Shortage Of Cars Begins.

Denver.-Because of a shortage OF
cattle cars live stock is being shipped
into Denver from eastern Colorado in
box-cars. During the past few days
several carloads have arrived at the
stock yards in this way.
The railroads are already complain
ing that they are having difficulty in
supplying all the cars demanded.
When the heavy shipments Of coal
commence. which will occur in ten
days or two weeks. the railways will
be unable to supply all the cars re-
quired. and may have difficulty in NOV
ing the shipments they receive.
Business in this state was never be-
fore SO heavy at this time Of year. The
fruit crop. although not as large as
last year, requires more than thous-
and cars The sugar beet crop will
commence moving just when the de-
mand for coal will begin to be heard.
and the general shipments Of the au-
-tumn. which are always heavy. will
give the railroads more business than
they can handle.
One of the members Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission is inves-
tigating the car shortage in other
parts of the country and will probably
come to Denver within the next month.

TEN men WHO
RULE PRICES

PACKING PLANTS RULE
CONSUMERS PAY MORE. BUT RAW
MATERIALS SHOW NO
INCREASE.

Chicago.-Investigat of the pack
ing trust now under way by govern
ment ofncials is alleged to have devel.
oped that ten men In Chicago compose
the dynamic force of a formidable lis:
Of corporations that control prices
from those of meat on the hoof to
shoe. and from breadstuis to trans
portation.
These ten men are asserted to hold
the balance upon the worlds supply OF
the commonest necessities of life: j.

erts, L. F. Swift, Edward Morris. T. ].

The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as being
from the inside of the big packing
plants of Chicago. That fact becomes
significant when 1t is stated that they
are all directors OF the same corpora.

lowing:
The price Of meat to all consumers.
The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price OF leather to all factories,
and thus. Incidentally:
The price of shoes.
The grain trade Is controlled, and. II
follows:
Control Bread, Too.
The price OF bread.
Thus without taking such endless
details as the fertilizer market. where
the trust controls the price that
farmer pays for his fertilizer. 1t ap-
pears that the latest fight Of the gov
eminent in the trust field is directed
to the two chief essentials OF life
bread and meat.
That the big ten at Chicago has
raised the price Of these things to the
consumer and made no corresponding
increase in price paid for raw material
is the chief assertion of the govern
ment, and 1t is upon this general line
that the most interesting trust fight In
the country is now being planned.
when the directors of the National
Packing Company decide upon the
price to be paid for cattle. that settles

ton that has come into the hands OF

leaders Of the food market OF the
world.

Hiohwaymen Attack Golden Minister

Greeley. Colo.-Because he refused
to stand and deliver when commanded
by two highwaymen to throw up his
hands, the Rev. Oscar w. Gustofsen

bullet holes in his body.
While walking home from church

FINE GIFT TO PRINTERS HOME
Woman Donates 500, 900 for Comfort
Of Aaed Members Of Craft

Colorado Springs, Colo.-A Colorado
Springs woman has offered 100000
for the establishment OF an endow-
ment fund for the erection and mainte-
nance of cottages in which to house
the families Of inmates Of the Union
Printers home in this city. The board
of trustees of the home, at the final
session at their meeting here. passed
the necessary amendment to the char
ter Of the home to permit the estab-
lishment of the fund
Another important action taken by
the trustees was the erection OF a tu-
berculosis sanitarium. The present
hospital annex will be used for this
purpose and the most advanced meth
DDS known to science for the treat
ment of consumption will be adopted.
The offer Of the 100000 from the
woman, whose name Is withheld, was
made about one year ago, but could
not be accepted, because OF the char
ter as II then stood. The last Legisla-
ture passed q law permitting incorpor-
atoms to change their charters.
1t is expected that citizens from all
over the country will contribute to the
fund and that within a few years the
amount will have grown sufficiently to
accommodate all occupants OF the hos
pital. Heretofore there has been a
great deal of hardship among the fam
lilies of the printers because OF en-
forced separation. The new fund will
permit the relatives to live near them
in cottages and tents.
There are about sixty patients in
the hospital annex and nearly 100 In
the regular building.
