To AID STOCKMEN
State Association viii Inter-
vene in MistIetOe Case.
Mercer Says Plan Will Cripple
Kansas Shippers.

Notice was today sent to H. c. Wal
lace, secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington, to the effect that the state
livestock association would intervene
as co-plaintiffs in the complaint filed
by the Kansas City Livestock exchange
against the Mistletoe -stockyards of the
Fowler Packing company, a subsidiary
of Armour & Company J. H. Mercer,
secretary of the state association
which represents $4,000 stockmen, will
enter complaint for the Kansas or
ganization.
Mercer asserted today that the plan
of the MistletOe company tended to
cripple rather than aid the stock ship
pers. He said that adoption of the
company's plan would injure the ship
pers and it would be better to close
the yards and let the packers make
purchases direct from the farm.
Mercer Makes Probe.
''I have made considerable investi-

Kan.
principles involved are of vital con-
cern, in my judgment, to the pro-
ducers. The producers right to ship
to whom he pleases and in any way
he chooses is not involved in the case,
as 1 see it, but the methods under
which hogs are assembled at the MIS-
tletoe stockyards furnish dangerous
precedent and are actually harmful to
a certain class of our producers with
a tendency to affect the entire indus
try thru such manipulations-
The gravest principle involved In
this practice as complained Of Is that
it makes this one particular force the
influence in the fixing OF
prices on the particular market where
such practices are resorted to. 1 can
see n far worse condition prevailing
under the widespread influence OF
such practices than any We have here
tofore had to complain of. If thisscon-
dition were permitted to grow, 1t wouo'
in my judgment, be better for the live
stock industry to revolutionize our
whole marketing system and lock up
the gates of our public stockyards and
compel the meat manufacturers to
seek supplies on the farms of the
country"

Petitions asking for a 10 per cent
wage reduction have been placed be-
fore the board by ia roads while the
shopmen have asked increases of 13
cents an hour over the present scale
on eighty-five of these roads.
Failure to ask increases on more
than the eighty-five roads was due. 1t
was said, to failure to get the en-
ployes' petitions in an time.
More than 175 roads have placed
petitions for reductions before the

have adopted a method similar to that
of the shopmen by making counter
proposals for wage advances.

ing its market quotations by wireless
telephone at thirty minute intervals

uled for 1915 p. m. The service will
be given every day the board of trade

planned to increase the sending dis

After Three Hours He Landed
Near Kansas City.
ALTITUDE 10,4OO FEET
Flyer TrinIer Forced to Quit
When Oil CIogged.
Most Successful Test of the To-

Any fears which had been felt for
the safety of n. D. 'Trinler. who took

gren commercial aircraft. were aIlayed
at o'clock this afternoon when A. K.
Longren received a telephone mes
sage from Trinler saying he had
landed at Welborn, a small town
few miles northwest of Kansas City.
Despite the unfavora BILE weather con-
diGons, Trinler said he was able to
reach an altitude of 1S.40O feet when
the bitter cold at that height put the
oil line of his machine out of COM
mission and forced him to come down.
He was surprised to find himself so
far away from home, but had lost his
way in the storm, and had no idea
where he was landing.
A brisk wind, intermittent with
drilling rain and flurries of snow,
was blowing when Trinler made his
departure from the Longren plant,
corner Winfield and Center streets,
this forenoon. and when nothing was
heard from him by 1 o'clock, fear was
expressed that he might have lost his
way and might be forced to land un-
der unfavorable circumstances. The
fact that Trinler carried no compass
gave weight to the feeling of anxiety
for his safety, but he came down with
