This Is about the only way the little

State Its Own Batcher.
Is it cheaper for the state to do Its own
butchering than to buy of the packing
houses Is a question Land Commissioner
Cowles Is trying, to solve. Figures bearing
uoon the answer to this question were
brought to Mr. Cowles rsterday by H. F
Bit hop, steward of the asyiti.7 at lAv.Mn.
During the fourth quarter of 1909 the state
put chased for the Institution fifty beef
cows, which, furnished 24,625 pounds of
beef, 197 pounds of hearts, 631 pounds of
liver, 131 pounds of tongues, 107 pounds of
tails, 585 pounds of tallow and scraps. The
cows oost $1,860. The hides from these
cows brought $400 and the five Items aside
from beef were worth $70, so the actual
eost of the $24,625 pounds of beef was $1.3W)
or $5.64 per hundred. Bids for beef car
cares were not Invited for this Institution,
but at Norfolk the contract price was $5.94
and at the Soldiers' Home at Butkett,
where they also bought carcasses, the price
was $5.80. So far as these figures go, said
Mr. Cowles, the stats saves a small amount
of money when It buys the cattle, and the
officers at the asylum say that there Is a
vast difference In the quality of the meat.
the home made product, being so much
better than the packing house meat.
Another report will be made at the close
of tha present quarter. March 81. Whether
the higher price of cattle will show
greater or a smaller gain for home made
beef will be determli ed at that time. Dur
ing the present quarter Norfolk pays 44
cents and Burkett 68 cents per hundred
more for beef than they paid last quarter,

Some paid managers of the great La
bor Trust do not seem satisfied to rest on
their past record of tyrannies to their own
members, to other working men, and to the
public at large, but they seek to add to
their long list of villianous acts.
On Sunday, January 2d, 1910 The Chi
cago Federation of Labor allowed to pass to
the press a statement that three carloads of
empty peanut shucks were found in a rail
road wreck and were . consigned to our
Company.
That statement was a wilful, malicious
lie made from whole cloth.
It was inspired by the usual hate for
everyone not under the yoke of the Labor
Trust.
It is a favorite method of the average
"Jawsmith" the noisy ones in the unions
when confronted with facts regarding the.
assaults, destruction of property, and other
crimes (too often including murder) to
concoct and put out deliberate falsehoods.
This attack on the business of the
Postum Cereal Co.. is a good illustration.
They have tried for years to boycott
the products, ruin the business, and take
away the living of our faithful employees,
(about 1,000 persons).
What fori.
We have for years past paid the high
est wages in the State for like service.
Have built and sold hundreds of homes
to them at a total cost of from $11.00 to
$18.00 per month. ' . ' .
About 80 now own these homes and
they are good ones.
These people are faithful, prosperous,
loyal and high-grade, yet thej have.been
hounded and villified because they now and
always have refused to bend the knee to
these tyranical labor bosses who could col
lect monthly fees and order them to quit
work in order to punish the Company for
being independent of "unionism."
The Labor Trust has sent committees
and money time and again, given smokers
(and drinkers) to try and lure our people
into the meshes of slavery, but Postum
workmen steadfastly prefer their independ
ence and liberty. Therefore, the labor lead
ers have threatened to punish them and
this lying "peanut shell tale" is one of the
methods.
There is a time coming when the work
ing men, even outside of Battle Creek, will
secure the rightful position and fair treat
ment with suitable wages without being
compelled to be under the iron heel of a few
labor chiefs who have obtained control in
some localities over the workingmen, and
can tell them when to quit work, o'r be sub
ject to the slugging of their infamous
"entertainment committee."
Labor is too sacred a1 part of the great
world's work to be dominated by the vic
ious, hate-producing, impudent, and crim
inal men too often found in the ranks of
i -i.i
these so-called officers and managers.
The works of the great -food factories
in this country are open to visitors at all
hours of the working day, and are visited
by hundreds of thousands of people who in
spect every kind of material used and all of
the processes. The cleanliness of the Pos
tum Cereal Co., Ltd., plant is proverbial tho
world over." 1 j
We have deposited in the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, $5,000.00 to bo
covered by a like amount by the Chicago
Federation of Labor. If the Federation of
Labor can show that there were ever any
peanut shells or trash of any kind shipped
to and used by the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.,
in their food at any time in the history of
the business, the Chicago Federation of
Labor will take the $10,000.00, otherwise it
will come to us. Tho Chicago Federation
of Labor will not cover this amount. They
know, and their president knows- that when
he made the statement, he constructed it
out of whole cloth and voiced a wilful false
hood. '
