Every state in the Union now has a fed
Grafton OF women's clubs The growth of
the movement is shown by the fact that
ten years ago there were but seven of
these federatlons with membership not
exceeding $4,000 women. Today the 5000
clubs in the federation have an aggre-
gate membership Of $4,000
Sorosis claims the leadership in the fed
Grafton movement. IL called a meeting of
clubs In 1889 for mutual Improvement
The following year there were several
state declarations formed and at the first
biennial melting of the body known as
the General Federation of Women's
clubs. in Philadelphia, in 1894, five state
federations were represented.
The honor OF being the Oldest women's
club In the United states was at one time
claimed by both the Sorosis OF New
York and the Womans club OF Boston
Each OF these was founded In 1868 But
investigation proved that the club move
ment came out OF the West. The Ladies'
Library Society OF Kalamazoo. Mich,
was founded In 1852. and the Minerva
club of New Harmony, Ind, in 1859
Closely following these four pioneers
came other clubs. The Ladies' Physiolo-
gical Institute OF Boston has the distinc-
ton OF being the first and only woman $
club that had a man for president, Prot
C. p. Bronson serving In this capacity
and being remembered I'm due season by
his grateful followers In the present of
new suit OF clothes.
The first clubs were generally given to
the study OF literature. but gradually
their scope was enlarged and now the
women's clubs are as diversified in their
aims and character as are those of the
men. They are interested i'm everything
under the sun. and In some of the larger
cities exult In clubhouses that rival the
homes OF the mems clubs.

TEN men WHO
RULE PRICES
WHEN PRICES OF BREADSTUFP
GO UP THEY DECREE
1T so.
PACKING PLANTS RULE
CONSUMERS PAY MORE, BUT RAW
MATERIALS SHOW NO
INCREASE.

Chicago.-Investigat of the pack
ing trust now under way by govern
ment officials is alleged to have devel
oped that ten men in Chicago compose
the dynamic force of formidable list
OF corporations that control prices
from those of meat on the hoof to
shoe, and from breadstuffs to trans
portation.
These ten men are asserted to hold
the balance upon the worlds supply OF
the commonest necessities of life: ].
Ogden Armour, E. F. Swift, Ira N. Nor
ris, Thomas E. Wilson, s. A. McRob-
erts, L. F. Swift, Edward Morris, T. J.
Connors, Arthur Meeker, Lawrence A
Carton.
The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as being
from the inside of the big packing
plants of Chicago. That fact becomes
significant when it is stated that they
are all directors of the same corpora
tion-the National Packing Company.
organized under the laws Of New Jer>
sey, with a capitalization of $15.000.-
900. The directorate controls the fol-
lowing:
The price of meat to all consumers.
The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price of leather to all factories.
and thus, incidentally:
The price of shoes.
The grain trade is controlled, and, II
follows:
Control Bread, Too.
The price of bread.
Thus without taking such endless
details as the fertilizer market, where
the trust controls the price that q
farmer pays for his fertilizer, 1t ap-
pears that the latest fight of the gov
ernment in the trust field is directed
to the two chief essentials Of life
bread and meat.
That the big ten at Chicago has
raised the price of these things to the
consumer and made no corresponding
increase in price paid for raw material
is the chief assertion of the govern
ment, and it is upon this general line
that the most interesting trust fight In
the country is now being planned.
when the directors of the National
Packing Company decide upon the
price to be paid for cattle, that settles
it for all of the houses" is the informa-
ton that has come into the hands OF
the government.
All of the other corporations of the
country, with few unimportant ex'
ceptions, bow to the wishes of the ten
leaders of the food market OF the
world.

Shortage of. Cars Begins.

Denver-Because of shortage OF
cattle cars live stock is being shipped
into Denver from eastern Colorado in
box-oars. During the past few days
several carloads have arrived at the
stock yards in this way.
The railroads are already complain
ing that they are having difficulty in
supplying all the cars demanded.
When the heavy shipments of coal
commence. which will occur in ten
days or two weeks, the railways will
be unable to supply all the cars re-
quired, and may have difficulty in NOV.
ing the shipments they receive.
Business in this state was never be-
fore so heavy at this time of year. The
fruit crop, although not as large as
last year, requires more than a thous-
and cars. The sugar beet crop will
commence moving just when the de
mand for coal will begin to be heard.
and the general shipments of the au-
tumn, which are always heavy, will
give the railroads more business than
they can handle.
One of the members of the Inter
state Commerce Commission is inves-
tigating the car shortage in other
parts of the country and will probably
come to Denver within the next month.
