A Cowboy Strike.

Telegraph advices from the Pan

cowmen and cowboys In regard to rates
of pay. Particulars beyond the bare
facts of the existence of the trouble
have not been ascertained owing to
quarantine from smallpox Mt Mobeetie.
The, boys are Mt Tascosa and strike for
fifty dollars per month; they will have
meeting on April LIST and decide their
programme. IL is reported that two
hundred are In the movement and the
talk Is of range burning, and wire-
fence cutting If their demand is not
granted.
Heretofore men have been paid on
their merits, receiving different prices
although in some instances where
large numbers of hands were employed
some regular scale has been established
However there is n great difference in
cowboys as workmen, some being worth
almost any money rs faithful servants
while others are not worth the horses
and calves they kill.
The sooner this business is amically
settled, the better ii will be for all
parties interested. Cowmen and cow
boys on any but good terms with each
other will destroy confidence on the
one side and interest on the other
making change in temper and spirit
which can be but Unsatisfactory
to employer and employee.
In the absence of particulars, it is
useless to make further remark, except
that cowboys worthy of the name, are
well worth treating with liberality, are

pay, but when demands are actually
made accompanied by threats of law
lessness, the adjustment of difficulties
can only be difficult. - Texas Lioe
