This Is the Prediction Made BY
One Chicago Woman
DECLINE OF CATTLE INDUSTRY
Total Loss Through Hog Cholera Is
Put BY Government at Six
Million Head
Especial to The Free Press.l

Chicago, April 23.-The decline of
The clearinghouse business of Chica-
go was predicted by woman econo-
mist in addressing women's club
almost in sight of packingtown. She
gave as reason the refusal of the
packers to do anything adequate to
aid livestock growing, preferring in
stead to shift their main operations
to South America and leave the
simmer picking in this country to
take care of itself Argentina beef
will be selling in the Chicago mar
ket in few years, she predicted,
for the reason that the Armour
Swift interests now are the control
ling factor in that country, as they
have been in this, and that the same
policy would be followed.
Better Beef Abroad.
Better beef is to be had in Eur
ope than in the United States from
American packing houses because
the inspection of beef for domestic
consumption is not equal to that
for foreign Shipments" she said,
"and Notwithstanding the great cost
of the meat inspection it does not
inspect in way to benefit the
consumers of this country. The live
animals are not inspected, as for eX-
port meats" The prediction was
made that, because of the growing
scarcity of livestock which the pack
ers are said to disregard, meats will
go to high figures soon, beef to
dollar pound.
Denied BY Cudahy.
This assertion Patrick Cudahy has
denied. saying that the growing of
cattle, hogs and sheep is increasing
at such rapid rate that the demand
will be more than met IN the face
of his statement however the govern
ment's bulletin reports losses of live
stock, particularly hogs, by scourge
in such large numbers that the re-
will take some time.
The total hog loss, largely by chol-
era, is put ut over six million head.
