VIOLATES SMOKE
ORDINANCE; FINED
Court Loses Patience With Grand
Trunk Railway and Assesses
Road 500.

The Grand Trunk railroad was hned
sl00 by Judge Connolly, Tuesday
morning. for violating the smoke or
dinance by allowing its locomotives 10
emit dense smoke In the vicinity or
Jofferson-ave. The company is the
first victim OF Smoke Inspector Fair
grieye's latest campaign against the
smoke nuisance, which is being prose-
cuted with vigor Judge Connolly. In
imposing the fine, suggested TO the
railroad company as means Of abat-
ing The smoke nuisance, the adoption
of electric engines for use within the
city limits
my recollection OF the trouble be
tween the smoke Inspector and the
Grand Trunk railway" said the court,
extends back 40 far as 1906. when
the railroads counsel gave the court
profuse assurances that the smoke
caused by the engines in the neigh
borhOod of Jefferson-ave,, would be
abated as soon as the round house
hwas removed 20 Milwaukee Junction.
We postponed action so that the com
pany might have a chance TO effect
this removal.
The citizens in the vicinity OF JET
ferson-ave, and DeQuiudre-st., have
made frequent complaints 10 the
smoke inspector and 10 the court with
: reference 10 smoke conditions. Their
curtains, carpets and furniture have
/ been ruined by SCOT. cinders and

Pointing Meat Prices Is Packers Neat
Scheme For Big Rise Little Later On

Another seven-day sensation has run
fits course and the country is eating
meat again. Laboring men have
awakened to the realization that good
meat is a useful article OF diet and
they have decided that it is bad policy
to starve ones stomach, even to spite
the greedy meat trust. The Labor
unions Of Detroit showed splendid
judgment by refusing to indorse the
most senseless and unreasonable un-
dertaking which has ever asked FOR
tho support of the laboring classes.
The battlecry Of the eat-nomeat army
was down With the Packers" The
sbeurdity OF the undertaking becomes
apparent when IL is realized that there
is absolutely no possibility OF reach
ing the packer with any retaliatory
measures which the consuming public
may see ut 10 inHtitute. The packer Is
q middleman IL ne strictest sense OF
the word. II the wholesale price
goes down he Immediately reduces the
price which he pays the producer.
Every blow aimed at the meat trust
by the consumer misses the mark and
hits the farmer with full force.
II is q fact that the packer prefers
q lower range Of prices than those
that have prevailed during the pas
six months, because experience has
taught him that high prices curtai
consumption and greatly reduce thu
volume OF the meat trade. The packe
cannot, in the very nature OF things
make a large profit on individual
sales; his profit on each transaction il
small and his only hope Of making
large profits is In the handling OF larg
quantities OF meat aud its by-products
II win be seen, then, that the recen
breaking Of market prices for live
stock and meat. which the boycott
army has cited as a sample OF "a
work. IL favorable TO packing hous'
interests rather than against them.
