EXPLAINS WHY

Cudahy Gives Credit TO Bumper
Corn Crop.
INDUCES FEEDING OF CATTLE

Member Of Omaha Firm Scouts Idea
That Packers Can Control Cost OF
Meat Products-Says Decline Has
just Reached Consumer and Pre-
diets Further Reductions, but Do
cllnes to Say How Far It viii Go
Before Being Checked.
Omaha. Neb, Nov. 16.-Edward
Cudahy of the Cudahy Packing com
pany announces that the tide has al
last turned and that meat prices are
on the down grade.
In an interview he said: Really.
prices have been on the down grade
for months, but not to an appreci-
able extent. The decrease has just
reached the consumer. think prices
will go still lower, but am not In
clined to state just how much fur
ther the c. will extend.
"Primari.J the decrease In prices
Is due to the great corn, crop pro-
duced all over the United States and,
In fact, in other countries also. The
big crop in Europe reduces the
amount to be exported from America
leaving more corn for local consump-
tion. This has lowered the price Of
corn. and farmers think they can
make more money by feeding grain.
For this reason there will be more
cattle and hogs fed in the west this
winter than for several years.
"If the packers could make tho
prices they could keep them there"
declared Mr.. Cudahy. ut Is simply
a question of supply and demand"

One more local employment
shark received a still little Jolt,
when the management ofgthe West
ern Employment agency at 222
Washington street, was compelled
to pay $50 to Charles Hallway, who
had been sent out by the agency
on one of the fake Oroville jobs
which have been so promiscoussy
peddled by Spokane's employment
agents of late.
Hadley was sent to Oroville to
work for J. ]. Nelson, contractor
on the Great Northern railway, and
arriving there had to pay 81 fare
In order to reach the Nelson camp.
At the camp he was told that there
was nothing doing, and the fore
man refused to sign his ticket.
After staying around the camp
for two days., he paid his way back
to Spokane, and demanded of the
Western Employment people repay
ment of his fee, his expenses on
the trip, and salary for the time he
was occupied in finding out that
the job was fake. This he fig
ured to amount to total Of $50.
The management of the agency
refused at first to pay anything.
