Four liours' stubborn Ftght with
Fire In the schwarsschiid a suis-
berger beef House In Chicago.

Chicago. Jan. l6.-Thirty-five COM
panies OF Chicago firemen for four
hours fought fire in the beef storage
department OF Schwarzschild 4 Sulz-
berger company, at the stockyards.
and when the fire was finally put out,
not over 5000 damage had been done.
The peculiar conditions surrounding
the place where the fire had its origin
was what caused all the trouble. In
order TO retain a frigid atmosphere in
the beef storage section sawdust had
been packed into a space eight feet
wide between the walls. This saw
dust became ignited, presumably from
spontaneous combustion, and although
streams of water from more than q
score of engines were poured into the
space between the walls II had no no.

hours. All this time the men we're

factors in the control Of the organiza-
ton
The cattlemen. horse and swine
growers. together with representatives
OF some OF the affiliated industries. re-
fused to agree to the new constitution,
withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable. and formed a new
organization under the name OF tho
American Stock Growers association.
whose aim will be to WELD dominant
influence in the interest OF the cattle
grower
The cattlemen have from the first
strongly opposed the admission into
their organization OF the packers. and
particularly OF the railroads They
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
ganization which included their rep
resentatives among the members Of its

The detection in the ranks OF tho
association came after a long session.
