Samuel Alsehuler. wacc aKrcemrnt
arbiter, at the brtitsV of tfle paPrrs.
Judge Alschuler's decision on the
previous hearing has not been an
nounced. The packers assert that prices
have declined and the packing busi
ness does not now warrant any
wage increase. The workers had
uppcaled for a straight increase of
2XA cents an hour for all employes.
Statistics which, he said, were in
tended to show that there was a
spirit rf retrenchment la the na
tion's Industry and that wages and
ihe cost of living were goring down
throughout the country, were pre
sented to Federal Judge Samuel
Alschulcr today by L. 11. D. Weld,
representing the packing companies
in the iicaring over the demands of
.jd,uuu packing company employes
for a wage increase of $t a day.
Assert Conditions Changed. .
Judge AHehuler heard the' casq
two monflis ago, but aicver gave a
decision. ' The Scaring- $s' reopened
at' the request' of the padkers, who
maintained that the "decrease iiKthe
cost of living which has1 come into
being since the previous hearing
. should be taken into consideration
in this case, which is the firsf test
.etween capital-and-, labor- as to
whether there .should be further
wage increase rtoyv Utft living, costs
are decreasing."" '-
Mr. Weld declared that the pack
ers were asking only that wages be
not increased. He presented statis
tics gathered by the packers from
879 industrial plants in various sec
tions of the country yjliich quoted re
ductions in working hours, wagesl'
the cost of living and number of
men employed-' during the .past 90
days. Of these plants five had in
creased wagep,- 154 showed. nf

reduced the number of working
hours and 186 reduced wages, main
ly by hiring new -employes at re
duced pay. In some tases both
hours and wages were reduced.,

CliicaKo Tribune-Omaha Hee l.raM-d Wlr.
Chicago, Nov. '23. This is no time
or place, for Pygmalion and Galatea.
The age is too material and sordid,
the policeare too coarse and un
imaginative, and there qrc quite
enough beautiful and lively maidens
without creating one from marble. ;
Wherefore Paul Hiylccke, who
was emulating Pygmalion, is in the
hoosegow and physicians will ex
amine his bean 'for traces of insan
ity. His luxurious flat is ftj.tlie cus
tody of the police, who. are also hold
ing a lige-size waxen female dummy,
clothed in the latest fashion of costly
garments.
Incidentally the police also laid
violent hands upon a varied assort
ment of booze found in Huydecke's
apartment. His downfall came from
quaffing too deeply and carrying on
his conversations -with , Galatea' in
tones loud enough' for the neighbors
to overhear. He .had been heard
talking in endearing1 tones to a mys
terious person. iin .his presumably
lonely apartment. Inquisitive de
tectives posted themselves near the
doors and heard Huydccke quoting
verse, alternated ' with conversation
with "Galatea." : r ',
"Ihavc found the elixir." he told
