ROADS FIRM IN THEIR POSITION A;bitmtors To Be Presented With Grievance—Employes Holding Conference " ONE HUNDRED IN WAGE DISPUTE | Conductors And Trainmen Di;:cussing Stand Taken By Fifty Eastern Lines New York, July 18.—The genera committee of 100 of the Brotherhool of Railway Trainmen and the Order * of Railway Conductors went into ses- sion here to consider a communica tion from the Kastern radroad mana- gers, announcing that tine roads would insist on presenting their own griev- ances before the arbitration board which is to settle the wage dispute. Whether the unions are to sanctior this move of the roads may be decided at the present meeting. What the roads demand would, if granted, mean a big saving. Among other things they would abolish guarantees and double compensation and reduce by 20 per cent the pay of brakemen in states where the extra crew bill is op- erative. The conference adjourned shortly NUMBER T71.

In an article to this paper he gives reasons and tells of the kind of cattle to buy. The article in full is as follows. for “The Farmers of Northern Min- nesota” to raise all things considered, is a quetion of no small importance, It should be the aim of every farmer engaged in stock,raising to make a close study ‘of his environments and select the ‘breed of cattle that will give him the best returns for his money, time, labor, and feed. a great deal written about the “Dual meaning milk and beef qualities in some animals but for all‘ i that I\.as_fieen written or said on this the combination of subject the idea has not been driven ‘home to “The Farmers of Northern Minnesota" with sufficient force. “There are no two ways.about it, 1 that the cow that combines milk and beef qulmes with the right colored lnde, frame, money maker for her owner by right color coverm" her I mean one whose color is not |discriminated against in the stock market, which is the final finish of practically all cattle. “When you are through with your ow for milk purposes you surely | want to realize as much as you can, {and a desirable color such as a rich |red for instance will help a freat deal Mr. Swanson was formerly at the |when she reaches the stock yards.

Sires of the dual type who are strong enough to reproduce their qualities when crossed with the common cows kept on the average farm will give you in the main a cow which will not dis- grace herself as a milk cow at the creamery or cheese factory. The but- cher will have his eye on her, and if any thing should happen (even old age) to disqualify her for milk pur- poses she will bring you a handsome sum on the butcher’s block. _And this is not all, grade steers from exclusive dairy sires are very nearly worthless in the feed lot, but grade steers from dual purpose sires, particularly Red Polled and some families of the short horn breed, make first class feeders..
