TO see what they could do. The ex-
porters didn't do thing at Kansas
City but go on the market and buy
269 cars. The Armours got 5000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs and 5000 sheep. The strike
of the forty engineers at the Armour
packing establishment, in Kansas City,
as reported last week, did not result
as serious as was expected. BY many
it was thought, when the company
sought the aid of the federal courts to
prevent a general boycott on the Ar
mour company's products, that the
situation was serious and in a small
establishment the quitting of forty
operatives would tend to disarrange
matters; but when forty men attempt
to check or delay the wages of 1900
men and women who have no other
visible means of support but their
daily labors, it is a serious matter,
and many are glad to note that no
serious results have followed AS this
is the largest establishment of its kind
in the world, a tie-up would affect
the entire farming and stock growing
portion of the United States; and while
numbers regret very much that such
condition exists. the closing down of
this Enlistment would virtually
ruin the already crippled market on all
kinds Of live stock and cause many
farmers to lose very heavily.
LIGHT RUNS FOR SUMNER.
It looks now as though the last of
June would find packers looking for
something to pack. Good authorities
claim that not more than $4,000 cattle
are left in Texas for the early mar
ket. This number would not last a
week in Kansas City alone. In the
Indian Territory ST. 800 have gone to
pasture, with more to follow soon, dis
tributed as follows: One hundred and
eighty-seven thousand in the Creek
and Choctaw Nation; 100000 in the
Usage; $4,000 IN the ChickasaW, and
$4,000 in the Kiowa and Comanche
countries-the heaviest move since
1892. In one pasture on the Cherokee
reserve are grazing today $4,000 young
steers, just up from Texas to spend
the summer
