Hiah Prices For Meat.

Srom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 One thing is apparent, the beef trust is still in business. The government got after it. The courts listened to a mass of testimony It was presumed that the antitrust law had laid it's hand upon the [ shoulders of the packers in a manner that would at least lead them to be cautious in what they should do in future. Well, perhaps they are cautious. Per hapS they have arrived at their agree ments in such secret manner as to leave no record but that they understand each other cannot be questioned The arbitrary increase in the price of meats is evidence enough that they are resorting to under hand methods.
 Apparently there is no reason for the exasperating increase other than the de- side of the packers to increase their for tunes For it Is the packers themselves who are doing this thing. It is useless for anyone to blame his butcher. The retailer is not al fault. The packer demands more money. The wholesalers command the sit uation. Let them increase their price and the retailer must find his profit in asking more from his customer. And this demand comes at a time, too, when many thousands are out of work.
 It Is all well enough for The Inquirer to argue that meat is not necessary to ex- istence; that as rule we all eat alto gether too much meat. It is all well enough, too, for us to advance the propo- sition that the best way to bring the wholesalers to their senses is to refuse o purchase meat at the prevailing high prices No doubt If q sufficient number of meat eaters would follow this course the market would drop, for even the wholesalers cannot thrive unless they can sell their wares. But that is not the point after all. The public wants meat, and it wants to purchase that meat at fair price and it has a right to expect that the government will force the meat trust to terms.
 It is serious problem. Interstate com merce law has gotten the railroads under very good control. The rebate is prac- tically an evil of the past. We are getting fair freight rates. But the meat trust ap- parently has only been scorched as yet. It is not under control. way must be found to do it.
