Thousands Boycott Meat
MASSES CLAMOR
FOR JUST PRICES
1CnntInued from Pnrs one,

ments from Milwaukee and Cleveland
that the price of meat had dropped.
In Milwaukee two retail butchers
quoted porterhouse steaks at 10 cents a
pound, "a sirloan at the same price and
other meats in proportion.
The wholesale price of beef fell off 10
cents a hundred pounds in Cleveland.
From Denver came the report that
Sam Dutton, president of the Western
Hotel Mems Protective association, an
nounced that the proposition of cutting
down the consumption of meat would
be brought before his organization at
a meeting to be held here January 81.
Boycott Meat
Dispatches from Baltimore, Milwau-
kee. Kansas City, Omaha, Memphis,
Pfttsburg and other cities told of the
rapid growth of the movement.
Cleveland, credited with being the
originator of the scheme, now has 10000
names enrolled in the crusade, while
Kansas City reports that it may soon
have $4,000.
The heads of the leading packing
houses of Kansas City and Chicago re-
fused to discuss the effect of the move
ment upon their business.
None of the heads of the local pack
ing houses would make any statement
today concerning the attitude their
companies would take on the country
wide movement toward meat boycott:
SO far there has been no concerted
movement on the part of local labor
organizers and other bodies to stop eat
ing meat. There appears to be a will
ingness to join in such a movement
when it is launched, however, and many
club women have expressed themselves
as in favor of such action.
Tags bearing the inscription mo
meat for mine until March T. are be-
ing worn by a few.

HAVE LITTLE HOPE OF
ADJUSTING DIFFERENCE
WITH STREET CAR MEN
PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-Al-
through more than 5000 motormen and
conductors of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company voted last Tuesday
in favor of a strike, the men are still
at their posts today and all of the
lines of the company are running on
their usual schedules.
c. o. Pratt, who has been author
ized by the executive committees of
both the local and natiopal body to
give the word which will put the pro-
posed strike into effect, is still hold
ing back. hoping that the threatened
trouble may yet be averted.
The last communication received by
the union men from the company
holds little hope for peaceful ending
of the trouble. The men assert that
the company is not carrying out the
agreement reached after the end of the
strike last June, and charge that they
are being Disseminated against in IA
vor of men of a new rival organiza-
ton.

IDLE JEST RESULTS
IN WIDESPREAD MOVE
AGAINST MEAT EATING

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 21.-From an
idle jest in the lunch room of a fac
tory here last week the Cleveland
strike against the eating of meat has
grown to huge proportions. 1t is said
100000 people in Cleveland have now
pledged themselves to abstain from
meat for thirty days. The Ohio legis-
lature has taken up the question and
a committee to investigate the cost of
meats will open it's session next week.
Since the inception of the strike
beef, lamb and pork have dropped in
price. Beef declined Is cents a hun
dred wholesale yesterday and lamb 10
cents today.
Ten thousand householders are re-
ported to have signed petitions against
eating eggs until the price has
dropped from As cents a dozen retail
to 25 cents
Retail butchers have been compelled
to cut down their working force from
one-third to one-half, and several have
retired from business.

PROBE WILL BE Put
INTO BEEF COMBINE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The "beef
trust" so-called, is to be prosecuted by
the national government The depart
ment of justice evidently believes its
existence is a leading factor in main
tanning the present high prices of fresh
meats.
The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an investigation that
has been conducted by the special
agents for some months. Initial pro
ceedings will be taken before the grand
Jury at Chicago, and may include both
civil and criminal actions.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift & Co
Morris & Co. and Armour & Co, all OF
whom, it is said, are interested in the
National Packing company. These three
firms are commonly reported to contro
the National company.
To Investigate Trust
The aim of the department has beer
to ascertain the relations between the
several firms, individually and with the
National Packing company, to deter
mine whether they have controlled the
prices OF fresh meats.
One possible method OF action may
be a suit to dissolve the company
under the Sherman antitrust law
operating in restraint of interstate
trade. Proceedings of individuals also
may result.
The Investigations conducted by the
department had their inception in ar
inquiry into the practices of a western
railroad, in making shipments fol
Morris & Co. These practices, it was
charged, amounted to rebating.
1t was decided that the practices were
improper, if they did not amount to re-
batting. They were discontinued.
On learning of the intended action OF
the department of justice, Alfred r
Urion, head of the legal department OF
Armour & Co., hurriedly left for Chi
cago. Mr.. Urion had been in Washing
ton more than a week, watching the de-
velopments in the proposed action, and
it is understood he had some confer
ences with the attorney general.

