During an altercatton in a saloon at Mec- dAllister and Fillmore street: yester- day morning Patrick O'Doo member of Company K, Twenty-third Massachu- getts, was stabbed thrce times in the breast. Immediately after the cutting his murderous assailant ran’from the saloon and made his escape. The wounued soldler was. subsequéntl “uken to the Receiving Hospital by the sergeant of the company, who met hi ' short distance from the saloon. - As they ‘entered the hospital they were met young man named Hopper, who is ¢ ployed as janitor around the Clty Hall Hopper was engaged in mopping the fiGor ©of the hospital when the ‘wounded soldier &nd his companion appeared. - Afte - ing aside the mop which he was using Hopper escorted the injured soldier to the operating room.

Jimmy Anthony caused the first wait by refusing to go on until agsured he would receive the full amount of the purse offered.

CLOSING IN 0N CONTRACTORS Garments for Soldiers " Made by Chinese. THE PROOF IS FURNISHED CLOTHING - DEALERS SUBLET CONTRACTS TO COOLIES. A Grand Army Man Gives His Shop 2 Chinese Name So as to Securs Some of This Pat- ronage. On Thursday evening the Building Trades Council passed resolutions con- demning Major Long, of the quartermas- ter's department, for allowing the work of making the garments for Uncle Sam’s | soldiers to firms who sublet the con- tracts to Chinese. When the council passed the resolution ifs members were satisfled that even at the present time the bulk of this work is being done'by Chi- nese. In order to furnish proof that their assertions were correct a committee com- posed of -J. Rose, J. Brumfield and C. Jackson, of the Bullding Trades Councli, and EJd Rosenberg of the Labor Councll, was directed to make a personal investi- gation of the matter. Early yesterday morning they called upon Labor Commis- sloner Fitzgerald and asked that the in- vestigation be made offictal by having some representative of the office go with them. Deéputies Dam and. Green were delegated to this task. Their work was made lighter by the receipt of the fol- lowing letter: SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 1808, B. L.

Hundreds of pairs of these garments were scattered about in all conditions, from the plain cloth to the fully made garment. Attached to' every ne was a tag bearing the initials of the rm. of Greenbaum, Well & Michaels. A demand was made for the boss, and in a lttle while that individual made his ap- pearance. He confessed to owning the name of Jacob Kerminsky, sald he was a | Polish Jew and asserted that he was a member of the Grand Army of the Re- public. He wears the button of that hon- orable organization. A samplé of -the tagged goods and an order for more clothes. were taken as evidence of the fact that he has the contract and is getting the work done by Chinese. At 19 Webb street, the shop of Quong Yek Lée, several dozen Chinese were at work making shirts for Uncle Sam’s boys. Some of the work was a sight to behoid, the seams being either half séwed or sewed. after the manner .of accordion-pleated skirts. The orders showed this work is being done for Meyerstein & Co.

Jacob Karminsky acknowledged that he is the sole proprietor-and owner of the firm of “Wing Lung,” but_that he does not 5O under that name. He refused to tell the names of the firms from whom he receives the contracts to make soldiers’ garments, and was threatened with arrest by the Commissioner, who has the authority to compel witnesses to testily in such mat- térs.

