Union Official Says Unless Meat Com-panies Agree to Halt Wage Cuts

Workers Will Continue

Strike Plans.

Mineral. NOT NARCOTIC

Chicago March 14,—Federal media-tion loomed in the iuqK-ndiu;,' puckers’strike us both factions prepare*! to

send representatives |to Washington in

response to the request of Secretaryof Labor Davis.

Telegrams which paved the way for

arbitration were received by the headsof each of the five big packers and bySecretary Dennis Lane of the MeatCutters’ union.

The messages stated that "the De-partment of Labor, with the knowl-edge of the Departments of Agricul-

ture and Commerce, requests that tworepresentatives’’ eacii of the employersand employees in the packing houseindustry report for a conference, and“such inquiry as may prove helpful

in leading to a just aud satisfactory

solution."

Wants Wage Cuts Halted.

Secretary-Treasurer Lane of the

unions, however, made It plain that

unless the packers agreed to halt the

proposed wage cuts pending arbitra-

tion, the union men .would go aheadwith their preparations fer a strike.

“We are willing to arbitrate our dif-

ferences, ’ he said. “Now it’s up to

the packers. If they wish to go to

Washington, we’ll go. Kilt wages unoworking conditions must remain as

they are Itntil this whole thing is

thrashed out.

“We are going ahead with our strike

referendum. We would be foolish to

go to Washington to protest against

the cut in wages after the decrease

had been effected. We would be like

soldiers without guns.”

Strike Ballots All Out.

The lust of the strike ballots weresent out to the heads of the various

locitls. They were so timed in mail-

ing as to enable a vote to be takenWednesday. The returns are to t>e

telegraphed in to the union headquar-ters here.

If a strike is voted, the power to

call it rests with Secretary-TreasurerLane. He intimated that it would betallied within ten days after the vote

was cast.

The packers refused to make anyformal reply to the union statementregarding the wage cut. One lead-

ing packer Intimated, however! that

ttie new scale would go into effect onMonday, as originally planned.

Tlie federal action followed a cab-

inet meeting in Washington which dis-

cussed every angle of the packinghouse wage situation. It was the

general opinion of President Hardingnnd his assistants that the adminis-tration should take an active hand to

avert clashes In connection with thewage adjustments whit* are becomingmore and more prevalent daily.

No slliclal action was taken on thetechnicality which the workers raise In

support of their claim that the arbi-

tration agreement is still In existence,

namely, that no peace has been de-

clared with Germany and that a state

of war still exists,

Tlie union officials, however, foundcomfort In the ruling of Attorney Gen-eral Daugherty that Doctor Sawyer'sappointment to the rank of brigadiergeneral was legal because hostilities

have not formally been ended, despitethe fact that the President's physi-

cian is two years over the peace timeage limit.

Offer of Mediation Accepted.Washington, March 14.—Whether

the Department of Labor would at-

tempt to settle the wage-reduction con-troversy between the meat packingcompanies and their employees de-

pends <m acceptance of Secretary Da-vis’ offer of mediation by the packers.Conditional acceptance on behalf ofunion workers was announced at-Chi-engo by Dennis Lane, secretary-treas-urer of the Amalgamated Meat Cuttersand Butcher Workmen of North Amer-ica, after receiving Secretary Davis*telegram proposing mediation by theLabor department,Mr. Lane was reported to have

stated the union agreed on conditionthat the packers defer enforcement oftlie proposed wage reduction nnd ad-

|

I would liefer taking a strike ballot.

Secretary Davis' offer of mediation

j

was telegraphed to the union and the! packing firms, with the full sanction

and approval of President Harding,

following discussion of the threatened

Last week we took one side of

the proposition to spend a cer-

Well, maybe we were. We know

“The emotional effects and con-

my new phonograph, I can pro-

Concrete—for we will show a big

and the original music This proof

would be good in any court of law.

HON. ROBERT BLAIR

To the Voters of Letcher County. Ky. :

Having been solicited by many of my friends and the farmers

of Letcher caunty why know of my ability and who know my faith-

fulness as a public official in the discharge of my duty as same, I

have decided to become a candidate for the office of County Attor-

ney, subject however to the Republican party at the August 1921

primary. As there has been such wonderful development in our

county since I served the people as County Attorney, and as so

many people have come among us who probably do not know me, I

will say that heretofore I have been elected to this office three

times and was appointed to fill a vacancy of one year, and by rea-

son of my ’ nowledge of the duties of this office I feel that I amable to fill same to the great advantage of the people and taxpayers

of the county. I therefore solicit your support, and if I should be

elected I will ever be ready to serve the good people and taxpayers

faithfully and to the best of my ability. Thanking you in advance

for anything you may do or say for me, I remain.

Your Servant,

ROBERT BLAIR.

Spring is the time when good

blood is so vital to health. If

you do not feel the thrill of spring

in your blood, if you take no

pleasure in living, if your appe-

tite is poor, your complexion pal-

lid or muddy, and you tire easily,

you can be pretty sure your

blood is not up to the mark. So

many feel that way in the spring.

Especially housewives who have

so much work to*’do. They get

over tired and run down—their

blood becomes weak and thin.

Build up your health now by

taking that splendid spring blood

tonic, Gude’s Pepto-Mangan. It

will give vital power to the red

corpuscles in your blood. They

will go racing through your blood,

carrying fresh supplies of oxygen

to all the tiny cells. It will help

improve your color and your ap-
