COST Of LIVING
PROBE CONTINUES
Chamber of Commerce Com.
mittee 10 Hear Testimony
Of Merchants.

That the work Of the special commit
tee Of the Chamber of Commerce in
vestigating the high cost of living in
Washington is not of a perfunctory ma
ture. - considered evident from the ac-
eomplishments Of the committee since
its creation several weeks ago.
The determination Of this small body
10 get at the root of the eviT' and TO
bring about its remedy has been forci-
bly, shown by the way in which the in-
uuiries are being made.
IT a special meeting in the Chamber
Of Commerce rooms tomorrow afternoon
retail merchants from the different sec
tons Of the city will be questioned re-
garding their respective businesses.
Men representing produce and grocery
dealers, house furnishing merchants. and
sEoe merchants will be heard Several
real estate experts have been asked to
appear and tell the committee regard
ing the prices Of rentals and sales.
Within a few days the committee eX-
poets 10 report 10 the chamber regard
ing its recent investigation OF the sub
lect OF the cold storage Of meats
produce and other food products. which
form Of commercialism has come in for
much criticism during the high cost of
living discussion.
According 10 ore member OF the COM
mittce. there is need for immediate
remedy IN the regulations Of cold stor-
age plants in Washington. This mem
Der is satisfied that the committee Will
report favOrinE the restriction OF cold
! storage plants TO purely warehouse
I purposes only, and prohibiting the own
ership OF the articles stored, by the
storage company itself
II IS also considered likely that the
committee viii recommend that all
food articles stored be subject TO dates,
and that the dates be displayed. The
committee has expressed itself as be-
| ing convinced OF the necessity OF regu-
| lating the cold storage business by
| means of a Federal law.
