CACTUS, Texas—Militant supporters from Houston and Des Moines, Iowa, sell the paper March 5 near gate of Swift slaughterhouse here. During two shift changes, 107 meat packers at Swift bought the paper. In a three-day visit to the Cactus area and Dodge City, Kansas, where another large slaughterhouse owned by Tyson is located about 185 miles northeast of here, workers and others bought 148 copies of the Militant and 10 subscriptions.
