FOOD TRUST WAR ON
M'REYNoLDs ORDERS COUNTRY
WIDE INVESTIGATION OF COLD
STORAGE COMBINE.
PROSECUTION TO FOLLOW
Attorney General Points to Cost Of
Eggs and Attempt of Dealers to
Ward OFF Inquiry by sIashins
Prices-sIIls Ready In Congress.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The admins
tration's first attack on the food trust
was taken on Monday when Attorney
General McReynolds issued orders for
a countrywide investigation of the
cold-storage combine which is be-
lieved to be responsible for the pres
ent high price OF eggs.
In addition, several bills are before
congress, and early action regulating
the cold-storage combine is expected.
The investigation ordered by Attor-
ney General McReynolds will extend
into every judicial district where
there are federal officials. They are
to get complete figures and all the
other evidence obtainable bearing on
the charge that cold-storage men are
Withholding eggs and other food prod
ucts from the market In an effort to
raise and sustain prices.
The investigators will report on the
number Of eggs in storage. the price
at which they went In storage, the
length Of tiNe stored. and the price
at which they were sold when taken
out. They will ascertain also approx
mately the number of eggs produced
in their respective districts.
81 want to know the inside OF this
thing" said the attorney general. He
is already in possession Of informa-
tion showing some attempts on the
part of the cold-storage houses to cor
ner the egg and vegetable supply in
their communities. AS showing that
the cold-storage people admit they
have plenty to fear, it was stated at
the department of justice that some
dealers had dropped egg prices in the
hope that the investigation might be
averted.
II the investigation of the depart
ment sustains the evidence already
brought to the attention Of the attor-
ney general he will bring prosecutions
both under the pure-food law and the
antitrust act Dealers selling eggs
out of storage for fresh eggs can be
reached under the pure-food act for
alleged misbranding.
There is no doubt that the cold
storage of eggs is responsible for their
high prices" said Senator Bristow.
The eggs which we are now eating
at 45 and 80 cents dozen were
bought for 18 and 20 cents by the cold
storage warehouses. The tariff law
has proved fake. SO far as eggs are
concerned. The cold-storage houses
may be able to buy eggs few cents
cheaper per dozen because of the
tariff reduction, but I don't see that
the consumers are getting them any
cheaper"

Their Actions Not in Accord

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus. While praising the
work of the state board Of ad.

there have been some transactions not
strictly in accord with the legal re-
quirements. He says that funds have
been used for the construction Of
buildings which were not specifically
appropriated for the purpose, but he
says he has no doubt but that the
board acted in good faith in its action,
although the use of the funds created
techinal discrepancy.
He says that the board has over
looked submitting to the governor for
approval the salaries of IL heads of
institutions. He also says that the
competitive bidding law should be
more closely followed. Occasionally
the board has chance to buy such
commodities as -four and sugar in
large quantities at bargain prices, and
when opportunity for this has oc-
Cured purchase would be made with.
out advertising for bids. hundreds OF
dollars being saved in consequence.
The examiner hands out some COM

accomplished much for the good of the
state. The system of accounting and
reporting installed by Fiscal Super
visor E. f. Brown is commended.
Purchasing Agent Lyons is given a
bouquet, the statement being made
that his department is systematically

Asks Board Be ousted.

Columbus. = Charging that the
Wood county election board was
guilty of malfeasance in refusing
to allow names TO appear on party
tickets and also on a Citizens ticket,
Ruxton S. Sweet of Bowling Green, O.,
in a complaint filed with Secretary of
State Graves, asked that the board be
removed. Secretary Graves will go to
Bowling Green to make an investiga-
ton. He has sent copies of the COM
plant to the board and has requested
that arrangements be made to have
witnesses appear before him. The
whole city is said to be aroused over
the situation growing out of the
boards course. The members OF the
board whose official scalps are sought
are Charles H. Draper, George M.
Brubaker, Henry Archer and George
Bickmyer, two being Democrats and
two Republicans. 1t is alleged that
they were influenced by partisan mo-
tives in barring the names from the
ballot.
Sweet, who filed the complaint, was
victim of the election dispute. He
was candidate for city auditor on
the Republican, Progressive and Citi-
zens' tickets, but was removed from
the party tickets and placed on the
Citizens ticket without his consent, SO
he alleges. The Democrats won as a
result of the boards ruling. Several
candidates withdrew from. party tick
efs in favor of fhe Cifizans' fickef and
they were removed entirely from the
field of candidates on the ground that
the petitions nominating candidates on
the Citizens ticket had not been en-
tered properly.
The question to be determined by
Secretary Graves is whether the board
acted in good faith. He says that he
would not have advised the course it
pursued.
