THE BEEF TRUST HUNTER

Hang the trust" the warrior roared;
He was a famous leader,
And in the Aldermanic board
The champion .tbeef'' pleader.
fs'death!'' he yelled, with wild adjure
And apoplectic gurgling;
'sA-hungered are the hapless poor
No wonder they go burgling!'
We'll buy no beef-of that be sure
Nor. steak, nor cen runp roast;
Well starve the trust that starves the poor
And hang EN- to lamp -post!'
Homeward then the warrior hied,
And sat him down to dinner;
Bring me meati', he softly sighed
Twas beef, as I'm q sinner!

What Has Become of the Chimes?

Tt the Editor of The Journal
ThS scheme that has recently been set on
foot tt harmonize" the atmosphere in and
around the parks, reminds me of the silence
of the city hall chimes, in which I for one
found NJ slight source Of enjoyment Now
whether these chimes have been permanently
disconti nued,. do not know; but if i mis-
take not there has been an active minority
at work for. several years to secure their
Suppression; and the success of this movement
very naturally has slight tendency to chill
any enthusiasm or even interest in the present
scheme.
I have always regretted that a move to an
other office building hid the big, round face Of
the city hall clock from view; but I was more
than comforted for several years in this loss
by being able still to hear the chimes

Your figures make the chances of a college
graduate as four to three as against a non
coIlegian for a seat in the house of repre-
sentatives, and two to one for seat in the
senate, which is something of an argument
in: favor of college education for political
aspirants. But, if 1 not seriously in
error, the more correct ratio would be forty
to- three for the house, and twenty to one
for the senate in favor of college graduates.

A plan for. Flowers in omces.

To the Editor of The Journal:
The great interest in flowers and the cuI-
ture of the same which has been so admir-
ably advocated by c. M. Loring and others,
is most gratifying. There is one feature of
this pleasing subject that I would like to
especially emphasize, and that is that in
this city, as we'll as all other large Cities
there are thousands of Offices and many
thousands of persons are daily employed
therein, and the thought has occurred to me
that in every Office or place of business a
bunch of flowers, nicely arranged, with the
foliage as well as the flowers, should be put
in some conspicuous place where everyone in
the office can see and enjoy them 1t can be

1t might be very much questioned whether

upon as an evidence of success in life! But

The East Side Hebrew Kosher Guaranteed
Benevolent Association held meeting yester-
day at New Irving Hall No. 21S Broome-st 10
consider what steps ii should take to protect It's
members from the Beef Trust. Joseph Goldman
presided. More than four hundred members
were present Two suggestions received close
attention-one to close the butcher shops
tirely during the trouble. and the other TO
establish store in each block and to have
the butchers work together. A committee of
thirty appointed to draw up resolution TO
be reported al a meeting this afternoon at No.
a. Essex-st. The committee was instructed to
communicate with the allied associations-the
kosher butchers in Brooklyn and the "Unger
isher'' brapch-sO that they could also have
delegates present to indOrse the committees ac
ton After this conference the committee will
report at mass meeting to be held on Tuesday.
In speaking Of the position of the kosher
butchers Jacob Andron said they all felt that
the situation nearly hopeless for them.
ordinarily the meat sold by these butchers was
close TO six hundred thousand pounds week.
Now it is barely three hundred thousand
pounds. Till the present squeeze they have been
able to purchase the meat for from eight TO ten
cents a pound for hundred pounds. Now
the price is 11l5 cents. But the most serious
condition is that whereas hitherto the butchers
have received their bills on Friday and set
tied them on Monday, they now receive their
orders c. q. u.
Mr.. Andron said his credit had always been
good. yet when he went TO the slaughter house
last Friday credit refused to him. On his
asking the reason, he said that one OF the sales
men decla red: Well If the meat costs much
more than il did how you pay for t."
Other butchers have had the same experience.
Since Swift Co. closed their slaughter house
many Of their statesmen have been left without
employment Some Of them attended the meet
ing yesterday. They reported 70 have as
sured the butchers that the price Of cattle was
really lower, although the price or meat had
advanced.
Illustrative Of the small profit the butchers
make even at the rate Of l6 cents a pound Mr.
AndrOn said that he had kept account of the
sales from chuck Of 40 pounds weight
II amounted to just a. cents, and out Of this
profit had to be taken the rent. pay of an assist
and the cost of ice. The price OF ice had
heen raised from II to 1714 cents in the last two
months
