CHICAGO, Jan. 2 - The CIO-
United Packinghouse Workers Union
announced today its 200,000 mem-
bers would go out on strike Jan. 16
in 147 packing plants, large and
small, throughout the nation in sup-
port of its demand for a wage in-
crease of 25 cents an hour.
Lewis J. Clark, the union's inter-
national president, announcing the
strike call at the news conference,
declared the meat packers could pay
the demanded wage boost without an
increase in meat prices.
Declaring that "the only thing
that will prevent this strike is a sub-
stantial wage increase," Clark said
the union would be willing to accept
a 172 cents hike now, then negoti-
ate the balance later when the na-
tion's general wage picture becomes
clearer.
Blames Companies
Asserting that "The meat packing
companies forced this strike upon
us," Clark said that under present
wages the majority of workers soon
would earn $30 or less for a 40 hour
week. He said the cost of living had
gone up more than 40 per cent since
1941 but the union's 25 cents an hour
increase demand was only a 30 per
cent increase over average hourly
earnings in the industry of 87 cents
an hour.
J. E. Wilson, general superinten-
dent of Swift and Company Meat
Packing Plants, said: "We regret
that the officials of the UPWA-CIO
have seen fit to announce that the
un ion will gi on strike beginning
Jan. 16. The immediate effect oI
such a strike would be a curtailment
of meat supplies to consumers and
the armed forces. This would alsc
sharply curtail our purchases of
livestock. Swift and Company has
been negotiating with officials of the
union for some weeks and we hope
that these negotiations will continue
without interruption to the com-
pany's operations."
Negotiations Continue ,
A Cudahy spokesman said "Nego-
tiations with the union are still in
progress."
Other major packers did not com-
ment immediately.
The strike would affect the large
companies, Armour, Cudahy, ,Swift,

Major General Donald W. Brann,
'14-'15, was killed Saturday when he
fell 100 feet from a cliff while hunt-
ing in the mountainous Austrian
Tyrol.
He had been serving as deputy
commander of American forces in
Austria. He was buried in an Ameri-
can Military cemetery at Castelfeor-
entino, Italy.
General Mark Clark in speaking of
Brann said, "he was an able general
with an excellent record in both
World Wars. His death was a deep
personal blow to me and a serious
loss to the United States forces in
Austria. His contributions to the
Allies' victorious campaign in Italy in
G-3 (organization and training) for
the Fifth Army and later the Fif-
teenth Army Group was outstanding.
As my deputy commander in Austria
he was at all times of invaluable as-
sistance and earned the respect of
all those with whom he was associ-
ated."
Brann is the fourth star man who
graduated from the University to
have been killed while in service.
Brigadier General Gustav Braum,
'26-'27, was killed in action in Italy
March 17, 1945; Rear Admiral Theo-
dore E. Chandler, M.S.E. '22, in the
South Pacific area January, 1945;
and Major General Edwin D. Patrick,
L '15-'16, in an inspection of the

1945.
Local Tipplers
Good as Gold
New Year's Eve
Ann Arbor celebrated a "very quiet
New Year" according to Police Lieu-
tenant Roland Gainsley, and a report
from the Sheriff's Office.
Only four arrests resulted from
over-participation in welcoming in
1946. Of seven accidents New Year's
Eve and Morning, one was because
too much was inside and not enough
topside.
Either riotous parties were few
(Washtenaw County is "dry") or the
local populace was all too preoccupied
to report many of them. Six com-
plaints were registered with the Po-
lice Department, but "it was early,
and you have to give them one night
a year."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 -(/)- To
the GI who married several wives on
a South Pacific isle and wanted to
bring them back while he went to col-
lege in hopes of collecting $15 a
month for each of them under the
GI Bill of Rights - the answer is no.
Other people have tried something
like it, government officials reported
today, and have failed because:
1. The Veterans Administration
recognizes but one spouse; it won't
pay any benefits for more than one.
2. The Immigration Service won't
permit more than one wife to enter
the United States.
The soldier said he believed he ac-
quired the wives legally, because it
"was according to native custom."
"It's the way they do business in
this tribe," he wrote. "The chief
wanted fishhooks. I had fishhooks.
He had too many women. I didn't.
So we made a deal.
The soldier had said he wanted to
attend the University of Michigan.
