from a financial but from a 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
,ieplOred the attacks on the Beef Trust
because they were just ~ guilty them
selves.
~tS
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 MIX Fed ads. transports.
ton cOurtestes and theatrical passes
with the privilege OF getting acquaint.
cd with an actor or two.
Some Of the fellows who are nd.
vertising cattle cars, electric cars and
other wonderful improvements and
who offer the stock Of same for sale
ut fabulously low figures, should be
locked after by the police. There are
too many Of them at 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 the benefit
Of the beef trust by clapping a duty OF
ID per cent nd val0rem 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 1t controls both the prices
Of shoes In the domestic market and
In the export shoe trade, built up NJ
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 is regu.
lated largely by the same trust of cor.
pOratiOns.
This IL logical and unavoidable AT
present. 1t 10 due In part b special
privileges of lower rates In the ship.
ping. private refrigerator lines, i'm.
mense grain elevators and cOld-stOrage
plants scattered at the strategic points
and In part, no doubt, to the sheer
brutal force of unlimited millions Of
dollars; Il power welded by few per.
sons whom society does not hold per.
sonally responsible at present.
