Thousands Boycott Meat
NATION FACING CRISIS;
CAPITAL AND LABOR
READY TO LOCK HORNS
Battle is On Against Great Interests Led by
Cannon and Aldrich—Wage Earners
Arise En Masse
VfBW TORK, Jan. 21.—That tho
\\ United States is facing one of
-^-' the most serious crises in his
tory, the result of a tremendous strug
gle going on between capital and la
bor, trusts and consumers, is shown
by a recapitulation ot events of the
last week. And also at tin; presi ni
nation-wido protest, involving hun
dreds of thousands o£ wage earners,
railroads, telegraph lines, coal minus,
and, In fact, scores • f industries, is
rapidly resulting in an organisation
of the masses against the so-called
"privileged lew," is shown by a re
view 01 events of the last day.
Simultaneously with tho insurrection
in the Republican party, the light of
the insurgents against Cannon, Al
drlch ana tin: new tariff law; the de
termined efforts of noted Republican
leaders to put. down bosslarn and cor
poration influence at Washington, the
general agitation over the record
breaking high cost of living, and the
wide movement over the United States
to abstain from meat eating—to which
hundreds of thousands of persons have
pledged themselves—until the price of
meat is reduced to a reasonable rate,
comes the prophecy from many quar
ters tonight that the United States is
threatened by one of the worst labor
.strikes on record—a strike likely to
prove far-reaching in Its scope und de
cisive in Its effects.
Labor Bodies United
When the news came from Indianap
olis that the United Mino Workers and
the Western Federation of Miners
planned a gigantic combination of all
metal and coal mine workers to en-
Force their demands tor better work
ins conditions and higher wages, it
wa.s announced that steps already had
been planned to bring the American
Federation of Labor into tin: same
merger. The results to bo accom
plished by such a combination sug
gest many possibilities, but whatever
significance this may have on the
present labor situation It is scarcely
of less importance than the tremen
dous move which railway trainmen
throughout the United states are like
ly to make within the next fortnight
lor better wages and shorter hours.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, it is believed, will enforce its
demands, and the fact that forty-ono
railroads have signified their intention
to refuse their employes' requests,
considered with the announcement
that the trainmen and conductors, if
necessary, will call a strike on e\'■!■>•
road in the nation to accomplish their
purpose of reform in working condi
tions and wages, Indicates serious
trouble ahead both, for railroads and
employes.
The situation tonight is almost criti
cal in many places. The strike of the.
telegraphers, if made general, not only
■will prove advantageous to the railway
trainmen's strike, but the latter prob
ably will be aided by a general walkout
of switchmen, whose heavy losses in
their recent northwestern strike have
made the organization desperate, ac
cording to labor leaders, and therefore
willing to join in any general move
against the roads. With telegraphers,
yardmen, trainmen and conductors all
besieging the railroads, the crisis may
soon bu reached.

ECZEMA ON HANDS
FOR HEARS
Were Raw All Over and the Humor
was Spreading to Body and Limbs
— Professional Treatment did No
Good—Daughter had Eczema, Too.
CUTICURA A SUCCESS
IN BOTH THESE CASES
«
" I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out only
in winter. Then it finally came to stay.
I had three good doctors to do all they
could but none of them did any good.
I then used one b&x of Cuticura Oint
ment and three Bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent and was completely cured.
My hands were raw all over, inside and
out, and the eczema wag spreading all
over my body and limbs. Before 1 nad
used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
together with the Cuticura Ointment,
my sores were nearly healed over, and
by the time I had used the third bot
tle, I was entirely well. I had a good
appetite and was fleshier than I ever
was. To any one who has any ekin or
blood disease I would honestly advise
them to fool with nothing else, but to
get Cuticura and get well. My hands,
cured by the use of Cuticura, have never
given me the least bit of trouble up to
now. I cannot recommend Cuticura
highly enough, it has done me and my
family so much good. My daughter's
hands this summer beoame perfectly
raw with eczema. She could get noth
ing that would do them any good until
she tried Cuticura. She used two bot
■ tles of Cuticura Resolvent and one box
of Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks
they were entirely cured. I have used
Cuticura for other members of my fam
ily and it always proved successful. I
recommend it to any one with eczema.
