GOVERNORS AT SHOW
SEVA CHIEF EXECUTIVES ATIIVE
STOCK EXHIBITION
Record-Breaking Crowd on Infer
collegiate Stock Judging Day
Fifty Cents Per Pound for
Fat Prize Winner.

,4lCAGO, Dec. A-The fifth day of the
international live stock exposition at
tracted the greatest crowd ever assem-
bled at the Chicago stock yards, the pa
vilions, pens and yards being crowded
really beyond their capacity. High Off
cials of several Western states and Cana
dian provinces were among the specta-
tors, including Gov Shaw, of Iowa; Gov.
Savage, of Nebraska Gov Van SAINT, Of
Minnesota; Gov. Durbin, of Indiana. Gov
Dcckery, OF Missouri; Gov. Toole, of Mon
tana; Gov. Wells. of Utah; Senor Cas-
overas, of Mexico; Senor Alberto Seran-
tes, Of the Argentine Republic, and Hon.
j. H. Dryden, Canadian minister of agri-
culture
An interesting incident of the day was
the selling at auction of the fat Hereford
steer Woods Principal, to which the
championship Of the show was awarded
yesterday. A local packing firm started
the bidding at 25 cents a pound Penny
by penny the price advanced, but so cents
was the limit, and A. G. Swenson, of New
York, was the purchaser.
The annual intercollegiate stock judging
contest for the Spoor trophy was another
feature of the day. There were fifty
seven contestants, representing eight col
leges Of agriculture, from the following
states: Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Ontario Guelph and
North Dakota. Nineteen classes of live
stock were judged. Each class was judg-
ed by a special judge after the students
had judged them, and the students judg-
ment will be compared with that of the
judges.
The winners in this contest probably
will be announced tomorrow
Students of agricultural colleges in the
United States and Canada met this even
ing at the hall of the Chicago live stock
exchange and organized the international
Federation of Agricultural colleges. Pur-
due, Mich; Ontario, Iowa, Illinois, Okla
homa, Minnesota and other colleges were
represented. The object of the organiza-
tion is the promotion of agricultural sci
ence and of good fellowship amcng the
students of agriculture.
The combination sale of Aberdeen-An-
gus breeding stock in the main pavilion
this afternoon was most successful.
Ninety-seven cattle sold at an average
Of $S44 per head.
Tonight closed Governors day" at the
show. Facing throng that packed the
big pavilion, the heads of four of the
leading live stock and farming states Of
the Middle West told how the farmer is
the backbone of the nation" Each
speaker sounded especially the glories
and resources of the state which claims
him as its chief executive. The four
cover ors whose addresses brought the
fifth day of the show to a close were
Shaw, of Iowa; Van SAINT, of Minnesta;
Bliss of Michigan, and Savage, of Ne
braska.
When Gov. Van SAINT got the platform
the crowd greeted him as the man who
has opened the fight on the recent COM
binatlon of railroad interests.
Hit 'em hard! Give it to the octopusr'
was the cry But the governor side
stepped any reference to the anti-cor-
poration fight and confined himself to re-
citing the glories of Minnesota

M'CLEARY IS TOO SWIFT
DAIRYMEN WILL BACK THE TAW-
NEY OLEO BILL
Ambitious Little schoolmaster Finds
"a Rock In His Path Toward
GovernOrship of Min
nesota.
FROM THE GLoBE BUREAU,
WASHINGTON. ID, c..

WASHINGTON, Dec. At has been
decided after all that the Tawney bill
against oleo shall be the measure for
which the dairy interests will make
fight. This in spite of the fact that Nc
Cleary got his bill introduced first. The
Tawney bill differs from McCleary's in
that it does not tax uncolered oleo. AS
originally offered, McCleary's bill would
tax uncolored products a quarter of a
cent pound, but since learning that the
dairy interests favor Tawneys idea Mr..
McCleary has altered his bill to CORE
spond. Both have the feature of 10
cent pound taA on colored oleo.
Right from the beginning McCleary has
been trying to cut in and steal Tawney's
thunder. Tawney led the fight last ses-
sion and the National Dairy union was
satisfied with his work. 1t has been their
plan to work for Tawney's bill this win
ter. Some confusion has been caused by
McC1eary's gratuitous activity, which, 1t
is charged, is inspired solely by desire
to get some advertising in the dairying
districts of Minnesota and bolster UP a
boom which might do him good If he
gets chance later to run for governor.

sofa, in speaking of his attitude in the
proposed consolidation of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railways Il
came here to see the stock show" he
continued, .and for nothing else The
period of talk is past the period of ac-
ton has arrived. We will act imme-
diately; you may be sure of~that have
not called an extra session OF the legisla-
ture, and cannot say now when it Will
be done, or whether or not ii will be done
at all. We will follow the trail that
seems to promise best results We shall
not stand still.
This proposed combine means robbery
There is no other thing to be said about
it. Our people are opposed to 1t. Our
law is plain against it. My oath of Of
flee compels my course. What l have
done has been alone from sense OF duty
and right; what l shall do will be die
tated by right | could assume no other
position, having in view the sanctity of
my oath. I understand that the movers
in the project say that there is no law
against it, and that they will succeed.
Well, they can't do it. They will not
make one those parallel and competing
lines, obviating their natural rivalry and
fixing wrongful rates-not while i am
governor.
Il have not been approached with an
offer of compromise. I have heard Of
no compromise. So far as I know, there
has been no thought of compromise
certainly not by those who have the
safety and well being of Minnesota in
their charge. We think that we see our
way clear, ard we shall follow that way.
I'VE have three ways of reaching these
men, and. If necessary, every way will
be tried. Our railroad and warehouse
commission has the power to fix rates.
1t may, If 1t sees tit, enact prshibitory
tariff on all classes of goods, and force
the combiners to do legitimate business.

hibits the combination OF parallel lines.
The Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern are parallel Good lawyers
seem to question the scope of this law.
1 shall consult with the Minnesota at
torney general about 1t. IF he is Doubt
full about it. can call the legislature in
extra session, and that body can make
law which will fit this particular In
stance. Within the state lines of Min
nesota the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern interests will not weid.'

STRIKE CLOSES MILLS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED mllS ARE OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT.


PITTSBURG, Dec. s4.-The switchmen's
strike, combined with the car shortage, is
blamed for the closing down Of six mills
in Homestead tonight. The mills which
closed are as follows: The 32-inch mill,
the 3S-inch mill, the 4S-inch. the 2S-inch,
Bessemer converting and tfae Blooming
mills. The shut down throws about 800
men out of employment for the time be-
ing and it is said if the situation is not
soon relieved other mills will have to
clcse down. The shutdown tonight will
partially cripple several of the. other
mills, as they get their working ma
terials from the closed mills.
There are $1,000 tons of finished product
in the Homestead yards which cannot be
moved. McKeesport suffers with Hons-
stead and in addition to the shut-downs
there, the merchants are complaining Dit
terly at their inability to get goods in
from the East.
Railroad officials said tonight they were
able to handle in good shape al new
freight and promise that the eongestet
condition in the entire district will soon
be relieved.
