The Willrich prison labor bill was de-
feated IN the house Thursday by a de-
cisive vote. 1t was strongly opposed by
many on the ground that it would plunge
the state into an untried and extrava.
CANT system. The bill reported by the
prison labor committee was then taken
up and passed. 1t is our impression Mr.
Barr had hand in formulating the lat
ter bill. 1t provides for combination
of the contract and state account system

MEAT FOR THE MILLION.
Plenty OF Good Cattle Obtainabie
In Minnesota for SIaughterinR
Purposes.

There's no more chance ola short
age of beef, pork and mutton in Mime
sofa during the next few days nor dur
ing the coming year than there is of our
having an earthquake this minute" said
President Fitch, of the South st. Paul
Live Stock association, Yesterday.
"Why," said he, I'VE know of plenty of
good cattle that are held awaiting the de-
mands of consumers in Minnesota.
They will be brought here instead of 60
ing to Chicago as heretofore. That's the
difference. Instead of slaughtering
twenty or thirty head of cattle each day
at South st. Paul, we will soon slaughter
300 or 400 head per day, and We know
where they are to be obtained just as
fast as they are wanted, most of them
right In the state, too-good, healthy
stock. All their owners want If fair
market, and the demand here will bring
the stock right along"
"Will the supply Of good cattle keep
up with the demand?"
'"Yet sir, a portion will come from To-
wa, of course, until the Minnesota farm
ers renew the business of cattle feeding
and go into that branch more extensive
| ly; but the interests of these two states
are closely allied and we can use a great
deal of Iowa corn for feeding in this
state. Even now there are more fat cat
| tie in Minnesota than those outside OF
the business would suppose. There is 9
large stock of meats on hand and with
| the fat stock now obtainable on short
notice, there must be enough to supply
the state for the next few days. By the
end of the week we can be running or
the new deal, and the slaughter houses
some of which have been almost out o
business, can and will be, if the demand
increases, running at their full capac
ity."
"How many head can they slaugh
ter?" ...-
"Well, of cattle, for instance, the st
Paul Meat and Provision company, the
South st. Paul houses and those at the
Transfer can run up to 1000 head pei
day. A good many head will be slaugh
tered in the country for local trade, ant
i while some localities may not be pre-
pared for the change, they will sool
have all the meat they want. Their
might be little inconvenience at som,
places for a very few days, but the PEG
pie, knowing the situation, should bea
with this until the new order of thing
is adjusted
