 Talk About High Prices
Wide Difference of Opinion Among Them to Causes of Sit uation- Birmingham Intensely Interested in Agita-
 ton Which Is Stirring Whole Country

The crusade against the high prices of meats which appears to be spreading over the whole country Is attracting unusual attention in Birmingham. While 1t is pointed out the price of meat Is not higher here than in other cities, it has in- creased in price until it has added an ele- ment of seriousness to the question of liv- ing. especially to the man of moderate means.
 Opinions as to the cause of the high prices are varied. Retail butchers and market men are especially interested in the question. John E. Hill, who con- ducts large place at the city market, places the whole blame on the high price of feedstuffs
 '.It Is all a matter of the cost of feed for cattle and hogs" he said yes- terday "Corn and oats are double the price they brought a few years ago and it Is natural that the stock which is fed on these products should be higher. It takes three yearse to get cattle ready for the market and if you feed them on corn for this length of time at the present prices you can easily see that the cost would be enormous.
 'I know there is tendency to lay the whole blame on the meat trust, but this Is wrong. While the trust may be partially to blame, 1t is only incidentally so. have been in all departments of the meat business for nearly 70 years and know just what 1t costs to raise cattle and what 1t costs to get the meat to the consumer, and I tell you the high price of feed is at the bottom of the whole trouble and meat will continue high un- til the price of these commodities goes down."
 Ben Holzer of the Holzer market Is more inclined to place the blame on the trust. "It Is the meat trust that is at the bottom of the whole trouble" he said, "and the retailer is helpless. There was a time when the retailer could go from one wholesaler to another and shave prices but that time is past. It is now the same at every place you go. Even the local packers are afraid to cut prices which are fixed by the trust, because they find themselves in such hot water that 1t takes them long time to get over 1t.
 'In former days when meat became too high a man could live on poultry and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-23

eggs until prices came down. The meat trust now dictates not only the prices of meats. but also of poultry, eggs, cheese butter and all similar products. The trust men can keep eggs, poultry and meats in cold storage for months and months and dole them out as the demand arises.
 Another outrage is the prevalence of short weights. Every retailer will tell you that his stuff comes short weight For instance, on compound order 1t is always half a poung short at least and with the average maintained 1t amounts to a large figure with a man who is do- ing a big business. We are supposed to have scale inspectors in Birmingham, but they do not attend to their business Short weights are a big factor with the retailer who is trying to do an honest bus mess"
 A. B. Well, manager of the White Star market, thinks the present prices are due entirely to natural causes. Cattle are scafce and hard to get," he said we have a place in ~Gadsden and do our own killing up there. It is almost impossible to get enough cattle to supply the demand and we have to ship packed meat from here to Gadsden very frequently. It Is natural that meat prices should fiuctu- ate with the price of feed. Of course, 1t is an endless chain affair. The whole saler planes the cattleman the cattle man planes the feed dealer and the feed dealer planes the farmer for raising so little grain as to keep prices up, so there you are.
 But in considering the price of meats people should remember that everything Is higher. It Is not meats alone, but you cannot name a single line of busi- ness where prices are not much higher now than they were a few years ago. was formerly in the carpet and drapery business and even in those lines prices are way out of sight now to what they used to be. So that if meat prices need some regulating there are other things which also need some regulating.
 ''It must also be remembered that Bir- mingham is a great city for credit busi- ness and prices are necessarily 6 little higher where the dealer has to keep his money tied up, than they would be on a strictly cash basis.'

 While Captain White has not made formal statement, he does not deny that he is considering making the race. It is generally believed that he will be able to rally to his support strong following.
 It is now considered certainty. too, that Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa will not make the race for governor or for lieutenant governor. He stated positively

Chairman Percy Talks.

''The Y. M. C. A. campaign is going to arouse a civic spirit that has been sadly lacking in Birmingham" said Walker Percy, general counsel for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and chairman of the citizens committee, after he had attended the noon meeting yester- day. "Of course 1t Is going to succeed and I hope that 1t will be followed by campaign for the r. W. c. A., which or ganlzation is in great need of proper quarters to carry on its work for the young women of the city.
 Hitherto the development in Birming ham has been largely the progress of the individual, each one looking after his own interests primarily because there has not been the concerted action necessary to bring the business men together. We have just as good raw material in men for organization as we have In ore. and all that is required Is to follow the ex- ample set by the big movement now on here and maintain and develop the civic spirit aroused. The campaign will mean much to the city. The plan Is wonder. and so is MT. Ward, who is engineer
 
 ing it.
 "I never saw such a representative body of the citizens of Birmingham as was as- sembled at the Y. M. c. A. headquar- ters today. I regret that enforced ab- sence from the city prevented me from attending the other noon meetings but hope to enjoy the opportunity of being on hand next week. The movement ought to be supported as a good business propo- sition, if for no other reason, for it Is going to give us a better Birmingham, and that is what I am most interested ina better Birmingham"
 A number of voluntary contributions were received at headquarters yester- day. Two of them were from E. K. Lynch and J. c. Bishop, telegraph opera tors. who visited headquarters in the afternoon to sign pledge cards. MT. Bishop remarked that he thought that the Y. M c. A. was one of the best or ganization in the United States, and that he wanted to have share in it's great work of the future in Birmingham.

POLICE CHIEFS EXPECTED

Chief Bodeker has heard no reply from the telegram he sent to President Syl- yeeter of the International Association of Police Chiefs. inviting the chiefs to hold their convention here in May, but he is very confident that the invitation will be accepted
 The fact that Birmingham has the op- portunity to land this convention. which will be one of the largest to be held in the country, has stirred up interest to a surprising degree Many prominent men have voluntarily told Chief Bodeker that they would do anything possible to land 1t for Birmingham, while the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Mems league have given assurance that they would stand by the proposition they made when the invitation was extended at the con- vention last May for the association to meet in Birmingham in 1910.

Practically every chief who attends tha convention will bring some of the fem- mine members of his family with him. and this will result in many social cour- tesies- Chief Bodeker estimates that it will cost about 5000 to properly enter tain the visitors. AS the visitors them selves would leave some s25.00o or ;so.0o0 at least behind them 1t Is not anticipated that there would be any trouble in rais- ing enough money to defray the enter tainment expenses. This added to the fact that every portion of the United States and Canada, and also a few for eign countries, would be represented, and that reports Of the convention and inter views with every delegate in reference to Birmingham would appear in their va rious home papers would advertise Bir- mingham to an extent which could hardly be secured in any other way.
