urged , upon President Wilson by a
delegation, representing every craft

Fitjcpatrick, president 'of the Chi

parted for Washinrton tonight. ,
A statement issued by representa
tives ot the employes said:
"The organized packers of the
country have refused to meet us or
to co-oporate with us in any manner
In this great world crisis. " They have
brazenly repudiated ; the solemn
agreement entered Into between the
president and ourselves through his
mediation commission, upon last
Christmai mornins.
' "The packing Industry. Is the most
vital and Important one in the na
tion. To permit this industry, dur
ing, the progress of , a world war to
remain in. the private hands of a very
few nen wpuld not only be ridicu
lous from the Standpoint of govern1
mental policy but highly dangerous
to the cause of , a civilization arid

struggling."
The workers will propose to Presf
dent Wilson that in case the plants
aro taken over they will enl.'st as
the first members of America's in

for every packing plant in the United

William Williams hated! nicknames.
He used to say that most fine given
names were ruined by abbreviations,
which was a sin and a shame) ' "I
myself, he said, "am one of six
brothers. We were all given good.,
old-fashioned Christian names, but
bit those names were shortened Into
mcanlnglesf or feeble monosyllables
by our friends, t shall name my
children so that It will be Impractic
able to curtail their names."
The Williams family. In the course
of time, was blessed with five child
ren, all boys. . The' oldest was named
nfter the father William. Of coarse,
that would be shortened to "Will" or
enfeebled to "Willie" but.wait! A
second son came' and was ehlstened
Willard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Will
iams. "Now everybody will have to
speak the 'full name, of each of these
boys in order to distinguish them."
In pursuance of this scheme the
next three sons were tamed WJIbert.
