former packing house workers gath-
ered at employment offices ln the
i
packing plant district seeking re
employment according to reports from
that section today, following the call
ing off of the strike In the Omaha dis
trict.

men had to be turned away, but ac
cording to C. R. Orchard, a member ot
tho packers' publicity committee, they
will be taken back In accordance with
whatever demand for their services Is
made as a result of conditions. Two
hundred former employes were put to
work last week, he said, and there
were prospects that increased business
would necessitate further addition to
packing plant forces.
Commenting on the termination of
the strike In Omaha, Jacob H. Davis,
president of district council No. 5 of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's union said:
"The packing house workers of
Omaha have received a temporary set
back, but the spirit displayed through
out tho Ight weeks of struggle nnd
sacrifice will encourage) workers in all
lines ot Industry by its show of soli
darity."
Davis added that it was up to tho
packers by their future treatment of
employes to say whether there w ill be
a second strike.
According to Davis, a conference of
international butcher workmen heads
was held In Chicago last week, when it
was agreed that strikers In each city
where a strike was. In progress should
have power to terminate it.

lion that the. Shantung controversy

Prediction that the last details of
the plan for restoration to China ot
Shantung province would be settled
at today's meeting was made by Dr.
Koo ot the Chinese delegation, fol
lowing an agreement reached last
night between the Japanese and Chi
nese covering all principles required
as a basis for disposal of the Tslng

WASHINOTON. Jan. 31. Imme
diate passage of a soldier bono leg
