Weigh Compromise
Obtained In Stockyard
Live Stock Men Are Interested
In End of Long-Drawn
Out Fight

The long draw ont fight for the
rights of weighing of live stock at
the South st. Paul stockyards, in
which the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission, the federal
st. Paul Union Stockyards company
have been involved for more than
La year is nearing an end.
A compromise practically has
been decided on, it was reported
from authorltive sources at South
st. Paul Tuesday.
The state will continue to employ
the weighers ana to do the weigh
irg. but, instead OF an assessment
or charge for weighing based on so
much per head of cattle, calves,
hogs and sheep. the actual cost of
the state operation of the scales
will be paid by the stockyards COM
pany.
The state will reduce the number
Iof employees to the minimum neces-
sary to give proper service, so that
no more expense will be cause to
the stockyards company than is alb
solutely necessary. The federal de-
partment. supervision on the. present
basis will continue.
Railroad and Warehouse commission
was authorized 20 take over the
weighing of live stock at the South
st, Paul yards. A charge Of so much
per head of live stock was establish.
ed to defray expenses. Previously
the stockyards company had done
the weighing without a direct charge
to the shippers for the service.
When the federal government
took over the control of the stock
yards the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse commission opposed Civ
ing up its state weighing contending
that the weighing should not be
done by an interested party as 1t
was proposed to have the stockyard
company resume weighing. Fred
Putnam, member of the Railroad
and Warehouse commission, took up
federal officials at Washington. The
compromise proposal was submitted
to the three interested factions sew
eral months ago.
BeAef1ts of the proposed compro-
mise plan are:
Weighing will be done by a gov
ernmental agency in which the buy
er and seller Of live stock have no
interest.
Payment for weighing services
will be made by the St. Paul Union
Stockyards company, so that the
service will be that of disinter-
ested agency, but with the payment
of operation costs by a private cor
poration necessary expense be
MINATED
The live stock shipper will not be
assessed charges for the weighing
of live stock.
The federal supervision will con-
tinue in CO. operation with the state
supervision.
The weighers, employed by the
state, will not be thrown out of en-
ployment.
