returned to Fort Worth from ST Louis
where he had been In attendaI CO upon
the convention If csttlemen and butch
ers, in which he took leading part IS
the president OF the mos. Influential or
gin.zStion OF rangemen in Americs. He
wss asked by 8 reporter for his views
upon tina results OF the convention,
whether it had been success or not, the
accounts received IN Texas IF the pIo-
ceedings having lead many 10 believe that
split hsd occurred which had inter-
fered with the BUSINESS Of the meeting.
"1bere WAS no split" said Mr.. An
dreWs. "E 1tire harmony prevailed
among those who attended the conven-
! ton IN response to the call sent ont by
the two national Organizations which
| worked 1t up. There were some butchers
l and commission men, some OF whom rep,
resented the big four, and others Of whom
were working in the interest Of that same
combine, who wanted the convention
made open, which would mean that
would be packed by representatives
OF the Chicago ring. The Internotionsl
! Range Association and the Butchers
{ Nstional Protective Association, however,
! had appointed oint conference COM
mi.tee, which had drawn ups plan OF
procedure end had drafted resolutions
which were TO be subject to the approval
OF the whole convention. The plan Of
procedure formulated stipulated that
part in the convention could be
taken only OF those who favored
! the establishment OF competitive
markets over the country, and as this
limit Gid not include the ubjec.ing Chi
cago riDgsters. they had to be excluded
from the regular convention. The regu-
lar convention then came together and
passed, substantially, the resolutions
drawn up By the joint committee, which
were IN favor Of the passage Of local
cattle and meat inspection laws by the
various state legislatures, the object be-
Ing 10 prevent the Importation Ct
dressed meat from one state into
ano her, the passage OF which
would mean the establishment OF at least
one market for cattle in each state. The
d. lectiDg attendants on the convention
got together 81 another place and passed
reso!uuoIs favoiing national inspection
of cattle. AS national inspection would
not preclude the carrying of dressed mea.
from one state to another such sction
would have no Influence toward the es-
Enlistment CT CON petitive markets,
and was, therefore. entirely for
eigu to the object for which
the convention had been called. Federal
| inspection in the opinion CT rsngemer
would not De so satisfactory to the con-
sumers as would locsl inspection, as
people would have more cor fldsnce in

persoDslly among them than OF one CT
