HEBREW BUTCHERS EXCITED.
THEY DECLARE THAT A BEEF TRUST HAS
BEEN FORMED-RIsE IN PRICES

rOftMED-KISE IN PRICES
The Hebrew Retail Butchers Association in this
cty ~ up IN arins over the alleged formation of a
peer trust The members of the association at a
recent meeting passed resolutions strongly con-
demnng the trust and pledging themselves not to
patronize the firms which have entered into
It, Among the firms which cater to the trade OF
the Hebrew retail butchers are Eastman & Co.
the Lnit q States Beef Company and Schwarzchlld
q Sulzberger. These firms prepare the beef for the
Heprew taoe in the customary way. They have
obtained the bulk OF the trade among the Hebrew
retail Butchers. especially among those on the East
S'de Of late. however some Of the butchers have
found fault with them, and the Hebrew Butchers
Association has declared war upon these firms The
association declares that the object Of the formation
or the beet ,rust is 20 enhance the price beef In
an anwarrantabe manner. and at the expense OF the
retail butchers
The president Of the Hebrew Retail Butchers
Association Is Moses Kovner OF No. IS Eldridge-st
Mr. kovner was seen by Tribune reporter last
night. and he denounced In strong terms the forma
ton OF the alleged beef trust and Its methods He
said that within one week the trust had raised
the price OF beef sold to the Hebrew butchers
lis cents pound. and there was no telling
how much higher 1t would be raised. The price Of
beef had Increased from ~. cents a pound to c
cents. When the Hebrew retail butchers had de-
manded an explanation 1t had been refused them
and they had been told that II they didn't want to
pay the increase they could not have any meat
Many OF the retail butchers had left the wholesale
firms with which they had been dealing and gone to
others
IT is alleged that one of the laws Of the new beef
combine is that each firm shall control its Gus
toners and that the latter will be permitted
buy beef anywhere else. 1t is further said that
each firm keeps a list Of the retail butchers who
have dealt with it. and when fails to purchase
daily supply OF meat his name is Immediately
telephOned TO all the other firms In the combine
who decline to sell to him. There more than
five hundred retail butchers in the Hebrew Retail
Butchers Association. and they are worked up to a
high state OF excitement over the alleged discovery
Of beef trust.
