GOES RIGHT ON
Frye and Company Fighting
Other Packers All Over
the Northwest

SEATTLE, March q. - Exten-
sion of the dreadful meat war"
from Seattle to eBllingham, Alb
erdeen, Hoquiam and other cities CT
Western Washington, with all the
thrilling slaughter of prices of fresh
meats and packing house products
which has already worked havoc with
the demon, High Cost of Living"
c. H. Frye returned Saturday from
California and today announced that
his representatives had obtained
three permanent retail locations in
Bellingham and one each in Aberdeen
and Hoquiam, on Grays Harbor.
This new move by Frye it was ex.
planned today. means the extension
Of the meat price war to these thrce
prosperous manufacturing towns.
with Seattle as the base Of opera.
tions. Incidentally, it also means a
widening Of the activities of a big
Seattle industry.
Packer to Consumer
The Seattle meat price war. which
brought down the price of porter
house steaks, calves brains, liver and
bacon. English mutton chops and
sweetbreads to a little more than
half the former figures. was started
when local organization of retail
meat sellers began a fight aainst the
Frye products. The local union of
meat cutters was involved in the fight
for time, but lately there has been
little or no showing OF union labor
interest in the meat conflict. From
the packing house to the consumer"
was the slogan adopted by Frye and
he says he is still on the job along
that line.
Incidentally, it is known, some of
the big Omaha and Chicago packing
houses have been involved in the
fight and there have been charges
and counter-charges, involving the
beef trust" and other dreadful agen-
cies, which are said to oppress the
the proletariat.
However, the interest in the pub
lie to date has been confined to watch
ing the gradually descending price
scale of pork chops, round steak, rib
roasts and tenderloins, as they bear
such an intimate interest to the af
fairs Of the average human as to
dwarf other and irrelevant considera-
tions.
According to G. H. Frye, the estab-
lishments located in the three cities
named where Frye products are now
shipped in wholesale and carload lots
from Seattle are permanent enter
prises.

brother and sister-in-law, and the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. D..

had been drawn and wax candles
and shaded electric globes gave all
the light. The bride was dressed

About fifteen months ago a small
coterie of Chehalis county taxpayers
got together for the purpose of u.s.
ing their voting power in an attempt
to escape condition that had become
intolerable by reason of the eva
sion of taxes by large land holders
in the county. One result of that
organization was to place Robert A..
Wiley in the Office of county assess
or, pledged to "A Square Deal"
Nothing more was asked; nothing
less expected. But, no sooner was
the election of Mr.. Wiley announced,
that the organized Tax Dodgers be-
gan to get busy. The idea of an as
SCISSOR and possible county board of
equalization outside of their control
was absurd-and might become ex
pensive.
The most grevious complaint the
Taxpayer League had was that
against large holders of timber lands,
almost all non residents. For ten
years efforts to have those lands
cruised-and the value estimated
just as is other property for taxa
tion purposes-had been thwarted.
Now that this object has been at
tanned, all other objections within and
without the law are being resorted
to.
With a man in the Office of coun.
ty assessor possessed Of less stamina
than Mr.. Wiley, the pressure would
have already broken down the bar
rier between the lumber barons and
the people who pay what they dodge
Not 50 with Assessor Wiley. He re-
fused to be bluffed and could not
be bought, SO the law is invoked.
Very we'll, The Simpson Logging Co.,
Mason county corporation, brings
suit to question the accuracy Of the
official cruise on a few sections Of
land, and the word goes forth through
the press that the suit would, or
threatened to invalidate the entire
cruise Of the county-made at an
expense of about $4,000. This was
the bluff.

Attorney Stewart. replied that there

Session Of Congress

WASHINGTON, Mar. q Especial to
the Herald)-As the special session
of congress approaches the sailing in
to port Of the craft steered by the
old navigators does not look so
smooth.
The old time Republicans who an
ticipated a sort Of jolly and easy
time with the hundred and odd new
members, especially those denomln-
ated Progressive Republicans" are
receiving the cold disappointment that
goes with the clammy hand. But,
to give you concrete example, Re-
presentatives Kent, of California;
Lenroot, of Wisconsin. and Ander-
son, Of Minnesota, progressive Repub.
licans, made a formal announcement
yesterday that they would join the
house Progressives in a new third
party organization. and would vote
for Representative Victor Murdock,
for speaker. Each said he believed
progressive ends could best be at
tanned at present by supporting the
present administration, and he in
tended to cooperate with the admin
istration in every way so long as It
continued to carry out progressive
policies.

that he will join with Representative
Victor Murdoch, the energetic Pro-

organization in that body which will
be distinct from the Democratic and
Republican, and which will have all
the rights and privileges Of separ-

candidate for speaker Of the house
on the opening day Of congress. Here
