IS THIS A BIG BLUFF.
Packers Threaten To Make Pure
Creamery Butter,
BUY COWS AND SELL MILK.

Kansas City, Sept 27.-A govern
process renovated butter has been
issued to Swift & Co., by the deputy
collector of internal revenue in Kansas
City, Kans. The action of Swift < Co.
will be followed by all the other large
manufacturers of butterine and it
means that the war against the dairy
men, who are largely responsible for
the passage OF the olco bill in the last
congress, is on.
The packers, while they do not in
tend to quit the manufacture of but
terine, will by the license issued to
them by the government, manufacture
pure cream butter. At the Swift plant
in Kansas City, this butter will be
manufactured III the same building in
which the oleO is prepared, although
six foot wall win separate the cleo
and real butter departments. This
is required by the cleo law
BY the terms of the oleo bill the
packers will have to pay only revenue
of q cent per pound on the pure butter
manufactured.
a reduction in the price is almost
certain, for the packers make no secret
of the fact that the new enterprise has
been started solely for the purpose of
Furnishing the men who tried to put
the cleo out of business.
Just where the packers in.end to
get their milk and cream is not gen.
orally known. The dairymen prac-
tically control the milk and cream out
put and it is believed that they would
fefuse 10 sell the product to the pack
SArs- The latter, however, evidently
know where they are going to get their
.Anpphes, and it is possible that they
aANen contemplate buying the milch
COWS and supplying themselves. No
telling, they may start TO selling milk
and cream and thereby TO put the
dairymcn out of business altogether.
