Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wages and Family Budgets in the Chicago Stockyard District: With Wage Statistics From Other Industries Employing Unskilled Labor
This table indicates that while in Chicago the receipts of cattle, including calves, and the receipts of hogs remained about stationary during the past 18 years, the receipts of its western competitors have increased about 50 per cent; and while the receipts of sheep in Chicago have increased about 7 5 per cent, the receipts of its three leading competitors farther west have increased over 3 50 per cent.
Thus it is clear that practically all the increase in the Slaughter ing business is taking place in cities west of Chicago, and that there is little likelihood of any great expansion of the slaughtering industry here in future years.
