RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

TREE MEMORIAL IDEA IS COMMENDED BY BUSINESS, SOLDIERS Richmond's Chamber of Commerce secretary-manager believes planting of memorial trees along our national highways in honor of ex-service men is a "splendid plan." "I think, however," he said, "that only hardwood trees should be planted. And then the trees should be planted with another view in mind, other than that of being a memorial. I am of the opinion that they should be nut trees, like walnut, hickory and chestnut. It would not be wise to permit persons to deliberately strip the trees of their fruit but it would be well to allow them to gather them as they go along the road." Many Endorse Plan Ie seems that individuals and or ganizations from all parts of the coun try are endorsing the plan as suggested by the Chicago Tribune. Ross H. Garrigus, of Kokomo, wired the Tribune: "The local post of the American legion tonight adopted resolutions endorsing the plan to plant trees along our nation's highways as a living me morial to the veterans of the late war. Committees were appointed tb take the necessary steps to carry out the plan in this part of the country." Another person having written of the proposed project says: "Trees, the memorial that lives. Who is it that has not, as a child or a grownup, sat beside a tree and felt like snuggling up to it? There are sev eral trees facing Clark street. Chicago, that I learned to love, and I recalled , iL 1 T 1.1! 1 11. . them when I was nestling in the branches on the Champs Elysee and Epping forest. To me these trees, after 35 years have become living intities, and I have imbued them with aspirations and sentiments which I myself cherish. "I understand why John Muir was charged with thinking more of a tree than of a man. Beautiful and' inspiring are trees, and it has been said that he who plants one is greater than he who takes a city. 'Plant a lonely tree when I go into God's white fields of snow. Plant it where the red bird calls, where the sunshine softly falls.' With fond thoughts of Ruskin, Thoreau, Joaquin Miller, and dear, kind John Burroughs." STOCKYARDS' STRIKE AT CHICAGO CRIPPLES SHIPPING; FEAR TIE-UP (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 2. The strike of members of the livestock handlers' union at the stock yards in protest against a reduction in pay of eight cents an hour, brought divergent statements today from union representatives and employers as to the extent of the walkout. Patrick J. Griffin, president of the union, said that 1,500 men were out and that the strike would tie up other branches of the packing industry by nightfall.. O. I. Hinkle, general manager of the Union Stockyards and Transit company, declared however, that only 800 men had quit work and that about 300 new employes had been hired to fill their places. The strikers are the men through whose hands the cattle, pigs and sheep pass on their way into the slaughter houses. They are the men who unload all the cars and who feed, water, and drive the live stock into the pens where incoming shipments are held pending purchases by the packers' buyers. The strike means a congestion of cars on the yards tracks, a general slowing down of the meat supply, and the possible loss of considerable cattle through lack of care. Strikebreakers Hired. Three hundred strikebreakers were employed yesterday, and it was reported more men would be on the job today. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF C. of C. MEETS TONIGT. Mrs. A. W.

Settlement of striking book and job printing offices throughout the country as a result of the refusal of employers to accede to demands for a 44-hour week must be effected by, negotiations in each locality, it was said today at headquarters of the International Typographical union. Strikes were begun in a number of offices today to enforce a shorter hour work week, but union officials safd they had as yet no definite report as to the number of men effected. All subordinate unions were authorized to call strikes in offices where the 44-hour week had not be made effective until May 1, according to Walter W. Barrett, vice-president of the international Typographical union The International union will sup port all men on strike for the shorter hour work week, he said. Many Sign Contracts.

Kellog, chairman of a special committee of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, said the pubI Ushers of the country had been as sured by the union leaders that present controversy would not effect the newspapers, unless efforts were made to employ non-union printers in some of the smaller shops which do job printing in addition to newspaper publishing. Mr. Kellog added that accession to the demands for a 44-hour, week by the employing of job printers was apparently not a widespread as the union figures indicated.
