will be taken back In accordan6e with
whatever demand for their services Is

lines ot Industry by ita show of soli
darity." Davis added that it waa tip to tho
packers by their future treatment of
employes to say whether there will be
a aecond strike.

international butcher workmen Heads
waa held in Chicago last week, when it
waa agreed that atrlkera in each city
where a strike was. in progress should
have power to terminate it.

WASHIN'GTON. Jan. 31. Imme
diate passage of a soldier bonus leg
islation was urged today at a hair
ing before the house ways and means

aid., and land settlement option was
