THE FORT WORTH

Managers Say They Could Use Few
More Men.

Fort Worth, Tex, July 10
There appears to be no prospect of
meat famine in this section of the
country on account of the butch
ers' strike at the local packing
house. Both houses are running
with every department organized
Yesterday Armour & Co. bought
$40 head of cattle and today about
the same number and about a hun
d-ed calves. These were killed and
butchered yesterday and today. H.
A. Judd, manager of Armour &
Co., stated this evening that the
plant was being run with plenty OF
laborers, but not quite enough men
in the killing and knife depart
ments. These departments, how
ever, are being supplied with men
as rapidly as possible. Armour &
Co. also slaughtered about sixty
FIVE hogs, purchased on the market
this morning. J. B. Googins, man
ager for Swift & Co., stated this
evening that today they had bought
o75 head Of cattle and calves and
about a hundred head of hogs; that
they were killing all day yesterday
and had bought sufficient cattle to
slaughter all day today.
we are running very nearly up
to our normal capacity, but could
use a few more men. We are en-
ploying men as fast as they come
in, said Mr.. GoogiIs.
Both Armour and Swift are still
feeding and housing the newco-
mers III the plants. The stock
yards company is erecting a fence
under the Swift & Co. viaduct, in
the south end of the yards and Just
beyond the bridge across Marine
Creek on Exchange avenue. ".
B. King, manager of the stock
yards company, stated this evening
that this was being done. not espe-
cially to keep strikers out, but to
keep all undesirable persons OF the
property.
This is only following out the
plans used at all other stockyards,
he said.
A report went the rounds this
morning that four hundred men
had stationed themselves at the
end of the street car track this
morning and were intimidating
men who desired TO go to work.
An investigation showed that the
union men were not guilty of such
conduct, but on the contrary had
posted notices at different points
on the North Side as follows:
I'VE can win if we stand by the
union, if we obey the union rules
to modest no person or persons or
property and abide strictly by the
laws of the country. All men on
strike should retire to their homes
and attend various union meetings

The Prairie Dog.

An old cherished superstition about
the prairie dog Is thus ruthlessly
brushed aside In the American Natural
History by William 4. Hornaday:
II is not true that the prairie dog
lives in peace aud harmony in the same
burrow with the rattlesnnke and bur
rowing owl. The snakes would make
short work OF the young prairie dogs,
and the Inter would quickly kill the
owl! 1t is safe TO surmise that when
a deadly and quarrelsome RATHER in
vades the home OF prairie dog fam
lily the latter speedily seeks a home
elsewhere. The burrowing owl is In
the habit OF taking refuge In abandon
ed burrows and nesting In them TO save
the Labor Of digging a burrow for H.

experiment OF assOciating burrowing
owls and prairie dogs The owls were

Pooling the Negro.

We fully agree with the Washing
ton Post ''that the negro plank in
the Republican platform is merely an
appeal for tie negro vote in close
Northern States-simply that and
nothing more" The Post goes on to
say: "Our esteemed Southern con-
temporaries are, we think, taking
much too seriously what they call
the negro plank in the Chicago
platform. 1t is in the last degree
i'm probable that the declaration is in
tended as anything more than a bid
for the negro vote in certain North
ern States which may become doubt
full if the Democrats should act wise
ly at St. Louis. Nobody really be-
lieves that the election laws in Vir-
ginia. the Carolinas, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana can be success
fully attacked. AS a matter of fact,
the United States Supreme Court has
already pronounced upon most Of them
and proclaimed their entire validity"
The Post, we think, is right. If it
was not for the business men Of the
North the Republican politicians
might attempt to carry out the ne
gro plank" but they are afraid of the
business men of the North, who have
large interests io the South, and would
rfsent any attempt on the part of the
Republican party to interfere with
the solution of the negro question by
the Southern people. The Republi-
cans are at Their old trick Of fooling
the negro.
