president of the Irish Cattle Traders and

he had ascertained that "a quantity of
boneless beef and pork Is imported Into this

sausages which are sold ss English product.
He admitted that there were serious diffi

WASHINGTON. June t.-Representatlve
Fulkerson of Missouri has Introduced a
resolution calling on the president and sec
retary of agriculture to Immediately make
public any snd all Information that may
secure from "the great army of meat In
spectors employed by the government" or
from any other source that will tend te
credit fir discredit the product of sny plant
where meat products sre prepared.
The resolution also calls upon the secre
tary of sgrleulture to Immediately gtre to
the public hla opinion of the sanitary con

of the products coming from the various
plaits. .
The beef inspection hearing before the
house committee on agriculture was begun
today by listening to Representative. Oav

action.
S. II. Cowln of Fort Worth. Tex., attor
ney for ths Texas Cattle Raisers' associa
tion, was next heard. He detailed the cat
tle Industry. Mr. Cowln said- while the
raisers had their difficulties with the park
era and had not got the best of them yet,
in this question the Interest ot the cattle
raisers and the pack era was Identical., It
there was sn additional expense some one
would have to pay It, and the man who
e'en name the price for the thing he sells
can put sn additional expense where' he
pleases. The. stockmen believe th packers
could put this expense on ths stock raisers.
He read a telegram ' from John T. Lytle,
president of the Cattle Raisers' association
of Texs. which read: "Present agitation
has seriously depressed cattle business.

will BufTer from It to IS per head decline."

oolony has become so serious owing to
the action of the "rings" that he hopes
to see the government adopt further meas
ures In the direction of socialism.
He states In sn Interview thst the nth
combine only permits a certain quantity
of fish to be placed on the market, the
surplus being thrown bark Into the sea
In order to keep up prices. For this
reason blue cod. caught in New Zealand
waters, la actually sold cheaper In Aus
tralia than In thla colony.
. Similarly, owing to meat combines, the
people-of London, Cardiff, Liverpool snd
Manchester ran get New Zealand lamb,
mutton snd beef, superior to thst re
tailed la the colony, at lees than ths re
tail price charged here.
"We will shortly fix ths price of "coal
to the consumer by means ot ths'stste
mines," he sdds. "We Sre about to ' fix
ths rent payable by metnS of the worker s
dwelling Set, and we have fixed the fire
and' accident Insurance premiums - - by
means of state Irtsurince office. ' The
success of previous experiment Impels me
te the conclusion that the simplest, most
economical and surest way of dealing with
the lings Is to open fish tnsrkets Snd
meat markets and fix ths maximum rates
payable by the consumers."
