AS each branch is represented upon
an absolute equality, and maintains
Its Independence, there can be no in
reference with each other, but full
opportunity Is given to work in har-
mony upon approved lines The gen.
eral prosperity of the industry as a
whole is the broad ground of mutual
interest that is expected to bring
unity of action, and the opportunity
for a better understanding of the
conditions and necessities of each
branch is expected to result In reliev-
ing much of the friction that has
heretofore existed.
Objects TO BE Attained.
1. To allay friction between the
various branches and interests of the
industry by providing an opportunity
to confer with each other readily,
thus producing a better understand
ing of the conditions and necessities
of each and the obstacles with which
each has to contend. Friction is ex-
pensive in economic as well as me-
chanical affairs.
2. To encourage more advanced
and scientific methods in the produc-
| ton, transportation. marketing and
manufacture of livestock.

industry in all of it's branches along
both educational and commercial
lines.

and disseminating vital statistics and
other valuable information in rela-
! ton to the livestock of commerce.
and as far as possible, to eliminate
the present uncertain knowledge re-
garding the supply.
8. To develop plans for a better
distribution of livestock on the mar
kets. and to eliminate as far as pos
sible the present disposition to over
supply and glut the larger markets at
critical times.
6. To encourage and assist In bet
ter organizations within the various
branches, to the end that there may
be more intelligent action and a more
stable base to the industry.
Method OF Operation.
AS the central committee will be
composed of repre-: ntatives of all
the principal branches and interests
of the industry, backed by a repre-
sentative committee of leading men
in each branch, the association may
claim to represent the whole indus
l tr-x- In n t.,
words. the power of the whole indus
! try is focused into this working body
of few representative business
men. This committee will agree upon
the policy to be adopted and the
methods to be employed to secure the
results desired 1t will estimate the
amount of capital required to carry
out its plans. and will assess each
branch or interest the proportion
each is expected to provide. based
upon an equitable division. The work
of this committee will be executive in
character. but each general commit
tee will be kept in close touch with
the work. AS far as possible the oper-
ations will be along approved com.
mercial lines, with the objects out.
lined above in view.
In matters where there is a con.
flict between branches represented
the first effort must be devoted to.
wards securing a perfect understand.
ing as to the actual points of conflict
and by conferences between such in.
terests seek to bring about, IL possible
the elimination of the cause of con-
flict. Where this is found to be i'm
possible, such matters will have to be
adjusted outside of the association
and in such manner as the interests
involved may determine, it being un.
derstocd that each interest alway,
possesses the right to adjust such
matters in the manner and by tn,
method as seems most advantageou,
