OH YOU BEEF TRUST.
Uncle Sam VIII Now Do Things for
Awhile.

The "beef trust' of the United
States, embracing six great packing
companies and 2l packers, several of
them -millionaires, was indicted
by grand jury in Hudson county, New
Jersey, recently, charged with conspir-
aey in limiting the supply of meat and
poultry.
The indictment is drawn under the
law of New Jersey, which provides upon
conviction a maximum penalty of three
years in the penitentiary, a $1,000 fine
or both. The offense is extraditable
which means practically that the meat
barons either must successfully resist
extradition or come to Jersey City foi
trial.
Two weeks will be allowed the in
dicted directors of the National Pack
ing company in which to appear fol

Dime slot Machine Compnnxx

WoS the Involuntary Work of -
Dime Slot Machine Company.
The disappearance of the Scent
piece has for years been, matter OF
mild speculation. The New York Sun
says persons are aware that a large
proportion OF the coins OF this. denons-
ination which remained in circulation
when the government stopped Issuing
them are peaceably slumbering in
sundry large fat canvas bags in the
vaults of certain electrical manufac-
turing company of Chicago They arc
not for sale just yet.
Each of the coins Is an evidence OF
petty larceny.
Years ago the company equipped
many telephone pay stations with dime
slot machines. 1t was supposed thas
they could be worked only with dimes
The 3-cent pieces were becoming rare
and no thought was taken of them.
Hardly six months passed before ores
of the telephone companies discovered
that the collectors were yielding "a
harvest of Scent pieces. Then from
all over the country came similar conn
plants.
Each company forwarded the pieces
to the manufacturing company and
more or less politely asked that cor
responding number of dimes or a
check for an equivalent amount DO
sent back In exchange.
A council was held at the Office or
the manufacturing company. The cost
Of correcting the boxes was compared
with fairly trustworthy information
of the number of Scent pieces In cir
culation. 1t was found that a balance
was In favor of the 3 cents and it was
decided to accept the pieces as dimes
Gradually the inpour of Scent pieces
narrowed down to an intermittent
current. The company seemed to have
about all the pieces.
1t is said that IL ever the premium
on Scent pieces goes high enough the
coins will be offered to collectors at
prices based upon the original cost tc
the company, plus per cent year.
plus cost of storage, plus cost of guard
ing, plus cost of carrying the FUND
upon the books. Long ago the slot
machines that collected them were reA
