AS TO THE COST OF BEEF
Some Figures Which Call for an
Explanation from Retailers.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. So much has been written and said
about the high cost Of meats when bought
from retailers and go many loose charges
have been made against packers and
the trust that an article in your issue
OF to-day on the booming of beef prices
by the demand FOR pure milk and the
safeguards placed around the production
and handling OF the milk supply gives
Thickness to few figures as 10 whole
sale prices OF beef.
II is asserted by the Department Of
Agriculture and admitted by every one
who keeps track OF such things that
prices were abnormally high in 1912 for
live cattle. the basis OF the meat supply.
From your own paper learn that on the
first Monday of June In that year good 10
choice native steers. the top grade In your
quotations were sold ut the New York
stock yards at a range OF s. 80 to 50 10 a

this year the corresponding prices We're

the low and an even dollar or cent a
pound. on the high in favor of this year.
The average high rate for the last five
years. including 1913 for the first Monday
In June, il 81 9S a hundred pounds and
the average low for the same period Sc 9S.
These compare with s. 20. the high. and
s. 90 the low, for this year. showing that
current prices are only y cents "A hundred
higher on the high and % cents higher on
the low than they were for the tive-year
average. or practically half a cent a
pound. live weight
As to the supply. II Is admitted that
with demand keeping up To normal. a
shrinkage In the supply will be followed
by higher prices az a matter OF course.
Exports of live cattle to foreign coun-
tries. which have been suspended for
some time, lately show signs OF being re-
newed, some shipments having been made
this season. although In no large amounts.
The deduction from this is that prices
abroad are on "A level which makes II
more profitable TO send cattle away than
to slaughter them for home consumption.
Now, the average receipts of live cattle
for the first week I'm June of the last five
years are II 1872. the figures for the current
year being 10 40 a difference OF only NJ
which is partly made up by the increase
OF 40 calves received over the average,
1882. for the same weeks used In the
figures for cattle.
With these tigures-showing receipts Of
stock practically up to the average and
prices dollar lower than the highest on
the hundredweight and only about 30
cents higher than the five-year average.
or a difference Of 10 cents az cents a
hundredweighp on the grand average for
this year-it seems hard for the retailers
TO contend that the high prices they
charge are due TO Vaccinations by the

Renewing Arbitration Treaties.

1t is to be hoped that there will be no exception
to the renewal Of the arbitration treaties with the
various powers Those with France, Italy, Spain
and Great Britain have already been renewed, and
there is no good reason why those with Mexico and
japan should not be also
No civilized country in the world should be unwill-
ing to submit to impartial adjudication an interna-
tiOnal question Of legal nature, not involving Its
own vital interests independence or honor or the
interests Of third country. Such reference of such
disputes could do harm to any nation that loved
justice.
And it might avert disastrous war For wars
have not infrequently arisen over matters which
would be adjudicable under these treaties One Of
these days we shall have more comprehensive agree
ments for adjudication, perhaps even such as that
suggested by Mr.. Taft Until that time comes we
should maintain and make the most of those which
we already have.

In Lack of a Russian Treaty.

The arbitrary action which has just been taken In
Russia toward an American corporation produces n
distinctly unpleasant impression, but should cause
no surprise 1t IS Of those things which were
forecast when the treaty Of 1882 was abrogaed, the
danger and probability Of which formed an argu-
ment against abrogation until IA substitute treaty
could be made ready for immediate adoption.
Russia seems to be acting within her legal rights,
50 that there is no danger Of unfrendy international
complications In the absence Of treaty stipulations
10 the contrary Americans and their interests In
Russia are directly subject TO Russian law and police
administration, which, it is TO he assumed will be
applied fairly and without odous discrimination.
Whatever comes Of it, however, the case affords
another argument for the making of new treaty
with Russia at the earliest practicable date.

More Work at Navy Yards.

Mr. Daniels's policy of having a larger proper
ton Of naval construction done at the governments
own navy yards, which he announced informally
during his visit to this city, is commendable for
number of reasons. With all due respect for the
great private shipyards, which have splendidly
built the greater part Of fleet 1t Is desirable for
the government TO be more independent Of them
so that important construction would not be delayed
through their inability unwilngness for any rea-
son to undertake IT,
There is reason for thinking that this would
be in the interest Of economy. Mr.. Daniels Is re-
ported saying that nearly S3oooooo mas Dee"

Scott has been convicted of hostility TO the govern

we imagine. what our own good Mayor calls 'sedl-

Scott svmpathized with the Industrial Workers Of
the World and the strikers. He criticised the police

they were being used to break the strike, declared
that money owned Paterson and money owned the
police and warned the police TO keep their hahus

We have read as severe criticisms Of municipal
administrations and of their police as those OF Scott

guage was not extraordinarily severe for so

And his conviction becomes all the more remark
able when it is recalled that higher New Jersey
court through Judge Minturn, said in effect pract

administration when the court decided that the cit

The Tribune has no sympathy for the Industrial
Workers Of the World interest in It's fate. 1t has
great interest in what happens to the law. The law
seems to be getting the worst il more and more in
Paterson.
