.July Fourth, our Nations birthday
hos ever been a day of celebration
I'D festivities, ever since with the
a;ooinp Of the Declaration Of lndep-
ondence. our forefathers started II
America a new system of govern
ment.
II has been some time since an
elaborate celebration of this ami
versary has been attempted in this
c;tv but this year all Iberians will
have an opportunity of keeping the
dav in a fitting manner without go
ING away from home to do so.
All over the country the American
Legion posts are planning big cele-
brations. and New Iberia is not N
exception to the rule.
For several weeks the officers and
members of the local Post have been
talking over details and making ar
rangements for their all day pro-
gram. And from what we can gather
a list of events has been arranged
that will afford amusement for young
and old in a measure never attempt
ed here before.
The days events will open with a
grand spectacular street parade, in
which every organization is invited
to participate. The Legion is hoping
that this will be the longest parade
ever staged on the streets Of our city.
A special feature will be a division
of decorated automobiles, and any,
body who wishes to is invited to ent-
er his car. Several cars will be need
ed to convey the Confederate Veter-
ans, and it should be considered a
great honor for any person to have
the privilege of carrying some of the
heroes of the great Lost Cause
through our city.
The American Legion is becoming
an important factor in the. Nations
life, and the members are always
ready to handle any troublesome sit
uation, and ever willing to guard the
community's interests from whatever
danger may arise.
We should all therefore rally to
the support of this organization in
their efforts to make a never-t -to-be-
forgotten event of their Fourth of
July celebration.
In several of the towns surrounding
New iberia there will be similar
events on the Fourth, but of course

ARMOURS FIND NO
NEED TO ARB|TRA7E
Meeker Tells U. S. Agents
Packers Strike Affects
Few Workers.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 1e.-The strike
Of packing house employees through
out the country cannot be settled by
arbitration, Arthur Meeker. vice pres
ident Of Armour & Co, declared to-
night in a statement outlining the
present situation in the countrys-
stockyards.
Mr.. Meeker declared that the pack
ers had a good understanding with
their employees over wages through
the employe representation plan re-
Gently instituted, and that conse-
quently there were no differences be-
tween the packers and their men.
The few workers who have walked
out can do as they please" Mr.. Meek.
err said tonight "The great bulk OF
the employees are we'll satisfied and
have remained loyal to their en-
ployers. These are the men we are
interested in, and, since there is no
need for arbitration where there is
no dispute, naturally we are not
seeking an arbitrator
Mr.. Meeker was approached today
by government agents seeking to set
tie the strike. They were shown the
Armour plant and given every cour-
tesy, but plainly told that the pack
ers took the attitude that there was
nothing to arbitrate. and that conse-
Quently they were not interested in
10 nave Tie SlTihc
bitrated.
There is no occasion for discussing
arbitration between meat-packing
concerns and those few of the men
who have left their jobs" said Mr..
Meekers statement.
Plants 50 Per Cent Working.
Our plants throughout the country
were able to operate at about so per
cent of normal during the past week.
and there is no indication that the
public will be seriously inconven-
fenced. Eastern packers have slaugh-
tered heavily and taken up the slack.
1t Is our expectation that We will be
operating in normal manner within
a week.
1.-THE reduced output of the past
week has had little effect upon the
prices other than for fresh pork
products, which always are par
ticularly sensitive to conditions of
supply and demand. Throughout the
country as a whole fresh pork prices
have not advanced materially. but in
Chicago and such other cities as are
ordinarily supplied in large part by
local packing plants there have been
price changes. caused by the decreased
supply. Obviously the best way for
the public to meet this situation is to
favor other meat products which are
less perishable in their nature"
