Petitions are in circulation
among the patrons of the Rich

junior high grades in that school
with the beginning of the next
school year in September.
The initial action was taken at
a very enthusiastic meeting of
the Richmond Improvement club
at the school building last night
when the people voted unani
mously to petition the board to
establish the grades. Petitions
were prepared at the. meeting apd

Absence of the junior high
school grades at Richmond school
results in a great inconvenience
to the pupils of that section who
have reached junior high school

to walk past their own scnooi

city, making the distance they
have to go to attend school great
rr than that of the pupils in any

George W. Hug, superintendent
of the Saleni schools, attended
the meeting and explained con

CHICAGO. March 18. By a
vote of 21.482 to 27 union work
ers in (.'liiruuo packing plants went
on record today in favor of a
strike if they are "unable to iu
duce the packers to maintain the
eight hour work day." Telegraphic
reports at union headquarters
were said to mdlcate - similar
strike majorities In other packing
houtit; centers throughout the
coouutry.
The exact wording of the ballot
on which the workers voted follows:
"Do you favor and authorize
a strike in the event t:ial the gov
emmeut or our organization. is un
able to induce the packers to
maintain the eight hour work day
and compliance with the agree
ment entered into with the United
States department of labor?"
The agreement referred to was
war-time rulinr which submit
ted all wage and hour disputes be-I
tween the packers and their em
ployes to a federal arbitrator.
Judge Samuel Alscbuler having
occupied the position during the
war period. The packers withdrew
from the agreement on February
26 on tbe ground that the war was
over. Tbe agreement specified
that it was to remain in force un
til one year after the end of the
war. ,Tbe anions claim that war
has not officially ended. v
After wtihdrawlng from the
agreement,-the packers announced
wage reductions of from 12 1-2 to
15 per cent and changed the work
day from eight hours to ten hours
before overtime was paid. They
also announced plans by which the
workers would participate in the
control of plant affairs. Armour
and company having held an elec
tion this week at which their men
elected representatives to an "in
dustrial democracy." The plan was
assailed by Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Feder
ation of Labor, and union leaders
as an effort to divert attention
from an attack designed to destroy
tbe unions. This was denied by
tbe packers. -''
Tbe present strike ballot, it was
said by union leaders, is worded
in such a way as to make it possi
ble for the strike to be averted at
the packer-labor conference called
by Secretary of Labor Davis to
meet in Washington on Monday.
The union leaders take the posi
tion that If the packers refuse
either to restore the former wage
scale and hours or to submit the
whole disagreement to the federal
arbitrator, the officials of the un
ions will be forced to order a
walkout.
