THE BUTTERiNE FACTORIES
USE UP ALL THE GREASE FROM
STOCkYARDS AND PACKING HOUSES.
Soap and Candle Makers Now Have to
Seek Observation-Disclosures to
Mr.. Tawney.

The following letter, which has been re-
ceived by Representative Tawney from an
employe of the Chicago stockyards, eX-
plains itself:
1.-The last thirteen years the Chicago
production of olemargarine, butterine and
what not has steadily increased, while the
bygrease products of packing houses have
steadily decreased. In former years all
kinds of grease products were procurable
for manufacturing purposes.
"Lubricating fats, inferior fats for soap
manufacturing and low grade grease of all
kinds were on the market for any purpose
desirable as well as for export, but lately
this has all been changed, and the demand
for so-called oleo oil or fat has so increased
that the stockyardS plant has introduced
deodorizing processes, so that all kinds of
inferior fats and offal can be turned into
products which go into the manufacture
of oleomargarine and butterine. Here in
Chicago are numerous factories turning out
so-called butter at prices from S to 20 cents
a pound
with the stockyardS; they are always in
the market as purchasers of stockyards
fat products. The trick and mode of doing
business is as follows:
The melted fat and beef lard is saved
carefully; then transferred in nicely paint
ed wagons to the various factories in the
city. This part of the process is all right.
But how about the thousands of barrels of
oleo oil that leave the stockyards in nicely
iron-bound, vanished barrels? Many peo-
pie think it is for export. Not SO; these
barrels are filled with anything that can
be processed and deodorized and turned in
to oleo oil, and then delivered to the fac
tories. When these barrels are emptied
they are returned to the grease producers
and filled again. This is the principal in
gredient in the much-advertised grade of
finely colored butterine on the market at
the present time, which is carefully gotten
up for the retail trade
$50 much for the production of fine grade
butterine in the city factories. How about
the product of the packing houses or the
stockyards? That is put on the market in
bulk packages. In these every fat product
that cannot be disposed of otherwise finds
its way into the butterine, and Is shipped
all over the country and sold as low as s
cents a pound. No tallow Is sold from
stockyards nowadays. Butterine demands
it all. Soap manufacturers, candle manu-
facturers, etc, have to seek their stocks
elsewhere. Horse killers and dead animal
contractors and fertilizing producers fur
nish soap stocks, etc. The inclosed is the
observation of thirteen years an en-
ploye of the stockyards, where have seen
everything in the fat line has been and is
being utilized in its production.
The oleomargarine fight in Congress is
attracting attention all over the country,
especially in New England and in the states
of the Mississippi valley. Petitions are
pouring in upon Congress in favor of the
Grout bill and the newspapers of the sec
tions mentioned are taking up the fight in
earnest,

Steel and Wire Directory
UphoiIs John w. Gates.


The New York Herald of today says:
After a four-hour conference, held behind
closely guarded doors, the directors of the
American Steel and Wire Company, just
after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, fully
indorsed the recent remarks and perform
ances of Chairman John w. Gates by issu-
ing the following statement:
1.-The board of directors of the American
Steel and Wire Company discussed the gen.
eral situation and unanimously decided that
until the overproduction in goods and ma
terials has been disposed of the executive
committee may make such reductions in
prices as they may find necessary to ac-
complish this end and resume operations
at the idle mills
The authority so given will be exercised
at once. The American Steel and Wire Com
pany will this morning announce cuts of $40
per ton in the price Of all its products,
with the exception of annealed fence wire,
which will be cut SIS per ton. These cuts
will take effect Immediately.
This Endorsement of Chairman Gates will
upset many of Wall streets calculations.
Since Mr.. Gates announced on Monday the
closing of twelve of his company's mills on
account of overproduction and began to
talk of iron trade organization the stock
exchange district has been full of charges
of stock jobbery and of rumors that every
member of the Gates contingent would be
forced to resign his position in the COM
pany in favor of Messrs. Carnegie, Frick,
Moore and half a score of others whose
names were freely mentioned.
! After these directors had been in session
almost two hours President Gary and d.
rectors Robert Bacon and II. H. Rogers of
the Federal Steel Company went into the
meeting, by request, it was said, and ac-
cording to later reports, discussed with the
steel and wire men not only the general
state of the iron trade, but the attitude OF
their company toward the latter concern
ing contracts for materials to be supplied
the Wire Trust by the Federal Steel Com
pany 1t is understood that the carrying
out Of these contracts was insisted upon.
The cuts to be announced this morning
amount to from 80 to 33 per cent. Nails
are to be marked down 81 keg, or $40 per
ton. Annealed fence wire will be cut SIS,
and all other products $50 a ton. These
products have been selling at from $50 to

Separate Conventions.

A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn, last
night says: Tennessee will have two repub-
lican tickets in the field in the coming state
campaign. Likewise two sets of delegates
will go to the national convention at Phila-
delphia- As expected. the state convention
split here today, the Evans contingent walk
ing out and holding a separate convention.
w. F. Poston of Crockett county is its gu
bernatorial selection, while John f. Mccall
is at the head of the state ticket named by
the convention over which Congressman
Brownlow presided. Pension Commissioner
Henry Clay Evans will lead one delegation
to the national convention, while the other
will be directed from the background by
Congressman and National Committeeman
Walter P. Brownlow. Both delegations are
Instructed for Mckinley.
The situation is the outcome Of bitter
factiorfal fight that has been waged in the
state for some time. The expected storm
broke in the state convention soon after IL
net today, and the Evans men bolted, pro-
ceeding to Amusement Hall, where they
held a convention OF their own. The split
came when the ''uncontested' delegates
refused to substitute the minority for the
majority report Of the committee on Gre
dentials.

fering From Tall Stones.
A dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,, says: 1t
is the belief of many that Gov. Tanner will
not recover from his present illness. Gall
stones is the cause of the severe attacks
of gastritis from which Gov. Tanner has
suffered for some time, and it Is the opin-
ion Of DR.. Nicholas Sem of Chicago that
an operation will be necessary in the near
future.
DR.. Sem was sent for. He held a long
consultation at the executive mansion with
the local physicians. Last night they gave
out the following statement:
physicians in the case positively ex-
clude the idea OF tuberculosis or cancer
from the diagnosis. We believe the par
oxysms of pain are due to the presence
of gall stones and It's consequences. We
believe that his condition is such as prob
ably to require a Surgical operation in the
near future. Incorporation, though a deli
cate one, is usually successful"
