FURTHER WAGE CUT OF 5 CENTS
AN HOUR FOR $4,000 WORKERS
EASkED BY CHICAGO PACKERS
Reductions Are Also Requested
For Piece Workers; Petition, Presented to
Judge Samuel Alschuler, Demands That a
Hearing Be Held Before June 19.

Chicago, June IA further
wage reduction of cents an hour
for all packing house employees paid
on an hourly basis and proportion
al cuts for piece workers was
asked today by the Chicago packers
in a petition filed with Federal
Judge Samuel Alschuler. federal
arbiter.
The reductions, if granted, would
affect approximately $4,000 work
ers in all parts of the country. The
petition asked that a full hearing
be held before June 10. and re-
'quested that the reductions be
made retroactive to that date.
Working Hour Restrictions.
Relief from the penalties i'm
posed on the packers in the form
of working hour restrictions also
was asked. With the eight-hour
day in force, it was explained, the
packers were guaranteeing forty
hours of work per week and paying
overtime after eight hours. 1t was
suggested that this be changed to
a guarantee of forty-eight hours
work and the agreement obligat-
ing them to pay overtime after
eight hours be abolished. Thus
overtime would only be paid after
forty-eight hours work a week.
Minimum Rate Now Paid.

cut from So cents in March follow
ing the abrogation by the packers
in February of a wartime agree
ment under which Judge Alschuler
was the mediator. At that time
the packers, after conferences with
President Harding and Secretary
Davis, agreed to continue the arbi-
tration agreement until Sepdem-
ber /, and the employees agreed to
accept wage reductions averaging
about Is per cent.
