The discovery Of tons Of rotten
canned goods and decayed material In.
tended for food In the possession Of
Chicago business houses. bears out the
Eagles declaration made some time
ago that Chicago business associations
deplored the attacks on the Beef Trust
because they were just Us guilty them
selves.
AaCSA
The Beef Trust can poison the pro.
plc the railroad trusts slaughter the
pcople and the theatrical trust roast
the people. But the Milk Fed Press
views the situation with compncency
because Of MIX Fed ads. transpor!a.
ton cOurtcsles and theatrical passes
with the privilege of getting acqualnt
cd with IN actor or two.
Some Of the fellows who are al.
vertislng cattle cars, electric cars and
other wonderful improvements and
who offer the stock of same for sale
ut fabulOusly low figures, should be
looked after by the police. There are
too many Of them ut large In Chicago
to-day.
The Reef Trust mas caused big
raise In the price Of shoes. The al.
legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market. which Con.
gress closed practically for tho benefit
OF the beef trust by clapping II duty OF
10 per cent al valorelh on 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 n
great expense by our shoe manufac
turers.
Furthermore, 1t Is common knowl
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 IL logical and unavoidable al
present. 1t IL due In part to specia
privileges OF lower rates In the ship
ping, private refrigerator lines. I'm
mense grain elevators and cOld-stOrag,
plants scattered ut the strategic pOint'
and In part, no doubt, to the slleel
brutal force Of unlimited millions o.
dollars; a power welded by a few per
sons whom society does not hold per
sonally responsible at present.
