THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, SINCLAIR BRANDS PACKERS’ TRUST WORST OF ALL; . ROBBED THE SHIPPERS, DEALERS AND CONSUMERS T HE American people now pare be fore them one of che greatest op- '' portunltlea of their lives; one of [fee criminal trusts, their »nemles--*nd the very worst of them—hss been Bhughi uIth the goods. n|t Is bed enough to levy an unjust •as upon the coal supply of the whole community, compelling the poor freer.’ in winter, or to levy such a tax upon transportation or upon oil; but wor.-1 ot all Is to deprive the people of theit food supply, for food Is the chlef- aat if their necessities. That Is the Beef Trust. It opposes the people In many ways. It . Meets rebates and It charges the •liiiu er for Ice which It never uses. It drive, the smalt butcher out of busl- new. It has ruined the stock raising In dustry In whole states. It has raised the prl.e of every man's beefsteak live cents par pound In the last live years. And all this Is bad enough: but when the public has paid for the food It gets pni-nn Instead. It hss been getting It for thirty years. The licet Trust magnates were so ueed to selling It that they, never dreamed that any one would care. Then Frealdent Roosevelt sent two of his personal friends to investigate, They heard about It and they set to work to clean up, as I have positive knowledge, direct from the men who did the cleaning. Hut you cannot clean thirty years of tilth In ten days. You cannot change the habits of a lifetime, no matter how much you may want to. The president's commission were honeet men and they went everywhere, working diligently and faithfully, and they got absolute, positive and Irrefut able evidence that the American people were being deliberately and systemat ically fed upon poison. Dead and dleeaeed animals were be ing ueed. Every portion of the ani mals were being ueed—the skins, the necks, the ears. Old meats were be ing doctored over—having come back rejected from every corner of the civ ilised world. Meats which were falsely labeled were dyed with chemicals. Meats which should have been amoked were painted Instead to save the trou ble. All this the commission found, and It stated It to the president. A bill had been Introduced to reform Written especially for The Georgian by the author of “The Jungle',’’ the novel which laid bare the stock yard atrocities. By UPTON SINCLAIR. conditions. The packers had their lob by all ready In one day, and they had caused one thousand telegrams to be sent to the president from all over the country. Then suddenly they learned of what was In the report, and their opposition collapsed. Every power they could muster was set at the task of keeping It back; every power which they could command Is being used this minute to keep It back. All their lob byists ara recalling the memory of all tha campaign funds that they have ever contributed. The poor, helpless stock raisers, whom they have under their thumb, have been lerrllled by a drop In prices, caused by the discovery of the activi ties of tbagg pirates of eanMna Therefore all their senators and repre sentatives are stirred up. The report must be kept back. Is the word. To accomplish this they are willing to sub mit to a bill which saddles the 14,000,- 000 coat of Inspection upon them, al though auch a proposal had never been heard of until I suggested the Idea to Senator Beveridge. They submit to this bill because they know, when the storm has blown over, they can use It all as an'advertisement. They can kill all their diseased cattle In their local slaughter houses, where the Federal Inspectors have no authority. All this beautiful program depends upon one achievement—the suppression of the Nelll-Iteynolds report. What other president besides Theo dore Roosevelt would take the trouble to send a secret embassy Into Packing- town to'get the exact truth? How could any Beef Trust magnate be ex pected to provide against such a con tingency? It. was unnatural, mon strous, altogether against the rules. The next president will play the game according to- the rules. There will be no more real Investigations. Already you get rumors of the other kind of an Investigation. Reef Trust representatives are beginning to talk of a "real, worth-while'’ congressional Investigation—a holiday party during v a all m time. ,\ re-ohitl m will passed, and the packers will know all about It a month before hand. All the slaughter houses will be cleaned, pol (shod and scrubbed .with Armour's •sylvan soap." “A soap with a send ment," Mr. Armour rails It, and It Is gathered from the filth of Rubby Creek, an open aewer of the parking h . i-c All the workingmen will put on new- white aprons and will have their hands and faces washed under orders from the office. Packlngtown will be turned Into Spotless Town, and the congroa slonal committee will march through with banners flying and the bands playing, "W« Never Done Nothin’ to Nobody.” So ths muck-rake man will be burled In his muck. The fears of the public will be set at rsst and the condemned meat Industry will go merrily onward again—1400,000,000 worth to Eu rope alone, and how much to America the Beef Trust alons can tall.

Evidently realising this, ths commis sioners hsd no desire to go through ths form of useless voting and wrang ling, and simply decided to “pass up" the matter.