After once using it you will never use
anything else. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers
Ferry, Va., Oct. 19, 1909." v
KEEPING THE HAIR
To prevent dry, thin and falling hair;
remove dandruff; allay itching and irri
tation, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, frequent shampoos
with Cuticura Soap and occasional dress
ings with Cutioura are usually effective
when all other methods fail. Special
and full directions accompany each
package of Cuticura.

RAILROAD PICKED
FOR TEST OF WAGE
INCREASE DEMANDED
CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.—President W.
G. Lee of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen and Grand Chief A. 11. Qar
retson of the Order of Railway Con
ductors, Will meet in the east Monday
to enter formally upon negotiations
that will determine the outcome of.
the present dispute between the rail
roads .'Mid their employes.
President Lee announced tonight be
fore leaving for Chicago, that he haa
already picked one railroad on which
will be made a test of the. trainmen's
demands.
Owing to the fact thai the replies re
ceived are practically uniform, the two
brotherhood leaders believe thai b set
tlement on one road will lead to a
similar adjustment on the others.
The real dispute, it la conceded, will
come on the question of payment to
the train crews for work done before
starting on tho day's run. The men
want pay from the time they report
for duty.
The statement of Chairman J. C.
Stewart of the General Managers 1 as
sociation, that wages undoubtedly will
be raised, was received with satis
faction at headquarters here.
RAILROADS EAST OF
MISSISSIPPI REFUSE
EMPLOYES' DEMANDS
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.— General dis
cussion of tho wage demands made by
the trainmen and conductors of the
railroads east of the -Mississippi river
will now follow the tentative refusals
which have been made to the demands
by several of the eastern railroads.
The advances asked vary from 10 to
60 per cent.
The Krie railroad this afternoon for
mally rejected tho demands of its
trainmen and conductors for increased
wages.
The rejection of the demand followed
a friendly conference of the road's offi
cials and a committee; of employes.
Forty-one railroads have as yet to
act on the demands of their men, but
by an agreement they will reject them.
Conferences will follow the rejections.
Those roads which have found it in
convenient to meet their employes this
week will do so at the first opportunity.
HAVE LITTLE HOPE OF
ADJUSTING DIFFERENCE
WITH STREET GAR MEN
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.—Al
througb more than !iOOO motormen and
conductors of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company voted last Tuesday
in favor of a strike, the men are still
at their posts today and all of the
lines of tho company are running on
their usual schedules.
C. O. Pratt, who has been author
ized by tlit; executive committees of
both tin' local and national body to
give the word which will put the pro
posed strike into effect, is still hold
ing back, hoping- that the threatened
trouble may yet be averted.
The last communication received by
the union men from the company
holds little hope for a peaceful ending
of the trouble, The men assert that
the company is not carrying out the
agreement reached after the end of the
strike last June, and charge that they
are being discriminated against in fa
vor of men of a new rival organiza
tion.
RAILROAD MEN FORMULATE
PLAN TO GET PAY RAISED
CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.—Plans for ne
gOtlating witli the railway systems of
the eastern part of the United States
and Canada for a wage Increase and
uniform working conditions were for
mulated at the headquarters of the
Brotherhood of .Railroad Trainmen
here today.
President W. Q, Lee of the trainmen
said that substantially all the rail
roads had been heard from, either
formally or informally, with respect
to the proposition submitted by the
trainmen and Order of Railway Con
ductors.
None granted any of the. terms pro
posal by the employes, but each has
expressed a willingness to negotiate a
settlement.

FOR JUST PRICES
{Continued from race One)
menta from Milwaukee and Cleveland
that the price of moat had dropped.
