COLD STORAGE AND THE COST OF
LIVING.

Agricultural production in the
United States is not showing any de-
crease. Statistics demonstrate that
1t is growing correspondingly with
the increase in population Neverthe-
less food prices are still going up.
Cold storage seems to explain away
the discrepancy
This is the time of the year when
food products are accumulated in
great quantities in cold storage plants
to be held there until higher prices
obtain. Cold storage representatives
are going over the country collecting
chickens and eggs. The butter and
the beef trust are nlling up their
warehouses. y Chicago INVESTIGATOR
declares that 100000 hogs, 100000
beeves and l,5oO.ooo Sheep have al
ready been placed by packers in that
city in cold storage. More than that,
2.g7l,OU cases OF eggs. l5.SgS.45o
pounds of poultry and 4S,5S2, coo
pounds of butter have been put in
warehouses.
1t is this that is sending the prices
of nccessaries skyward None OF the
warehouse supply will be -;aken out
until cold weather. and then the food
trust Will wiring from buyers great
prohts, protected against imporua
tons by the Payne tarin
New York is trying to regulate this
method of cXtortion BY means OF the
Brennan act passed last winter. This
act vests power in the board OF
health to regulate cold storage pro
ducts The local Board of IIealuh in
New York municipalities is expected
TO prevent unwholesomc aging or de-
terloration in cold storage. Tho peo-
PIE of New York look FOR good results
from the operation of the new law
Unfortunately. Now York is but one
OF many cold storage centres. Chicago
and 81. Louis are also great storage
centres but no laws in these cities
regulate cold storage There ought

Thinks There Is n Ring.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Several weeks ago there APP
pcared in your columns a letter from
General Rufus A. Ayers of Big Stone
Gap. In this letter the general at
tempted what is an acknowledged i'm
possible thing-to prove that no poll
teal ring holds Virginia within its
grasp. despite the fact that the lead
ing figures of this ring had already
acknowledged themselves members
thereof
Senator Thomas S. Martin recently
stated in public that he was proud
to be member OF that ring" while
Speaker of the Virginia House OF
Delegates Richard L. Byrd declared
himself member of the rings big
Four" naming the other three mem
bers of this SANITY bunch"
But one thing now remains for Cen
eral Ayers to prove" viz: that de-
spite Junior Senator Claude swan
sons confession regarding his stock
purchases while member OF the
Ways and Means Committee of Con
gress, he did not betray a public
trust, and destroy his usefulness as
a representative of his people. Cen
eral Ayers's desertion of the rank
and file OF Virginia Democracy, with
whom he fought shoulder to shoulder
for so many years. and his attempted
defense of ring and ringsters have
caused more univers regret than any
one thing that has happened during
the present fight OF the people against
the bosses and the interests.
