dred head of hogs in this city. The
shipment of car load ar

kept on the Newman farm, southwest

Oakwoods, Texas, and are fine ones.
They will be put on full feed for three
months and then turned to market

investment. The hogs were gathered
from farms in the vicinity of Oak
woods, Texas. Where they will be
marketed remains to be seen and will
depend upon the prices.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Operators em-
pIoyed by the Western Union Tele-
graph company have held mass
meeting at Chicago at which action
was taken which may lead to- a
rupture between the company and ali
of the operators in the Chicago SER

The meeting was attended by about
600 men and 100 women operators, a
large number of whom Joined the UNI

pledged themselves to stand together
in the event that the company. con-
tinues it's refusal to reinstate nine op-
orators discharged in the local offices
in the last week.
1t is asserted that the men were re-
moved because of their zeal in organ
izing employees. Officials or the West

ment, but admitted that the company
will not recognize the union.
Indulge in Strike Talk. .--
Considerable strike talk was indulg-
ed in, although the speeches did not
crystalline into radical action. The only
move calculated to impress the COM
pany with the possibility of open hos
tilitieS was the appointment of COM
mittee which was intrusted with the
management of the situation. This
committee was instructed to CONFER
with the executive board OF the ma
tional telegraphers' union. with a view
to Official action in regard to the dis
charge of the nine employees.

the company was accused of ignoring

simultaneously in twenty-one other
cities of the United States. 1t demand
ed on behalf of the employees a hearing

The resolution concluded with the
declaration that the employees do

President S. ]. Small of the national