In Milwaukee two retail butchers
quoted porterhouse steaks at 10 cents a
pound, a slrloan at the same price and
other meats in proportion.
The wholesale price of beef fell off 15
cents a hundred pounds in Cleveland.
From Denver came the report that
Sam DUtton, president of the Western
Hotel Men's Protective association, an
nounced that the proposition of cutting
down the consumption of meat would
be brought before his organization at
a meeting to lie held here January SI.
Boycott Meat
Dispatches from Baltimore, Milwau
kee. Kansas City, Omaha, Memphis,
Plttsburg and other cities told of the
rapid growth of the movement.
Cleveland, credited with being the
originator of the scheme, now has 30,000
names enrolled in the crusade, while
Kansas city reports that it may soon
have 80.000.
The heads of the leading packing
houses of Kansas City and Chicago re
fused to discuss the effect of the move
ment upon their business.
None of the heads of the local pack
ing houses would make any statement
I today concerning the attitude their
I companies would take on the country
wide movement toward a meat boycott.
So far there has been no concerted
movement on the part of local labor]
organizers and other bodies to stop eat- |
ing meat. Then 1 appears to be a will
ingness to Join in such a movement
I when it is launched, however, and many
club women have expressed themselves
as in favor of such action.
Tags bearing the inscription "No
meat for mine until March 1': are be
ing worn by a. few.
PROBE WILL BE PJT
INTO BEEE COMBINE
"WASIUNCTON, Jan. 21.—The "beef
trust," so-called, is to be prosecuted by
it],- national government. The depart
ment of justice evidently believes its
. existence is a leading factor in main
taining the present high prices of fresh
meats.
The contemplated action of the de
partment follows an investigation that
has been conducted by the special
agents for some months. Initial pro
ceedings will be taken before the grand
jury at Chicago, and may include both
civil and criminal actions.
' The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co, and Armour & Co., all of
whom, it is said, are interested In the
National Packing company. These three
1 firms are commonly reported to control
! the National company.
To Investigate Trust
The aim of the department has been
to ascertain the relations between the
. several firms, individually and with the
I National Packing company, to deter
. mine whether they have controlled the
prices of fresh meats.
One possible method of action may
be a suit to dissolve the company,
under the Sherman anti-trust law,
operating in restraint of interstate
trade. Proceedings of individuals also
| may result.
The investigations conducted by the
department had their inception in an
Inquiry Into the practices of a western
railroad, In making shipments for
Morris & Co. These practices, it was
charged, amounted to rebating.
It was decided that the practices were
improper, if they did not amount to re
bating. I'hey were discontinued.
On learning of the intended action of
the department of justice, Alfred R.
I'rion, head of tho legal department of
Armour & Co., hurriedly left for Chi
cago. Mr. Urion had been in Washing
ton more than a week, watching the de
velopments in the proposed action, and
it is understood he had some confer
ences with the attorney general.
DENVER BONIFACES SAY
EAT MORE VEGETABLES AND
CUT DOWN THE EXPENSES
DENVER, Jan. 21.—Plans for a meat
boycott are being laid by the Denver
Trades assembly. The assembly will
be asked to indorse the boycott at its
meeting next Sunday. Several leading
hotel and restaurant men last night
announced their -willingness to aid by
serving vegetarian menus.
Something- of a national character is
to be given tho recently inaugurated
meat boycott! according to Sam Dut
tnn, president of the Western Hotel
Men's Protective association, The pro
position of cutting- down the consump
tion of meat will be brought before
that body at a meeting to bo held in
Chicago January 31, when the associa
tion will be marie national.
"Unless something la done to curtail
the consumption of meat," said Mr.
Dutton today, "the time Is coming when
the poor of this country will be no
better off than tlio peasants of Europe.
"When the people learn tln>y can live
just as well and feol much better and
cut down their household expenses by
eating more vegetables, the condition
of the working: class will be greatly im
proved."
