Is a beef trust" in Spokane, yet
Rev. Wilson said that some power
seemed to dominate prices here,
causing the consumers to pay un-
necessarily high prices.
Rev. Wilson suggested as the
remedy the need of electing honest
men to office to frame laws to pro-
tect the people. He cited the case
of some legislation in congress
wherein a majority of the senators
were found opposed to some need
ed legislation for the protection of
the food supply, because one food
interest or another dominated the
senators.
"A meat abstinence crusade is
useless" said the speaker IF we
were all to refrain from the use of
meat today We have no assurance
that 10 years hence the packers
would not take from cold storage

the keep, with the cost of formalde-

So it is better to consume the meat

DISMISSED SUIT
WITH LECTURE.

Judge w. A. Huneke dismissed
the Wiese divorce suit this morn
ing with a severe lecture to the old
couple on the impossibility of rear
ing children properly where the
parents are forever quarreling over
trifles.
Ludwig Wiese stated at the con-
clusion of the trial that he was
willing to live with his wife again
and the couple will probably follow
the advice of the court and endeav-
or to provide home for their four
minor children.

men, all of which are affiliated with

strikers will not return to work