Government Inspection of Meats a -Farce — Rendered Inoperative- Through Bribery and Fraud. ° The cattle producers of the West have been in conference many times, the wheat growers have met, the silver advocates awakened and the industrial class, composing the labor unions, have been many times in secret sesslon. The | butchers of all leading citles are meet- ing yearly. caucuses They are the protests of out- raged soclety against the arbitrary control of our markets and against the unfalr Methods of associated capital. To be more specific, the hardships which have been imposed upon the masses, the tyranny of trade monopoly ‘which they endure, and the immensity of-an indebtedness which no human ef- unawares, been forced upon them. By years of co- ercion, partly through their own folly and principally through manipulation, they have been led, step by step, into the meshes of monopoly, until now, like caged animals, they chafe llke the ISRAELITES OF OLD AGAINST THEIR BONDAGE The cause of this is'to be found in class legislation or in discriminating laws and franchises; which have en- riched a few at the expense of the many, until the few control and dictate values in every branch of American in- dustry. The combined trusts and mo- nopolies have seized upon power, and through the abuse of our governmental ideal of liberty, they hLave usurped rights which threaten the eunslavement of the people. The butchers’ battle, through. thelr national organization, is only a part of the great struggle inau- gurated in the civilized world, and now fairly begun In the United States be- tween the principle of industrial co- operation, or centralization, on one hand, and of competition upon the other. There is no question at all but what the large dressed beef companies control the cattle industry of the Unit- | ed” States, and there is no question at all but what thev nearly.control also the fresh meat supply of the United States also. If retail butchers buy their fresh meats from those meat com- bines, it means the elimination of the | principle of competition, it means one bid for cattle and one bid for the fresh3 beef, and this bid, regulated by the selfishness of conspirators; one price to consumers, and this price REGULATED BY THE SAME YARD- STICK OF COMMERCE. It means that the beef combination will continue to pocket the profits. retall butcher stands between the pro- ducer and consumer. He represents a great industry, and is responsible to soclety. If he deserts ‘his trade, his freedom and independence, what wiil be the consideration? He will simply hecome the hireling, a distributor of meats that have been shipped thou- sands of miles, and which has, "per- haps, been refrigerated for weeks to make it tender, and he cannot tell ‘whether it came from an.infected.herd or not. Right here I will say, without fear of contradiction, that the Govern- ment inspection : w for home trade is nothing but a farce for the benefit of the beef barons. I am ready to prove before a proper committee that thou- sands of cattle have been killed in Kan- sas City, Omaha and other cities that were never seen by a Government vet- erinary surgeon or a meat inspector, but, notwithstanding, Uncle Sam’'s stamp of Inspection was tacked on the | carcasses to make our citizens believe that said beef was Inspected and THUS DECEIVE THE GENERAL PUBLIC. The power of the dressed. beef m nopoiists is such that they can depress prices at will, as it has been proven that they hdve the value of an animal almost cut in two. This dominaiion re- sults from the fact that they have kill- ed :opposition whenever and wherever | it has developed. The whole cattle in- | dustry is cowed. The humiliating’ fact is apparent that the ranchmen, aom- mission men and butchers will all soon wear a collar upon which sheuld now be branded, “Slave to thé Dressed Beef Monopoly. If all the retail butchers go into the league, the stock formerly killed and marketed at home: will be sent across different States to the large abattoirs. This will result in a double set of transportation charges, commis- slon and other expenses, and the dress- ed carcass will be shipped back again for consumption. Do consumers for a minuté belleve that they will not pay for this? The dressed beef company will first make their profit, the railroad company makes two profits, the com- mission men and shippers a profit, the stockyards a profif and the retail butchers a profit. When the competi- tion of butchers is totally removed it means a permanently increased cost of living, and in return for his home mar- ket or stock killed at home and inspect- ed by the proper meat inspector, a non- descript and unclassified quality of meat that he can’t tell whether it came from a healthy animal or not, and the consumer must therefore trust to Prov- idence: “OR SOME AGENT OF THE DRESSED BEEF MONOPOLY.” The meat, of course, is tender, but the oldest and j oorest ranch cow would be tender if refrigerated thirty days or more. Consumers might as well fill their stomachs with woody fiber as with this refrigerator stuff, as there is nothing strengthening in it, and it is without nourishment. As stated pre- viously, we have cheaper beef here in St. Louls and other cities in the West than in Eastern cities, but I venture the prediction that in three years after opposition is killed, so that it will place prices of meat in the absolute control of those dressed beef barons, the re- sult will be manipulated markets. As to the power of the beef baroms, the butchers have felt it as well as seen it, and I protest that the public will soon have a manifestation of it. It is a humiliating confession, an avowal of the weakness of our governmental sys- tem, a reflection upon the political honesty of the age. I refer to our own Legislature in the year 1889, when our live stock jnspection bill for the State of Missouri was defeated in the Senate by influences and boodle from the beef monopolists, and which was given pub- lcity by the Post-Dispatch. I refer to boodle report of State of Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, where the d-essed beef 10nopolists worked in the same manner and defeated all measures for LIVE STOCK :INSPECTION WITH THEIR MONEY. Such legislators are practic-lly slaves to the money powers. Consumers in the Western States are not paying so high a price for meats as those of the East. There is yet, to a certain extent, a competitive market in cattle, which enables Western butchers to buy the stock or buy their meats from home wholesale butchers. It is different in the East. The dressed beef monopolies control the fresh meat trade east of Pittsburg, and all the New England and Middle States. Meat of the same quality sells there from § to 10 cents per pound higher than it sells in St. Loufs. Ten years ago the farmer vied ATURDAY, JULY 2, 1898. Why these conventions and | it means | The | | with his neighbor in furnishing the finest herd of .ttle for the home mar- kets, ard they, as well as butchers, were prosperous. How changed is the scene. The home narket for the cattle producer has ceased. The butchers of the country have been driven from their trade or converted into mere meat cut- ters, distributors or salesmen for the beef barons, and if this continues a few years longer and the combine carries their scheme the butcher will be finally bounced and the BOY' AND DELIVERY WAGON. WILL DO THE WORK. I claim that the cattle and beef com- bine fight not to cripple, but to anni- hilate. The cry of the dressed beef men a few years ago that we had an over- production of cattle in our country was all bosh, and the cry now of cattle shortage is all rot. The world market regulates the so-called market value. ‘When this market is manipulated and controlled by cliques, combinations, pools, trusts and cotlon speculators, values naturally for the time become the shuttle-cock of gamblers. That the beef barons have and are controlling | the cattle and beef market was proved by Senator Vest and his Congressional committee in 1890, and can be proven again by a proper committee. It has been shown. by Philip Armour’s evi- dence that they are in a ‘“combine,” “trust” or company to fix the prices of beef to the purchaser or consumer, and they have an agreement not to interfere localities. It can be shown now that the combine are opening shops to .un- dersell and ruin.butchers who buy live cattle. They also have a uniform price on their beef and pork products, thus practically destroying all® COMPETITION AMONG . SELVES. Mayor D..R. Francis at the opening of the first Natlonal Convention'of Butchers in St. Louls in 1886 said: “A sad day it will be for this country when | the dressed beef interests are in the hands of a few moneyed kings.” The time is nearly at hand and ‘apparently the sad day will scon be here. I claim that a sad day has dawned on Ameri- can politics when our legislation, State .and national, is dominated, guided and controlled by monopolistic influences. This is my apology for earnestness in these matters. and wvhen representa- tives of the people refuse redress they should seek it themselves. The cure for these evils are: Opposition in all trades against monopolists;- competi- tion in the butchers' trade by the erec- tion of abattoirs In the different centers. All that is required is intelligent leader- | ship and education, for the industrial | war in this country Is more gerfous and | threatening to the Iiberties of the na- | tion than was the struggle of our fore- fathers one hundred. years ago.. The struggle was then against the domina- i tion and the taxing ‘right of another country, while now it is against the { domination ‘and taxing power of co- operative industrial moenopoly.—Chris D.

