BUTCHERS TO CARRY
FIGHT TO POLLS.
Will Ask Every Candidate for Gon-
gress Whether He Will Vote
to Remove Meat Tariff.
STRUGGLE Is ONE FOR LIFE.
Retail Tradesmen. by Resolution
Adopted, Will Push Campaign
in All Parts of the
United States.
STRUGGLE IS ONE FOR LIFE.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Aug. AT its last days
session the Retail Butchers and Meat
Dealers National Convention gave a sur
prise TO the Republican party. which will
compel the &c. o. p managers to revise
their attitude on the tariff or run great
risk of losing the next House.
1t is regarded here as the most threaten
ing movement that has yet been made
against Speaker Henderson and the high
tariff clique.
Resolutions were passed by the butchers
convention instructinE all the local bodies
throughout the country to interrogate all
candidates for Congress at the approaching
election az 20 what their attitude will be In
case they are elected on the proposition to
remove the duty on meats and meat prod
ucts
This resolution follows the one adopted at
the first days session declaring in favor of
the removal of these duties. BY to-day's
action every butcher and retail meat dealer
in the United States who Is a member of
the organization is instructed TO work and
vote for such candidates as will pledge
themselves 10 contend for the removal OF
the customs duty. and to oppose all those
whose answers are not satisfactory.
Many of the members Of this association
who are not butchers are grocerS as well
as meat dealers. They feel that they are
with the beef trust that has been enabled
TO mark up the prices of all sorts of meat
foods.
The effect of such Champaign by these
tradesmen in the great centers of Oopula-
ton, as well as in the smaller cities and
towns. can readily be figured when ii is re-
called that they come in contact daily with
some member OF every family and when Il
Is also borne in mind that the customers
of all the butchers I'm the countTy-tO- wit
the entire population-have been profoundly
stirred for the last six months over the
sky prices of beef.
The following officers were elected:

In all probability the committee will rec

amendment.