IDLE JEST RESULTS
IN WIDESPREAD MOVE
AGAINST MEAT EATING
CLEVELAND, 0., Jan. 21.—From an
idle jest in the lunch room of a fac
tory here last week the Cleveland
strike against the eating of meat has
grown to hugo proportions, It is said
100,000 people in Cleveland have now
pledged themselves to abstain from
meat for thirty days. Tho Ohio legis
lature has taken up the question and
a committee to investigate the cost of
meats will open its session next week.
Since the inception of the strike
beef, lamb and pork have dropped in
price. Beef declined 15 cents a hun
dred wholesale yesterday and lamb 10
cents today.
Ten thousand householders [ are re
ported to have signed petitions against
eating eggs until the price has
dropped from 48 cents a dozen retail
to 25 cents.
Retail butchers have been compelled
to cut down their working force from
one-third to one-half, and several have
retired from business.

COLD BLOODED CHICAGO TRUST
BLAMED FOR HIGH MEAT PRICES
"The cattle raisers throughout the
southern part of the state agree, with
the packers to the extent that a
scarcity of stock in California and the
high price of live beef in the east and
western cattle raising states has caused
the figures to bound up here.
"Hut I do not hesitate to say that
back of it all stands a little circle of
cold-blooded men, with headquarters in
Chicago, who have point by point, forced
the price of meat up and up in the
great populated centers of the east
until the market of North America
has been so completely controlled and
manipulated that California, unable to
supply her own market, has been
forced to call on Utah, Arizona, Nevada
and Idaho, whO already are clipping
fancy prices on tin- demand from all
quarters for their beef."
This was the statement made by E.
M. Durant, clubman, former owner of
thousands of cattle in the Antelope
valley and now connected with the art
tile works at Tropico, when asked
about the meat situation at his, home
at 1007 Orange street.
"There is no doubt," he added, "that
a great trust has corraled the eastern
meat market, but I do not believe the
same is true in California, because of
the fact that there are so many ifile
pendent dealers in this state. I attrib
ute the scarcity of cattle to the great
inroads being made by settlers on the
once vast cattle ranges, and also to
the fact that the industry has slipped
from the hands of the small dealer
into the hands of the more powerful
men financially, who have bought up
the ranches and consolidated them.
Urgent inquiries from housewives,
general, local packers and dealers ex
pect lower prices in tho Kansas City
and Chicago wholesale markets. The
boycott movement is growing.
The wholesale price of beef fell off
15 cents a hundred pounds here today.
Hog prices are steady. There has been
a slight decrease in the price of eggs
following the boycott on eggs started
yesterday.
TWO RETAIL BUTCHERS
IN MILWAUKEE REDUCE
PRICES TO LOW FIGURE
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21.— Porterhouse
stoaks, 10 cents a pound.
Sirloin steaks, 10 cents a pound.
Pork steaks, 14 cents a pound.
Veal steaks, 7 cents a pound.
These are some of the prices quoted
in advertisements in a .Milwaukee pa
per this afternoon by two retail butch
ers who responded to the agitation of
a meat strike in Milwaukee.
One advertisement is headed: "Meat
Is Coming Down," and the prices are
far below those quoted for months.
A resolution will be introduced in the
common council to investigate meat
prices, and a mass meeting has been
called by the Associated Trades council
for February 15 to take action against
high price of food products.
INVESTIGATION MAY END IN
GREAT CO-OPERATIVE STORE
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 21.—Blame
for the Increased cost of living is
placed on the middlemen by an inves
tigating committee appointed by a
citizens' muss meeting on January 15.
It was ascertained that farmers re
cetve 35 cents a bushel for potatoes,
which are retailed at TO cents, and 13
cents a pound for chickens, when the
retail price is 28 cents. The remedy
advised will be the direct sale of pro
duce to householders by fanners, and
possibly a co-operative store,
NEW ENGLAND HOLDING
ALOOF FROM BOYCOTT
BOSTON, Jan. 21.—There has been no
concerted movement in New England
as yet regarding the elimination of
meat from the daily diet of the Inhab
itants. Some labor unions in Brockton
have discussed the question and the
matter has received some attention at
Lynn and at one or two other cities.
