WHOLESALERS
DENY RAISING
PRICE OF MEAT

With charges being made in Phila-
delphia and other cities. that whole
sale met dealers we're restricting the
shipments of beef and other meats
into the East for the purpose Of boom
ing prices, Wholesale dealers In this
city deny that they have taken ad-
vantage OF the food conditions In the
west II was said by a representa-
tive Of Swift and Company that their
shipments we're delayed but one day.
and that no increase had been made.
although for the past few months lit
tie profit was realized on meats
handled by them.
In speaking Of the prices charged
here, a representative OF the Swift
company said that western pork was
being sold by his company for II
cents on the loin and beef had reached
10 1-2 cents a pound The real trou-
BILE he said was that the supply was
not meeting the demand coupled with
the fact that everyone wanted the
best cuts of beef. which represented
but 22 per cent OF a carcass. and the
dealers were compelled to sell the
poorer cuts at a reduced pnce ana TO
put the additional price on the choice
cuts
Retailers. however, contend that
prices are being increased. and In
speaking of this, one dealer said:
why. Il is an outrage the way the
wholesalers are putting up the price.
! know OF several dealers who. dur
ing the past winter. were practically
forced out of business owing to the
high prices charged by the whole
salers. One of them is now working

Many housewives who were in the
markets yesterday were complaining
of the price OF meats. and one of them
said to a reporter:
1T used TO be that we could go to
market and get meats and other arti-
cles for a price fair both to the deal
err and TO the consumer, but now it
is almost impossible to get anything
