The Amalga mated Meat Cattern and Butchers union ordered a nationwide strike vote in all packing centers in the United States and Canada. No strike will occur until after President Harding acts on the appeal and peaceful methods are exhausted. Court action to block wage cuts could delay action beyond the vote.
