from q financial but from sanitary

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.

The Beef Trust can poison the pro.
pie; the railroad trusts slaughter tho
people and the theatrical trust roast
the people. But the Milk Fed Press
views the situation with cOmplacsncy
because Of Milk Fed ads. Transports.
ton courtesies and theatrical passcs
with the privilege Of getting acquaint.
cd with an actor or two.
Some Of the fellows who are al.
vertising 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 at large In Chicago
to-day.
The Reef Trust mas caused u 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
10 per cent nd valOrem on foreign
hides. The alleged heef 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
ma terlal 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 mp a.
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. p0ta
toes and probably other foods 10 regu.
lated largely by the same trust Of cor
pOratiOns.
This is logical and unavoidable ut
present. 1t 10 due In part 10 special
privileges of lower rates In the ship
ping, private refrigerator lines, i'm,
mense grain elevators and cOld-storage
plants scattered ut the strategic points
and In part, no doubt, to the sheer
brutal force of unlimited millions OF
dollars; a power welded by few per-
sons whom society does not hold per
sonally responsible at present.
