ANOTHER TRICK OF
THE MEAT TRUST

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 2S.-In its
current issue the Official Journal Of
the Coopers International Union OF
North America exposes what it terms
another trick Of the meat trust and
one which failed to come TO light In
the federal and other recent investi-
cations The article refers to the
practice of silicating eooperage pack
ages In which meats are cured, and
in which butterine and various meats
are packed for shipment The article
says, in part;
In former years all barrels and kegs
used for food products in meat pack
ing houses were planed out clean In
side and the leaks carefully repaired
through mechanical means. For in
stance, if barrel contained a defec-
tive piece Of wood lstave or heading)
the defective piece was removed and
a new one inserted. In the process Of
economy It was found that many Of
the leaks could be temporarily stop

dispensed with by doping the packages
