FEDERAL PROBE
FOR EGG TRUST
Methods of Concern Arouse Gov
ernment Officials.
BAD EGGS BEING STORED
Fresh Supplies Are Held Up and
Prices Are Boosted = offenses
Similar to Those Of Convicted
New York Dealers.

Observation-Disclosures into the al
legged butter and egg trust, which
organization is said to be responsible
for the holding up of fresh supplies,
and forcing the cold storage product
upon the consumer, was limited by at
taches OF States Attorney Wayman's
office. 1t was also announced that the
government investigation into the
same subject would begin September
IS.
The threats Of criminal prosecution
with possible penitentiary sentences,
caused a stampede among the men
who are said to be responsible for the
state of affairs.
Under the direction of the alleged
butter and egg trust. thousands Of
cases of bud eggs, 1t is said. are be-
ing placed in Chicago storage houses
for future consumption. The stock of
good eggs In storage is being con-
stantly increased. according to fnfor-
nation which reached the states at
torney, while fresh eggs, which cost
the commission man II cents dozen,
go to the housewife for 25 to 80 cents
dozen.
The offenses alleged are identical
with those which resulted in the con-
viction of New York poultry dealers.
Since these convictions many dealers
have refused to serve on the price
board.
Statements rejecting on the men
said TO control the egg and butter
prices in Chicago and made by Isaac
Tuck, editor and publisher of the Chi
cago Produce Bulletin, known In the
trade as the Green Sheet" nearly re-
suited. 1t is said, in his being suspend
ed from the Chicago butter and egg
board He was charged with ''uncom-
mercial conduct" 1t is probable that
Mr.. Tuck will be summoned before the
Semptember grand jury and he will
also be witness before the federal
lnquisitors.
One Of the "uncommerciar things he
published was prediction Of coming
break" in the price OF eggs and but
ter. His other "uncommercial' often
ses were to decry the storage and sale
Of No. eggs.
In the face of unprecedented pro-
duction, Mr.. Tuck said In his paper,
the prices of eggs and butter remain
exorbitant He limited at the respon-
sible parties. Charges Of regulation
Of prices and other things said 10 be
In violation Of the law were made.

TAFT SENDS VETO
AS CONGRESS ENDS
Cotton Bill Is Disapproved in
Final Message.
DECLARES ACTION is HASTY
Tariff Measure Passed Without Prop
er lnvestieation--should Wait for
Report Of Tariff Board Before
Taekline Schedules.

Washington.-The special session OF
congress adjourned with the echo oil
another presidential veto ringing in
its ears.
In vetolng the cotton bill, as in the
case Of the wool and free list bills,
the president based his objections
largely upon the fact that the tariff
board had not as yet had time 10
submit report on the schedule. He
also declared that the cotton bill was
adopted without any investigation or
information Of satisfactory charac-
ter as to the effect upon the cotton
industry.
The president objected especially to
the attempt by congress to add re-
vision Of the iron and steel and chem
lcal schedules to the cotton bin as
amendments.
Il find" he said, that there was
practically no consideration of either
schedule by any committee Of either
house. There were no facts present
ed TO either house In which | can
find material upon which to form any
Judgment as TO the effect Of the
amendments either upon American
Industries or upon the revenues OF
the government"
Briefly reviewing the manner in
which the iron and steel and chem
ical amendments were added to the
bill the president said:
"The industries covered by metals
and the manufacture of metals are
the largest in the country, and 1t
would seem not only wise but abso-
lutely essential to acquire accurate
information as to the effect of chang
eE which may vitality affect these in
dustries before enacting them into
law"
Speaking of the cotton industry,
the president said the capital invest
ed in 1909 amounted to 1921. 000, 600.
the value of the product to s620. 000,-
900, the number of wage earners to
$4,000, making. with dependents, a
total Of at least 100000 persons af-
fected. with annual wages OF $146,.
100000. The bill would not have
gone into effect until January next,
and Mr.. Taft said the tariff board
would be ready with report before
that time. Investigation by the house
ways and means committee, Mr.. Taft
said. was purely fW the purpose Of
preparing a bill on tariff for rev.
enue basis.
Pledged to support a policy of mod
crate protection" be added, Il cannot
approve measure which violates its
principles"
The president denounced the bill
as empirical and haphazard" This,
he declared. was especially true Of
the chemical schedule, which had
bean revised In such a way as to In
crease the tax on certain chemicals
instead of reducing them.
This bill illustrates and enforces
the views which / have already ex.
pressed in vetoing the wool bill and
the so-called free-list bill as to the
paramount. importance of securing,
through the investigation and reports
Of the tariff hoard, definite and GER
tain basis of ascertalned fact for the
consideration of tariff saws
No attempt was msde 20 pass the
bill over the presidents veto.

FARM sY-PRoDUcrs.

A history of the evolution Of by
products Of manufacture and their
present relation to the main industry
would be the theme Of a very interest
ing book. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press Such a volume would hold con-
siderable food for thought for the
farmers of the country, and inciden-
tally Of the Northwest More than
one careful farmer has shown that
the using vi few cows and chickens
has paid him profits far above what
the cost OF labor and rent OF land
occupied would lead him to expect.
and in both cases. particularly with
poultry. 1t is what might be called a
by-product of farming. There are poui'
try farms where the main emphasis
is on chickens and eggs. but most Of
the eggs Of the state are raised on
farms where the hens are rather incl
dental and allowed to run as they
please BY a little care and atten'
ton the same hens can be made TO
add several million dollars to the
income Of the farmers OF the state.
The loss because the eggs are not Ia
ken to market often enough is large
and care IN gathering them twice
day is another source of leak in the
profits Of poultry. Mr.. N. e. Chap
man. connected with the University
Farm, says II the farmers of the state
added one pound to the chickens they
sell the increased income would be ST.

effort is made to fatten chickens be
fore marketing them. They are gath
cred up and taken to town when the
farmer is ready.
