open door through which the railroads

The cattle. horse and swine grow
eIs,toggetlier with representatives.
some of The animated Industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitution
Withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable, and yesterday aft
ernoom formed Il new organization I'M
der the name of the American Stock
Growers association, whose aim it will
be to WELD a dominant influence in the
interest of the cattle grower.
Roughly speaking, the sheep grow
ers, commission men and the stock
yards interests remained with the Ma
.tional Live Stock associations, and the
actual growers of all other animals
for the market have gone with the
new organization. That cattlemen from
the first We're strongly opposed to the
admission into their organization of the
packers and especially of the railroads.
They claimed that these two interests
would ultimately dominate the cattle
growing industry of the country to the
detriment of the individual grower,
and they refused To remain in an or
g~anization which included their repre-
sentatives among the members of its
central body.
