DOLLAR GAS LAW IS UPSET.
Made Unconstitutional by High
Costs, Says Albany Judge.
Special Desparch 10 TIE svx.

ALBANr. Sept. e.--The dollar gas law
operative in Albany for the last ten
years was declared unconstitutional to-
day by Supreme Court Justice Has
brouck. The decision vitality affects
similar statutes effective in parts Of
New York city.
Justice Hasbrouck's decision enjoins
the upstate Public Service Commission
the Attorney-General and the District
Attorney of Albany county from enforc-
Ing the dollar rate for gas distributed
after September %. when the Municipal
Gas Company's new tariff of $3.50 a
thousand cubic feet becomes effective.
The decision holds that while the statute
OF 1907 fixing the minimum rate at 81
was constitutional for ten years, the
recent increase in the cost of labor and
the price of materials renders its en-
forcement confiscatory, negotiable and
unconstitutional. An immediate appeal
will bring the case before the Appellate
Division at Saratoga next week.

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission its report
profits stated that the five large meat packers have been
proteerng and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions if fair and just of serious
only those engaged the meat packing bus
but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given profits misleading and the state
that the packers have monopoly is unsupported by
the facts
The packers mentioned the report stand ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary
The business Of the largest American industries
Any citizen who would famiarize himself with its details
must be prepared for large totals
The report that the aggregate profits of four large
packers $l4OOOOOOO for the three years.
This sum is compared with $lsOOO0OO as the average
nua profit for the three years before the war; making it
appear that the profit $2 100000 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares three-year profit with oneyear profta
manfey unfair method of comparison 1t is only mis-
leading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has
made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate hree-year profit of $l40000,000 was
earned sales of four and half billion dollars 1t
about three each dollar of saes-or a
fraction of a cent per pound of product
Packers profits negligible factor prices of live stock
and No other large business conducted upon such
small margins of profit
Furthermore this very importantonIy small por.
ton of this profit has been paid in dividends The balance
has been put back into the businesses 1t had be- you
realize when you consider the problems the packers have
had sove-and solve quickIy-durng these war years.
a. Il
the necessity of paying two three times the former prices
for live stock has required the of three times the
ordinary amount of working capital The additional profit
makes only fair this and has been stated the

ments made necessary by the demands Of
army and navy and the Allies.
If you are business. man you will appreciate the sgnifi
of these facts If you unacquaned with business
talk this matter with business acquantancewth
your banker say-and ask him compare profits of the
packing industry with those any other large industry
the present time.
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission
support of the that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions report shows the large
number and Importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove any fair minded person that they keen
petition with each other and that they have power to
manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would dare make this posi-
tive statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned the report account for only about
third of the meat business Of the country.
They wish possible interest the details Of their
business Of how for instance they sell dressed beef for
less than the cost Of the live animal owing utilization Of BY
products and of the wonderful story of the methods of dsb
ton throughout this broad land we'll in other countries
The FIVE packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with
each other the Of together presenting this public state

ored folks should subscribe for papers de-
void Of merit simply because their publish
ers are colored men, but if colored folks wish
to have their causes placed squarely before
the court Of Public Opinion they must rally
to the aid of strong race publications. The
publication of ideas must be sent to the peo-
pie, it is essential to their uplift both from
within and from without. A publication of
personals is nothing more nor less than a
personal organ that is pleasing for mo-
ment and then, like the refreshing glass of
soda water, thting of the past Sensible
publishers do not expect you or any of

papers and then pay for them and they will

AS BAD AS THE GERMANS

No doubt our fellow citizens in Tennessee
abhor the misdeeds of the Germans and
want to win the war just much as we do.
But when a squad Of them torture and
then burn Negro, as happened last month,
it breaks teeth out Of our protestatons that
the Prusslans are deeper sunk in barbarism
than other people, and must be beaten to
save the moral standards Of the world
If our fellow patriots in Tennessee would
punch up their state authorities to catch and
hang some of the fellow citizens who burned
the Negro it would help us to maintain our
just and proper attitude about the Prus-
slams.
The Federal Constitution amendment
V1ID forbids cruel and unusual punish
ments, even for Negroes but the federal
government has been used to rely on the
states'to make the prohibition good
But II states won't do it, why should not
the federal authorities take hold--Life.
We presume if Life were acquainted with
the conditions it would be equally severe in
It's structures against the persons who tarred
and feathered the Industrial Workers of the
World secretary at Yakima recently and
threatened any other who dared affim allie
glance to that organization with fate "hke
