PRICE OF BEEF
IS NOT TOO HIGH
Says Louis F. Swift, the
Chicago Packer.
THINKS CRITICISM UNJUST
Figures Given to Show That the Mar
ket Has Fallen Steadily Since
Year 1922.

CHICAGO. March 2S.-Louis F. Swift
president Of Swift & Co. in defending
the meat packers. has declared that the
price Of beef is not too high. consider
ing the cost of cattle on the hoot. He
said that criticism on this score is not
in accord with the facts of the situa-
ton.
''All this talk and hubbub about high
prices of beef is unfounded.' - said Mr..
Swift. THE figures do not prove 1t.
There has been no increase in the
cost of beef that I know. and 1 cannot
understand why there should be criti-
cism. Beef sold in the Chicago market
last week at GA cents a pound The
cattle which furnished the beef is a
shrinkage of from 90 to IS per cent IN
slaughtering and dressing, aud, al
things considered, we believe the profits
are little enough.
in June. 1902. the same class Of beef
sold in the Chicago market at S.Si cents
a pound, continued Mr. Swift THE
price has been falling steadily ever
since. In January OF the present year II
was 6.29. while il now is GA. These fig
ures disprOve the argument that there
has not been a corresponding decrease
IN the selling price of beef during this
period as compared with the cost of live
stock.
There has been no change worth
mentioning in price during the last few
weeks. The figures f1uCtuate every
week. and are bound to do So The sell
ing price is governed entirely by the
cost of cattle

No body Of thorOug h-going Yale men
could remain passive under such condi-

Yale cheer for the bull pup. Prof. Has
kins ordered one of the freshmen TO
help the dog regain his liberty. The
freshman said he did rot bring the dog
