Beef Packers Throughout the
Country, Becoming Anxious,
Push Prices Up.
BUTTER FAMINE THREATENED
Sixteen Big Manufacturers Say Higher
Freight Rates Will Result
in Famine.

e York. June 10.-Beef packers.
throughout the United States. and es-
pecially in this section of the coun-
try. are becoming alarmed ove the
great shortage in beef supply. Since
last week the price has risen from |
TO , cents on the 100 pounds and the
price is now around one-third greater
than it was the first part of June.
1907. The sharp rise in prices is said
to be due entirely to the shortage in
the supply of cattle in the marker.
and already there is talk of being
forced TO have beef which was export
ed TO England last winter shipped
back to this country in cold storage.
Chicago. June 9. - 1t was
ed yesterday by the Chicago packers
that because of a shortage of cattle
and of canned meats the price of beef
and of canned meats will be increas-
ed The increase will be between
! and 2 cents a pound.
Butter Famine Next.
Sixteen of the largest manufactur-
ers of butter i'm the United States will
open tttil HSnl against ult pIopoStN
advance of freight rates on cream
and milk before the interstate com
MERGE commission next Wednesday.
The average increase in tariffs is
from SO % TO 100 per cent. A butter
famine is promised should their fight
fail.
The butter manufacturers say they
see no alternative other than TO stop
business. The margin Of profit. they
say. is less than one-half a cen per
pound net. 4 disturbance of the
rates that have been in effect for fif-
teen years, il is alleged. not only

FOUL AIR FATAL TO SIX MINERS
Eight Others in Dangerous Conditios
As Result of Breathing
Poison Air.

Silverton, Colo, June Six men
are dead. eight others In a dangerous
condition from breathing foul air and
twenty-five to thirty more temporarily
confined TO their homes from weak
ness due to contact with poisoned air
in the Gold King mine, located at
Gladstone.
On Thursday night fire was discov-
cred in the engine of the mine,
and before it could be brought under
control had destroyed that building
as well as the shaft house.
Go to Rescue Of Comrades.
The two buildings were located near
the portal doors of the main shaft,
and to prevent the spread Of the
flames and accumulation Of smoke in
the workings of the mine. these doors
were closed temporarily. The men
working the night shift in the mine
were hurriedly notified of conditions
on the surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been
extinguished the list was checked
owe and discovery was then made
that three men were missing. Imme-
diately efforts to rescue them were
made. The first men to enter The
mine returned in haste and informed
those in waiting that the mine was
filled with foul air. Two rescue par
ties were formed and the men started
into the mine in groups of FIVE.
Rescuers Succumb.
The air generated by the motion OF
the elevator had cleared the atmos-
phere in the elevator shaft, SO that
but little discomfort was experienced
there. Soon after a score or more Of
rescuers had entered the mine, some
of those first in appeared at the foot
of the elevator shaft. carrying the IN
conscious forms of rescuers who had
~succumbed to the noxiOus air. Later
a party reached the surface brin sing
the dead body Of Victor Erickson and
the almost lifeless bodies OF John
Sumston and Otto Johnson, the three
men whose absence caused the neces-
sity for rescue work. Others who
persisted or were injured were Of the
rescue party.
