BUFFALO EVENING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1910. STOP TO THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Cattle Inspector Rast Declares Prices Will Continue to Go Up- Fears for Moderate-Salary Men. LOOKS LIKE A HARD WINTER FOR MEAT-EATERS "Hogs are higher than I have ever known them to be at this time of year and I've been acquainted with meat prices for 30 years," said Cattle Inspector John Rast. "It the prices keep on using, what as looks man probable, I mod- capnot figure out the on a erate salary is going to do. "Hogs are selling at $10.05 a hundredweight at the yards.

Pork loins retail about 20 cents a pound. When hogs went to $11 last spring it was the highest price on record since war times. They ought to be selling cheap now, but they are not and it looks as if all records will be broken this winter. Everything High. "Steers are selling at $7.60 a bun- dredweight, live.

Lamb 18 high. Dressed veal is worth 14 cents a pound and poultry is away up." "What is the cause?" "I can't say. The price of pork is what tells the story about meats. It it is high 1eat 18 costly. I believe we are doomed to extremely high prices this winter.

From now till the end of December it may not be so bad because the beginning of winter is when the hogs come to market. That 1s when the raisers sell them off be cause they cannot run at large and help feed themselves in winter. Few Come to Market. not many are being sent to market now and the indications are there will be a scarcity the beginning of next year. When prices were high last spring the farmers grabbed at the dollars and sent even their brood sows to the yards for sale.

The result is they coudn't raise as many hogs this summer, not in this section of the country, anyhow." From the retail standpoint the housewife knows that all meats are going up in price and pork especially. Butchers say they have to pay more and the packers pass the blame back to the farmers and hog and cattle raisers. The retailers say they look for much higher prices before the winter is over.

William P. Taylor, giving his home 88 Buffalo, his age as 19, and his 00- cupation as that of a student, was arrested on Delaware street, charged with violating the speed ordinance by driving his touring car at the rate of 22 miles an hour.

Yesterday found the officers on Delaware street prepared for the worst.

Early in the evening the officer stationed near the city line espied a touring car, carrying five young men, approaching from the direction of Bufa rapid rate. The officer at the other end of the measured space signaled as the automobile passed into the city at a speed that looked suspicious. A stop watch was brought into play and the speed of the automobile was computed at 2 miles an hour over a measured distance. The officer at the lower end of the stretch acordingly flagged the driver of the machine and he and his panions were taken to police headquarters where he was detained until his mother, arrived from Buffalo in rea telephone call to furnish bail for his appearance for trial today. LABOR ENJOYS DAY DESPITE WEATHER Good Parade is Feature of the Workingmen's Own Particular Holiday.

Amid weather conditions, which would dampen the ardor of the most ardent, between 5000 and 6000 men of the trades and labor unions of Buttalo participated in the parade out Main street and Genesee street to Jetferson street and back Broadway yesterday afternoon. Amid the same weather conditions thousands of persons watched and cheered the marching enthusiasts. It was bad enough for the marchers and even worse. for the spectators. Heat and humidity, combined with sultry atmosphere and foggy drizzle to accomplish the discomfort of those who had come to cheer their breadwinners in the parade.

The parade itself was remarkable for its size when the weather was considered, Here it was that the training of the water front unions came to the fore. Accustomed every day in their work to endure hardships and weather discomforts such as would discourage almost any other kind of worker, the water front unions were out en masse and seemed not to know that the weather WAS not of the balmiest and brightest ever to be encountered on dry land. Sergt. Erion took the place of Chief Regan at the head of the police platoon which led the parade. The chief followed in an automobile with sev.

Several floats attracted particular attention. The moving picture men moved "nickleodeon" along the streets. Telephone linemen kept the line open on a miniature systen installed on their font, where "hello" girls made the connections and called "number." The bellermakers made a boiler and threw hot rivets around to the alarm of the more timid. A coal wagon full of littlo girls was effective for the coal drivers.

It WAS not exactly a float, but it attracted attention principally because 1t WAS spelled "Sufferage." When it was all over the crowds repaired to Carnival Court.
