total about fifty-two carloads of twenty
five cattle to a car. This is expected TO
be the last shipment of cattle TO be re-

AS result Of a conference between
President Al KceChler of the Livestock
Exchange and a committee OF the striking,
yardmen employed at the Stock Yards
the commission men and their immediate
employees are not to be interfered with to-
day in the care of such live stock that
may arrive.
The fact that the yardmen went out on
a strike the same time that the packing
house employees struck placed the COM
mission men in an embarrassing position
as they had to personally look after live
stock that came TO the yards.
The commission men received commu-
nication from the striking yardmen asking
them not to do yardmen's duty, not to
have their employees do this duty, and TO
refrain from any further yard work
President keechler called a meeting of the
livestock Exchange. which decided that
1t was strictly neutral in the strike, but
that the live stock which had come into
the wards had to he fed.
President Kecchler was then empowered
to confer with the striking yardmen and
he informed them that it was expected
that all of the cattle in the yards would
be cleaned DIP to-day. The yardmen's
union approved the action of the commits
siormen.
Some killing was done at the three pack
