MEAT NOT HIGH

Local Prices Kept Down BY
Butchering Here: Buying

If YOU would pay less for porter

bought at 90 cents pound. you
must deny yourself the pleasure of
always buying the higher priced
cuts of meat, and try TO worry

burger and other portions of the
fore quarter of the beef.
A visit to the majority Of local
butchers discloses the fact that
meat prices are not high here. OF
course. as with everything else,
prices are much higher than they
used to be. owing to the increased
price of labor. of freight, of rent
and of feed. But owing to the fact
that there are two local dealers
who butcher their own meat and
who dispense to other local dealers,
the price has been kept down here.
The management of the Western
Meat company states that it has
been instrumental in saving an es-
timated average Of 500 a day to

when we get our men in office

nance of way men at meeting at
the Labor temple last night
Speaking to a large audience COM
posed mainly of native section
workers. Mr.. Richards told the
men that they should vote for the
candidates on both the republican
and the democratic tickets who ia
yored labor. A man who failed to
vote for the candidates chosen by
the labor leaders was worse than
"scab." The place to begin in the
labor campaign is in Albuquerque,
he said.
Mr.. Richards spoke Of the work
and growth of the maintenance OF
way organization which he says
now has $4,000 members, lie told
the members that they would, in
his opinion, soon see the realization
| of their wage demands. Speaking
! of the force that can he welded by
! labor and some of their methods,
he told of a representative of Kan
| sas who voted for the Allen law. He
| owned a grocery store in a rail
road town. The railroad men boy
! Cotted him and he lost all he had
| in the business. Mr.. Richards said
| this was Illustrative of the force
that an organization could WELD.

the people of Albuquerque In caus-
ing meats to be sold at q lower
price here than elsewhere. Il is a
positive fact. according % num-
Der of dealers that meat has been
sold at Las Vegas for from 10 10
cents pound more than packers
have sold for in Albuquerque in
order to compete with the price set
by local butchers.
Books of the local butchers show
that they are making a small profit
although they sell at market prices.
The great packing establishments
do business on such a large scale,
and have a monopoly of by-prod-
ucts. which adds to their profits.
They get. for Instance, 46 cents for
green sailed hides. while locally
dealers can get less than 20 cents.
Steers fattened on gramma grass
are as fat and as nOurishing as
those corn fed in Kansas or Den
YER Shipping cattle to feed and
then back again IS an unnecessary
expense to this state. Beef sells at
liz cents a pound on the hoof;
added to that is the cost of retail
ing, bringing up the average sew
eral cents according to the season.
The retailer must, of course, pay
for all Of the beef and so when the
tougher cuts, or those which have
to be cut up into pieces. do not sell
readily the extra amount is added
to the cuts IN demand When they
are less in demand they will sell
hn
cuts will come up. thus equaliZing
prices for the consumer but not
changing results for the dealer.
In order to dispose of the fore
quarter and the odds and ends Of
good wholesome meat the butch
ere are at present selling them as
low as 10 cents a pound. Good
fresh pot roast meat and stew meat
is selling at two large meat markets
here for 1921 cents a pound. The
