Following a mass meeting of strik
ers Wednesday night in union head
quarters, where more diligent pick
eting was urged, the picket lines
around the packing houses were
strengthened greatly yesterday.
"Our plant is running so close to
normal that any talk of a meat
shortage is a joke," declared O. W.
Waller, manager of the Swift plant.
"Iu fact, there is a surplus of meat.
Our trouble is to dispose of the
product on hand. The only reason
our buying has been a little slow in
the last 10 days is because there is
a surplus of meat on the market."
Work Nearing Normal.
M. R. Murphy, manager of the
Cudahy plant, , said a number ol
former employes, skilled men, re
turned to work yesterday and that
the plant is now operating at 75 per

Dold plant to be "operating at nor
mal by next Monday. Several old
employes returned today, he said.

same rate as before the strike," said
K. M. Schaefer of Morris & Co.
' Operation of the entire plant is 80
per cent of normal. We are hiring
"old employes and are well satisfied
with conditions."

poration it to be worked out.
In the eion miration were ask
ed a to whether it wai necessary for
stockholder iu the finance corpora
tion to hold 10 per cent of the stock
before they could have acce to the
book. Mr. Mycrt answered that
such wa true.
"We thought we mitiht he able to
get $5,000,000 or. maybe $25.0(10,000
from the American farmer but the
remainder of the stock would have to
be sold to investor," he aid. "The
director of the corporation are the
only one who can vote the mock auu
that keens the management of the
finance in the hand of the farmer'
directors. We could not atfdrd to

tion, building up new markets and
develop new uses for such products;
to market the same directly with
regularity, and to preserve for the
growers their profits. Since the
plan for promoting the Farmers'
Finance corporation the most im
portant subdiary of the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc., is now held in abey
ance until March, 1922, and since
no plan has been announced for the
