When Ballot IS Taken.

los Angeles.-The 1000 switchmen
and yardmen who had been on strike
here for several days, returned to
work Saturday morning. A vote on
whether or not to return to work was
taken at u mass meeting which was
addressed by A. f. Whitney, interna-
tional vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. A great
majority of those present favored re-
suming work.
This was followed by the four local
brotherhOOds, trainmen, conductors,
engineers and firemen, voting by n
two-thirds majority to return to work
at the same time.
The members of the four railway
br0therhoOds had been on strike here
for more than week, following a
walkOut Of yardmen in sympathy with
n strike Of trainmen OF the Pacific
Electric Urban system.
The action Of the men brought to
an end railroad tieup without pre-
cedent in the history Of the west. 1t
caused cancellation of transcontinental
trains, left many points in California
without malls for days and threatened
water famine at desert points de-
pendent on railroad tank cars for their
supplies Of that fluid. Threat of Di-
rector General Of Railroads Hines to
operate the roads regardless Of the
strike is believed to have had much
to do with the men returning to their
Jobs.

perity Of the people us n whole en-
abled them to afford the increased
cost. In fact, laborlng people prob
ably consumed more meat during the
past year than in prewar times"
Quantity Increases Remarkable"
'"The total number of cattle slnugh-
tered in 1918 is estimated ut 15.750,-
40O," says the bureau, "as against 3D.
723 900 In 1917. Their average weights
were practically the same for both
years. and the beef produced from
them was 6.6s6. 100000 pounds in 1917
and S.841, 100000 pounds in 1918. This
wns remarkable achievement us IT
hardly would have been credited that
beef growers could increase their pro-
duction a billion pounds In one year.
"The hog natures quickly. therefore
q much more rapid increase would be
looked for than was the result with
cnttle. Even so. the results for 1918
can be described only as stupendOus.
The hogs marketed in 1913 numbered
6o, ,S54. 700. as against 57.4S3,SOO In
1917. Furthermore, the average weight
was 9h pounds more per hog In 1918.
Thus, when the animals are turned
into pork and lard we have totnl pro-
duction of 1925. .G64.0O0 pounds in
1913. as against S,47S,2S9,O0O pounds
in 1917. an increase OF 2.747. $500
pounds. or 32.4 per cent, nearly one
third"
Striking increases In exports are
also shown by the bureau. Beef ship
mcnts abroad In 1918 were 94 per cent
more than In 1917, the chief 1913 items
being 514.OOO.O0O pounds Of fresh beef
and 141. 100000 pounds Of canned beef.
Exports OF pork and lard in 1918
amounted to 2.279,2s7. .030, which was
III per cent more than the quantity
sent abroad In 1917.
The bureau shows that In the nggre-
gate more meat by far is eaten In the
United States than In any other coun-
try In the world, although some sparse
ly settled countries raising much meat
have . larger per capita consumption.

American dressed-meat production,
including lard, amounted In 1918 to
20. 100, 100000 pOunds-a quantity new
er before approached In magnitude by
the livestock industry Of this or any
other country. The corresponding fig
ure for 1917 was 1887 300. 600 pounds.
Three-fOurths OF this enormous In
crease was In pork and one-fourth was
In beef.
The meat surplus In 1918 was SO
great that extra export demands made
little impression on It. although 1913
export shipments of meat and lard
nearly doubled the a017 figures, rising
from slightly less than one and three
fOurths billions pounds to slightly
more than three billion pounds-and
these figures do not include shipments
to American military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumption Of
dressed meat and lard in the United
Stntes was approximately 14.5OO,OOO.-
