attention has been repeatedly called

The Beef Trust saturates Chicago
with stenches from Its rendering es.
Establishments ana glue factories. 1t

The Beef Trust has caused big
raise in the price of shoes. The al
! ugcl beef trust controls incidentally
| the domestic hide market. which Con-
! gress closed practically for the benefit
Of the beef trust by clapplng luty of
| II per cent al valOrcm on foreign
/ hides. The alleged beef trust, accord
IN: to Associated Press dispatches,
| now also controls the domestic tann!n.
/ industry. Hence the beef trust fixes
| now the cost of the leather, tie raw
| material out of which shoes are made,
| and hence Ii controls both the prices
! of shoes in the domestic market and
In the export shoe trade, built up at
great expense by our shoe manufac-
! turers.
Furthermore, ii Is common knowl-
edge that the domestic price of butter,
eggs, buttcrlne, dressed poultry, the
grains, fruits, vegetables, apples, pota-
toes ana probably other foods Is regu-
lated largely by the same trust of cor
| poratiOns.
This is logical and unavoidable ut
present. 1t Is due In part to special
privileges Of lower rates In the ship
