The coal strike showed us what a narrow margin the country goes on, even in a non perishable necessity which can be stored. Swift & Company is engaged in the business of fighting hunger. From coast to coast, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, the lines of defense are drawn packing plants at strategic points; ' branch houses in four hundred towns and cities; hundreds of car routes; thousands of refrigerator cars; tens of thousands of loyal men and women expert in their work. Day by day, hour by hour ceaselessly, : r this fight, your fight, goes on. Yet so smoothly, surely and victoriously that you, unaware how close hunger always is, are as certain each night of tomorrow's meat as you are of tomorrow's sun. And so economically is this done that the coat to you for this service is less than three cents a pound pf meat sold. The profit shared in by more than 30,000 shareholders whose money makes the victory possible is only a fraction of a cent a pound on all products. i ' If hunger did not make it necessary for us to fight this fight in the best, possible way for all -concerned, the competition of hundreds of other packers, large and small, would compel us.' Swift & Company, U. S.

'Five dollars a day is the minimum- which will support a man and his family." the strikers said in a j statement today. Demands they made to the general managers' asso ciation were: Conductors, $1 an hour, present scale 66 2-3 cents; switchmen. 93 cents an hour, present scale. 62 cents: "switch tenders. $5 a dap. present wage. t cents an hour. From 23.000 to 30,000 workers at the stockyards were idle today. Receipts of cattle, hogs and sheep were small.
