STEEL STRIKE

Labor delegates said today tina:
they would be willing to drop the
steel strike resolution in case they

gaining" with the right of employees
to select representatives Just as the
companies hire counsel" Failure of
the conference to arbitrate the strike
or to accept their view of collective
bargaining would mean disruption
of the conference, some labor repre-
sentatives went so far as to say.
After the meeting, employers dele,
gates said that the steel strike arbi-
tration resolution was never intended
for other purposes than to force re-
cognition of the unions and their
spokesman, in as much as agreement
to arbitration of the strike by a COM
mittee containing union officials and
company officers would have amount
ed to absolute acceptance of the
things for which labor is fighting.
Charles Edward Russell. of New
York, spokesman for the central COM
mittee, told press representatives
after the committee meeting that
both capital and labor were disposed
to make concessions and that nothing
had transpired to change his convic-
ton that the conference would &C.
complish great and constructive re-
suits" He admitted, however, that
serious differences of opinion exist.

Maiady Among Western Horses.

An outbreak Of what is commonly
called the Kansas horse disease" has
taken place in western Kansas ana
eastern Colorado within recent
weeks, causing the loss of several
hundred horses. With the reappear'
ance Of this malady, which veterinar'
ians designate as forage poisoning, or
cerebrospinal meningitis. represen-
tatives of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry and the Colorado Agriculture!
College began a vigorous campaign'
which it is believed has effectively
checked the epidemic. The fact thar
in the outbreak of 1912 Kansas lost
some 10000 horses indicates the seri-
Gus possibilities of such an occur
renee and the value of speedy pro-
tective measures such as the Federal
and State experts have taken.
The cause Of this disease is not
definitely known, but it is believed TO
be due to eating some form of fun-
gous growth. In response to ques-
tions in behalf of farmers and others
whose animals have been stricken
the Bureau of Animal Industry has
sent out number of kilograms in
forming owners that work horses IN
the afflicted areas should not be per-
mitted to craze. and as far as possible
they should receive only hay ana
grain rations from last years crops.
Horses in pastures should be removed
to barns or dry-feed lots. and Should
likewise be fed only hay and gram
rations from last years crop.

All interests, civilian and military
in any way connected with aviation
are expected to profit by a new serv-
ice, consisting of flying forecasts, i
which has been instituted by the
Weather Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. By reason OF
this special information, which will be
issued twice daily to the office of the
Director Of Military Aeronautics
hazard involved in long flights is
greatly lessened. In fact, military
aviators are no longer permitted to
undertake extended air trips until
they have secured the latest forecasts
to make sure that an encounter with
serious storms is improbable.
These special weather reports are
furnished also to the Naval Com
munication Service for the benefit of
naval airmen. The reports given the
military authorities include forecasts
for each Of 10 zones into which con-
tinental United States has been di-
vided by the Weather Bureau. They
are also supplied free to any news
paper or private enterprise on condi-
ton that the recipient pay the tele-
graph charges.
The need of the service was demon
strated few weeks ago when a feet
of military airmen undertook an ex-
tended flight without securing a fore
cast of the weather and, in conse-
quence. ran into a storm that caused
considerable damage. This expert
ence was responsible in part, at least,
for the suggestion that the Weather
Bureau supply weather forecasts in
the special manner indicated.
The latest activity of the Weather
Bureau is in effect a nationwide ex-
tension Of the forecast service insti-
tuted more than a year ago, when
aircraft began carrying mail between
large cities.
