Ballots received up to today showed a vote of 44,799 to 618 in favor of a strike if the union lead- ers fail to obtain revision of the packers recently instituted wage cut and ten hour day before extra over- time pay. ““We will place our demandl before the conference clearly and succinoct- ly” said Dennis Lane, secretary-treas- the butcher workmen's to the conference. - The other is Red- mon B. Brennan, counsel for the union, “If they are -not met the only | altersative for us is to strike. “We are going to ask the confer- ence to rule that the packers’ abroga- tion of the Alschuler arbitration agreement was illegal.
