DR.. r. F. Whitlock recently attend
ed a meeting of Veterinarians at
Neosho and talked with the state
! veterinarian and his assistant, who
has charge of the tuberculosis work
of the State and they told him that
| the quickest and best way to get this
work done was for the people of the
county to show great interest in the
work. He said that they were send
ing the testers Where they were want
ed the most. Lawrence county has q
man working there but no one has
been sent to Barry county. There is
great deal Of interest being shown
in Barry county and DR.. Whitlock
states that people are constantly ask
ing him what is to be done and when
the tester is coming He mas decided
to get out petition to the State
Veterinarian and get all the people
who want to have their cattle tested
to sign it, requiring thar tester be
sent to Barry county in the near
future. The effectiveness <of this pc
tition will be governed by the num-
Der of signers he gets. If you have
one or many cattle call at the Whit
lock- Lines Store and get your name
on this petition.
The Veterinary Department of the
Board Of Agriculture is attempting
to render the live stock industry
highly efficient and beneficial service
The prevention and eradication of con-
tagious and infectious diseases of
domestic animals is the chief aim.
The greater effort is being expended
against bovine tuberculosis.
The department is testing approx
mately 10000 cattle per month. The
service is rendered free to the cattle
owners. The plan adopted is known
as the county area plan. Under this
plan force of federal and state 4
veterinarians work in county until |
all the cattle have been tested. The
county is then certified as free from I
the disease and quarantined against !
the importation of untested cattle.
The packers are paying a premium
of ten cents per hundred for cattle in
such counties Such system at
tains two very valuable results. First
the foci of infections are found. Sec
ond, as fast as time and funds per-
nit, herds are placed upon the Ac-
credited List After the task of test
inS all the cattle in Missouri is COM
pleted the department expects to de- I
vote more time to Accredited Herd
work. Every purebred cattle breeder
should have his herd accredited 1t is
the best form of advertising he can
Besides he has the privilege
of shipping cattle out Of the state at
any time without having to bother
with testing his cattle Immediately
prior to each shipment, as health GER
tificates can be obtained on request
to the State Veterinarian.

SURPRISES ENTER
IN RAIL STRIK e
Three Eastern Executives Come From
Europe for Conference
Today.

New York, Aug. 21.-Four SUI
prise factors entered into the ra
strike situation today, any one @
which, according to representatives c
roads and brotherhoods, may vital
influence the action of the Association
Of Railway Executives when it meet
tomorrow to consider peace proposal
or mediation with the big five bro
therhoods. They were:
The announcement that presi-
dents of three powerful eastern
roads, Samuel Rea, Pennsyl-
vania; E. E. Loomis, Lehigh Val
ley, and William Bester, Jersey
Central, were expected to arrive
from Europe on the Majestic, in
time to participate in the con-
ference of the Association of
Railway Executives.
The grant by three large steel
corporations of 20 per cent in
crease in wage to their several
hundred thousand day laborers.
Assertion by l.. f. Loree,
president of the Delaware & Hud-
son and chairman of the eastern
presidents conference, that pre-
dictions of a strike settlement
and peace in the industry were
"all bunk"
Announcement that several
brotherhood chiefs are coming
from the West with practical pro-
posals for settlement of the shop
craft strike, which they will sub
NIT to rail executives if all other
peace advances fail.
Executives Have No Comment.
Heads of the railway executives
refuse to comment on the unexpected
arrival of the three Eastern presi-
dents. Their return on the same boat
and in the midst of the present crisis,
was admittedly significant, however,
since their respective vice
presidents have been the nucleus of
The group which, in conference of the
national association, has consistently
fought any peace plan which included

ty rights unimpaired.
Strikers Claim Point.
The decision, of the steel corpor-
ltions to raise the wages of laborers,
just twenty-four hours
,rior to the scheduled meeting of the
was hailed by the strikers
is a point in their favor. 1t not only
Justified their refusal to accept wage
'uts fixed by the railroad labor board
hey said, but was ample proof of an
industrial boom which
which would put the railroads, with
heir thousands of bad order cars,
more than ever in need of their old
epair forces.
eff the railroads don't settle with
he shopmen, it will be doubly diff
ult for them to hold the unskilled
rafts in line" said David Williams,
ecretary of the eastern strike com
nittee.
Rail heads refrained from discuss
ng the possible effects of the steel
move on rail strike negoti-
tions. They were, nevertheless,
uick to offer reasons why the steel
ndustry should grant their men a
aiSe at this critical stage.
