The Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Den

"But yet, coming from England,
I made so bold as to say that we

he declared.
He said in his prepared speech
that today some of "our prized
freedoms in England have changed
their color and become instru
ments of oppression instead of lib
erty as they should be."

Stores Make Meatcutters
New Offer For 48 Hours

to observe all legal holidays by
"closing of markets."
The proposals would become ef
fective during the payroll week
when union membership ratifies
them, Henninger added.
Hern smun, Migcne, secretary
of the Oregon Federated Butchers
was out of town when called Thurs
day in reference to the new em
ployers proposals.
Most recent offer by the em
ployers had offered $98 for a 48
hour week, two weeks paid vaca
tion, seven paid holidays, premium
time after 6 p.m. and time and a
half on Sunday.
Henninger said the "new offer
came because "we (employers)
recognize the fact that our em-
Eloyees are vitally interested in the
ighest weekly take-home pay pos
sible." lie said the employers
were desirous of providing such
salary to "retain the most effici
ent help possible in our markets."
The employer spokesman added
"We realize that possibly the chain
stores can operate on a different
basis with less qualified help, be
cause of their method of distribu
ting meats from a central meat
warehouse located m Portland."
He pointed out that independent
stores are supplied locally.
