There is not a grain of comfort or encouragement in the meat situation that confronts Mr. and Mrs. Manhat- tan and their relatives in Brooklyn and the suburbs to-day. Prices of meats to the consumer are three cents a pound higher than they were two weeks ago and are still going up. ‘The retailers and the packers are in @ispute as to the cause, but there can be no doubt about the effect. House- holders are digging down deeper in their pocketbooks and are buying less meat. Vegetables and fish are helping Gut some, while the cereal factories of the West are working overtime to} supply the demand for their food prod- wets. | although the packers, tell distressing | tales of floods and other pesky things in the West that are raising prices, the retailers claim that the Meat Trust| is at the bottom of the whole trouble. | They say that {f “Uncle Joe’ Cannon would look the other way while the | platform tinkers out at Chicago tn-| ferted a plank demanding that the duty be taken off foreign meuts, the Republictns could even nominate Fair- banks and sweep the country.

But what are the retailers going to do about it?

Western conditions are | only used by the packers as an excuse for putting the screws on the people. “As a consequence, I believe that many retail batchers will have to go out of business. Consumers cannot afford io| pay such high prices and naturally they | t hard pushed as it is, with bad bus! erally, and many of them will not be able to weather the present Increace. ‘The only salvation for the people of this | country Is to have the duty taken off| foreign meats.
