derlying purpose to establish the open
shop and crush labor organization was
declared to be behind the fight of the
association against national boards OF
adjustment.
The controversy over these boards in
the associations labor committee was
brought out by cross examination of
T Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the as
sociation and his assistant Robert $.
Binkerd, and the introduction of vol
luminous correspondence and reports
of the committee into the labor board
record.
Today's proceedings marked the be-
ginning of labor's main fight for con-
tinuance of the national rules and
working agreements now in effect, the
justness and reasonablesness of which
the board is now trying TO decide in
hearings which began January 10.
A basic program of eleven points on
which labor would be willing to nego-
tiate national agreements was laid be-
dent of the railway employees associa-
tion of the American Federation of La
Dor.
Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the un-
ions followed with an exhaustive cross
examination of Mr.. Binkerd and Guy
Ter. He read in full the majority and
minority reports of the association
labor committee concerning nationa
boards OF adjustment. His examina-
ton however drew forth little on the
question of national agreements.
The asocia tons labor committee was
the outgrowth OF the transportation
act. according to testimony of Mr.
Binkerd, brought out in the cross ex-
animation and was designed to deal
with labor disputes. .
Records brought by Mr. Binkerd were
read to show that divided opinion
concerning national boards of ADJUST
ment had existed in the committee.
AS a result of u bipartisan board
appointed at the suggestion of former
President Wilson in. March 1920. tn
national boards of adjustment create;
under federal control were continue