New Tork, June IS.—Tha suicide of Benjamin Howard, of “The Rollick Ing Girl" company, who was found dead on a bench In Riverside drive, was Iss* due to the unrequited love of a certain actress, according to Broadway wiseacres, than to disappointment over the reported reconciliation of Wilson Mlsner and his bride, the former Mr*. Charles Yerkes. Howard, according to his own admis sion and to the knowledge of other the atrlcat people who were welcomed to the Yerkee mansion, was a frequent visitor there. He had a very eweet nympatbetlc tenor voice and Mrs. Yerkea woa particularly fond of hla singing. Mre. Yerkee hid a penchant for sing' era, and her neighbors say that It was not unusual to hear popular ballade sung by baritone and tenor voices float ing from the (Mini room of the Yerkes mansion until I or 4 o'clock In tha morning. Howard was the moat popular of Mn. Yerkaa' clientele and he waa per haps her most frequent caller until Mr. Mlener appeared. Howard regained the entre to the Yerkee house again subsequent to the marriage. It was after Mlzner went to Washington to attend to some peraontl lance, “there was nothing dojng." And the several aspirant" for the Juicy plum were stUI left nigh In the air. When Crialrman Terry reached the heed of elections In the general order of business, It la understood he called out; -Elections of office™." A Quick Response,.‘.'Adjourn." There .wax a quick response..but.It had nothing to do with elections. Thera was a motion to adjofurn. It received a quick aecond. The sentiment to "hands off" of the captaincy election waa unanimous, and the motion to adjourn- carried. The commissioners picked up their hate and canes, those who carry them, and filed out pf the room and wended their way homeward. And untlt the commtastoneri can get together and solve the civil service When the commissioners will be able to get together In a question hard of solution. According to their own state, mints, they are as much at sea as though they were drifting In mld-At- lentil- In a canoe. When asked Tuesday when a cap tain would be elected, Chairman Terry Bded: suppose one will be elected at the next meeting." Investigations Evaporate. Leary of civil service, the commis sion appears to have grown equally tired of Inveetlgatloni. Three were scheduled for Monday night, but the trio evaporated In unexpected fashion. On motion of Mayor Woodward, the cases against Station Sergeants Tur ner and Mitchell, accused of allowing Edna Rexford. the former chorus girl, to use the police station as a dressing room, and Detective Lockhart, charged with conduct unbecoming an ofilcer, were dismissed without hearing. The mayor said he didn't thtnk there was anything In either of the cues, and the other commissioners agreed with him readily. Policemen W. O. Phillips and H. E. Whitaker were tried on the charge of being Intoxicated and were discharged from the force. Ofilcer Whitaker pleaded guilty to Intoxication while In uniform at tha recent police picnic at Pearl Spring*. During the meeting Captain English created somewhat of a atlr by refer- ring to the alleged misconduct at the police picnic. Boer* and That Pienle. 'I would like to know something of that picnic,” said Captain English, have heard It persistently rumored on the ttreeta and other commissioners mey have heard It also, that there was considerable Intemperance on the picnic and among members of the force at that. Several clttxens have ap proached me on the subject. I would like for the chief to give us some Im formation about the picnic.” Chief Jennings replied: "Captain, these reports hev* beet brought to my attention and I am hav Ing tha matter thoroughly Invest! gated." Tha proposed contract with tha Gamewell Electric Company for the Installation of a new atgnal aystem fir tha police department wu Introduced and referred to the city council, the discussion bringing from Commission er Oldknow severe criticism of the city • electrician, Fred R. Mile*. A motion wu mad* that the contract be re ferred to the chief end chairman, to gether with Superintendent Jeff Wright, of the police department, and City Electrician Mile*, for their approval. Commissioner Oldknow objected, ex claiming: Roast for Fred Mites. "I don't think the city electrician should hav* anything to do with thla matter. Ha would know nothing about It. anyway. I am thoroughly disgusted with him. He Is the weakest 9 have aver even.” Tha comm Is at oner made no explana tion of hla criticism. business. When Mliner returned he found the doors of his bride's home closed agalnat him. Two telegrams throw light on the situation: “Benjamin Howard: The Idiotic, pa thetically lmbecllelc lies you told Mrs. Mlsner reached me today. Apologise and retract by wire, or will make an example of you and teach you to re member volcano. Make your loans hereafter of men and Interfere In my personal affairs again at your peril. (Signed) "GEORGE P. CRATER.' To this Howard replied: "George P. Crater: Statement to Mr*. Mlxner wu quoted to me In De troit by George Howard, as emanating from you. Regret If I was misinformed. (Signed) “BENJAMIN HOWARD." The significance of these telegrams may need explanation. George P. Crater, a Broadway character, who wears dlnmond setting In the gold fill ings of his tseth, is a brother of the actress, Alleen Crater, once the wife of Wilson Mlsner. Although Mlsner and Miss Crater hsd separated and were divorced, Crater appeared her practical manager or best friend, under cover, for Mlsner In hla matrimonial exploit. His chagrin resulted when the doors of the Yerkes mansion were closed against Mlsner because Howard told Mrs. Mlxner that her young hus band had never been divorced from Miss Carter and waa. therefor*, not legally able to marry Mrs. Yerkes. communication from L.
