ploy of a laundry, with the reputa-

Fighting
The Beef Trust To Abstain
From Eating Meat
Has Become A Popular Fad
In New York
And In Many Gases People
Have Signed Pledges
Angels Have Been known To
Fall From Grace
And Black Sheep Are PlGDti-
full In New York

New York, Feb. Fighting the.
Beef Trust by signing pledges to
abstain from eating meat for GER
tain period, usually one month, has
become a popular fad in New York.
OF course in most cases these pledg-
es are not to be taken seriously, but
there is no doubt that many thou
sands of persons, with or without
pledges, are abstaining from eating
meat at present and their number
is steadily increasing. So far the ef-
feet is felt but slightly by the butch
ers and other purveyors of meats
In the aristocratlc sections of the
city, but by those in the poorer quar-
ters and by tho wholesale dealers,
supplying the smaller restaurants,
the diminished demand is quite
plainly noticed Judging from re-
ports published in the daily papers
this boycott against the meat trust
is carried on in many large cities
throughout the country. 1t Is not
quite clear, however, how the con-
sumers expect to bring the trust to
terms by abstaining from eating meat
for month or even year. The
sudden falling off in the demand for
fresh meat may cause a temporary
inconvenience, perhaps some triliing
loss to the trust, but its business is
too well organized to be seriously
affected by even a considerable de-
cline in the sales of fresh meat. The
meat that cannot be sold will simply
be canned or otherwise embalmed
and sold in this form either In the
United States or in foreign countries
where the trust has established Its
markets. To make up for any loss
the wages of the trust employees will
probably be cut and, when the tide
turns and the abstainers become dred
OF their vegetarian diet, matters will
be just as they were before, II not
worse. 1t Is considered extremely
doubtful that the trust will react
upon this protest movement by re-
ducing the meat prices.
