They Declare 1t Is a Misdirected
Movement That Is Defeat
ing Its Own Purpose.
TAKE TARIFF OFF LIVESTOCK.
That Is Their Remedy and They De-
mand That Government Take
Steps to That End.

New York, January 29.-The United
Master Butchers OF America in a
statement given out here today. decry
the meat boycott as "misdirected en-
ergy which Is defeating It's own end"
The statement urges the removal of
the tarifT an oil livestock. 1t says in
part:
1T is not the packer who receives
the most severe blow from this boycott
but the retail butcher. the man who
must earn his living and support his
family through the sale OF meat. Why
not go to the root Of the evil; why
not seek the cause of the disease?
High meat prices are due mostly to
the great scarcity of live cattle. Then
the government exacts a tariff on live
stock, shutting out outside sources of
supply. Therefore we demand in the
name of the great American consum-
Ing public that the federal government
take immediate stops to have the duty
on all live stock removed"
mile square section of New York's
uptown residential district is placardeCi
today with $4,000 posters appealing for
the boycott on meat, In large type at
the top of tho posters is the caption,
Eat no meat" The posters are nailed
to trees along broadway, Central park
and Riverside drive. pasted to the out
Side OF saloons and stores and hung in
the windows of private houses. Even
few butcher shops have fallen into
line and are displaying the signs.
The posters were put up by the West
Side Anti-meat league. They ask
residents to abstain from eating meat
for 80 duys after January 81
The Central Federated union has
