MEAT LAWS GIVE LABOR WOE.
Workmen Forced to Pay Prices 20 Per
Cent Higer than Formerly.

BERLIN, Jan. ia correspondent
has made inquiries in various indus
trial centers regarding the effect OF
the recent German prohibitory meat
law on the condition OF the working
men. These inquiries have been d.
rected chiefly to factories having their
own commissariat, buying at whole
sale and selling at retail to the WORT
men. The average returns snow
that the cost OF living to the work
man is 12 per cent higher than last
summer. not taking into account the
rise in the price of coal. which is
about one mark (25 cents) week
higher than last winter.
At one of the factories investigated
corned beef was formerly the mann
article of food consumed by the WORK
men employed. who each bought one
pound daily at the cost of 90 pefen-
nies 16 cents). Since last Octo-
ber the workmen have been compelled
by the new law to eat German meat
instead of the imported product. at
cost fully 20 per cent higher, on &C
count of the large amount of fat
and bones, than the corned beef for
merly sold to them at the factory.
OF the workmen employed about
l 600 earn from S3.75 to 81 week.
II from this sum is deducted 20 per
cent fo, agrarian protection and fur
ther tribute to the coal barons. the

Five years ago a rich syndicate
OF New Workers was organized by the
late Senator Brice for the construc-
tion of railroad from Hankow on
the YangtZe river in China to Canton
in the southern part of the empire.
The proposed road was to pass
through the most densely settled and
richest provinces. A survey was
made by William Barclay Parsons,
who has written book describing his
experiences and observations. and
the line WAS located The sudden
death of Mr.. Brice caused considera-
bile confusion, and Mr.. Parsons, the
chief engineer. accepted similar po-
sition in connection with the under
ground railroad in New York City.
For two years the scheme has lain
dormant for that reason, and now the
remaining members of the syndicate
have sold their interests to Belgian
company which is building road
through the provinces north of the
YangtZe river.
