Labor pact ends wage cut while preserving eight hour day
Washington March 23 The war time wage reductions of 8 cents an hour for hourly workers and 12 percent for piece workers are kept. The basic eight hour day and overtime rates remain, with a six month extension of Judge Alschuler's arbitration role. Employers and employees call it a truce as mediation by Secretary Davis and government pressure help avert an immediate strike in the packing industry.

Reds to End Propaganda
Washington March 23 Consideration by the United States of resuming trade relations with the Russian soviet government appeared possible after Lenine appealed for a conference and offered to send an official delegation. Officials noted scrutiny of the British Russian trade pact and hinted at broader readings of Wilson era policies. The Moscow note urged regularizing relations and said the soviet republic aims to avoid intervening in American affairs while promising to exclude propaganda. A large shipment of gold from Stockholm is routing to the United States with ownership to be settled in courts. Some officials say formal recognition of the soviet government is needed before trade resumes.
