TAGG SPEAKS TO
NATIONAL LIVE
STOCK EXCHANGE
Patriotism Is Keynote of
Omaha Man Before National
Body Meeting in New r
York.
Fred Nelson Tins Another
Star on Bee Service Flag
W. B. Tagg, president of the Oma
ha Live Stpck exchange, delivered the
opening address at the 13th annual
convention of the National Live
Stock exchange, of which he is also
president, in New York City Thurs
day morning. ,
Patriotism was the keynote of Mb.
.Tagg's address. He' dwelt upon the
duty of every one connected with the
production of food to subordinate bus-
, iness' and personal interests to the
t winning of the war. , ' K
"But while we are urged to increase
the production, adequate facilities for
taking care of what is being produced
must be provided," he said. "There
is a vital need of an increase of 40
per cent in the 'number of live stock
cars, and until this situation is reme-
" died, there can be no comprehensive
food program carried out successfully,
so far as the live stock industry is
- concerned. There is little use of urg
ing the farmers to, raise more stock
unless assurance can be given them
that it will be nronerlv handled and
cared for without unnecessary de
lay." I
Complains of Car Service.
The poor car service "given by the
railroads in the last few months has
been discouraging to the farmers. Mr.
Tagg said.
A greater, distribution of stock
.cars throughout the large stock cen
ters of the country, and improved rail
road service are a part of the pro
gram submitted by the stock men to
the railroad administration.
