plan the greater part OF the liquor

tel
StOcimcn lose an average Of from

ditions, it was stated at the meet
ing. TO insure n profit on cattle
sales, the stockmen agreed. the price
OF steers should be raised at least
cents a pound, making the market
average from II TO 10 cents.
Fewer steers will be fattened for
the market on pastures in the north
crn part of the state this spring,
than for many years, it is said as a
result Of the unsatisfactory prices.
The stockmen decided today to use
more rough feed This year than

Market conditions will be discussed

for the regulation Of the practical relations between

There is a field in which social obligations, with
no positive legal sanction, must be organized by the
employer and employees in the interest of the COM

OF course employer has the right to say that he
will not employ union man and he will discourage
trades unionism in every way. The employe has the
right to say that he will not work for employer
who employs non-union men. But such attitudes are
unsocial.

Of course, collective bargaining is not gong to
rid to rid of strikes of labor disputes. Not
nfrequenty, no matter how full and free the ne

then there comes trial of industrial strength The
