TWO POINTS GAINED
Denver Live stock Congress Win Be
 field Just the same

Denver. April 2S.--No alteration will hc made in the plans of the promoters oi the National Live Stuck Cougrcss scheduled io bc held here May 8 ID con. sequence of conversions made hy live stock carrying roads These conccs- sions to date arc:
 Ahrugaiion of the tonnage system. SO far as live stock hauling is concerned.
 Restoration oi return transportation to live stock shippers.
 These conversions constitute two oi ihe main blanks tn the memorial Prs- scnicd to traffic managers al the Chi cago conference tn January. Ina, oi rates has still io bc attended la.
 "We have accomplished more and in less time than we anticipated said Secretary Chas F. Martin oi the Ma iional Live Stock Association, who ar ranged the Chicago conference. When they agreed to abandon the tonnage system, better service was insurel. Now comes restoration oi the return pass and next thing We know the other principal grievance will be attended to"
 Coming just prior Ia the Denver con ference, abolition oi ihe tonnage system and restoration of the return pass is cal culAted io take the wind out oi any sails that have been trimmed for speculator  navigation. Live stock men recognize the timely nature oi railroad action in this instance and regard II as a conces- sion.
 Looks as though our railroad friends recognize the value of restoring the good feeling formerly existing between us and them. said big caiileman who Is on the ground floor ready to take in next week meeting. II doubt, how ever, if VIC would have gained as much but for the agitation Q: the past few months and the organization that has been planned since the Chicago confer ence.''
 News from Chicago today greatly clar- ifies the situation IL will permit fra ierniEing between railroad and live stock men during the coming meeting on much more amicabie terms. At least score oi 'big guns" will be on the ground representing the principal railroad interests, their task being that oi placaiing the caiileman.
 Promoters of the congress today as sert that these concessions will m no way interfere with the national move ment as planned.