Local retail meat dealers today say
they have noticed no falling off in the
demand.
NEW YORK JOINS PARADE
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—New York
today joined In the country-wide boy
cott. Scores of laboring men and oth
ers are. making pledges to abstain
from meat for SO days while others are
only eating meat once a day. Mrs.
Anita Combort-Brooks, prominent in
club elides, has come forward with a
suggestion that a million housewives
unite to force down prices.
BUSY IN DES MOINES
DES MOINKS. Jan. 21.—Petitions
which war* circulated In Dcs Koines
today were signed by scores of men and
women who agree 10 .at no meat for
30 days.
restaurateurs and hotel men, spurred
on by the continued advance In the
price of meat, have elicited from them
little satisfaction from the big pack
ing concerns of Los Angeles, who
claim that the advance in prices is
perfectly legitimate. Inasmuch as a.
greater consumption is drawing on a
lesser production. Local packing house
officials yesterday said that the scar
city of cattle has become so great that
the United States is losing down on
her export of cuttle to Europe in order
that the home trade may be cared for.
in,., official of tbe Southwestern Pack
ing company declared that only re
cently Swift & Co. of Chicago recalled
a. large shipment el' cattle that already
had been landed in Europe at great
expense and that many other instances
of the same character could be cited
to prove that, an actual scarcity of
stock and a greater demand in the
consumption of the meat are respon
sible for the raise in prices.
A housewife remarked the other
night that she bad purchased for a
dollar 10"> oranges, whereas for the
samp amount of money she received
100 potatoes. "Potatoes cost more than
oranges," she said. "They are keeping
pace with meat."
The price of porterhouse stealc has
advanced in live years from 20 cents
to 2S cents per pound, averaging an
advance of one-fifth along the line.
Even the friendly little hen has gone
back on the public and charges 45
cents to be drawn and quartered.
whereas five years ago she laid her
head on the block and passed into
eternity for the very nominal sum of
27 cents.

ACCUSE CARDINAL OF
ATTACKING TEACHERS
Prelate Denies His Letter of Warning
to Catholics Against the Public
Schools Inspired by Po.
litical Considerations
RHEIMS, France, Jan. 21.—Cardinal
Lucion, archbishop of Rheims, appeared
before the bar in hia own behalf today
at the continuation of the suit institut
ed against him by the public school
teachers, charging that in signing the
episcopal letter warning- Catholic pa
rents against the public schools he had
designed to destroy the teachers' au
thority.
The cardinal read a statement in
which he denied the episcopal lettrr
had been inspired by political consid
erations, adding:
"Its sole purpose was to warn Catho
lic parents of the danger to the faith
and the morals of their children in
curred in the use of certain textbooks
and the- method of instruction in the
public schools.
"To complain that the public schools
are becoming an instrument of dechric
tianization does not constitute an at
tack on the political regime of Prance."
The defendant denied that the bisli
ops who signed the letter were enemies
of the teachers. In conclusion he ex
pressed the conviction that the court
would recognize the church's right to
defend the faith publicly attacked.
"France," ho said, "will ratify this
judgment, because it comprehends that
we are the real defenders of conscience
and the champions of its sacred liber
ties."
MORSE STILL IN CELL
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 21.—Charles W.
Morse, one time "ice king" and New
York banker, now "Convict 6814" In
the federal penitentiary here, has not
yet been assigned to any work. War
den Moyar is out of the city, and un
til he returns Morse will continue to
pass the time as he did the first day
he awoke in prison garb.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Miss Rose
Weber, a stenographer, who did work
for Dr. Frederick A. Cook last fall,

against him. and her counsel has at
