...Chicago last week Retail Butchers William Kessler, Charles Kessler and Louis Feldman sued U. S. meat packers for some $33,000,000.

The iron works had actually turned out a few crude stokers, using a feeder worm similar to that in a meat chopper. Several months after the iron works changed hands, inquiries began to straggle in from people who had seen the stoker in operation.
