People VS.. Trusts and Cold Storage.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Much has been said, much is being said
and much more can be said and most earn
est and serious complaints be made against
the numerous trusts, combines and con-
spiracies now cornering the necessaries OF
life, and against the unrighteous manner in
which the public is being imposed upon by
the manipulation of prices of meats poul-
try, eggs, butter, lard and similar articles,
followed sequentially by an increase in
price of all the other necessaries of life, as
food, fuel, etc, bringing thereby hardships
and privation, want and suffering to the
door and tables of the working masses and
their families, until pale-faced famine
stares them out of countenance.
These complaints are so well founded and
universal, and the abuse of the power given
to or assumed by the offending corporation
is so fragrant, and the daily and hourly op-
preston of the bone and sinew-the wealth
producing element of our population-by the
Illegal acts of these greedy combines, that
the only surprise is why some course to
remedy the evil has not been suggested and
inforced before now. ...----.
Why these wrongs and outrages against
humanity can be and are tolerated for any
time, when the remedy to a large extent
lies in the power and voice of the people,
through the law-making and law-expound-
ing officers Of the government, is unex-
plainable.
AS these great wrongs do exist, there
surely must be a remedy. An old maxim
has 1t There can be no wrong without a
remedy. AS there is a remedy for the
wrongs complained Of 1t behooves our leg
islators, both state and national, to find
that remedy and apply it in such manner
as to protect the people from the maws OF
those voracious trusts.
Meats, poultry, eggs, butter lard, etc, in
their natural state cannot be profitably
withheld from market or use for any
length of time-in short, such products
would be destroyed; hence, to preserve and
corner them, resort is had to artificial
means-that is to say, resort is had either
to deleterious chemicals or cold storage:
termine the harmful quality of the article
so preserved for an indefinite time. Without
the use of chemicals or resort to cold stor-
age 1t would be impossible to corner and
indefinitely withhold from market these
necessaries of life, and the SPECTATORS
would be compelled to part with their
wares to the people in order to protect
themselves from ruin.
The legislatures, both national and state,
have ample power to enact suitable laws
prohibiting the chemically treating or doc
torlng of meats. poultry, butter, lard etc,
and from selling the same for use. Suita-
bic laws could also be enacted regulating
cold storage establishments and providing
that none of the articles mentioned shall be
sold as wholesome food after being kept In
cold storage beyond a given time. and that
after time fixed such articles should not
be marketable.
By knocking these props from under the
corners of the trusts the combines COM
planned of would readily let go their hold
to save their own pockets.

DEFENDANTS FILE ANSWER.
Corby Brothers Explain Case in Which
Union Labor is Involved.

Corby Brothers, the defendants in the
suit recently instituted by James l.. Par
sons, who enjoined them from interfering
with Parsons in completing the erection Of
the building for Corby Brothers with car
penters not affiliated with the Central La
Dor Union, yesterday, by Leon Tobriner,
filed their answer.
The defendants admit entering into a con-
tract with Parsons for the erection of a
bakery; they say that some time prior to
the making Of the contract they made a
verbal agreement with representatives of
the Central Labor Union by which it was
understood that in the erection of build
ings they were to employ only men who
were members of organizations affiliated
with the Central Labor Union. For that
reason provision to the same effect was
inserted In the contract with Parsons. They
admit that Parsons did employ such men
until the men went on strike: that the men
went on strike because Parsons refused to
employ members of the Central Labor
Union upon work other than that per-
formed for the defendants They admit
that Parsons did agree and was DESTROYS
or employing Central Labor Union men
upon their work, but that the men refused
TO continue their work unless he acceded
70 their demand to employ Central Labor
Union men upon the other work. They ad-
INIT that they notified the complainant that
under the provisions of the contract he
could not further continue such work with
men not members of Central Labor Union.
ana that If he so proceeded, they would
refuse him permission to continue the
work, and that their intention was to have
the work performed at the risk and eX-
pense of SAID Parson under a superintend-
ent, with Central Labor Union men, or
make new contract for the completion
of the work
They say that if they did not interfere
with and restrain Parsons from complet-
ing the work with men other than Central
Labor Union people their firm would be
declared unfair, and the product of their
bakery boycotted, and that they took steps
to interfere with Parsons because of this
and the fact that their contract with Par
sons required him to employ Central La
Dor Union people. And for answer they
say that they desire to deal fairly and
Justly with all parties concerned and are
desirous of carrying out the agreement
made with the said Central Labor Union,
as also the contract with the complainant
and accordingly submit the whole matter
to the judgment Of the court as to what
will be meet and proper under the circum-
stances

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Jury's Verdict in Case of James Free
man, Colored.

The jury in the case OF James Freeman.
indicted for the murder of Mary Wells,
late yesterday evening returned a verdict
OF manslaughter. The trial was begun in
Criminal Court No. /, before Justice An
derson Monday last. and the case was
given to the jury about 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The government claimed that the defend
ant killed Mary Wells by kicking her sew
eral times in the stomach early Sunday
morning, January 10 last. The woman died
al a hospital February following.
The defendant when placed upon the
stand admitted quarreling with the woman,
but denied the kicking and made lengthy
statement about the ill-health of the wo-
man. and claimed that her death was the
result of the operation performed at the
hospital.

defense. and Assistant District Attorney

MisteachineiL Literature.
From the Chicago Recoid-H er7ld.

Is it not about tima for thoughtful people
to make an earnest Protest against the cur
rent type of historical novel as literary
nuisance and an educational menace? For
several years there has seemed to be at
least faint hope that the public would
weary Of this kind Of fiction and that the
fad would die Of it's own worthlessness but
the evil at present is growing rather than
waning. Writer'S Of established reputation
are vying with a hst Of obscure authors
and ambitious schods girls in the mad race
to swell the volumL of so-called historical
fiction. 1t is almost appalling to think of
the effect of sleeping the minds of the ris-
ing generation in this crude and sickly So
luton of historical inaccuracies.

change. Some of them are childless;
others are neglected by their husbands.
Now, when man finds his home life
failure he simply throws himself
more and more into his business and
finds relief in the excitement of earn
ing dollars. The woman tries to find
the same excitement and interest in
her clubs.'
II think women's clubs a good thing,
for my part" said the Old doctor. ''In
the old days when a woman was un-
happy or fancied herself to be she took
TO herself mysterious ailments, tam
pered with drugs or cures or else work
ed herself into morbid frame of mind
reading novels. Now, thanks to the
clubs, she has no time for that sort of
thing. Her mind is filed with whole
some interest, and she turns into fine,
well developed, philanthropic woman"
"The woman in the towns or small
cities appreciates her club most" said
the observing woman. 1T gives her a
chance to enjoy over a sociable cup of
tea respite from the cares and drudg
cry of small household. 1t gives her
an opportunity of making friends"
"Ah, that's the side of club life I'm
in favor Of" interrupted the girl-''the
side that increases social intercourse.
Why shouldn't unmarried women who
have to earn their own living have
clubs like those of men? Why shouldn't
there be athletic clubs for women, for
instance, where they might meet in an
atmosphere of good fellowship? Why
should women's clubs be solely pink
teas where papers are read at one and
chunks of solid information dug out of
encyclopedias and doled out to the lis
teners? Think what a boon few
clubs on the order of those for men
would be to girls who come to a
strange town to earn their own living
girls who don't know soul, who
have been used to their own homes and
who have to put up with boarding
houses and the like! Yes indeed. WON
ems clubs are good thing, l say; only
they might be made great deal bet
ter" GRACE ELMORE.
