wholly unorganized previously, or
had belonged to the trades which
we're only partially organized. Many
local organizations. it was said,
now exist secretly and arc known to
railroad executives only through
committees which claim to represent
the men. though not as union spokes-

organized employees are clerks.

and dining car employees.

leaders to have been stimulated by

Close, dark, ill-ventilated stables pre-.

The peculiar characteristic is its peri.

The ignorant recourse to knocking

main stunted until the old coat of hair
Is shed In the spring, at which time
most Of the lice disappear. Hand ap,
plications. spraying, and dipping with
insecticides are the methods which the
bulletin recommends as remedies. In
southern attitudes where the winters
are mild cattle may be dipped during
the winter months without injury from
cold weather, but In the northern sec.
tions winters are usually too cold for
dipping or spraying. All animals in
the herd should be treated regardless
Of the number showing infcstation, and
the treatment should be repeated in
Is to 16 days.
Hand applications are practical only
when few animals are to be treated,
but are specially valuable in holding
the parasites I'm check during weather
too cold for dipping or spraying. Some
busting powders obtalnable on the
market are good when this method Is
used. The following homemade liquid
remedies are also effective: Equal
parts cottonsccd oil and kerosene, or
Kerosene and lard mixed in tho pro-
portion Of onc-hAlf pint kerosene to
one pound of lard or crude petroleum
Apply these remedies with brush or
cloth, covering the entire body, being
particularly careful about the head and
ears. For spraying and dipping arsen'
ical dips, coal-tar creosote dips, and
nicotin solutions are recommended
They may be applied with a hand
spraycr, but the most effective method
is to provide dipping vat and com
pletcly dip the cattle two or, In some
cases, three times.

ERADICATE LICE ON CATTLE
Plan Given to Destroy This Pesi
Which Causes Injury and Retards
Growth Of Stock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Cattle lice are injurious to all
classes of cattle, but the greatest losses
occur In young stock and poorly nOur
lShed old animals. Losses are caused
by irritation, digestive disturbances
arrested growth, low vitality, and in
creased death rate.
Ordinarily lice on cattle are not OBJ
served until they become so numerous
that they cause unmistakable~sigas OF
annoyance. Usually the animals whose
lousy condition first attract attention
are the poor weak, unthrifty members
Of the herd, and frequently the owner
thinks they are lousy because they are
unthrifty, whereas the unthrifty cond
tion may be caused by the lice.
Three kinds Of lice are commonly
found on cattle, and all three species
may be present at the same time, but
the same method of treatment may be
used for any Of them. When they
make their appearance on the cattle
during the fall or winter they usually
spread rapidly until every animal is
infested. When herd Is grossly in.

negro attacked on the back end of a
car, fired into a crowd following the
car and wounded four persons but
finally was stopped by city detective
who was reported to have sent seven
bullets in the negro's body. Each

sligtly wounded.
The fighting at midnight had re-
solved largely to fighting between
small groups and in one of these en-
counters marine was reported TO

men had taken part in the early
clashes, the most serious were those
in which the mobs were made up of
civilians.
