Several mem bers of other locals were present and enjoyed the program with ub. Mr. Fluck, one of the state man agers, gave a splendid talk that last ed two hours. His talk was very in teresting and he had the statistical evidence to„ bear out his. statements. After his talk was concluded he an swered mdriy questions in regard to organisation, and management. He told of the doing of the Live Stock Commission Company under the hxanagemqpt pt the Union.. During January 'and ..February they handled over 2400 loads of live stock in Oma ha, making a nice prorata of gain to the shipper*, The insurance com pany has also been doing *n immense volume of Business and at a very low premium rate.
