Here are some of the facts

three times as large a proper

A wrong move might mean loss
of fingers, or a severed artery.
The saddest part to the under
paid packinghouSe worker is
the fact that with all that good
meat before him, his wages pro-
vide for little more than boil
ing pieces or boloney. This is
why the clearinghouse workers
walked out for a wage increase.
But the big packers are more
than just tough and unscrupu-
lous characters for whom TO
work. Their monopoly on meat
swings big stick in the whole
economy of the country be-
cause meat is a propaganda
weapon and can make national
policy.
By refusing to buy livestock
and Withholding meat from the
retail trade the big packers led
the fight which broke the back
of effective price controls. More
than any other one outfit the
packers are responsible for our
runaway initiation

MOST people who dilate
lVltheir nostrils in delight
when they Whit the aroma of
freshly cooked roasts or steaks
little realize that the places
where meat animals are slaugh-
tered reek with a stencil which
defies description.
The packinghouse workers
now on strike have no easy life
at the best. An uIlinitiated per-
son, when first escorted through
the killing rooms of a pack
inghouse, is compelled to get a
firm grip on his innards to keep
them from turning inside out.

to six months sticking at a

enough).
