Transit Strike Peace
Efforts Are Pushed
Mediator Holds
New Talk With
Both Parties

Capital Transit Co. and union
representatives met together to.
day with Federal Mediator Gil.
bert S. MeCutcheon in a confer
lence from which it was hoped to
reach an agreement ending the
transit strike.
They met with prospects re-
ported to be good to bring to-
Igether loose ends of an agree
ment which would get buses and
lstreetcars rolling again after 81
days of strike.
This afternoon ]. A. B. Broad
water, Capital Transit president;
E. Cleveland Giddings, vice pres
lident, and Edmund L. Jones.
company counsel, left the Labor
Department Building where the
meeting was held.
. Mr.. Broadwater had no state
ment. Mr.. Giddings said there
would not be another meeting
over the week end. But what had
been accomplished by today's
conference was not disclosed.
Walter J. Bierwagen, union
president, presumably was still
closeted with Mr.. McCutcheon.
Veto Deal Denied
Meanwhile, James C. Hag-
erty. presidential press secre-
tary, emphatically rejected re-
ports that a commitment for q
presidential veto of the pending
Transit bill would be any part Of
a settlement. He said:
IT have noticed stories in the
papers intimating that the
President or someone on the
White House staff is considering
a proposal to have the President
agree to veto the District Of Co
Ilumbia transit bill if the transit
company and its employees reach
a settlement that apparently is
to be contingent on such a veto.
These stories are completely
false. The President of the United
States does not make any ar
Irangements with anyone as to
how he shall perform his con-
stitutional duties"
! Mr.. Hagerty said he does not
know when Mr.. Eisenhower will
act on the bill.
Il Neither Side Hopeful
In advance of today's meet
ing each side adopted a nego-
tiator's cagey attitude about ex-
pressing any hope the renewed
negotiations would bring any
settlement.
i I'm not optimistic about any
thing" Mr.. Giddings said.
l From the union side there was
a statement that the situation
was completely confused.
i Any settlement as now con-
Itemplated would be between the
company and the union. The
District Commissioners are being
kept informed. But an agree
Iment would be outside the pro-
visions of the bill lifting the
company's franchise in a years
time and permitting the Com
missioners to contract for the
operation of transit service in
that period.
:! This is the bill now on Mr..
Eisenhower's desk.
May Never Sign Bill
! Should a strike settlement be
reached, with buses and street.
cars running again, some see it
as likely that the President
would see no reason for signing
the measure into law.
7 Should the bill become law it
would end the company in a
years time. Under such circum-
stances the union is anxious
about its future. since it would
have no contract with new oper-
ators, either the Commissioners
or a new company.
Concerning reports that the
President was being urged to

COccidiOsis
Control
BY BOYD ELLIS

they had cOccIdlOSiS. We lost about
rs then but we got medicine from
the veterinary and they seemed fine
for about three weeks. Them we
started losing them again. Some
were crippled in the legs and went
blind. What causes this disease and
how can we prevent it next year?
Also, what can we do with the
chickens this year? How about the
yards?-A. M, ChOuteau County.
A. Coccidiosjs might be termed the
universal disease among chickens. Who
ever raises chickens faces the problem
of coccidiosis control. 1t is a disease
primarily of growing chickens from 2 to
20 weeks of age and is caused from a
microscopic one-celled parasite This
parasite may live over in the ground
from one season to the next It is resis-
tant to the action of most disinfectants
Therefore, it is almost impossible to
prevent the flock from getting some
degree of exposure to coccidiosis, even
under the best of management.
It is a known fact that there are at
least different types of coccidiosis.
With our present day medicines we can
do very good job treating flocks with
coccidiosis. However, there is a sad
part to treatment program. Since we
must use a certain treatment for the
specific type of cOccidiOSiS which the
birds have. This means that we may
treat for one type this week then in a
week or two the birds may become sick
again with an intirely different type of
coccidiosis IF the birds need medical
ton, it is good idea to check with
some qualified person as to the kind of
medicine needed. Since treatment is so
uncertain, one of the best ways to pre-
vent coccidiosis is to follow a strict
management program.
In your letter you stated that some
of the birds were crippled and blind.
This is an unusual situation can I'M
derstand why some would be crippled
from weakness, but have never known
birds going blind from coccidiosis am
inclined to believe that you are having
trouble from a combination OF disease.
Perhaps Leukosis orange paralysis in
addition to ccccidiosis.
IL AC1P VIII yOOA III COCuS SIludI1Oll
I would make the following suggestions
for your management program:
l. House the birds as soon as possible
in the laying house.
2. Keep the birds confined at all
times
g. House bullets separate from old
birds
A. Do strict job of culling as you
house the birds. Remove all weak,
blind, crippled and undeveloped birds
from the flock.
S. Keep close watch on the flock
and as the birds show signs of weak
ness remove them from the flock.
BY following such program you
perhaps will get fair production from
the flock. 1t has been my experience
that when group of pullets have had
a severe case of coccidiosis they never
seem to develop into profitable flock
You asked about the yards. Since it is
known that the coccidiosis germs will
live in the ground for year or more.
[ would suggest that you do not use
the yards for next years crop of pullets.
Perhaps your best bet would be to grow
he pullets In total confinement

HOWDY FOLKS,

Farm or ranch conservation plan! Do
you have one on your farm or ranch?
I know that a number of you have,
but larger number don't, so here
goes.
First off, conservation planning is
one of the several services provided by
your local Soil Conservation District.
Soil Conservation Service technicians
assigned to your District provide the
necessary technical assistance needed
in developing your conservation plan.
Getting a conservation plan on your
land is strictly voluntary undertaking
on your part You must request it from
your local Soil Conservation District.
Does it become mandatory that you do
certain things after you sign an appli-
cation? No, it is still up to you as to
how you plan to use and treat your
land. However. yoEsr plan is not COM
plete until it provides for proper use
and treatment of the land, based on
technical standards set up in your dis
trict When you agree on these points
you have a conservation plan When
you start applying the plan you are
conservation farmer.
Why get conservation plan when
you are already installing a few con-
servation practices? A conservation
plan will give you picture of the
total conservation job on your farm
and provide you with a time table for
getting it done. Applying conservation
on a piecemeal basis may correct one
problem but may create another. A
plan is needed to do the job properly.
Your district supervisors want every
one of you to become conservation
farmers and ranchers. Remember, you
must make application to your district
to get a conservation plan. Also, you
might like to know that your conserva- /,
ton plan is with your local district, not
with federal agency.
Next time TIL have some information
on what goes into conservation plan.
Conservingly yours,
