at the present moment Is very IMPORT
ant In the forming Of any judgment
Of the merits Of the case between the
steel corporation and the strikers.
The only constituent companies dis.
tlnctly affected are three, the Amerl.
can Steel Hoop. the American Sheet
Steel and the American Tin Plate.
One other company that the Amalga-
mated association might be able to
affect would be the Federal Steel COM
pany. on account of the Illinois Steel
works. which form the nucleus Of
that constituent company.
Non-union Plants Can Duplicate.
"The American Steel and Wire
company. which Is non-union, can
duplicate practically all tho business
of the Steel Hoop company The
Carnegie Steel company Is also non
union. Several of the constituent.
companies together would be able to
duplicate the American Sheet Steel
company's production. The only ono
Of the three companies whose bust.
ness In the event Of widespread
and continued strike would be actu.
ally stopped is the tin plate com.
pany.
THE question between the strik.
ers and the company has nothing to
do with wages or hours. both Of
which are equal 10. II not better than
.he union scale. The sole item of
Importance in the demand of the
rtrikers is the insistence that ton.
union men, employed In non.union
mills, on union wages. shall be dis
charged by the company il they do
not join the union.
THE steel corporation officers have
taken their position in fiat opposition
to that demand and do not propose to
change it. For the steel corporation
to have ma lie any other decision would
have meant that 1t had no future.
Fighting For self-Protection.
"For our own sakes we were com.
PEELED to fight this morning. Should
the demands Of the association at
any time become too exhorbtant we
should have to rely upon the non
unionists for protection. Without
that protection we should be con-
stantly subjected to tyranny. 1t Is
true that the fight does not involve
any question Of wages. But the next
SIep WHICH, WOulu inevitably De taken
by the workmen, should they become
organized into one compact body,
would be for higher wages and for
shorter hours. These concessions
might be asked when the condition
OF the steel market would not permit
OF any increase in the cost of pro-
auction. What remedy would we
have under those circumstances il
the project which the association is
aiming at were carried out?
THE motive for the present strike
is easily perceptible and Mr.. Shaffer
and his agitators will not be long in
finding out that for once public opin-
ion will be ON the side of the en-
rloyer."
Officers Of the United States Steel
corporation and Of the American Tin
Plante and American Sheet Steel
companies were places Of considera-
BILE animation throughout the day.

A GOOD EXPERIMENT
Cattle Fattening Trial to be
 Tried in COchise County

Director McClstchie of the eIperi-
 mental farm furnishes the following result Of sn experiment in cattle feed ing. The bunch of steers upon which fet ding experiments have been m de at the experimental farm during tine past year was cod recently to 6 San Diego buyer. Owing to their superior condition, the his hes, price paid for any bunch this sesson was received for them-$i. 30 per cwt. Though but two yesrs old, their average shrunk weight was 1.070 pounds. The experiments in feeding cattle were insugursted little over & year ago by Prof G H True, who Is in charge of the department of animal hust andry sf the experimsn. station. The experiments included testing the effect of feeding alfalfa hay alone, of feeding sifalfs hay combined with csrbonsceous fodders, and of alfalfa pastursge supplemented with alfalfa hay and other dry folders. Each animal was weighed each week, the effect oi the different methods of feed- irg being thus carefully recorded. The results of these experiments are to be published in a bulletin from the station. The next series of expen- ments ip feeding beef csttle is to be conducted upon 6 bunch of cslve. from Colonel Rockers Cochise county ranch.
