FURIOUS HOUSEKEEPERS.

The women of the working classes in Greater New York have taken up armsin a striking manner against the inordinately high price of meat. Ever since the collapse of the meat boycott move-' ment. early in March, prices advanced by leaps and bounds, until at the end of April they had ■ .reached an unprecedented height. The women attributed the famine prices to tho "insatiable greed," first of the Beef Trust, and secondly of the retail butchers. On the "East Side" of New York recently the Jewish women started attacking the Kosher meat shops, pouring paraffin over the supplies and assailing the butchers with hatpins. Four hundred sh'ops shut in consequence, and now the movement has spread, to the Christian communities. Meat riots are such 1 common occurrence that the pnlico are unablo to keep • a record of them. According to estimates, fully 800,000 'people in Greater New York have foresworn the eating of meat. Outside almost every butcher's shop along the entire EastSide, as well as at Harlem. Williamsburg and other suburbs, crowds of angrily gesticulating women were to be seen one day recently. All the people they caught buying moat suffered immediate punishment. At Hnrlem a score of women carrying paraffin cans swarmed in ime.shop. The butcher drove them out wifh a ljorsewhip, but he tripped, whereon the women seized the whip and beat the shopman.
