men of North America to-day
recommending that the strike Of
packing house employees be called
or Immediately, Dennis Lane, sec
retary of tie union, announced to-

cided to make the recommendation
and that there would be no further
concerted strike action.
The strike started on Decem-

representation and after wage re-
ductions had been put into effect,
the packers refusing to recognize
the unions in their negotiations.
