Most of the meat cutters and butchers were at work as usual this week despite the strike order. In some instances, it was said, the | strike order issued by the union! leader in Evanston were openly re- pudiated by meatcutters who declar- ed they were generally satisfied with present conditious and had no desire to leave their work and inflict a hardship on their families. The' opinion: among such men, it was ex- plained, was: that the strike was un- warranted and came without the con- sent or yoice of the workmen on the northv shore. They had not been notified. of .a session of the union said to have been held in Evanston on Monday, November 17. . Practically all of the meat cutters on the north shore are receiving a wage equal to or higher than the stipulated minimum wage of the union. Though delegates of the union ap- peared in some north shore shops this week for the purpose of dis- couraging men who persisted in hold- ing their jobs, there was no violence and no instances reported where the men heeded the requests of the union representatives. Officials in the various Villages stated firmly to the proprietors that no "rough work" would be tolerated in their towns and that who desired to remain at their jobs would be dealt with in summary fashion. Four shops in Evanston were re- ported early this week to have agreed to the Union demands with certain} concessions on the part of the union. Union officials in Evanston this week announced their intention of making no concessions but to fight the market proprietors to the finish. The objected strenuously to the term "strikers" commonly applied to them. It was not a strike, they. declared, but a plain lockout by the employers. Not Mach Need For "Job Census" Here Governor Lowden December I as "Job Census Day" in Illinois. He has issued a proclama- tion intended to stimulate employers to,provide possitions for every ex- sesvice: man who. is not now working. There is practically no occasion for the survey on the north shore. The governor's proclamation reads in party "Exmployers are in great need of competent nen. There is an erron- cots'! impression on the part of some em pldy efs 'that the men do not want work. Many men have also formed the' impression' 'that there is no work fot! th em.- I correct these false im- pigssions on both sides is desirable. [herefore, Moaday, December 1, has designated 1919, is designated as "Job Census day" for the state of Illinois, and all manufacturers and other employers in this state are asked to furnish a list of all opportunities for employ- ment existing in their various plants and shops as of that date. "All unemployed ex-service men who have not previously registered for employment are requested to re- gister their names and needs with the 'local chamber of commerce, welfare organization, or bureau for returning soldiers on or before Dec. 1, 1919. "All citizens are called lend their best effort and influence to the success of this work."
