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
deplorcd the attacks on the Beef Trust
because they were Just US guilty them
sel;es.
~eA
The Beef Trust can poison the pro.
pie; the railroad trusts slaughter the
people and the theatrical trust roast
the people. But the Milk Fed Press
views the situation with complacsncy
because Of Milk Fed ads. trnnsporta'
ton courtesles 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 fabulousiy low figures, should bs
looked after by the police. There are
too many Of them at large In Chicago
to-day.
The Reef Trust mas caused q BIZ
raise In the price Of shoes. The al
legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market. which Con
gress closed practically for the bench
Of the beef trust by clapping duty o.
10 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 tho beef trust ike
now the cost Of the leather, the raw
material out Of which shoes are made
and hence II controls both the price
OF shoes In the domestic market an,
In the export shoe trade, built up II
great expense by our shoe manufac
turers.
Furthermore, II Ii common knowl
edge that the domestic price Of butter
eggs, butterine, dressed poultry, tn
grains. fruits, vegetables, apples, pota
toes and probably other foods is regu
lated largely by the same trust of col
pOratiOns.
This Is logical and unavoidable n
present. 1t Ia due In part to specia
privileges OF lower rates In the shil
ping. private refrigerator lines, In
mense grain elevators and cOld-storag
plants scattered ut the strategic point
and in part, no doubt, to the slee
brutal force OF unlimited millions q
dollars; a power welded by few pei
sons whom society does not hold pei
sOnally responsible at present,
