Dept of Agriculture)
South St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 24-With
moderate receipts Of $500 cattle and
calves the market: opened slow, killing
classes selling steady. to Csc lower.
Veal calves soc higher; top $1,000.
Hogs 10000. Lights 25 to IS higher,
others about steady. Range $500 to
$3.50. Bulk $S.75 to 1925. Sheep
steady to strong Fed lambs $1O.25.
The retail trade is showing strong
preference for the cheaper grades Of
carcass beef at present and this condi-
ton is being reflected in the market for
live cattle, causing a decline in/the bet
ter grades, while commoner kinds are
maintaining a fairly stable basis. Best
killers among recent arrivals were some
short fed that sold late last week at
$S.75, with bulk of sales at present
ranging from $500 500. Better
grades Of butcher cows and heifers are
about 25c to SOC lower than week ago.
A few are selling at 1918 to $6.5O,
with bulk landing from $4OO to $5.5O.
Gamers and cutters are about steady
at $2.75 to 1915. Veal calves have
gained $1.00 since last week. best today
bringing $1,000. Stockers and feeders
are on weak basis in sympathy with
the fat cattle trade
Light weight hogs continue very pop
ular. best day at $3.50, being practically
steady with week ago. Sorting is
heavy at present, each class selling ON
it's merits, and causing a wide range
in quotations. Lamb prices are lower
than a week ago, good to choice fed
offerings being quoted from $3.50 to
S1O.25. Handyweight ewes are quoted
from $3.50 to $500. A feature of the
sheep and lamb trade is the discrimina-
ton being made against weight in both
classes

Des Moines, Iowa, March 9.-The
industrial court bill was before the
house of the Iowa legislature today
with Rep. j. w. Kline of Fort Dodge,
it's author, leading the fight for pas
sage. Representative Kline started his
fight by demanding that lobbyists in
opposition to the bill retire from the
house floor"
A number of labor leaders were in
the rear. When they did not start to
leave, Representative Kline demanded
that John T. Clarkson, of Abba, be
instructed to leave the floor. Speaker
MacFarland put the request to a vote
and it was approved. Mr.. Clarkson
retired, and was followed by Fred Can
field, president of the State Federation
of Labor, and one or two others, but
the latter stopped when they reached
the cloak room door.
Representative Morgan made the
first attack on the industrial court
bill, but his amendment to strike out
the enacting clause was defeated.
In behalf of the bill, Rep. Kline, as
serted that had it been proposed at
the time of the general coal strike.
it would have passed both houses. He
attacked any industrial system which,
he charged, allowed the interest of a
few to be paramount to the necessities
