Especial Cable to Herald-RepuoLcah }
ONDON. April SO.-It is apparently
one Of the possibilities OF the I'M,
~ mediate future that England VIII
find the price of meat raised 10 some
thins approximating 10 the trust-ruled
rates of America
The Liverpool District Meat 1Iau LtIL.
association yesterday passed a resolu-
ton favoring increased retail prices
and affirming that unless higher rates
could be secured the butchers would
have TO face the bankruptcy court
John Lindsey. the president OF the
National Federation of Meat Traders
associations, confirmed this gloomy
prophecy
For three OF four months he says,
THE retail butchers have been making
practically no profit at all. Beef Is eN-
ceedingly scarce, the NUMBER OF catLe
arriving from America has fallen away
considerably, mutton is very dear, pork
is terribly high and supplies are likely
10 be shorter even than they are
Either we shall have TO get the gov
eminent 20 allow Argentine cattle 10
be landed here alive or prices VIII go
I'D enormously and the butchers viii
in many cases be ruined. For a long
time they refrained from increasing
the price of beef, living on the prOflT
of cheap mutton. Now all meat IS
dear, and supplies almost fnsiSnlfl-
cant
I'VE are trying 20 induce the prime
minister to receive a deputatiOn on the
matter I spent several hours in the
house of commons trying to influence
members and to get the government TO
remove the restrictions on Argentine
beasts But there are the Irish inter
estS. and they are allied with the ag-
ricultural representatives in the house
and are against US all the time. or
course they get better prices for their
store cattle by keeping out those from
other countries.
The Canadian cattle are kept out
also, and the only result Is that Amer
.u.zv.e knrr- col int n
the sta ties to finish them, and send
them here as American. At present
the Argentine farmers are at the mercy
of the trusts through whose hands
the meat has to pass for chilling, and
the same trusts TO a large extent con-
troll the British meat supply and
prices
Big Day for Suffragists.
May Is is to be a red letter day in
The suffragists' calendar Arrange
ments have already been started for a
monster procession of women, who, II
is said, are going 90 muster in mum berS
which viii strike terror into the soul
of any mere cabinet minister who re-
fuses to grant them their great desire.
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence said last
night that the procession would be at
least two miles long and would be the
biggest thing of its kind London has
ever seen.
Miss Craig, Ellen Terry's daughter,
is arranging the pageant part OF the
procession for the church, the writer's,
the ateliers' and the actresses branches
of the movement" MrA. Lawrence add
ed, and there viii be many represen-
Iations which should make the process
sion Wen worth seeing from a spectac-
ular standpoint alone.
we shall have forty bands all told,
and the procession Will be led by our
own drum and fife band in its pretty
uniform of purple, green and white"
Shakesperean Ball.
Certainly the most wonderful and
probably the most beautiful spectacle
Of its kind that has ever been wit
Ieessed, VIII be the great Shakes
pereaD fancy dress ball. which is to be
held at the Albert hail on June q. IN
