CAMPAIGN
ON MEATS
HASHELPED
PEOPLE KNOW MORE ABOUT
THE MEAT SITUATION
THAN EVER BEFORE
CHECKED PRICE RAISE

There have been good results
from the agitation in Spokane over
the high price Of meat. While
there was little effort on the part
Of the people In united move
against tho use Of meat, yet the
possibility Of getting along without
It was brought out In a more forci-
BILE manner than ever before, and
taught some housewives that good
meals can be prepared with mere
Of other things and less Of meat.
Another good point learned is
that by inquiry as to the different
cuts of meat it is possible by buy
ing some Of the less expensive
grades to get as good results for
the family table as if the high
priced cuts were used.
Probably the most salutary ef-
feet of the light turned on local
meat prices is the weight it has
had on retail prices. Just about the
time The Press began probing into
the meat situation the wholesalers
were on the eve of another raise
In the price of beef. The retail
price was already near the limit,
but the packers were of the opinion
that more money haG to come from
the retailers. Since then there
have been two advances in the
wholesale price Of beef of certain
grades, but not penny advance in
the retail price. The agitation has
had the effect of staying the hands
of the retailers for fear of arous-
Ing further public Indignation.
There has also been a reduction
in the price Of pork products. Ba.
con can now be bought as low as
19 cents, and from that to 25
cents per pound, according to the
quantity purchased and the market
in which 1t Is bought. Lard Is be.
ing sold as low as 1914 cents per
pound, while the bulk of the stores
and markets charge 10 and &c
cents

DENIES MOTION TO DISCHARGE
FLYNN JURY BECAUSE OF
PUGH INTERVIEW
PUCH GIVES VERSION
ARGUMENT BEFORE JURY
OPENS IN CONSPIRACY
TRIAL

Judge n. L. kennan overruIed
tho motion of the defense for the
discharge of the jury. Prosecutor
Pugh presented affidavits in which
he declared that he was not re-
sponsible for certain articles ap.
pearing in the morning paper re-
garding his fear that the jury
would be intimidated, and that the
interview was written as the re-
suit of private conference with
his deputies, at which the reporter
was present. The defense asked
and was granted an exception.
BLAIR OPENS FOR STATE
Denouncing c. L. Filigno as a
perjurer and Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn Jones as an arch-conspira-
tor, Assistant Corporation Counsel
John e. Blair opened the argument
for the state in the l. w. w. con-
spiracy cases this morning.
DENIES CRIMINAL INTENT
Before you can convict these
defendants" declared Attorney
Thomas j. Symmes in addressing
the jury, you must prove a GRIM
inal intent. In common violation
of ordinances, an intent must not
be proven, but in a criminal case,
the vicious will, the criminal in
tent, must be shown. These I. w.
WIS believed the street speaking
ordinance unconstitutional; they
believed that they were within
their constitutional rights; they
were fighting for a cause.
"The prosecution will tell you of
the Chicago anarchists, of the Hay
market riots, the anarchists of
Russia and other countries; but re-
member this, gentlemen of the
jury, AIT arrests were made during
the recent trouble here and not
man was guilty of violence"
Attorney Symmes' argument was
interrupted by the noon recess. At
1870 o'clock he recommended, to
be followed by Prosecutor Pugh
and Attorney Fred c. Moore.
The crowd which packed the
court room to hear the arguments
was warned by Judge Kennan that
unless that refrained from demon
of any kind the court
room would be cleared.

Figuring from facts secured from

presses his belief that the team
owners have understated instead of
overstated their case as regards to
the cost of horses and the expense
of keeping them. He shows by pop
ular statistics that while practically
every staple commodity, including
nearly every common article of
foodstuff which the common classes
consume, has advanced about 81 per
cent in price while the wages of
common laboring men have been
increased but 6 per cent. Since the
city does not use it's labor for the

"Sour stomach" or acid dyspepsia Is

in the mouth is the most common
symptom of acid dyspepsia; and the
saliva. which is noruially alkaline, is
found, when tested, to be changed to
acid, or just the opposite of, what II
should be, and is "a state OF the secre-

PLAN NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Anti-Food League Issues Statement to
the Public.


Washington, Jan. "a. A national
conference on the subject of food
prices was planned by the directors
of the newly organized Anti Food
Trust League. The league claims a
membership OF 10000 and hopes to
increase that number to a million. In.
vitations to attend the conference
will be extended to packers, manu-.
facturers of foods, organizations
which work for the uplift, women's
clubs and associations, labor unions,
etc. The date of the proposed con-
ference has not been fixed.
"An address to- the American peo-
Pile" was prepared and is in part as
follows:
THE National Anti-Food Trust
League stands for the American prin-
ciple of fair play. The league Is or
ganized in behalf of the consumer as
"a bulwark against excessive prices of
any staple food article"
The address concludes as follows:
1--WE are aiming to make the National
Anti-Food Trust League an organiza-
tion so vast, so extensive and SO pow
erful numerically that there will be
no need to interdict the mse of any
article of food but that the general
fear of such a general suspension and
its direful consequences will have the
effect of lowering prices and keeping
them down"
