Capital One Million ,, Surplus $360,000.00 Employes Agree With Officials That Their Wages Must Be Reduced. THEY FIX THE AMOUNT (Br AMhM r.) Chicago, Nov. U. Employes of Ar mour and company, 28,000 in all, 'today through their plant governing com mittee, agreed with officials of the packing house that a wage reduction is necessary and fixed its amount. The cnt la effective November 28. This is the first im In the history of the industry that a wage reduction has been arrived at In such a manner. Employes of Swift and company, Wilson and company and the Cudahy Packing company who are holding plant conferences, are expected to ac cept similar reductions, and Morris and company has announced that it will follow the example of the others. All of the big five except Morris and company last spring inaugurated ttjc "plant congress" system of employes' participation in the management of the Industry. , The books were opened and the finan cial situation of the company explained. The question was put to a vote and the following reductiohs adopted: For piece workers, 8 per cent; un skilled labor getting 4B cents an hour or loss; 7V, cent. Heml-akllled labor getting 45 and 60 cents an hour, cent. A minimum wage of 85 cents an hour for adult female labor la provided. These reductions apply to plants In Chicago, St. Paul. Slnux City, Omaha. St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis and Denver. . ... . When Ihe reductions are applied to the plants of the other member of the big five, 126,001) men and women will be affected. In the final result, a far larger number will be dlrectcly con cerned, as wages In several hundred smaller packing houses are based on' thi b- five scales. No change Is made in working con ditions or the 40-hour week guarantee. Today's actum, officials said, marked a new departure In American Industry. While the "plant congress" Idea hae been tried with varying success in other lines, the packing houses were the first national Industry to attempt this method of employe representation in the management. WAREHOUSES WILL SELL THREE DAYS NEXT WEEK Sales Yesterday (ilve More Satisfac tion And Increased Volume la Expected Met Week. Both the Guilford and the" Planter' tobacco warehouses will be closed next week Thursday and Friday because of Thanksgiving day celebrations. As they do not have sales Saturdays, the only days on which sales will be held next week will h Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Yesterday's sales brought fairly general aatisfactlon to the farmers. For the better grades of tobacco the prloeB were well up above M and B0 cents. A large amount of low-grade tobacco was on sale and the low prices for these grades held the day's average. Warehouse men and veteran tobacco dealers are expecting next week to show an Increase In the amount of to bacco offered for sale, but the general opinion exists thut the majority of the better grades of tobacco have already been sold. There is of course a lot of line tobacco left but the bulk of it from now on Is expected to be of the less valuable types. On all Bides Indication point to the fact that prices on the local market are as high us any other market in this part of the state and men who have been dealing in tobacco for years said yesterday that there was as good a chance of getting the full value of the crop in Greensboro as anywhere, and proba btjr better; The-value of having a well established market in Guilford county has been emphasized time and again, especially by representatives of the tobacco companies.

JAPAN SEEKING LARGE NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT Therefore, She Wnnti Airplane 'mrrteTn Added to Her Khar of the Apportioned Tonnage (By Awx-Uttd Pre&O "Washington, Nov. 18. The Airplane carrier is the type of ship referred to by Admiral Kato as the one on which Japan wants to apportion her tonnage to that of the United States and Great Britain, it waa learned from authori tative sources today. The Japanese, with their habitual patience and perseverance, are bent on overcoming if possible, their pres ent Inferiority in air machines. The superiority gained by other powers by actual experience during the war nan somewhat disturbed the military and naval leaders of Japan. With hundreds of islands to protect, Japan apparently wants to be able to transport airplanes in large numbers, believing that any future war Is like ly to be fought In the air. This Is said to l)e the basis of her desire to have as many airplane carrier units as any other power. WE The 2:00 P. M. 7:30 P. M.
