ed the government regulation of rail-

lions are: Give the government full
control of interstate traffic; subject
mail carrying roads to the same su-
pervision; provide supervision of
bond and stock issues; seek protection
of investors in railroads; demand COM
plete publicity in all business; hold
officers criminally liable for misusing
funds; permit traffic agreements bene-
fitting the public; avoid confiscation
of railroad property; secure shorter
hours for train operators; provide for
physical examination of roads; perfect
uniform accounting system.

properties are worth as much as the
securities representing them.
The Good Railroad Man.

railroad man operates his road FOR per
manent profits; keeps in touch with
people along the line; not so familiar
with speculative market; seeks fair re-
turn for stockholders; does not seek
temporary advantage; treats road as
business, not speculation.

MEAT TRUST ROBS THE PUBLIC,
SCHEME EXPOSED ~ WHICH
PUBLIC Is FORCED TO PAY
FOR SHORTAGE.

New York, June l. A gigantic
scheme by which the meat trust robs
the public was revealed in the Myrtle
avenue police court, Brooklyn, when
Harry Schmidt, an employee Of Armour
& Co., the Chicago packers, was ar
raigned on a charge of having sold
meat at short weight.
The arrest Of Schmidt followed an
extensive investigation made by in
spectors of the bureau of weights and
measures. They have found that on
every box marked as containing fifty
pounds of chickens there is shortage
of four pounds or more. The trust will
only sell at 'box weights"
Butchers throughout the country are
paying 16 cents a pound for boxes sup
posed to contain fifty pounds of chick
ems. They receive only forty-six
pounds and so lose IS cents on every
box.
1t is necessary for the butchers to
add this additional cost to the retail
price, so the public has to foot the
bill. This practice has been going on
for nearly year, but the butchers
have feared to take action, knowing
that the trust would retaliate by dis
eliminating against them.
Magistrate Manner, before whom
the case against Schmidt was up for
hearing, was indignant at the revela,
tions made.
Il will hold this prisoner for trial
in the general sessions" he said, "and
in the meantime trust steps will be
taken to bring an action against the
officials of Armour & Co., who have
guilty knowledge of this fraud"
