ported on the reform proposed in the Unit
ed States statues. extending 20 reason
able time the limitations legally existing
preventing the intelligent handling Of
livestock ESPECIALLY OF stock cautle IN
ears whne in transit,) and
Whereas, 1t Is the concurrent belief on
the part OF the practical livestock deal
ers, that it more humane, except in ex-
tremely warm weather. when practical
judgment must prevail TO extend the time
of limitation while I'm transit TO forty
eight hours except in June, July, August
and September. And that the unloading
and loading thus doubly augumenting the
distressing conditions, adds injury and ex-
cessive fnhumanity rather than diminish
ing same. for which the so-called twenty
eight hour law was passed TO abate.
Therefore, be dt
Resolved, That II ds the sense Of ghis
convention that when actual values are
concerned an the handling OF livestock.
