Just finished reading Mr.. McCarthy's IF

MEAT ESCAPES

stock yards in this city. in speaking OF
the present agitation yesterday reit-
Grated his assertion that mot a pound
OF tainted meat escapes into the local
market"
II never saw anything like the frenzy
displayed over this question" he said.
Men who never saw the interior OF
packing house are learnedly discussing
the necessity OF giving the inspectors
the right 10 destroy all the meat they
condemn. They do destroy II now.
They always have done so, at least
since / came here ten years ago.
Just as soon as the tagger' puts the
suspicious tag upon carcass IL III
hauled of TO the governments room
and locked I'm there No one has the
key 10 that room except the govern
ment. BY and by the inspector who
is a trained veterinary, comes around
and examines the meat II his judg-
ment corroborates the verdict OF the
'tagger then the animal is forthwith
dumped into the tank and converted
into fertilizer The packer gets moth
ing from that animal except the hide,
hoofs, horns, and the fertilizing mate
rial
For any one 10 assert condemned
meat escapes into the local market or
into any other market Is the veriest
nonsense"

NSOntluueu from fdse ohS'l
Members OF the state central commit
tee tell us that the elections In the towns
have no real significance. and that, even
though a town or two should be captured
by the Democrats, II Is no indication or
defeat on state issues. They say that now
the state central committee has little 10
do with the town elections, as under the
new ballot laws the state returning board
counts the ballots which the town coun.
ellis used 10 count. When the town coun-
ctls made the official returns. II was nec-
essary for the state central committee TO
take all kinds of interest In the election OF
the town councils so that discreet men
should be elected 20 count the ballots.
This necessity Is now done away as the
state returning board has proved itself
quite equal to doing the work as the boss
desires
Take IL all around. things have reach
ed such a pass that a whole lot or Re-
publicans are saying that they would not
be surprised 10 see the party buried under

TO the view that no government ought to
use force TO compel another government

STRIFE AMONG
MUSICIANS IS
MORE SERIOUS

There is every prospect, IL the re-
ports that reach the public be true,
that the musicians' union Is on the
verge OF disruption. and all because
of the fight between two OF the lead
ing musicians over the work done In
the city, which was reported In these
columns two weeks ago.
The fight has gone further and now
there are charges and counter charges
filed against the two men most active
In the controversy.
The latest phase Of the matter comes
through a charge fled against Edward
NJ Fay. first for securing union
Rocky Point and for sending a set Of
men down TO Bristol TO play for an
affair OF the Eagles. making no provi-
sions for a prompter. The contract
did not call for prompter and the
calling was done from the floor with
no one authorized 10 do II.
A letter from the Eagles stated TO the
president and the board that no
prompted was mentioned In the con-
tract and the whole matter was prop
erly I'm the hands OF the Fall River
union, which makes arrangement
for prompters.
The result OF the fight Is that the
fact that men are cutting the price list
adopted by the union by the whole
sale is being shown, and there Is talk
now Of repudiating the contract made
by Mr.. Fay with Mr.. Harrington, even
TO the extent OF ignoring the Central
Labor union
Just where the fight will end no one
knows Those conversant with the
whole situation that X II Is kept up, II
will mean the disruption, and that
none OF those In power seems willing
10 make the least sacrifice.
There will be a meeting OF the exec
utive board on Thursday and at that
time IL is predicted that something far
more sensational than has yet crept
into the case will be made known.
