SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. II. -
Drivers, butchers and meat cutters
at the "Big Four" packing houses of
Armour, Swift, Cudahy and Wilson
are still holding solid in their strike
which started on April l..
The "Big Four" packers here en-
boldened by the fact that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has never
cared about trying to organize the
unorganized workers inside the
acpkinghouses, announce that they
viii no longer recognize the Drivers
and Chauffeurs Union, or the But

these workers resulted.
On April l, the bosses advised the
union officials that the men could
continue to work in the packing
plants of the big Four" provided
they tore up their union cards and
worked without a union. The men
displayed militancy in refuscing to
work open shop, and struck. The
union takers have rewarded them
by failing to conduct militant fight
for the men.

ment to counteract the charge of

slavery, even the League of Nations
is invited to send representative

But although the League might like
to get in a dig at the United States,
it will be gagged by its own rules.
This results from Liberia care
