; Big Packers Agree
To &c Pay Increase;
|WSB Action Awaited
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Three OF
the Nations four big meat-pack-
ing companies have agreed to a
wage increase of 9 cents an hour,
which is expected to be the pat
tern for the entire industry.
The agreement, subject to Wage
Sterilization Board approval, was
reached yesterday between Swift,
Armour and Cudahy and the CIO
United Packinghouse Workers OF
America. and between Armour and
Swift and the AFL Amalgamated
Meatcutters.
Wilson & Co., the fourth big
packer, was not included in either
agreement.
In accepting the terms, the CLIO
union authorized its leadership to
take strike action If the agree
ment is not approved by the WSB.
The meatcutters did not consider
strike action. Instead. they gave
their negotiating committee au-
thority to reach a settlement with
out even submitting the matter
to the rank and file membership.
A spokesman for the UPWA
said "the fight now is with the
Wage Sterilization Board" The
agreement was expected to be
submitted to the WSB today or
tomorrow.
The new pay scale becomes eff
fective as of February 8, provided
the WSB approves it by March
Is. The present wage rate ranges
from $1.26 an hour for laborers to
$2.11 an hour for skilled workers
The two unions claim to repre-
sent about 80 per cent of the 1885,
900 workers in the Nations pack
ing industry. Heretofore, the
terms reached between the unions
and the major packers have been
followed in contracts with the
other companies.

Sitter PenaItiesAsked
By Senate Committee
For Labor Espionage
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Labor Committee
has called for sitter penalties for
labor espionage, basing its recon-
mendation largely on what it
called a Shocking" campaign by
Cities Service Corp. of Pennsyl-
vania.
Nine of the 10 committee mem
bers approved a report condemn
ing the company's marine division
for a lengthy campaign to prevent
the AFL Seafarers International
Union from establishing itself on
the firms East Coast tanker fleet
in the late 1940s.
Dispute Already Settled.
A New York spokesman for the
firm said the dispute was settled
even before the committee began
its investigation and he added
that Cities Service felt mo con-
StructiVe purpose was to be served
by reopening dead issue"
This spokesman noted that the
report itself credited Cities Serv-
Ice with an ''indisputable reputa-
ton" and satisfactory" relations
with the union. He added that
the report was based largely on
union testimony and on that of a
former employe who was dis
charged after he admitted taking
money from the union for con-
tloentlal company data.
The committee said the author
and director" of the labor es-
plonage system was William Pot
ter Lage, lawyer since dismissed
by the company.
Taft Sees No Need for Change.
The seven committee Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans
Senators Aiken of Vermont and
Morse of Oregon-signed the re-
port calling for changes in the
Taft-Hartley Act to make labor
espionage a crime instead of only
an unfair labor practice.
Senator Taft, Republican. of
Ohio, co-author of the act, said
he condemned the practices at
tributed to Cities Service as
strongly as the majority did. but
he added he saw no need to revise
the law. He was joined in this
view by three other Republicans
Senator H. Alexander Smith of
New Jersey, Ives of New York and
Nixon of California.
If labor espionage is to be made
a crime. Senator Taft said, SINH
lar action should be considered
for union practices which the act
deSlgnateS as unfair.

Dusky GliderS.


Dusky gliders are amazing mar
supials of Australia. They are
known as dusky possum (Schoino-
bates volans). One half of it's
4O-inch length is attributable to the
bushy, pendulous tail. Normally the
glider is dusky black, due to his
long, soft, silky black fur. He
climbs tree trunks with an astonish-
ing gallop, his sharp claws biting
into the bark.
These gliders exude musky
eucalyptus odor, not offensive. since
the creature is fastiduous and the
odor of eucalyptus is not objection
able. He is the only gliding possum
that Is leaf eater. Unless sup
piled with fresh leaves daily, he
joins his ancestors.
The home tree is usually an old
dead giant where a Topped off
branch at the top left hollow into
which the glider establishes home.
The momentum that carries the
glider such long distances, is
gained from the initial almost verti-
cal dive. The higher the starting
point the farther the gay fellow
can glide. After the dive, he
fiattens out finally sweeping gently
upward for a landing. The crinkled
edge of his flying membrane is
visible. In flight this is stretched
taut between the elbow and ankle
on each side.
During the day he remains in
doors, coming to the entrance Of
his dwelling at twilight to give his
fur thorough combing. This task
ended, he is ready to take off to
Nocturnal feeding grounds. His loud,
Shrek as it takes off for a 250-foot
leap is not too pleasant to hear in
the dark woods.
AS a youngster he starts of like
all marsupials, immature, unfinished
and tiny. He reaches his haven of
food and shelter under his own
steam. Naked, tiny and cared,
he hustles with all his might to
refuge in the pouch. In six weeks
he appears to be independent of
his mother, though glad to reach
her for nourishment. He is a sad,
pathetic baby, his long tail and
lanky legs, tiny body, incoming in
the sun, waiting to creep into the
nursery for food and comfort. His
first gliding lessons are taken from
his position on her back, where
he clutches tight a handful of long
hair as she launches into space.
With the additional weight to her
own 3 pounds, she takes shorter
glides.
In captivity the animals must
have extra care to survive, the
babies at weaving time given gum
tips from fresh branches.
1t has been discovered that these
strict leaf eaters are very fond of
peppermint. Those kept in captivity
learned to like bread and milk, the
bread spread with jam or honey,
but eucalyptus leaves are first
choice.
