TRUST" EXPOSED
A SYSTEMATIC SHORTAGE OF
WEIGHT FOUND IN BOXES
OF CHICKENS SOLD.
Exposure Follows Arrest of New York
Dealer - Magistrate Recommends
That Action Be Commenced
AGAINST the "7rust."

New York, May 31.-In the Myrtle
avenue police court, Brooklyn,
Wednesday, Harry Schmidt, an en-
ploye of Armour & Co., the Chicago
packers, was arraigned on a charge
of having sold meat at short weights.
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 so
pounds of chickens there is short
age of four pounds or more. The
trust will only sell at "box weights.
Butchers throughout the country
are paying 16 cents pound for boxes
supposed to contain SO pounds Of
chickens They receive only 46
pounds and so lose Ga cents on every
box.
It 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 a year, but the butchers
have feared to take action, knowing
that the trust would retaliate by dis
eliminating against them.
Wants Officials Arraigned.
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. Little
can be gained by convicting the de-
fendant, as he is merely an agent. A
stop should be put to this systematic
method Of making the public pay for
the commercial shrinkage Of chick
ems"
1T would be hard to estimate how
many millions Of dollars the public
has been swindled out Of by this out
rageous method" said Inspector Fred
erick II. Tighe.
''The same conditions exist all over
the country The butchers fear to OPP
pose the trust, and so the fraud has
never been exposed before"
Inspector Tighe also declared that
the trust uses the same methods in
selling pork tenderloins and lard.

GREATEST YEAR FOR
INVENTIONS.

Nineteen hundred and six was the
greatest year tor inventions on re-
cord. The greatest activity was in
improvements and discoveries III
electrical apparatus. machinery for
automobiles. gas engines. and wire
less telegraphy. 1t is not possible
for the patent depart ment to give
the exact number Of patents granted, 4
but the commercial value Of
last YEARS patents exceeds any pre-
vious year.
Edward B. Moore, assistant com
missioner of patents. is authority for
the statement that the application
for patents to-day come almost en-
tirely form professional inventors,
men Who are trained to discover and
devise new methods, new processes,
new machinery and improvement is
on old machinery. They are paid
very large salaries by the large cor
porations because of their inventive
genius. The long haired crank is
seen no more about the patent office
department.. The inventor of to-day
is scientist. Their inventions are
not the result of accidents, but are
obtained after years of careful study,
the application of scientific know
ledge, combined with plenty of eX-
perience.
The great corporations of this
country employ hondreds Of profess
sional inventors and the largest
number of patents naturally come
from them. When the large concerns
began to combine their interests a
few years ago the cry arose that the
relaxation of competition would be
the death blow of invention; that
former rival manufacturers having
merged their interests would not at
tempt improvements. This theory
has been proven entirely wrong.
With the combine began the greatest
oCC1V1Oy Ill WO1 lu 1loS
ever known. The General Electric
Company, the United States Steel
Company, the harvesting manufactur-
ing concerns, the automobile manu-
facturers. secured the world for in
yentors and the result has been more
inventions during the past few years
than were ever recorded before. a
staff Of 300 examiners in the patent
department is kept busy examining
the applications for patents.
The greatest strides in invention
during the past few years have been
along electrical lines. Their number
is legion. and each week sees one or
more new electrical discoveries.
Three is also considerable activity
in wireless telegraphy and aerial
navigation and d large number OF
patents we're granted in 1906 in these
fields.

Colorado is not the only state inter-
