tion of Labor at the Grand Central palace

other cities the local gathering was for
the purpoa of publicly demanding remedial
legislation !n th Interests of organised
labor.
President Gompers In his address declared
that th Judges of th supreme court of th
United states had shown themselves by
training, environment and tendency behind
the times, and urged the neceeelty of an
Immediate demand upon congress to enact
legislation at thia session amending the
Sherman anti-trust law which, the supreme
court' declared, forbids trades unions the
right to boycott, and to strike. Resolutions
were adopted declaring that It waa th con
viction of the meeting that it lies within
the duty of congress to so amend the Sher
man law as to remove any possibility of
such future construction, to enact the bill
to define the injunction powers and re
strain Its abuse.
The resolutions further called upon con
gress to enact a general employer'a liability
bill, an eight-hour bill for government em
ployes and to hold each representative of
congresa responsible for his record on the
labor measures during the present session.

American beef 1 high and acarca and

to mollify the effect of thia statement ex
perta ara out with the moat soothing ex
planation aa to why and how. The stead-
Lily growing republic and tha beef on hoof
ara blamed for .he whole- pernicious thing.
All the-retailers have been told to ex
pect higher prices and advances during the
summer. Last week Swift 4k Co re
ceived on the average of 9.33 cents per
pound for beef, while a week before the
company received 6. cents on the average.
Beside the armies of the world, which
cannot fight without American beef, the
armies of unemployed and the armies of
workers may have the hardest time for a
good many years to get Wat especially
beef.
I A. Lamb of Chicago, an authority on
the prices of commodities and their ad
vances, haa sent to retail butchers a cir
cular which shows the steady advances In
meats. Hers is Mr. Lamb's rule for work
ing out" tho encouraging information: The
average price of food animals on the hoof
tends to rncrease directly with tho Increase
In total population. In other words the
combined three-year average, including
prices of native steers, cows, heifers, hogs,
sheep and Iambs for a fifteen-year period,
shows an average geometric growth of 1.8
per cent per annum, which ia a shade loss
than the geometric rate of population in
crease determined by the cenaus bureau."
