...after Chicago's stock yard fire two months ago. All night long the unhappy beasts lowed. Then the sun rose again. It was the dawn of the hottest day in Chicago's history: official temperature, 104°, stock yard temperature, 110°. But no one went to feed the cattle, no one gave them water, no one hurried them to the mercy of the slaughterhouse. The 800 livestock handlers of Union Stock Yards & Transit Co.- "the cowboys of the stock yards"-were in the street instead of in the pens, pacing slowly back & forth, bearing placards: THIS PLACE...

Last week in Manhattan Federal Court Cowboy Goodwin & wife brought an infringement suit for $500,000 against 29 music publishers...

The Mississippi Plant Board reported an average count of 119 boll weevils to the acre, against 75 the week before, 323 year ago. Prospects of a reduction in breeding stock and mounting feed prices boosted topnotch hog prices to the best level since October ($5 per cwt.), cattle prices to the highest since September 1932 ($10.25 per cwt.).
