Chicago, Dec. This afternoon q
number of dealers in butter had con
ference with the purpose of protecting
the trade against adulterated butter anc
cheese, which are at present flooding the
country. The recent exposures OF the
villainous character of the compounds
which are manufactured and sold as but
ter has greatly damaged the business
and rendered some action necessary
The only feasible plan suggested was
that dealers in the bogus article be
compelled to label it under its appro
pirate name. The last Legislature
passed law requiring this to be done
but no steps have been taken to enforce
it, and it is practically a dead letter
Resolutions were adopted requesting
the produce exchange to take actor
towards enforcing obedience to the Law
and promising hearty cooperation
Some $40O was raised On the spot tc
further the object of the meeting, ant
an active war will be made on the des
picable traffic.