RAILROAD PICKED
FOR TEST OF WAGE
INCREASE DEMANDED

CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.-President w.
c. Lee of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen and Grand Chief A. b. Gar
retson Of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, will meet in the east Monday
to enter formally upon negotiations
that will determine the outcome of
the present dispute between the rail-
roads and their employees.
President Lee announced tonight be-
fore leaving for Chicago, that he has
already picked one railroad on which
will be made q test of the trainmen's
demands.
Owing to the fact that the replies re-
ceived are practically uniform, the two
brotherhood leaders believe that a set
tlement on one road will lead to a
similar adjustment on the others.
The real dispute, it is conceded, will
come on the question of payment to
the train crews for work done before
starting on the days run. The men
want pay from the time they report
for duty.
The statement of Chairman ]. c.
Stewart of the General Managers as
sociation, that wages undoubtedly will
be raised, was received with salts
faction at headquarters here.

ACCUSE CARDINAL OF
ATTACKING TEACHERS
Prelate Denies His Letter of Warning
to Catholics Against the Public
Schools Inspired by Po-
IticaI Considerations

RHEIMS, France, Jan. 1,-Cardinal
Lucion, archbishop of Rheims, appeared
before the bar in his own behalf today
at the continuation Of the suit institut-
ed against him by the public school
teachers, charging that in signing the
episcopal letter warning Catholic pa
rents against the public schools he had
designed to destroy the teachers au-
thority.
The cardinal read a statement in
which he denied the episcopal letter
had been inspired by political consid-
erations, adding:
Its sole purpose was to warn Catho-
lie parents of the danger to the faith
and the morals of their children in
Cured in the use of certain textbooks
and the method Of instruction in the
public schools.
ITO complain that the public schools
are becoming an instrument of dechric-
tianization does not constitute an at
tack on the political regime of France. ,"
The defendant denied that the bish-
OBS who signed the letter were enemies
of the teachers. In conclusion he eX-
pressed the conviction that the court
would recognize the church's right to
defend the faith publicly attacked.
"France," he said, will ratify this
Judgment, because it comprehends that
we are the real defenders of conscience
and the champions of its sacred liber-
ties +"

ANTELOPE DRIVEN TO
RANCHES BY STORM
Hungry Animals Refuse to Leave Hay
Stacks, Despite Attacks of
the Sheep Herd
erS

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Jan. 21.-Stock
men in this section are still alarmed
over the shortage of feed due to the
prolonged unfavorable weather. Heavy
losses are reported in some districts,
many sheep having died because the
owners could not get feed to them,
eight firms reporting losses aggregating
10000 head.
An additional cause for apprehension
is felt among the flock masters of the
Powder river country, about ninety
miles southeast of Sheridan, where 200
head of antelope suddenly appeared this
morning and took possession of the
ranch of John Cooper on the middle
fork of Powder river, between Kaycee
and Sussex.
They appeared nearly starved and ate
ravenously the feed sparingly provided
for sheep. Cooper and a number of
men sought to drive the antelope away,
but the hungry animals refused to
leave

RAILROADS EAST OF
MISSISSIPPI REFUSE
EMPLOYEES DEMANDS

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-GeneraI dis
cussion of the wage demands made by
the trainmen and conductors of the
railroads east of the Mississippi river
will now follow the tentative refusals
which have been made to the demands
by several of the eastern railroads.
The advances asked vary from 10 to
go per cent.
The Erie railroad this afternoon for
mally rejected the demands Of it's
trainmen and conductors for increased
wages.
The rejection of the demand followed
a friendly conference of the roads Off
cials and a committee of employees.
F'orty-one railroads have as yet to
act on the demands of their men, but
by an agreement they will reject them.
Conferences will follow the reflections.
Those roads which have found it in
convenient to meet their employees this
week will do so at the first opportunity.

