FRAUD ORDER FOR TRUSTS.
Postal Man Suggests Novel Weapon
Against Price Jugglers.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept l0.--Radical, in
deed, was the stand taken by u S. Dis
trict Attorney John II. Jordan, in adj
dressing the Association Of Supervising
Postal Employees, when he asserted that
the issuance Of fraud order by the
government against the iugglers of prices
Of foodstuffs would solve the matter of
checking the high cost Of living.
"When we consider the juggling Of
prices Of food products BY capitalists
who Sit in Chicago or Elgin, H.. and BY
the use Of the United States mails dis.
seminate information which causes the
prices Of meat and butter to rise and
keep on rising above the reasonable sell
ing value Of the product" he said, Il
tell you it is high time that the govern
ment issued a fraud order against the
beef barons Of Chicago and the little
band Of butter magnates who sit and
fix prices for the entire country.
Something must be done to place a
restraint upon the unjust increasing of
the cost OF living, and the time has
come. in my opinion, for Uncle Sam
to step in and refuse to be party to
the schemes by which the very means
Of existence is placed at an exorbitant
price,
