A REVOLUT

traveler BOOM ninety yurs ngo

would surely he eonvt d that a

higher figure per iiouiul than any
other Market quotations of Hie
past few months show lamb and mut
ton selling for considerably more limn

rear Minors, feeders, breeders and
consumers nre paying more attcnt'on
io the mutton und lamb Industry, and
ii is at present Increasing In greater
volume than any ff the other
M IBCOOB of the livestock trade.
Strange as It may seem, practical!
ff mutton was consumed In this conn-
try a half century ago. The reasons
'for this particular state ff affairs are
ninny. In the first place, the rem
HfftOf enr was yet unheard of, and
.i mutton would not stand MM
t llko pork and beef, It could not
bo transported to the few markets
then In existence. It can he said
with conservatism that both the do
nnd export trades were de
manding bef and pork, consequent l
the meal p oduclng sections of our
country specialized In supplying these
two commodities, while mutton was
Ignored Furthermore, II kVOVOl
oped areas of th's country offered an
HOB t Iff good field for wool pro
din Hon Wool, with Its high value
per pound, small labor requirement
for production, together with tho ease
with which It could he transported,
made It an Ideal frontier crop. It
was very reasonable for the farmers
of the partially developed Mldde
to emphas'xe wool growing at
the expense of other tpyes of farming,
which were not so adaptable f the
eri.noinlc fOBdltlous of that time In
addition, the light, stringy carcasses
of the flne-wooled breeds did not pre
Kent a very tempting dish, and were
not conduslve to Increasing mutton
demands

Newspapers are very generous In
taking up the cause of organized lab
or under all circumstances. Hut not
often Is any attention given to the
Interests of unorganized labor.
I). W. Campbell, assistant general
manager of the Southern Pacific sys
tem, puts In a good word for the 8 2
per cent of all railroads who aro not
organ'zed Into unions
Cor every five men employed on
trains, there aro 25 other men at work
for the 8. P. Co., and to arbitrarily
Increase thn wages of tho five by 25
"lit Is unjust.
The managers of tho railroad com
pany are Justified in trying lo prevent
an unfair and arbitrary Jump of
wages for the stnnll por cent that op
erate trains over the heads of the un
organ zed laborers
The trackwalker, the section man,
Ihf car r.vcrpr, tho Wgifl wiper and
lie hovler are beginning to nttrnc.t
some attention and a great deal ff
sympathy when It is proposed to ad
vance the already favored class
The Dig Four Brotherhoods with
1 n per cent of the workers In their
ranks already get 28 per cent of the

they want and how will It affect the
ranks of unorgnnlred workers''
