MOORE SCORES FREIGHT
RATES; CHARGES FAIL To
EXPLAIN HIGH FOOD Cost

"Atlanta's freight rates are too high
all along the line says Harry T
Moore, head Of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau. and before the Interstate
Commerce Commission now is case
in which We hope for favorable de
cision. which will cut practically ali
freight rates into the city.
The rate on flour from Ohio River
points, for instance, is As cents bar
rel With this kind of rate, -four
ought to be cheaper in Chicago than
here"
Some Facts Not Explained
Atlanta's freight rates, however, do
not explain some of the differences in
the price of various commodities
mentioned in the Government stats
tics which tend to prove Atlanta one
Of the most expensive cities for the
housekeeper in the United states.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau, for
instance. quotes the rate on fresh
beef as 90 cents per 100 pounds from
Chicago to Atlanta. This is a comb
nation Of a 17-cent rate to Cincin-
natl. the river crossing, and as cents
from the Ohio River 10 Atlanta.
Range in Butter Peculiar.
Yet the Governments figures show
the average price of sirloin is half
cent higher in Cincinnati than in At
lanta, and the average price of round
steak is % cents in Cincinnati against
20 cents in Atlanta, Atlanta paying,
be it remembered, something more
than a half cent pound freight in
excess of Cincinnati.
More peculiar is the range of price
on butter. The Government quotes
butter as selling at ~ cents in Gin
cinnati and 40 cents in Atlanta. The
freight rate on butter from Chicago
and the Elgin district to Atlanta is
S132 per hundredweight To Cincin-
natl it is "a cents. Atlanta, then, IS
paving almost cent more in freight
on every pound Of butter. and selling
1t cents cheaper than Cincinnati.
Getting Less for Meats.
Atlanta, according to the Govern
ment figures is selling ham cheaper
than Chicago whence most Of that
meat comes. Yet Atlanta pays a As
cent rate on cured meats from Chi
cago. Cincinnati, with a 12-cent rate,
is supposed to be charging IL cents
more per pound.
Examination of the freight rates
actually seems to show that Atlanta
is getting less for its meats than cit
les with cheaper freights. which only
increases the puzzle.

Retailers Deny Their
Profit Margin Is High.

Atlanta can not blame the high cost
of living on the retail merchants in
the opinion Of leading wholesalers.
Retailers in Atlanta are not charg-
ing an excessive margin Of profit.
says w. A Albright vice president Of
the Oglesby Grocery Company Some
few Of them, by the closest possible
management and the most conserva-
tive business methods are making
money. More are not.
Il do not think prices here are ex-
oessive. considering what things cost
by the time they arrive in the city.
The cost OF doing business. retail, has
increased possibly 100 per cent In a
quarter century in Atlanta. Rents
are much higher The public de
mands cleaner, more attractive stores.
Though probably worth it. it costs
money to keep an immaculate gro
Gerry. Expensive fixtures mean great
ly increased investment
Then there is the matter OF de-
livery. In the old days q negro
