Johnny Wall Retires After SO
Years Work.
Champion Cattle Driver for Armour
and Company Quits on $1,000 a
Year for Life After Long
Service.

Chicago.-Johnny Wall, the oldest
cattle buyer in the stock yards, ap-
peared at the Offices of Armour &
Co., and was notified that he was one
OF the first men to receive the bene-
fits of the pension fund to which ].
Ogden Armour contributed $1,000, 900.
Johnny, you can go home now and
you needn't push any more steers, be-
cause the trustees of Armour & Co.
have pensioned you of at $1,000 a year
for the rest of your iife," said John
Brown, the head cattle buyer, to Wall.
For a few minutes Wall, who had
faithfully served his employers for 33
years, stood silent.
Tears began to stream down his
cheeks.
Il don't like to give up work." he
said.
He looked toward the rows of pens
in the stock yards through which he
had tramped for nearly twoscore
years. and as he pointed his old hick-
DRY cane, the veteran cattle buyer
said:
Il remember Wnen we mad Dut a
few pens in the yards, but the COM
mercial world has moved so fast that
I suppose I'll have to give up for
younger blood"
Wall earned the title Of champion
COW puncher many years ago. One
day a herder employed by Swift & Co.
claimed the title after he had driven
a single herd Of LOO cattle to their
death. A few weeks after that, how
ever, Armour & Co. bought up a herd
of $3.50 steers. Wall drove them to
slaughter and the record has never
been equaled.
Everybody at the yards knows
Johnny. He has a pleasant word for
everyone and knows more farmers

LOCAL BUILDERS
ASK SQUARE DEAL

Protests against the awarding of
contracts for many of the largest and
costiIiest buildings to outside build
ers and architects were made at a
meeting of Newark's most representa-
tive contractors and journeynen from
the building trades of this city at a
meeting last night. 1t was decided TO
form a permanent organization at a
meeting to be held in the Builders and
Traders Exchange, 40 Clinton street.
on Friday, April II.
The sentiment was expressed that if
the masses went out of town to pur-
chase the necessaries of life and bank
their money the various merchants
would not be required to enlarge their
plants and institutions. Another
speaker said that Newark buildings
should be designed and erected by
Newarkers, who are as proficient as any
in the land.
Edward NJ. Waldron, of the firm of
f. NJ. Waldron Company, was the prin-
cipal speaker. Several times during
his address he was interrupted by the
enthusiasm displayed. He declared
that local architects, contractors and
mechanics were equal and in many
cases better than the average outsid-
ers. He pointed out that he vas talk
ing freely and had no AK to grind.
The Waldron Company built the City
Hall, numerous State, county and city
institutions, schools and many of the
principal educational institutions here
and outside of Essex.
Among the other speakers were w.
W. Schouler, f. A. Fetridge, of the
Metal Lathers' Union; James Murdoch,
the Masons' Union; Thomas Mooney,
of the Amalgamated Carpenters Union,
and William Wylie, of the painters.
The meeting was presided over by John
F. Dey, while Harry Geiser acted as
secretary.
