DULUTH PIRATES BURN FOOD
TO KEEP UP PRICES
DULliTH, Minn., Jan. 5.—Large
quantites of good vegetables, eggs
and other produce are being sent
by local commission houses to be
consumed at the city incinerator
weekly.
This was the amazing news re
vealed by the News Tirbune and,
although apparently incredible, it
is a fax;t which has been admitted
by the commission men themselves.
Mayor Magney has been conduct
ing an investigation of this matter
for some time, with the object of
obtaining concrete evidence before
exposing the unpardonable practice.
On a recent visit to the incinerat
or the mayor observed that quanti
ties of wholesome onions were
being destroyed, and upon inquiry
was informed that such was a fre
quent occurence, that such especi
ally on Monday mornings were im
mense supplies of produce similarly
OLD AGE RETIREMENT
PENSIONS ENDANGERED
Many old employees who have
been counting upon retirement pen
sions promised by their employers
at the end of long service are now
in danger of losing this privilege.
The “Engineers’ Journal” reports
that the New York Central railroad
plans to hold all employees poss
ible at work by withholding their
right to retire on pension at 70
years of age, unless physically un
fit. Such arbitrary denial of pen
(sions at the will of private cmploy
! ers, for whatever purpose, it is be
| ing pointed out, makes the enact
ment of legislation to provide defi
nite social insurance an mmediate
necessity, and emphasizes the war
time request of trade union fede
rations of England, France Belgium
and Italy that all countries not yet
having health insurance laws pass
them “within the shortest period.”
disposed of.
Immediately after the mayor’s
visit he received a communication
from the Fitssimmons-Palmer com
pany stating that the latter would
be willing to senu its partly de
cayed produce to some depot desig
nated by the mayor for the purpose
of having the edible stuff separated
for use as may be directed.
The commissison firm evidently
had learned of the activity of Mag
ney, and had undertaken this me
thod of diverting attention from its
ruthless destruction of foodstuffs.
The fact of the matter is, that
prevailing prices of produce on the
Michigan St. Commission row have
been unreasonable higher than
those obtaining in the Twin Cities,
in many cases from 50 to 100 per
cent greater. One way of main
taining these abnormal prices has
been to keep stocks down to a mi
nimum by destroying the surplus
amounts, the manipulation serving
to establish the high prices.
The Michigan street monopoly
of commission houses has in the
past made it impossible for produ
cers to dispose of their wares direct
to the consumers. This monopoly
has not only robbed the people of
Duluth, but also has extended its
control to the iron ranges and
northern part of the state, where
the consumers aro gouged by the
exorbitant prices demanded for
foodstuffs.
