your dressed meat?"
"About SIS IS per carcass"

meat to the consumer the butcher re.
,elyed S27 40 per carcass.

"but our expenses are very
arge. We don't make anything
Senator Vest wanted to know II the
packers had driven the butchers out oil
he slaughterlng business; had they
AIKEN means to force the butchers To buy
he dressed product
"Yes,n answered the witness, "by sell.
ng at a price 50 much cheaper than we
an slaughter.p
"That will do,' said Mr.. Vest.
Other butchers testified, Their evi.
lence corroborated that given by Mr.,
Price. Adjourned.

the day devoted to the special dedica-

the representative regiments. During
the day the veterans Of each regiment
formed in line and headed by a band or
drum corps marched to their monument,
where the exercises were held. Each
dedication was attended only by the sur.
vivors OF the commands. No system
was observed and each regiment went
lis own way. -Four or Eve would be
scheduled for the same hour, and there
was but little satisfaction to any one in
the manner things were conducted. To
describe the exercises at each memorial
would bean extremely difficult problem.
