Omaha Plants Affected Chicago. Nov. 9. (By The Asso ciated Press.) A general cut in wages of packing house workers was forecast today when four ot the "Big Five" packers Armour & (.., Swift & Co.. Wilson & Co. and the Cudahy Packing conipauy re quested their employes to consider, in the plant councils, a reduction m pay to be made effective in the near future. No definite amount was mentioned and officials said theit conferences had not determined the size of the reduction to be sought. Morris & Co., the only one ot the Big Five which has not established employes' councils, is expected to make any reduction which the oth ers may agree on. Walkout Authorized. The Amafgamated Association cf Meat Cutters and Uutcher woric men's unions of North America re tentlv took a strike vote, in which a substantial majority authorized Cor nelius Hayes, international presi dent, to order a walkout if he was unable to reach a satisfactory agree ment with the packers. The Big Five claim, however, that only a small portion of their men are union members and that a strike would not seriously affect- their plants. The closed shop has never been recognized in the industry. The strike vote followed termina tion of the period of federal arbitra tion, established during the war with Judge Samuel Alschuler as arbitrator the packers having refused to re new the agreement. ' Arguments of 'the packers for a wage reduction at this time were presented by Louis F. Swift, presi dent of Swift and company, in a letter today to the members of the various plant assemblies. "Because of Greatest Necessity." "We regret that we must at this time ask you to present an unpopu lar subject to your workmen through your assembly," Mr. Swift wrote, "but trust that the members of our organization realize that we want them to suffer as little hardship as possible from the hard times that have befallen the company. "If is only because of the great est necessity that we bring up the need of a further substantial reduc tion in expenses so that we can meet the competition of other" Concerns operating on much lower labor costs. Ve have been doing all that we can in this direction, but unfortunately wages form such a large part of. our (Turn to P Two, Column Fire.) Rain Fails to Dampen Welcome for Foch . . Cleveland, Nov. 9.

Wyman, Sixteenth United States cavalry,- charged in seven specifications w'tn violation of the ISth article. of war and found guilty of six.

Placed in Rotunda of National Capitol, to Lie in State Until Burial Friday President And Government Officials Honor Soldier Who Made Supreme Sacrifice for Country. Bjf Tea Auoclatod Fraaa, Washington, Nov. 9. A plain soldier, unknown but weighted with honors as perhaps no American be fore him because he died tor the flag in France, lay tonight in a place where only martyred presi dents, Lincoln, Garfield and Mc kinley, have slept. . He kept lonely vigil, Jying in state under the vast, shadowy dome of the canitol. Only toe motion less figures of the five armed com rades, one at the head and one facing inward at each corner of the bier, ket watch with mm. But far above,- towering from the great bulk of the dome, the brood ing figure of Freedom watched, too, as though it said "Well done" to the servant, faithful unto doath, asleep there ' in the vast, dim chamber below. America's unknown dead is home from Fiance, and the nation has no honor too great for him. In him it pays its unstinted tribute of pride and glory to all those sleeping in France. It was their home-coming today; their day of days -in the heart of the nation. Sodden skies and a chilling rain went to jiiark the mourning of America at the bier of this unknown hero. But from the highest of ficials to the last soldier or marine or bluejacket, rain and cold meant nothing beside the desire to do honor to the honor soldier. Ceremonies Brief.1 The ceremonies were brief. They began when the boom of saluting British Premier Hopeful of Early Irish Settlement Lloyd George Says Prospect Good for Acceptance of Peace Proposals, at Lord Mayor's Banquet. By I'nlversal Service. London, Nov. 9. The lord mayor's banquet tonight assumed more than national importance when the pre mier, replying to the mayor's toast to the cabinet ministers, followed the custom of such gatherings at the historic Guild hall, of speaking his mind regarding foreign affairs. The tradition has been that theimcuir the War Fmanee cor premier must touch only on foreign policies, but in response to the lord mayor's suggestion that the guests anxiously awaited news of the Irish conference, Mr. Lloyd oeorge ex, panded the statement made early in his speech that "the Washington con ference is like a rainbow in the sky," and then passed to Ireland. , He declared there was a tetter prospect of Great Britain's proposals to Ireland being heeded today and of Ireland accepting the invitation to en ter the British commonwealth as an eaual than for years, but that the conference was still in a critical stage. Beyond this, he refrained from fi- vulging the results or the possibili ties of the conferences. In his opening remarks the pre mier alluded to the economic troubles affecting the world such as followed the Napoleonic war. He expressed the conviction that the force of the cyclone was already spent, and fol lowed with a recital of numerous symptoms indicating a revival was coming, particularly the fact that "in every land the slackness that seemed to overcome labor is passing away."

Along its rails stood its crew, at attention and with a solemn ex pression. Astern, unacr me long, gray muzzle of a sun that echoed its way into history more than 20 years ago in Manila bay, lay the flag-draned casket. A tented awn ing held oil the rain, the inner side of the canvas lined with great American flags. At attention stood five sailors and marines as guards of honor. Below on the old dock at Wash ington navy yard a regiment of cav alry waited, "sabers at present," with the black-draped gun caisson with its six black horses to carry the casket to the capitol. The troopers faced toward the ship as it swung broadside to its place and the gang way was luted tJT its quarter deck. To their right, a mounted band stilled its restless horses. On the ship, the files of its ma rine guard stood at attention. Rear Admiral L. H. Chandler, -who escorted this dead private soldier across the Atlantic, was garbed in the full, formal naval dress, as 'were ofiiccrs of his start. Accorded Highest Honors.

