Why is II, and by whose orders was
1t that after the city inspectors had
condemned 40 lumpy-jawed cattle
that they We're released?
by whose orders was 1t done?
Is there another city besides Chi.
cago that will even allow a lumpy.
jawed "critter' to enter It?
Is It not true that In st. Louis each
lumpy.ja .jawcd beast means a fine Of
$500. and that In Toronto, Canada, the
beast and even Its hide IRE destroyed?
In view Of the fact that the Health
Department has officially stated that
s. per cent Of tho meat condemned
by the city was afflicted with tuber.
culosis, why have the city inspectors
been ordered to discontinue tho work
OF condemning and destroying It?
The Reef Trust has caused a big
raise In the price of shoes. Tho al.
legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market, which Con.
gress closed practically for the benefit
Of the beef trust by clapping duty of
II per cent ad val0rem OH foreign
hides. The alleged beef trust, accord.
Ing to Associated Press dispatches,
now also controls the domestic tanning
Industry. Hence the beef trust fixes
now the cost OF the leather, the 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
J great expense by our shoe manufac.
turers.
Furthermore, It Is common kn0wl.
edge that the domestic price Of butter,
eggs, butterine, dressed poultry, the
grains, fruits, vegetables, apples, pota.
toes and probably other foods Is regu.
lated largely by the same trust of cor.
porations.
This Is logical and unavoidable at

The Beef Trust will be Investigated
