Chicago, Nov. 10 (By the Associated
Press. A general cut in wases of pack
ing house workers was forecast yester
day when four of bie five Armour &
Co.; Swift & Co.: Wilson Co., ami the
Cudahy Packing Company requested
their employes lo consider, in the plant
councils, a reduction in pay to he made
effective oon. No definite amount was
mentioned, and ffk-ials said their con
ferences had not determined the Mze
of the reduction to he sought.
The Amalgamated Moat Cutf.crs' and
Butcher Workmen Union of North
America recently took a strike vote in
which a substantial majority authoriz
ed Cornelius Hayes., international presi
dent, to order a walkout if he was un
able to reach a satisfactory agreement
with the packers.
The hisr five, claim, however, that
only a small proportion of their men
are union members and that a strike
would not seriously affect their plants.
The closed shop never has been recog
nized in thP industry.
ACTION" NO SURPRISE.
"The packers" action i? no surprise to
us.'" Hayes said when told of today's
action.
Hayes announced district presidents
from all packing house centers in the
country would meet here next week to
consider what action shall be taken un
der the strike authorization recently
voted.
TVio nrneont sm'p nf wa STPS in the
industry ranges from 45 cents an hour 1
for common labor which includes hfty
per cent of all men employed to .a
maximum of SO cents, for th,e highly
skilled floor men. Semi-skilled trades
are paid from '45 to 55 cents: killers
from 2 to 65 cents, and. hide removers
from TO to 75 cents an hour.
- Arguments of the packers for a wage
, reduction at this time were presented
by Louis F. Swift, president of Swift
& Co.. in a letter today to. the members
of the -various plant assemblies.
"It is only because of the greatest
necessity that we bring up the need of
a further substantial reduction in ex
penses so that we can meet the compe
tition of other concerns operating on
much lower labor cots." said Mx.
Swift.
He also said it was "a well known
fact that the wages in other industries
have come down faster than wages in
the packing industry."
"Swift & Co.'s labor costs per hun
dredweight in 1915 was 40 cents," Mr.
Swift added; "in 1921 it is $1. Livestock
has dropped in price almost to pre-war
levels; prices of meat, products also'
have fallen, yet the difference between
the cost of raw materials and the sell
ing price of our products has broaden
ed. "Bureau of Labor statistics for July
show thr.t the average weekly earnings
of 1." industries in the country are less
than the weekly earnings of Swift i
Co. employes. Swift workers averaged

Mothers! Watch Your Daughters' Health
Health Is Happiness
siiiiiSfe
rsmmm i
i -' -' ill
From the time a girl
reaches the age of twelve
until womanhood is estab
lished she needs all the care
the thoughtful mother can
give.
The condition that the
girl is then passing through
is so critical and may have
such far-reaching effects
upon her future happiness
and health that it is almost
criminal for a mother or
guardian to withhold coun
sel or advice.
Many a woman has suf
fered years of prolonged
Sain and misery through
aving been the victim of
thoughtlessness or igno- "
ranee on the part of those
who should have guided her
through the dangers and
difficulties that beset this
period.
Mothers should teach their
girls what danger comes
from standing around with
cold or wet feet, from lifting
heavy articles, and from
overworking. Do not let
her overstudv. Tf Kh mm.
plains of headache, pains in the back and lower limbs, or if you notice a slowness
of thought, nervousness or irritability on the part of your daughter, make life
easier for her. She needs thoughtful care for a few years.
: In all such cases Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound should be given
as it is especially adapted for such conditions. It contains nothing that can
injure and can be taken in perfect safety.
Head how Mrs. Eicher helped her daughter. She says :
"At the age of sixteen my daughter was having trouble every month.
' She had pains across her back and in her sides. Every month her back
- would pain her so she could not do her work and w6uld have to lie down. My
married daughter recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and I read the books which were left at my door. She took it faithfully and
is now regular and has no pain. We recommend the Vegetable Compound
and give you permission to publish this letter in your little books and in the
newspapers." Mrs. Katie Eicher, 4034 N. Fairhill St., Philadelphia, Pa.
Mrs. Williams will profit by her own experience. She says:
: " When I was thirteen years old I had sick spells each month and as I was
very backward I would bear the pain and my mother knew nothing about it.
I read in the daily paper about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
took my own spending money and bought a bottle. It helped me so much
that I took it regularly after that until I had taken two bottles and I did not
have any more pain or backache and have been a healthy, strong woman. I am
now 39 years old and have a little girl of my own, and when she gets old
enough I shall give her none other than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound." Mrs. C. E. Williams, 2437 W. Toronto St., Philadelphia, Pa.
; For almost fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been
relieving women, young and old, of ailments peculiar to their sex. Ask your
neighbor about it, for in every neighborhood there are women who know of
its merits.
Thousands of letters similar to the above are in the files of the Lydia E.
Pinkham Medicine Co., and for years such letters have been published. Surely
it is worth your while to make a fair trial of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Private Text-Book upon "Ailments
Peculiar to Women " will he sent to you free upon request.Write
to The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Massachusetts.
Ihis book contains valuable information.
SECEDERS PLAN !
TO RUNSCHQOL
Heidelburg Property Will
Be Developed at Once,
Say Local Directors.
Plans for the proposed Associate Re
formed Presbyterian school at the old
Heidelberg Academy grounds, near
Hendersonville, are expected to be com"
pletcd during the next week, accord
ing to local members of. the board of ;
directors.
It was rumored during the past week !
that there was some misunderstanding!
in the boundary lines of the property
purchased by the Seceders at that
place which might seriously, affect the !
entire deal, but local members of the j
organization state that this will not
affect their plans.
A meeting of the finance committee
was held at Heidelberg Tuesday and'.
Rev. W. B. Lindsay, who attended
that meeting stated that the work ;
would not be held up and that, .while !
the plans for the establishment ' of a:
girls' Fchocl at that place were not yet
completed it was probable that they
would be withm the next week.
The grounds purchased' by the As
sociate Reformed Presbyterians near
Hendersonville contain some 250 acres
and were formerly used as a school
s;ite. A large, roomy building is situa
ted on the grounds. This building
was formerly used as a dormitory on
the grounds. This building was for
merly used as a dormitory for the stu
dents and contains over a hundred
rooms.
Landscape gardeners . have already
visited the place and plans for beau
tifying the grounds have been" perfect-I
cd. The present plans are for the es- j
lablishment of an Associate Reformed
Presbyterian assembly ground at that!
place. Lots are to be laid out and
sold to the ministers and laymen of the ,
i-hurcn. Here the Summer confer-;
ences of the church will be held and
an ideal place furnished for the worn
out ministers of the church to spend j
their Summer vacations. j
The company was incorporated some j
time ago under the name of the Asso-j
ciate Reformed Presbyterian assembly i
grounds and a meeting of the board I
of directors was held at Heidelberg
October 12 at which plans for the work !
were discussed.