Restrictions Are Removed on Farmers' Loans War Finance Corporation Per mits State Banks to Incur Unlimited Indebtedness To Aid Clients. As a result of the combined ef forts of Governor McKelvie, Attor ney. General Davis and F. W. Thomas, regional chairman ' of the War Finance corporation, the gen eral . counsel of the corporation in Washington issued a ruling yester day removing all restrictions on the amount of indebtedness a state bank poratton Mr. Thomas explained the matter in the following statement: Must File Statement. "Where applications to the War Finance corporation show bills pay able and rediscounts for an amount in excess of the capital and surplus of a bank, an officer of the state bank should file a statement that the pro ceeds of the advance from the War Finance corporation will be used cither to retire bills payable or re discounts, or to build up reserves for the protection of depositors. "The fact is quite well established that when banks borrow at this time, the funds are for the most part .used to build up ample reserves for the protection of the bank and its depositors and take care of the farmers and stockmen; although in many instances banks are transfer ring their lines of credit to the War Finance corporation in order to re lieve their correspondents, and also in order that they may leave open their line's of credit with correspond ents. "The Omaha Agricultural Loan agency has already received applica tions, secured by farmers' notes, from over 120 banks in Nebraska, all of which have been acted on prompt ly and proper recommendations made to Washington, where the ap plications were satisfactorily com pleted." , Banks Get Money. 5 . J. M. Flannigan, secretary of the Omaha agency, states: "The Federal Reserve bank of Omaha today received instructions from the War Finance corporation at Washington to pay out $25,000 to a bank in Valley county and $17,000 to a bank in Sherman county. "Prompt service is given where the bankers are careful to properly pre pare the, required form of applica tion. - "Bankers of the state are gener ally showing proper interest in the liberal terms offered by the War Finance corporation, in order to properly take care of their agricul tural clients, including stockmen."

School Topics Discussed Teachers attending the 55th annual convention of the Nebraska State Teachers' association packed the First Methodist Episcopal church at Twen tieth and Davenport streets last night to hear addresses by educators of national reputation. Francis G. Blair, superintendent of public instruction for the state of Illi nois, chose for his subject, "From Chance to Certainty in Education." John Dennis Mahoney of the West Philadelphia High school, an au thority on English and its teaching, talked on "Good Citizenship and the Schools." Last night's session was opened with community singing, led by Al bert Edmund Brown of Massa chusetts. Mr. Brown also sang a solo be tween addresses by Mr. Blair and Mr. Mahoney. How to Attain Efficiency. The greatest cause of leakage and waste in public education is due to the lack of fitness and preparation on the part of the teaching force, and this lack of fitness is responsible to the glaring inequalities in compensa tion for the labor rendered that has operated- to keep the best young men and women out of the teaching pro fession, Mr. Blair declared. Maximum efhciency in every school room, he held, will not have been attained until every instructor has been trained academically and professionally for her work and such teachers will not be obtained until the various districts, municipalities and states make more- certain the social and economic standing of the teacher. "As long as a great wealthy com monwealth will allow its schools to be instructed by such unprepared teachers there is bound to be leakage and wastage throughout the system, Mr. Blair stated. Another cause of waste in public instajiction is the failure to under stand the economic value of trained superintendents and supervisors in an educational system, Mr. Blair-said Class distinction and class conflict which, he said, often appears between the supervising teacher and the teaching teacher, must be done away with. . Co-Operation Nefissary.- The two great wordswhich every teacher should know the meaning of are independence and co-operation, Mr.-- Blair continued. That inde pendence should be expected by every supervising teacher and to at tain the greatest degree of independ ence and liberty the teacher must work through a wise system of co operation. Our compulsory education laws are not what they should be, and until they become nation-wide, the disgrace of illiteracy will continue to sit on our front porch," Mr. Blair stated. We took our first stride from chance to certainty when a public tax was laid upon all the property of a community to provide education for all the youth of that community. The second step was taken when the state-wde compul sory education laws were passed. "However, it fs clear to everyone that the mere forcing of children into a public school does not insure an education unless there are ma tcrials of thought provided which are within their grasp and within their interest. One of the greatest (Turn to Page Tiro, Column Two.) Successor to Hara Remains Uncertain Tokio, , Nov. 9. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The problem of a successor to the' premiership re mained uncertain, largely because of the continued refusal of Marquis Saionji, pleading age and ill health, to consider acceptance of the post. As an alternative, Marquis Saionji was asked to suggest some other per sons whom he considered qualified, but it is not known if he made any recommendation, and both the Nichi Nichi Shimbun and 'the Kokomin Shimbun consider there is still a chance of him reconsidering. Kenzo Adachi, a Seiyu-Kai leader, is quoted as saying there was a strong possibility that Baron Taka haski, minister of finance, would be the choice if Marquis Saionji per sisted in his declinaton.

' - Washington, Nov. 9. Passage of the Campbell-Willis bill, banning beer as medicine, was assured by a "unanimous consent" agreement for a vote on it November 18. : Senate approval by a vote of three to one. is predicted. The bill re ceived the approval of the house, and following the senates action, it will go to the White House. ' "Dry" leaders expressed confi dence that President Harding would sign it and it would become law within three weeks.' Nevertheless medicinal ' beer still has one good chance of recognition as a product within tlie law. "Wet" forces are planning: to begin a vigor ous legal battle at once to retain the right to brew beer for medicinal purposes. ' . , ihe moment the measure becomes effective, they expect to go into the courts with a plea that the act is unconstitutional. The sudden collapse of the "wet" filibuster came as a complete sur prise to the. senate. The expectation was that the filibuster would be con tinued indefinitely and that finally republican leaders would again side track the bill in order to make way for more pressing legislation. The "drys," however, threatened to in voke the cloture rule, and failing in that purpose, declared their inten tion of keeping the senate-on the job day aiid night until a vote was reached. Realizing that passage of the bill ultimately could not be pre vented, opponents of the measure finally agreed to give up the fili buster. . v..- " , .
