Sharp Advance in Meat, Eggs, Poultry

Sharp Advance i'm Meat, Eggs, Poultry
and Vegetables.
Chicago housekeepers are confronted
with prices for foodstuffs that makes
those with slender purses see semi-star-
walton staring at them. Prices for poul-
try, meat, eggs, vegetables and fruit are
growing faster than Jacks bean stalk.
Mutton Is the only staple that in cost has
not kept pace with other edibles, but
mutton as a steady diet pals on the pub
lie appetite.
Beef loins have advanced 4 cents a
pound, now selling for % cents; ribs
have jumped from 141a cents to 10 cents;
porterhouse steak : held at "a cents, an
advance of 4 cents, eggs command "a
cents a dozen, 'lh is cents more than
they cost in May Fruit and vegetables
have gone up because Of rain conditions.
The advance in meat Is laid to the
scarcity of cattle and to the high price Of
corn. The high price of meat started
people eating eggs. There were not
enough to supply the demand, and prices
scared. Last year, when there yas
drought, farmers killed their chickens and
put them on the market. They sold al a
low figure because there were many Of

must pay the ordinary price Of a broiler

RUSH FOR PENSIONS.
Flood of Applications Filed by Span
ish War Veterans.

Flood of Applications Filled by SPAN
ish War Vets~ans.
Pension Commissioner Ware was very
much astonished when the pension appli-
cations growing out of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war were submitted to him. \ COM
paratiYe statement of the records of FIVE
regiments of volunteers and Eve regi-
ments Of regulars which were before
Santiago shows that there has been great
industry on the part of the pension at
torneys.
Commissioner Ware had heard that
there were many applications from vet
Grams of the Spanish-American war, but
the figures were far greater than, he had
imagined.
Western and Southern regiments have
been much less active than Northern and
Eastern regiments in their attempts to
draw money from the United States
treasury. When the Eighth Ohio landed
in Cuba it had 1880 members. Veterans
of this regiment and relatives of deceased
members have fled 705 pension claims.
The government is asked to pay pensions
for the services of SO per cent OF the men
who served in that regiment. This regi-
ment was much larger than most regi-
ments which served in the Spanish war.
Consequently its greater number Of PEN
sion applications will not bring the per-
centage of applicants above that of many
others.
A company which served in certain
volunteer regiment of o Northern State
had captain who was pension attor-
ney. He did not forget his former pro-
fession when he left the service, and it is
said that practically every member Of
that company has an application flied for
4 pension.

BLOW TO STRIKERS.
JUDGE JACKSON FINDS THEM
GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.
Organizers of the Mine Workers Sem
fenced TO Jail for Violating Injunc-
fion--Striie Leaders Denounced as
"ProfessionaI Agitators."

After excoriating Mother" Jones, thu
good angel of the striking miners, and
bitterly denouncing labor agitators, Judge
Jackson OF the United States District
Court at Parkersburg, w. Va, sentenced
seven organizers of the United Mine
Workers Association TO Jail for CONTEMPT
OF his injunction Of June IS, as follows:
Thomas Haggerty, ninety days In jail;
William Morgan, Bernard Rice, Peer
Wilson, William Blakely, GeorgeNBaeon,
Thomas Laskavish, sixty days each.
The courtroom was filed with an in
tensely excited crowd OF miners and Of
fcials Of labor unions. Judge Jaekson's
huge frame shook with emotion as he
dramatically emphasized portions of his
decision. The Judges decision was pref
aced by the bitterest attack ever made
on union methods. 1t goes even further
than Judge Jenkins famous order, or
the decision OF Judge Kohlsaat forbid
ding pickets speaking to workmen. The
miners agree that this is the most effect
I've blow that could be struck against the
mems cause in their attempt to get ont
the 10000 miners in the Fairmont coal
deld.
"In my long experience on the bench"
said Judge jackson, Il cannot recall a
single occasion where any court, either
Federal or State, ever abused the writ
Of injunction in what is known as strike
cases." The court then went on TO
charge Mother" Jones and the others
were in a conspiracy to get the miners to
quit work. He said: Where con-
spiracy exists TO control the employees, as
in this case. either by threats, intimida-
ton, or a resort to any other mode usu-
ally accompanying the action Of strikers,
such action on their part Is not only lie
gal, but a malicious and Illegal interfer-
ence with the employers business. These
defendant" he continued, 'are known
as professional agitators, organizers, and
walking delegates. They have nothing in
common with the people who are en-
ployed in the mines of the Clarksburg
Fuel Company. Their mission is to To-
ment trouble. The strong arm of the
court Is invoked, not TO suppress free
speech, but TO restrain these defendants,
whose only purpose is to bring about
strikes by trying to coeree people who are
not dissatisfied with the terms of their
employment"
Judge Jackson said the utterances of
Mother" Jones in her address near the
Pinnick;nnick mines June 20 should not
emanate from a citizen of this country.
"Such utterances," he remarked, care
the outgrowth Of the sentiments of those
