aided Lower Food Prices.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, has blanketed all
enthusiasm over the lower food prices
by announcing that it was merely a
trick of the Especial interests" to get
better hold on the market.
"The interests which manipulated
the prices" he said, have temporar-
lily released their hold on our threats
for the purpose of getting a fresher
grip. The so called reduction in
meats is fictitious. 1t is merely a de-
iberate manipulation of the market.
The prices were fictitious when they
reached the top notch, but they were
arbitrarily forced to that high level
by the interests.
1.-The reduction is not a reduction in
fact.
IF there is a reduction at this par
ticular time it is far from being per-
manent. The interests which con-
trolled the market year ago and
forced prices of meat up to an abnor-
NAL level are still in control. 1t is
impossible to believe they have sud-
denly become philanthropic and de-
cided to give the people a square

CUT IN PRICES
Think Packers Would Curry
Favor With Public.

Assert Shopmen Are Completely at
the Mercy of the Beef Trust and
Have No Faith in Recent Published
Interviews-Dr. Wiley, Government
Food Expert, Declares So Called
Lower Prices Are Merely a Trick Of
the interests.
Chicago, Nov. 18.-"All this talk of
reduced prices for meats has no foun-
dation in fact. The big packers,
alarmed by impending federal prose.
cutions, are trying to curry favor with
the public and to make the retailer
the goat in the whole affair.""
This is the explanation of the Unit
ed Master Butchers of Chicago of the
interviews recently given out by J.
Ogden Armour and other beef bar
ons," in which the assertion was made
that meat prices were on the toboggan
and that the consumer would soon find
it cheaper to eat porterhouse steak
than to go hungry.
IF we can be assured by the pack
ers," said the master butchers, as
sembled in regular meeting, mot in
newspaper interviews, but by signed
contracts, that they will reduce the
price OF meats to a certain amount
and keep them reduced for, say, three
months, we will be glad to make cor
responding reductions to our custom
ers."
There is no doubt the retail butch
ers Of Chicago are angry. At the meet
ing tales OF alleged impositions by the
packers were frequent.
Say They Are Helpless.
1--WE are helpless" said Vice Presi.
dent Edward Levy of the butchers
1--WE don't make big profits. They
say: why you pay 127a cents for
lamb and charge Is cents
But what do we charge rs cents
for? For six pounds of chops that
come out of forty-pound lamb. All
the other cuts are lower and if we
make so cents on lamb that costs IS
we are lucky. You must remember
that the packers make their own terms
when they sell to us. We pay 1914
cents per pound not only for the al
most unstable TANKS and for the
worthless plucks, the liver, lungs and
heart. And lots of times we get stuck
worse than that"
The butchers are unanimous in say
ing that meat prices are appreciably
lower than they were at this time
last year, but object to the packers
giving out the idea that heavy price
cuts are to be expected either at
once or in the near future.

SHE STARVES
IN A HORR|O
H0VEl

Mrs. Mary Thompson, past 30
years Of age, wrinkled and emaci-
ated, suffering from goitre and an
abscess on one Of her lower limbs,
Is not finding the closing days Of
her life pleasant.
A reporter for The Press found
her at the place she makes her
home, at 1870 Napa street, yesterday
afternoon In feeble condition, due
TO lack of food and care.
Mentally the woman is exception
ally bright and as she told the story
of her life, while betraying a little
worry over her present condition.
she showed no disposition to blame
any one.
Being unable to do much for her
self, the premises have fallen into
disorder. but the evidences Of past
neatness are to be seen on every
hand
But the sad feature of the case is
that IN this land of plenty woman
who has lived for more than four
score years should be allowed to
starve to death.
The neighbors have been kind to
Mrs. Thompson. But none in the
vicinity are any too heavily en-
dowed with the worlds goods and
as all have families to look after
they can do little to alleviate her
sufferings.
There were no provisions Of any
kind in the house yesterday after
noon at o'clock but The Press ar
ranged to see that she was looked
after until today.
She has son past so years of
age, bat he is out in the country
somewhere with another man buy
ing junk. He left over two weeks
ago and she does not know when he
will return. The son is cripple
and he worked as a bootblack until
the ordinance was passed ordering
bootblack stands off the street. He
was too poor to rent place in
which to do business, so he moved
his stand out to the corner of Napa
and Sprague. But business was
slack in that vicinity and he sought
| for something else.
Three weeks Cgo a book agent
met the son and convinced him that
| he might do something in that line.
The agent agreed to furnish a sam
pie outfit for 81. Mother and son
| managed to scrape up that sum,
| but it took the last cent they had In
| the house. The agent was to re.
turn the next day with the sam
| pie, but he never came back.
Mrs. Thompson has been married
three times. but her last husband
died in Minnesota about 20 years
ago. She came hero with her son
from st. Cloud, Minn,, 10 years ago.
| When the attention of the Asso-
ciated Charities was drawn TO the
condition of Mrs. Thompson by
The Press arrangements were ar
once made to temporarily care for
her.

H|GHC0ST Of
LIVING HAS
SLUMP
RETAILERS ANNOUNCE REDUC-
TON IN PRICES IN FOOD
STUFFS.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, April 21.-Mr. Con-
sumer Is happy today because the
high cost of living has taken a
slump. The retailers have an
nounced reductions in the prices Of
foodstuffs.
Until today, although the whole
saIers have announced reduced
prices, the retailers have kept the
price at the same old high water
marke. The average citizen was
not affected by the reduction OF
the wholesalers. The action of the
wholesalers, in explaining that
there had been a drop in prices,
helped force the retailers to put
marked down tickets on the stuff
that goes on the table.
Here are some sample reduc-
tons:
Flour reduced IL cents; beans
reduced Is cents a bushel: potatoes
reduced 80 cents per barrel; eggs,
so per cent lower than six weeks
ago; barley off 9 cents per bushel;
oats and oats products Is per cent
lower.
Canned goods reduced nearly
one-third.
The inrush Of fresh vegetables
and fruits has helped crumple re
tailers prices. The wholesalers
say that the fresh greenstuffa
have been pouring into the market
so rapidly that the prices for new
stuff is almost as low as that of
canned goods.
And there is more good news for
the ultimate consumer"
The price of salted meats of
every description will drop before
the end of the week.
The reduction in the price of salt
pork will amount to $l05 per bar
rel, as announced by the agents of
the trust here.
1t is reported that spectators
throughout the country were
caught long on pork and similar
products and are very heavy losers.
