 THE TRUST Western StOCkmen
 Waking Up.
Will Establish an Independ- ent Packing Plant National Live StOck, As- sociati0n Behind Them To Push Things.

Denver, Col, March 24.-The News to-day says: That the stockmen of the west, backed by the powerful National Livestock association, mean to carry out their project of establishing an in- dependent packing plant to fight the so-called beef trust, is evidenced by the option that has been taken upon the packing plant of Jacob Dold of Kansas City. This option is now in the hands of Vice. President l.. F. Will son and Treasurer F. W. Flato of the organization, according to Secretary Charles F. Martin of the association. The Dold packing house has been one of the strongest competitors of the trust. It's capacity is sufficient to kill 2,OOO head of cattle, 4,O00 hogs and as many sheep daily. According to Mr Martin the capacity is great enough to answer the business of the stockmen.
 Chicago. March 24.-The .closed shop may be demanded in the stock yards, with the alternative of gen. eral strike. Notice has been served on one packing firm that unless 1t aban- doned efforts to disrupt the union the closed shop would be called for, and that the 35,OOO union men in the yards would enforce the demand.
 Complaints have been made to the officials of the packing trades council that several of the packers have hired men to create discontent among the unionists. Michael Donnelly, presi- dent of the Amalgamated Meat Cut ters and Butcher Workmen, investf- gated and says he found the complaints we'll founded.
 The unions in the stock yards re- gently formed close alliance, and some of the organizations are said to have been preparing all winter for a fight The present agreements in the stock yards are verbal, but wages and hours of labor are fixed annually by committees representing the packers and the men.
