The wedge Of inquiry and indignation
which the public of Salt Lake has insert
ed into the glittering surface of the local
trade combine circle, promises to disclose
the core of the circle as even more com
mercialy corrupt and Illegally unjust than
the retailing exterior could possibly be.
Scores of incidents have come to light
the past twenty-four hours that prove
more concluSively than ever the fact that
the wholesale butchers and grOcers Of
this city are organized into a trust or
most cruel, vicious and oppressive nature.
The agreement existing among these
half way men is now known to be so
nefariOus in it's operations that local as
well as foreign manufacturing concerns
who have in the past dealt directly with
local retail butchers and grOcers have
felt the heavy hand of the combination
and upon refusing to knuckle under to the
dictates of the trust are today fighting
the wholesalers and jobbers of their own
city and state.
With the announcement that the new
plant of the Utah Packing company, To-
Gated north of Beck's Hot Springs, Will
begin operations within the next two
weeks it is believed the first big step to-
ward breaking the butchers end of the
wholesale and retail food combination in
Salt Lake is near at hand.
From authoritative sources 1t was learned
Yesterday that the Utah Packing com
pany has absolutely refused to JOIN the
combination of manufacturers and whole
salers controlling food commodity prices
in Salt Lake and that the company viii
operate independently, selling its meat al
a fair price, regardless of threats and

New Retail Meat Shops.

Knowing that the Retail Butchers and
Grocers' association will boycott it at
once, under command of the wholesalers
the new packing company has proVlceo
for opening a new meat market in every
ward of Salt Lake, these markets to han
die the products of the Utah Packing
company and selling them to the pubic
at fair prices, this meaning necessarily
that the prices will be materially lower
than those charged by the butchers be-
longing to the Retail Butchers and Gro
GERS association
Two local men are at the head of the
scheme to establish the new retail mar
kets They refuse to allow their names
to be used at this time.
When news of the proposed move was
received in commercial quarters yester-
day merchants who are entering into the
fight for a lower cost of living in salt
Lake, predicted instantly that if the plan
goes into effect it will have public sup
port in large measure and that it should
sound the death knel of the butchers
trust.
1t was reported late last night that
every effort is being made by influential
men to induce one of the largest whole
sale grocery firms here to break from
the combination and sell independently 10
the independent retailers and such mem
bers of the Retail Butchers and Grocers
association who will dare to handle Its
goods. 1t is being pointed out now that
the wholesaler who has the nerve to
break from the trust at this time and an
nounce that he will act independently
will receive the undivided support of the
independent retailers and they in turn OF
the public.
