What in the world is it that makes anybody ex-
pect that when foreign beef wouldn't come into this

Solutions of the meat problem are offered in
fIfy-seven varieties. One suggests lower freight
rates. another, public slaughter houses, another,
no tariff and so on. But can you raise cattle in
slaughter houses? Can you raise them on cattle
cars? Can: you fish them out of the sea with a no.
tariff hook if they don't exist? Can you raise
them cheaply the abandoned farms if it costs SO
much more to feed and fatten them for market
that either the price to the consumer has to be sky
high or the producer has 80 quit? -. =
That's the whole trouble. 1t is that there isn't
enough beef to 50 around There isn't enous sh in the
United States; there isn't enough in Canada There
isn't enough in South ,America-there isn't enough
anywhere to 60 around in the old way; and freight
rates and abattors and tariff legislation and magazine
articles on abandoned farms can't create enough.

calculate that finally the system is good thing all

the justice of wage increases that may be granted
The Bureau of Labor now reports on very sim

inally expiring in 1910 has been continued by mutual
consent 1t has affected about 900 employing con-
Germs and 10000 workers
The basis of the conciliation scheme is convsrsa-

an understanding as to exact facts and their bear

Within six years this plan adjusted 1910 difficult
