Buys in This Section.

Mr.. Brown. who was the first witness,
testified that he bought most of the meat
he sold as live cattle from farms i'll this
section of the country, killed the cattle
III his own abattor and prepared the
meat for sale.
In Your case, then. You are the only
one between the producer and the con-
sumer?" he was asked.
Yes
How do the prices you are now selling
meats at compare with the prices during
a series of years." Mr.. Brown was asked
later.
They are just about the same as five
years ago. he replied.
The witness made an exception of pork.
however. explaining that it is higher now
than for many wears. The prices which
the witness said prevail today are: Roas st
beef, - cents d pound; chickens. 90 to
- cents; best sirloin steak, - cents.
lamb chops, 80 cents; rib lamb chops. 30
cents; salt pork, Is cents; country sau-
sage, 20 cents, roast lamb, % cents.
Cook Asked Rake-Of.
Senator Gallinger explained to the wit
ness that he was told that buffers and
cooks who make purchases for house
holds demand a rake-off; and he asked
the witness if the information were tue.
The name of Lady Pauncefote. wife OF
the former British ambassador from
Great Britain, was brought into the hear
ing by Mr.. Brown. He said that new
cook was, at one time. employed at the
embassy, and the cook told him he de-
sired a rake-off of IN per cent on all pur-
chases from Mr.. Brown. The meat dealer
refused to grant the discount. and short
time later Lady Pauncefote complained OF
the character of the meats served at the
embassy dinner table. Mr.. Brown eX-
planned to her what the cook had de-
manded. and added that the cook was
probably spelling the meats III the
kitchen.
"She told me afterward she telegra phed
to New York for a new cook, concluded
the witness
How do all the dealers arrange the
prices practically the same!' Senator
Smoot asked the witness.
No Agreement on Prices.
'All sell as low as they can" Mr.,
Brown explained.
There is no agreement as TO prices?"
NO sir
Senator Simmons, the only democratic
member of the committee who was pres
ent. made an inquiry into the prices of
the retailers of meat who bought their
supplies from the big meat packers of
Chicago. He was told the prices were
about the same.
You say most OF the meats you sell
are bought in the vicinity of Washing
ton. You say your neighbor buys from
Armour, who must pay the transporta-
ton charges from the west Why can't
you sell cheaper than your neighbour
Il couldn't sell my meats any cheap
err replied the dealer.
Why"
Because the western packers make use
Of the by-productS which we throw
away" explained the witness. He ven
tured the opinion that the western pack
ers, through the profits they make on
the by-products. could undersell in the
Washington market the dealer who buys
his meat from the ia rms in this section.
Then | gather from your testimony
that there has been an unjustified clamor
on the part of the public that there ha :
been an increase in the cost of meat?"
inquired Senator McCumber.

Sides Of Question.

A hearing was held today by the

the headquarters of the District commit
tee All of the members of the District
committee were on hand. They will vote
on the Johnson bill tomorrow.
At today's hearing those favoring the
bill insisted that 1t was not In the IN
terest of the observance of Sunday from
religious standpoint. Those opposed
to the measure insisted that it was.
Rev. DR.. Radcliffe was the principal
advocate Of the bill at today's hearing.
Simon Wolf led the opposition.
DR.. Radcliffe's Argument.
DR.. Radcliffe said he appeared not as
representative of the clergy but as
the representative Of large and COM
prehensive committee, who did not urge
the Johnson bill in a religious sense.

that has the right to be protected in its
worship. The large and overwhelming
majority of good citizens of the District
favor the Johnson bill.
DR.. Radcliffe. referring to the necessity
of law prohibiting labor on Sunday, re-
ferred to the fact that the, worship of his
congre cation had been repeatedly inter
fered with by the rude noises incident to
building work. Complaint to the police
had failed to check the nuisance, he said.

Radcliffe, land they said they didn't
want to work on the Sabbath, but were
forced to do So
DR.. Radcliffe also complained that the

their tracks on Sunday. He made pro-

Hard to Estimate Strikers.

Although it is now three days since the
general strike order of all union workers
in sympathy with the fight of the trolley
mems union against the Rapid Transit
Company went into effect, 1t is still i'm
possible to accurately state the strength
of the movement. Widely divergent
claims continue to be made by both sides
in the controversy.
The union leaders say that the 125, 900
workers they had anticipated would walk
out are all on strike and have been Joined
by ar least 10000 men and women who
heretofore were unorganized. The lead
ers say they have been so busily engaged
In organizing these recruits to the cause
OF trade unionism that they have not had
time 10 compile any table or other data
showing exactly the number affected in
each line of industry.
The police authorities, on the other
hand. state that a careful compilation OF
the reports of a thorough canvass shows
less than 2OO0O on strike. The police

Union Labor to Proselyte.

Labor leaders intend to seize the pres
emf opportunity TO further organize the
workmen OF the city. Philadelphia has
always been known among labor people az
a "non-union town. and pans arc being
laid TO strengthen the cause OF unionism
here.
The first step along this line was taken
in telegram to Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the American Federation of Laoor
at Washington. The union leaders asked
that instructions be given to international
unions to- give the Philadelphia union mer
cooperation and to send every available
organizer possible 10 this city.
Secretary Morrison replied that he Will
arrange to have general organizers al
once take up organization work in Phila-
delphia.
lne sympathetic strike has threatened
new contesI-a fight for the open
shop" by employers who have had work
ing agreements with unions. When the
strike was called many unions were
working under hard-won trade agree
ments, and some of them hesitated about
soing out in sympathy with the trolley
men, because it endangered the life OF
these trade contracts.

Hope for Peace Efforts.

All Philadelphia hopes that the city
wide movement begun yesterday by the
United Business Mems Association &c
brin.; TO quick end the great labor con-
nict that has kept the City OF Brotherly
Love in a turmoil for more than two
weeks, will meet with more success thar
the effort made last week by the same
body of men.
This organization asked the Philadel-
phia. Rapid Transit Company and Mayor
Reyburn 10 arbitrate the difference ex-
istlng between the company and the men
but was given no satisfaction. Now this
ass citation, which includes practically
every business man of any standing ir
Philadelphia. will enlarge It's movement
by taking in other organizations that
stand for the progress of Philadelphia
and will make a united attack on the war
ring element i'll the interest of peace and
the general welfare of the city.
Business, especially in the central part
of the city. has suffered TO an extent no,
known in years. 1t is feared that the
heavy spring and Easter trade will be
seriously disturbed If an end Is not soor
brought to the industrial war.
