The Rai!waymen's Union is voting on
q proposal To give notice of the termna-
ton of the concilation scheme agreed
upon by the men and the companies after
the strike Of 1911. The result Will not
be made known until the middle Of De-

the companies.
Nevertheless. the men and the COM
panies are looking forward TO il with "A
great deal of interest mixed with mis-
givings. The effect would be to reopen
the whole question of the relations be-
tween the compan es and their employees
On the whole, the conciliation boards
have worked well. for out of total of
2l9 settlements 20i were reached by
mutual agreement without the assistance
OF an independent chairman appointed BY
the board OF trade. The compliant of the
men is that these independent chairmeu
are chosen invariably from the capital
ist'' class and that they favor the COM
panies against the workers
Recognition of Union the Object.
However, the real object of those who
desire to abrogate the agreement is 10
obtain recognition of the union, which
has gained enormously in membership
since the royal commission drafted the
conciliation scheme. The commission pro-
nounced definitely against the recogni-
ton of the union. because the companies
would not permit of intervention between
themselves and their men on the subject
of discipline and management. Ii is
understood that the. companies are now
prepared to discuss the question OF recog-
milton. -

Crop estimates 100000, 600 bushels less

MILITANCY IN FRISCO.
Women Make War on Nose Bags for
Horses.

San Francisco, Aug. IA taste of
feminine Inilitancy was given to the
people of San Francisco yesterday when
four women started a crusade against
nose bags for horses. Invading the
business district they hunted out horses
that were feeding from the customary
canvas bags, and without ceremony or
apology and despite protests from
teamsters, hurled all the feed bags
they could find into the gutter.
After they had scattered nose bags
and oats in the cutters of several
streets, the women sought out Post
master Arthur Fisk and protested
against the long hours and hard work
to which the horses in the postal SER
vice are subjected.
Postmaster Fisk suggested that the
society use its good offices to get ten
more horses for the San Francisco
DOStOffice.

DON'T CUT OUT SLANG
College Professors Want 1t on Sport
ing Pages.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Charles A. Comis-
key, owner of the Chicago Americans,
likes baseball reports best when they
are written in plain English, while
professors a the University at Chicago
deplore the possibility of the elimina-
ton Of slang from the accounts of
games. These unexpected attitudes
were learned today in a vote being taa
ken by a local daily to determine just
how the followers of the national pas
time want the games described.
Il am in favor of a clean plain Eng
lish story of baseball game said
Comiskey, who had just returned from
the woods of northern Wisconsin.
What readers want to know is who
won the game and how they won it.
When these facts are covered up with
a lot of useless words the reader is
apt to grow tired
II think it would be pretty tame to
report baseball in plain ordinary Eng
lish,' said Professor Nathaniel Butler.
There is a species of humor on the
sporting page which is enjoyable. We
want the picturesque in that report
but the writer shows a defect when
it is impossible for the 1ayman to I'M
derstand him.
Professor Frank J. Miller does not
object to slang at ALL" and says that
humorous baseball writer's are ''often
very clever"
Il have nothing against their slang"
asserted Professor Forest Ray Moul
ton. 1T depends largely on whether
people are bright enough to understand
it," Professor w. D. Mcmillan does
not object to a, little slang, but thinks
it is overdone. Professor Andrew E.
Harvey said:
We would miss slangy baseball ac-
counts 1t is all right on the sport
ing page and it seems to me that it's
prohibition would be felt by readers
as a serious loss

Kansas City Stock Yards Aug. 1.-THE
early loss on cattle last week was almost
completely restored before the end of
the week. Receipts dropped off to a point
below normal after Tuesday, and hundreds
of buyers came here from the corn states
for stock cattle and feeders, attracted
by reports of the heavy receipts Monday,
a combination of circumstances that ele-
waited prices promptly. Receipts today
amount to but 1900 cattle, fine exhibit
ton of self-reStraint on the part of stock
men in the dry belt. More country buyers
are here today than We're ever seen In
Kansas Citw at one time before, Not
half enough cattle are here to o-around.
The phenomenal demand from the country
makes for the good of the whole market,
of course. Commission men are receiving
hundreds of letters from stockmen anx-
ious to secure cattle, and the events OF the
last ten days have uncovered buying
power in the corn states beyond any ex-
pectations. Missouri bought II 900 cattle
here last week, Iowa 5000, Illinois 5000
Kansas 1000, scattering 1900, total $1,000
head. At that nearly half of the buyers
went home without any cattle. Killing
cattle are 10c to 25c higher today, stock
cattle and feeders Csc higher, or 30 cents
to dollar above last Monday, calves
25c to soc higher. Prime steers sold today
at IS. IS, almost UP to the high time, Green
woods at $3.50 to $8.25, half dollar above
last Monday, and as high as any time
this season, westerns from the Brookville
district at 500 to $775, quarantine grass
steers S. 90 to 500, veal calves $3.50 to
$500, stock steers $3.50 to $7.25, feeders $500
to $500.
Packers made strong fight on hog
prices last week, but without much net
success Most days their top was $3.50,
while order buyers and spectators PAID
up to $3.50 various days. Receipts are
SEQ today, market steady to DC higher,
packers resuming their tactics of last
week, and bsying their droves at a range
of $3.50 to 1915, outside buyers paying
up to $780, Dry weather signs increase,
but no cholera indications have developed.
Sheep sell without much change in price,
but fat lambs fluctuate violently. Best
lambs last week brought $50, but tops
stopped at $6.S5 today. Some % pound
Utah feeding lambs sold at $50 here last
week, and Arizona feeding lambs at $500,
Fat ewes sell around at $500 to $780,
