STOCK RAISERS SORE.
They Complain of the Tactics
of the Beef Trust

North Dakota stock raisers are UP in
arms at the treatment they are re-
ceiving on the Chicago stock market.
Prices have steadily declined for beef
cattle on foot since the Inauguration of
the beef packers strike some six weeks
ago. Yesterday. shippers were receiv-
ing $1.50 per hundred weight less than
before the strike. There has, it is said,
been no reduction to the consumers,
and on the other hand, it is asserted,
that the retailers are forced to pay
about. 81 more per hundred for their
supply of beef for the trade than be-
fore the strike
A. N. Jeffrey, a prominent stock man
Of Dickinson, N. D., was in st. Paul
yesterday on his way home from Chi
cago, where he had taken a train load
of fat steers to the market, and he
in desperate straits as result Of the
squeezing to which they are being sub
jected by the beef trust.
with the largest product of range
fed beef in our state since 1893," he
said, I'VE are receiving lower prices
than for some years. The Chicago
market has steadily declined since the
strike Of the packers began, until now
we are receiving $1.50 per hundred less
for our cattle than we were before the
trouble started. The buyers assign the
reduction in price to the strike, but we
are not certain that they are telling
the truth when they are getting about
81 hundred more for the dressed ar
ticle than before the strike.
Il took train load of cattle to mar
ket on Monday Of this week and had
taken train in week ago. The re-
duction from two years ago means
loss of about $500 car. Top notch
prices then were 1878, as against $3.50
now, and the growers feel that condi-
tons do not warrant any such slump
in the price of cattle on foot We hard
ly know what to do, for we have the
cattle in prime condition and they
must be sold.
'Pasturage this year has been fine
and no better range cattle were ever
delivered to the market than the North
Dakota product now being marketed.
Steers from three to four years old are
being sold, and the range stock of the
Northwest easily takes precedence over
that from the Southwest. The tactics
of the beef trust are quite likely to
drive some of the growers out of bust
ness if persisted in.''

BARBER FINED FOR
CALLING COPPER NAMES
Philip Smell Warmed Not to Do More
Work Than Customers Want

Philip Smell. the barber, charged with
obstructing the streets by soliciting
trade, with disorderly conduct, for
calling a police officer names and with
the larceny of 65 cents from John
Blacksma, was tried in the police court
yesterday. He was found guilty of
disorderly conduct and fined SIS. The
other charges Were dismissed by the
prosecuting attorney.
Smell testified that he charged
Blacksma only for the service render
ed and that Blacksma ordered the
work done. The farmer asserted that
he merely received a hair cut and q
shave, but when on the witness stand
his memory was haZy as to the work
he ordered.
While imposing the fine Judge Hine
warned Smell that he should not urge
country customers TO have more work
done than they wanted, saying that if
similar charges were made against
him in the future the record in the
cases would tend to prove imposition.

BUTCHERSTO REFUSE
st. Paul Packing House En-.
pIoyes Won't Strike

Union butchers employed by indie
pendent packing houses in st. Paul
Will not obey the order of their presi-
dent, M. j. Donnelly, to strike, this
being made evident by the declaration
OF the men that nothing would be gain
ed by local strike.
An order has been received from
Chicago ordering the 800 men employ
ed in the four comparatively important
packing houses, and the 100 working
FOR individual butchers to strike, but
the men have announced that they will
not attend the meeting of the union,
If one is called, to ratify the order.
The butchers claim that so far as st.
Paul is concerned the strike has been
lost, and that If they should walk out
and cripple the independent packers
they would lose everything they have
gained in the struggle heretofore. A
number Of the men secured work with
the independents as result of the
boycott declared by all the unions in
the Northwest on meat produced by
So-cal1ed members of the trust.
All the local concerns, including Nc
Cormick, Staples & King, Mcmillan and
a small house at Midway are running
to their full capacity, and often run
two shifts. All meat they send out
bears the union label and if the union
men strike this will be removed and
the products of the trust concerns can
not be distinguished from that pro-
duced by the Independents.
A number of the men who have re-
NAMED true to the union throughout
the contest insist that 1t will not bene-
fit the strikers if a meat famine is
produced, but argue that the result
would be greatly to the disadvantage of
the independent packers.
George Willis, president of the local
union, is understood to be opposed
to the strike order, while George Steep.
business agent and practically in con-
troll of union affairs here, believes that
Donnelly should be supported.

showing falling off of $3.50. This was
due to the fact that less sales were
made.
A feature of the report is that while
1886 more males took baths this year
than year ago. the females going into
the water were this year 1859, as com
pared with 1852, showing a decrease
of 1880.
