BUTCHERS HAVE AMPLE PROOF
Declare Attorney General should Call
on Them for Evidence of
Packers Tsust.

KANSAS CITY, April 3o.-(specIal Tele-
gram.)-The retail butchers assert that II
Attorney General Crow really wants evil
dence Of the existence Of a beef trust III
should summon them instead of the pack
ers. They declare they can furnish him
plenty.
The strongest evidence they have is the
uniformity Of the wholesale price OF beef
at all Of the houses and In the fact that
the rise in quotations takes place stimuli
t%anuously on Monday mornings. Another
evidence cited is the black list system I'M
der which a dealer who misses the regular
weekly payment Of his bill to one packing
house is unable TO buy any meat from an
other until that bill is paid. While his
credit may be extended a short time at the
house to which he is obligated, he becomes
entirely subject to that house in the price
he pays for meat.
The price Of meat sometimes varies half
a cent a pound at the different houses, but
the butchers assert that when they order
from the houses quoting the low price they
axe told that their orders cannot be filled.
I'VE know what the packers will tell the
attorney general" said a prominent Wal
nut street butcher. Let him come to US
and we will show that there is no COM
petition between the packers in Kansas
City"
