SOUTH SIDE MEN
PLEASED WITH
WAGE INCREASE
Packing House Employes Ex
. pected Boost, But Express -Satisfaction
With Ordered
10 Per CenU
That the increase of 10 per cent
in the wages of unskilled laborers
in the packing house industry is
satisfactory to a large majority of
South Side employes has been ex
pressed by over 80 per cent in a
canvass made Tuesday and Wednes
day of the persons affected.
"We expected more," said Jake
Davis, business agent of the union
.to which a majority of the -workers
are affiliated, "but we are thankful
for what was received and there is
no danger of a strike among the
local .workers over the question of
a still larger increase.
. "The action of the labor council
of the Chicago', stockyards express
ing a disapproval of the ordered
wage increase will have no influ
ence with local unions as we are
aware of the fact that the Chicago
organization is operating without a
f charter and is not even affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor.
"Our working conditions are most
satisfactory with the various pack
ing houses of the South Side and
our relations with the respective
heads of the several packing plants
have at all times been pleasant."
Announcement was made Thurs
. day that the respective managers of
the several packing houses of the
South Side were working on the
pay schedules of the different grades
of employes in abeyance of the or
der of Judge Altschuler, issued
Monday. They hope to have the
schedules completed by the first of
next week, which will assure a lib
eral addition to the pay of the indi
vidual members of the 12.000 em
ployes of the South Side plants, ?
William Carlisle,
Applicant for Army,
Not a Train Robber
A tall, husky young man entered
the United States recruiting office,
Twenty-fourth and M streets, an
nouncing his intention of enlisting.
He gave his age as 24, his home as
Montana, i and his present occupa
tion as a cattleman.
"Name," asked the recruiting ser-v
geant.
"William Carlisle." '
"What's that." sharply asked the
recruiting sergeant. The applicant
repeated the name. The men in
the recruiting office stared open-,
mouthed.
"My friend." said the sergeant,
''Have you ever robbed a train?"
"Quit your joshing," returned
William Carlisle, with an ugly light
in his eye. "What are you trying
to hand me?"
Carlisle left the recruiting office
in ignorance of the reason for the
sergeant's anxiety as to the appli
cant's experience as a train robber,
after he failed to pass the physical
examination.

1 here were not aa manv ahort-feif nA
warmed-up steers on the market today as
tarller in the week, but at that the aupply
was greater than the demand, prices being
considerably lower today after a large de
cline yesterday. There was no early trad
ing done on cows and mixed stock, packers
having a good supply already on hand.
Restrictions in the hours in the packing
plants cut down their demand for cattle
on the hoof. Stockers and feeders were
also dull, traders being well supplied and
there being little country demand, prices
were unevenly lower. Supplies of western
i.ri wnn ngni bub iraae was very slow
with prices considerably below yesterday.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Dec. 4. Corn averaged higher
in price today. Influenced chiefly by
prospects of unfavorable weather. The
ciuse was unsettled, c net lower to lc
advance, with December. $1.39 and May,
$1.34 to $1.34. Oats gained o to c.
In provisiona the outcome varied from 16c
decline to a rise of 10c
Prospective rain and snow gave bulls
in me corn marKet, considerable ad
vantage at the opening. Besides foreign
exchange rates were displaying power to
rally. Absence of selling pressure re
sulted and prices advanced sharply un
til attention began to focus on reports
that the coal strike mleht anon he ,.t.
led. Then a decided break In values
iuuk piace. accelerated by the fact that
receipts of corn here today were larger
and hog values on fhe down grade. Gos
sip that export sales of grain were-e-Ing
canceled had also a temporary de
pressing effect. Offerings,! however, -were
readily absorbed, and with a renewal of
talk that supplies appeared Inadequate,
the market swung upward at the finlett.
Oats merely followed the changes In the
price of corn.
Provisions were Irregular, Weakness In
the hoe market, led to aome selling, but
was offset more or less by talk that the
output cf packing houses might be less
ened because of the coal shortage.

FINANCIAL
New York, Dec. 4 In It salient char,
acterlsttea today' stronger and broad
er stock market was largely a duplicate
of the preceding aesslon. Th substantially
higher rang of many Issues resulted from
further Involuntary covering ot short cos
tract. Disregarding the Increasingly acuta eon.
dltlona in the-coal strike and the Mexican
situation, trader seemed to derive much
encouragement from th easier trend of
money, th better tone of th bond mar
ket and temporary relaxation of th ten
sion In foreign exchange.
Call money waa liberally supplUd at th
outset at ( per cent, that quotation being
maintained, throughout an augmented of
fering from interior banks. Tim loan
extending over the year' end wer mad
t (light concessions from recent rates,
but such accommodation. It waa under
stood, applied only to first-class collateral.
Th rally in exchange resulted from
negative rather than actual conditions,
sterling, franc and Swiss remittances re
acting toward th close of th day when
pressure of bills was renewed.
Favorable trad conditions facilitated
the operations of pool In varloua stocks,
especially motors and their accessories;
oils, steels, equipments and food and to
bacco share. In these groups extreme
gains ot S to 13 point wer featured by
General Motors, Texas company, Mexican
Petroleum, Middle States Oil, Crucible
Steel, United Retail stores. Tobacco prod
ucts, Sugar ahd Corn products.
Copper were moderately responsive to
better demand for the metal and tex
tiles, Industrial Alcohol and several ot
the chemical issues Improved for like rea
sons, but rails remained sluggish or heavy.
Sales amounted to 1,150,000 shares.
Th general bond list moved forward
with Liberty and Victory Issues, but
eased slightly at the end. Total sales
(psr value) aggregated $24,250,000.
Old United States bonds were unchanged
