MEAT PRICES WILL SOAR

Chicago Wholesalers Say Price
of Beefsteak Will Be 30
Cents Before Winter

CHICAGO, Sept 24.-Beefsteak at
30 cents a pound as soon as winter
has arrived, was predicted today by
retailers. Packers would not admit
any certain figure. but all OF them
agreed tha. meat prices which have
advanced from one &c three cents a
pound IN the last two days, Will go
still higher.
Choice slrloins today were 2S cents.
Pork chops which two weeks ago
were % cents, today are selling at %
cents for the best. There is small
supply of chuck steaks" at IL to IA
cents, and lamb shoulders at 12h 10
14h cents, and the next cheapest
meats were selling today at 10 TO 20
cents pound.
Added to the climb in meat prices,
condensed milk dealers today an
nounced that next week their product,
which now sells at 10 cents, VIII
move up TO IA cents.
The packers talk freely about the
situation, each exacting promise
that his name Is not to be ed In
any published statements. One OF
the administrative heads of the Swift
& Co, today said:
People are making a mistake In
thinking that the packers are arbi'
trarily fixing the price Of meats. Sup
ply, which is small and demand,
which is strong, are forcing the
prices up. 1t is true that il the tariff

Mexico would ship in large numbers

would demoralize the stock raising

URGES DRASTIC LAWS

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-"We have
found that conditions under which
women work In New York state are
inhuman almost beyond belief" de-
clared state Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner today. discussing the investiga-
tions OF the state factory investi-
eating committee. and predicting
that similar organizations would
soon be created in every state in the
union, and by the federal govern
ment.
The New York investigating body
was appointed Immediately after the
triangle Shirtwaist fire. to investi-
gate working conditions throughout
1.-THE state and to suggest legislative
treforms
"we have found men and women
working In ill-ventilated. poorly
lighted. congested quarters. Par
ticularly were the conditions under
which we found women working
open TO censure.' said Wagner.
"In Buffalo we saw hundreds of
women. young and old, working In
the slaughter houses on wet and
damp floors, doing mems labor.
| ''In Utica we found women work
ing in core foundries. beside ovens
OF molten metal. lifting and strain
Ing at heavy burdens, with only the
poisonous fumes from the metal to
breathe. In Auburn in the harvester
twine plant, we found women stand
ing at big machines 'spooling' twine.
They had no place to seat themselves
for rest; standing all day. breath
ing the dust from the twine that was
so dense that every half hour one
| girl would brush another's clothes
OF with a heavy broom. No pro-
vision for carrying away this dust
was made.
'The reforms which we will ask
the legislature will be sweeping and
will revolutionize working condi-
tions In New York. We will demand
laws that will guarantee adequate
| fire protection, ventilation, proper
hours, chairs with backs for all
women workers. and restrictions as
to the kind OF work women may do.
81 believe that this commission,
the first OF its kind, is but the fore
runner OF similar commissions all
over the country. The workingmer
are becoming awakened and, while
am not a radical, believe that the
present conditions under which they
are working. is the cause OF the pres
ent labor disputes"
The commission today heard OBJ
jections by factory owners to the
recommendation that drastic changes
be made In loft building fire protec.
tion and safeguards. The reforms
include sliding doors, increased mum.
ber OF fire escapes. open courts and
fire hose ready for immediate use.

permit a stumping or the Republican
section of Tennessee.
The program is to leave Atlanta
next Sunday night for Cleveland

ing direct to Raleigh and other North
Carolina cities, as originally planned
This schedule will bring the colonel
to Raleigh on Wednesday, Oct. q
From that city ne win go direct to

gressive candidate will appear before
the Clapp committee, in-Washington,
to testify regarding the Penrose-Arch-
bold charges in connection with
Standard Oil contributions to the 1904
campaign fund.
The following Monday Roosevelt
will begin his tour OF the middle west,
a 10-days' combing OF Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan and possibly
Pennsylvania.
Then he will rest for a day or two,
starting out again to stump New Eng
land for FIVE days. This schedule will
bring him back to Oyster Bay In time
to finish his campaigning, right up 70
election day, In New York state.
Just to show that he has not enough
work to do on his present speaking
tour, the colonel is putting in his odd
moments debating rough drafts of
speeches which he will deliver in the
east. The Bull Moose seldom speaks
from manuscript and the speeches
which he is debating will not be read.
All that the progressive candidate
wants to do is to have his ideas writ.

His name was written in by three

and the beginning OF the next regu-

generally believed that Shepherd

his next term should begin, were he

The prosecutor will apply for an
injunction to prevent the printing OF
Owens name on the ballot, alleging
that he got the nomination by trick
cry. In the event OF the failure or
this method, the prosecutor may ask
his friends to paste his name over
that OF Owens on the ballot, and
should this plan also fail, II is likely
that quo warranto proceedings will
be started against Owens in the