RAILROAD MEN FORMULATE
PLAN TO GET PAY RAISED

CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.-Plans for ne
gotiating with the railway systems of
the eastern part of the United States
and Canada for a wage increase and
uniform working conditions were for
mulated at the headquarters of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
here today.
President w. G. Lee of the trainmen
said that substantially all the rail-
roads had been heard from, either
formally or informally with respect
to the proposition submitted by the
trainmen and Order of Railway Con-
ductors.
None granted any of the terms pro-
posed by the employees, but each has
expressed a willingness to negotiate a
settlement.

NT EW YORK, Jan. 21.-That the
~ United States is facing one of
~ the most serious crises in his
tory, the result of a tremendous strug-
gle going on between capital and Ia
Dor, trusts and consumers, is shown
by a recapitulation of events of the
last week. And also at the present
nationwide protest, involving hun
dreds of thousands of wage earners,
railroads, telegraph lines, coal mines,
and, in fact, scores industries, is
rapidly resulting in an organization
of the masses against the so-called
privileged few" is shown by re-
view of events Of the last day.
simultaneously with the insurrectlon
in the Republican party, the hight OF
the insurgents against Cannon, Al
drich and the new tariff law; the de-
termined efforts of noted Republican
leaders to put down bossism and cor
poration influence at Washington, the
general agitation over the record
breaking high cost of living, and the
wide movement over the United states
to abstain from meat eating-to which
hundreds of thousands of persons have
pledged themSelVes-until the price OF
meat is reduced to a reasonable rate,
comes the prophecy from many quar-
ters tonight that the United States is
threatened by one Of the worst labor
strikes on record-a strike likely to
prove far-reaching in it's scope and de-
cisive in it's effects.
Labor Bodies United
When the news came from lndianap-
oils that the United Mine Workers and
the Western Federation of Miners
planned a gigantic combination of all
metal and coal mine workers to en-
force their demands for better work
ing conditions and higher wages, it
was announced that steps already had
been planned to bring the American
Federation of Labor into the same
merger. The results to be accom-
plished by such a combination sug-
gest many possibilities, but whatever
significance this may have on the
present labor situation it is scarcely
of less Importance than the tremen-
dous move which railway trainmen
throughout the United States are like
ly to make within the next fortnight
for better wages and shorter hours.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, it is believed, will enforce it's
demands and the fact that forty-one
railroads have signifed their intention
to refuse their employees requests,
considered with the announcement
that the trainmen and conductors, if
necessary, will call a strike on every
road in the nation to accomplish their
purpose of reform in working condi-
tions and wages, indicates serious
trouble ahead both for railroads and
employees.
The situation tonight is almost criti-
cal in many places. The strike of the
telegraphers, if made general, not only
will prove advantageous to the railway
trainmens strike, but the latter prob
ably will be aided by a general walkout
of switchmen, whose heavy losses in
their recent northwestern strike have
made the organization desperate, ac-
Cording to labor leaders, and therefore
willing to join in any general move
against the roads. With telegraphers,
yardmen, trainmen and conductors all
besieging the railroads, the crisis may
soon be reached.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 21.-Blame
for the increased cost of living is

ceive 35 cents a bushel for potatoes,
which are retailed at 70 cents, and 13
cents a pound for chickens, when the
retail price is 25 cents. The remedy
advised will be the direct sale of pro-

GUNS BOOM SALUTE AT FUNERAL OF
 CHIEF JUSTICE

Chicago, July S.-Seventeen guns boomed a salute as the body of Mel vile Weston Fuller, chief justice Of the Supreme Court of the United States, was lowered into a grave at Graceland Cemetery. Standing with barred heads by the open grave were Justices White, McKenny, Lurton, Holmes and Day and Governor Hughes of New York, recently named by President to be a member of the Su> preme Court.
 Justice Fuller's body arrived here at, 12:30 o'clock this afternoon and was taken to St. James Episcopal church which the distinguished jurist attended for years. A simple cere- mony followed and the procession moved to the cemetery. The services at the church and at the grave were conducted by Rev. James E. Free man.
 Every court in Chicago was closed for the day. The salute was fired by Battery F.. Fifth Field Artillery, at Camp Dickinson, under orders from General Frederick Dent Grant
