The discovery OF tons OF rotten
canned goods ana 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 Oh the Beef Trust
because they were just as guilty them
selves.
The Beef Trust can poison the p,o.
pie: the railroad trusts slaughter the
people and the theatrical trust roast
the people. But the MIX Fed Press
views the situation with complacency
because OF Milk Fed ads. transporta.
ton cOurtesIes and theatrical passes
with the privilege Of getting acquaint'
cd with an actor or two.
Some Of the fellows who are ad
vertising cattle cars. electric cars and
other wonderful improvements and
who offer the stock Of same for sale
at fabulously low figures. should be
looked after by the police. There are
too many Of them ut large In Chicago
today.
The Reef Trust nas caused a big
raise In the price of shoes. The al.
legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market. which Con
gress closed practically for the benefit
Of the beef trust by clapping duty OF
Is per cent ad valOrem 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
ana hence II controls both the prices
OF shoes In the domestic market ami
In the export shoe trade, built up ~
great expense by our shoe manufac
turers.
Furthermore, It 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 Is logical and unavoidable al
present. 1t Is due In part to special
privileges of lower rates In the snip
ping, private refrigerator lines, i'm
mense grain elevators and cold-storage
plants scattered at the strategic points
ana in part, no doubt, to the sheer
brutal force OF unlimited millions OF
dollars; Il power welded by Il few per
sons whom society does not hold per
sonally responsible Mt present.
