SAWMILL Eat HOME

The McGoldrick Lumber Co. has
introduced an innovation in the
lumber business by issuing cards
for a sawmill Eat home from Dec.
10 until Dec. 90 during which time
the plant at the junction of Cincin-
natl st. and the o. r. & n. tracks
will be open to visitors. Officers
and employees of the company will
make it a point to see that visitors
are given an opportunity to safely
view the big mill in full operation.
Attention is called to the fact that
the company has lately installed an
electric lighting plant and is now
running night and day. The numer-
Gus incandescents strung about the
yards and mill make a fine setting
in illumination when viewed from
the Olive ST. bridge.

ony been recognized as such by the
New York police for about three
years. From this city it has spread
throughout the country.
In the past year in this city there
has been no less than a dozen in
stances where Black Handlers have
employed dynamite bombs to eX-
tort money from their victims.
They confine their operations main
ly to prosperous Italians.
Terror strikes al the heart of the
chosen victim when he receives a
letter, of which the following is a
fair example:
Mr.. o Cassun. Sir: Tomorrow
morning you put $500 in a leather
purse, wrap red handkerchief
around it and lay it on bench in
Mulberry park near northeast cor
ner., Do this at 7 a. m. and walk
away quick. If you turn around
you will be shot dead. If you fail
we will kidnap your boy, or we will
blow up your store with dynamite
We mean business. If you notify
the police we will kill you and all
your family. Don't fail US, for we
are desperate.

Small Packers Join
Trust In Protesting

The small packers Of the country
are coming 10 the rescue Of the trust
in the matter OF the meat inspection
legislation They are sending many
kilograms OF protest against the
Beveridge measure, their reasons for
opposition being very different from
those Of the trust concerns
The small packers take the position
that If forced 20 pay for meat inspec-
ton they would be subjected TO a very
heavy tax utterly dispropOrtionate 20
the benefits secured and utterly out Of
relation % the expense that the trust
concerns would have 70 paw. A West
ern Congressman explained the situa-
tion thus
There are many little slaughteriug
establishments that kill few hundred
or thousand head Of stock a year. It
Is largely for local consumption. but
more or less goes 10 interstate business
These concerns could not afford 10 pay
the expense of inspection. Take O. little
concern handling 1000 head q year 1t
would be compelled 10 pay The salary
OF an Inspector, which would not be
less than $1,000. That would add a tax
OF 81 per head TO the output of such an
establishment On the other hand, a
great establishment handling stock by
the thousands Of head daily would get
its inspection for from 70 cents per
head The difference would drive the
little establishments out of business
IL would help farther TO concentrate the
business in the hands Of the trust"
