added that the beef butchers upon their

This evening Mr.. Armour, TO stand by
his oft-made assertion that the packers
could better afford a concession 10 the beef
men than TO the pork men, instructed MS
manager TO give all the beef men who re

cents per day over the Old rates. Some
time after the strike lad been declared at
