CHICAGO, Feb. Awhile the
American people are engaged in a
mighty meat strike to force down
the increased cost of living, there
is locked up in the beef trusts cold
storage plants enough food to feed
every man, woman and child in the
United States for months.
This tremendous food hoard is
valued at $3,000,000,000. Tons OF
meat and other necessaries have
been accommodating in the strong
holds of the robber food barons
for two. sometimes three years.
The Chicago packing trust and
its affiliated trusts in every cor

this frozen mountain of food in

PRODUCER,
RETAILER,
CONSUMER

There must be something radi-
caliy wrong with the retail milk
business in Spokane that it can not
be handled for a smaller marqin
than that which now exists be-
tween what is received by the pro-
ducer and paid by the consumer.
There is either a combination to
obtain abnormal profits. or else the
retail milk business must be one
Of the most expensive to carry on
of any other line that deals in food
supplies.
The milk that the consumer
pays I'LL cents per quart is
bought from the producer at the
ranch for 3la cents per quart. Be.
tween the producer and the CON
sumner is a margin of nearly 200
per cent, which is considered by
those that have given the matter
serious attention too wide a differ
ence.
Where the producer places the
milk T. o. b. cars at his closest rail
road station he is paid at the rate
of 1512 cents per gallon. The Spo-
kane milk retailer realizes l6 l.3
cents gross profit on milk bought
at the 20 cents per gallon price, or
80 per cent. On that bought at IS
cents gross profit of 100 per cent
is realized.
The Gill cent price. or II
quarts for 81, is the lowest price
given by the Big Four" the
charge going higher where the
patron buys only a pint at a time,
A single quart is 10 cents.
KICK FROM PRODUCERS.
There is a serious kick from the
milk producer, who says that the
Spokane middlemen are getting all
there is in it. Feed must certainly
be bought at the bottom prices, and
labor cheap to make much at the
price of IA cents per gallon. The
producers that live on the edge of
the city and deliver their product
at the Spokane creameries for the
Is or 20 cent per gallon price fare
hauling charges that otherwise go
to the railroads.