McKay of the Jesuit Collega at Santa Clara is conducting a retreat for the Sisters.of St. Mar‘(“s Hospital, which will be extended to the perfod of eight days. 'Ikhc faculty of the St. Ignatius College has determined upon July 5 as the date for the reopening of the class of rudi- ments and the various other preparatory classes for the coming term. In order to thoroughly prepare students desirous of entering the college but who will be hin- dered from so doing by a deficiency in some particular study classes will be or- ganized at once and the necessary studies outlined and thoroughly taught. Appli- cation for admission to the college, whether for the preparatory, grammar or Rhigher classes, should be made as soon as possible. — re———— The Chief of Police Refuses to wur- render Murderer Haynes’ Gold. Chief Lees made a rather feeble an- swer yesterday to the order igsued by Judge Hunt directing him to appear be- fore him and show cause why he should not be punished for refusing to relinquish his grip on the money found in the cabin of Theodore Park Haynes, the murderer of Lieutenant Burke. A short time ago Attorneys J. N. E. Wilson and Eddie Bweeney, who defended Haynes, secured judgment against their client for the amount held by Lees. Not- withstanding that the court ordered Lees to turn over the money to them, he per- sistently refused to do so. Yesterday he appeared before Judge Hunt and feebly attempted to explain why he would not let_go_the sack of gold. . He declared that the money was held by him as evidence in the case of Haynes, notwlths!tmding that nelther in the Police Court nor the Superior Court was the is- sue of the murderer's gold raised. After hearing his weak answer Judge Hunt took the case under advisement un- til next Friday. —_—————— To Help Foresters. and Companions of America met last night in the Alcazar building to take fur- ther steps in the matter of providing for the soldier Foresters and their depend- ents. A number of courts and circles gave notive of a willingness to help in the cause, and as an earnest thereof several contributed the sum of $5 each to the nu- cleus fund. It is probable that at the meeting to be held next Friday a perma- nent organization will be effected.
