Seventy-five thousand unorganized cattle bellowed an anguished protest. A few coatless clerks of the stock yards and commission houses, a few foremen and superintendents in shirt sleeves-in all, perhaps, 200 men-went down into the pens to water 75,000 thirsty cattle. The Government dared not hire men to care for its 50,000 head for fear of being accused of strikebreaking. So all day the foremen and white collar workers labored alone.

Such an expression was bound to anger devout Catholics who, for 400 years, have been obliged to refute the persistent notion that Ignatius Loyola, sternly militant founder of the Society of Jesus, expounded the doctrine that "the end justifies the means."
