Meat is so cheap
now that we are
giving it away
While this fore

7S
J OGDEN AEMOUB
the local Federation of Labor which
adopted a resolution calling upon all
labor unionists and their sympathizers
to abstain from eating meat for a pe
riod of one month as a protest agains
the high prices of that article of food
Thousands of these buttons have been
ordered by the leaders in the move
ment
Ih Pittsburg where the boycott
against meat has grown to large pro
portions pledges were distributed on
the streets reading
We the undersigned pledge oui
word of honor that from Jan 23 and
continuing for a period of thirty days
therefrom we will buy no meat of any
kind If at the expiration of the said
thirty days there is not a material re
duction in prices we further pledjit
ourselves to abstain for sixty or nine
ty days
In Boston the boycott was inaugu
rated by the formation of small clubs
the members of which agitated the
matter at mass meetings called to pro
test against the high prices and en
larged the movement in other ways
In Indianapolis and other cities
many of the owners of restaurants
and boarding houses helped the boy
cott along by dispensing with the
V

meat courses and ervinjr f li 1 liei
patrons applauded the action
In Kunsas city tin- proprietor f
leading restaurant announced that he
ginning immediately the serving u
meats in his establishment would b
discouraged Kaiii patron of the res
taurant at breakfast that morning tv
eclved a card at the head of wiiii I
the following ruquest was printed
Assist in the movement to redu
the price of meats
A long list of vegetable dishes U I
lowed
All through the south the nioveine
country wide boycott against meat has spread and thousands have signe
may be stretching it a bit there is pledges to abstain from animal fr
every indication however that before for thirty days In Washington tin
the matter ends even the vegetarians
may be crowding the butcher shops
At any rate from Maine to California
the battle against exorbitant prices of
food has been taken up and the trusts
are getting the scare of their lives
Down with the higher cost of liv
ing is the cry and its a nation wide
slogan
Uncle Sam too has put a fine edge
on his sword and is in the very thick
of the fight his first opponent being
the big meat trust This trust includes
Armour 5c Co Swift Co Nelson
Morris Co and the National Pack
ing company ail of Chicago The last
company is the selling agent for the
other three and through it it is said
the trust dictates the price of meat
to the retailers all over the country
The proceedings were ordered insti
tuted in Chicago after a vast amount
of evidence gathered by the depart
ment of justice during the past sis
months had been considered
The increased cost of living as evi
denced by the high prices for meat
are directly responsible for the govern
ments action In addition to the crim
inal proceedings civil suits to dissolve
the trust will probably be brought
later
The department of justice two years
ago sought to prosecute the beef trust
but defeated its own object by ob
taining evidence on which to convict
the corporations and their officers from
the latter themselves The immunity
clause in the act prevented the prose
cutions and the whole proceeding col
lapsed
The special agents of the department
of justice have collected a mass ol
data in Chicago and elsewhere 01
which the authorities are confident ol
procuring convictions The evident
is said to be overwhelming that th
firms named absolutely control th
meat industry of the country and dic
tate prices both to the producer ano
the consumer Their operations are ai
leged to be in flagrant violation of tin
Sherman act and in restraint of trade
The suit will be brought before Judjrc
Kenesaw M Landis of the Uuiteu
States district court for the northern
district of Illinois the jurist who ini
posed tho S20240000 fine on the Stand
ard Oil company
Whether Uncle Sam comes out victo
rious or not in his fight the beef trus
will long feel the effect of the bit
boycott now spreading over the en tin
country and in many cities and town
novel schemes are being adopted t
help the good work along and gain re
cruits In Baltimore buttons bearing
the inscription I Dont Buy Meat Do
You are being worn on the streets in
large numbers following the action of
Anti Food Trust league has done a-
is doing an immense amount of wor
to spread the boycott The league hi
engaged a corps of experts in lit ii c
hold economics and the preparation u
food products to devise substitutes foi
any article of food which may lie bey
coltcd because of high prices Thesi
experts will soon lie sending broadcast
through the districts where the tni i
strike is on recipes and formulas foi
foods which are believed to be capa
bio of offering as much nutrition a
beef
This same plan will be applied t
the leagues campaign against any ar
tide of food which may be decided ti
be too high priced The corps of ex
perts was engaged because of the new
condition which the beef boycott sud
denly presented
Hundreds of letters from people ii
various cities who have joined the ab
stinence movement are pouring iuti

the leagues headquarters asking foi
substitutes The present plan of the
league is to take up various foods ano
ask its members to abstain from theii
use for a given length of time While
this abstinence is on the expertly pre
pared substitutes will be recommend
ed
In Cleveland one of the first citie
to begin the boycott over 100000 per
sons have signed the no meat
pledges and the legislature has taken
the matter up for investigation Ovei
10000 people in Cleveland have als
signed petitions against the eating ol
eggs until the price has dropped from
4S cents a dozen retail to 23 cents
In Rochester the protest against th
high prices of meat was started by an
endless chain of postal cards request
ing that no meat be used in sixty days
Each card bears the request that two
duplicate cards be immediately mailed
and in this way the boycott has spread
rapidly
New York Philadelphia Chicago
San Francisco and other towns and
cities all over the country are in the
boycott Congress also has the mat
ter of high prices In hand and resolu
tions by Senator Elkins and other
calling for an investigation have start
ed the ball rolling and a thorough in
vestigation will be made Investiga
tions are also demanded in half i
dozen state legislatures
The boycott idea to reduce the cos
of living had its origin in Washing
ton It was given its impetus by tin
effect of a boycott on the coffee coui
bine of Germany
The milk trust is also to be probeu
and the agitation in this direction ha
resulted in the reduction in price
milk in New York and some other sec
tions of the country of from 1 to
cents per quart Also beef pork egg
and butter have fallen in price in sca
eral sections It has recently beei
ascertained that 3000000000 wortl
of foodstuffs is placed yearly in cok
storage to be held it is alleged unti
the prices could be obtained Then
are at present about 93000000 entir
animals held in storage
Legislative action to prevent thi
state of affairs in the future is now ti
be taken At Washington a bill ha
been offered in congress already fr
bidding the retention of meat fisL
poultry butter eggs oysters or othe
food products in cold storage for more
than six months Supporters of tin
bill assert that its passage wouU
mean an immediate ending of price
fixed to suit the food kings without
relation to natural conditions
A similar bill has just been offeree
in the assembly at Albany and it is
reported that a legislative committee
will visit New York to secure testi
mony regarding the cold storage con
ditions
