The arbitration agreement resulted from differences -between the packers and their employes in the latter part of 1917. when a strike was threat ened. It provided that grievances which the packers ana tlic employes could not adjust should be referred to the united States arbiter. Under the agreement Judge Al schuler granted the workers a wage increase of $75,000,000 a year, the eight hour' basic day and other ad vantages, i H Second Floor, Dress 6 4 Remarkable Opportunity sS C S3 To Secure Yur New Easter Frock )fY 200 Wonderful Spring Dresses !
