MEAT PRICES DECLINE
AS FOOD PROBE STARTS
q. s. Attorney at Chicago Promises
Prosecution to Any Guilty Of
Unlawful Practices.

CHICAGO, August 17.-Coincident
with the opening today of the special
investigation here into the advance in
prices on foodstuffs. cut meats at the
stock yards declined 25 to 80 cents a
hundred wholesale. This is said to
mean a retail declined of about l cent
a pound. 1t was expected that the
recession in prices was due to re-
ceipts of hogs and cattle nearly dou-
BILE those of week ago.
James H. Wilkerson. United States
district attorney, was prepared to
serve subpoenas on men wanted to
testify before the federal grand jury.
The district attorney said he would
prosecute heads of establishments or
others whom he found violating the
antitrust act by combination or con-
certed action intended to control or
advance prices.
Legislation providing for the punish
ment of dealers who make the Euro
pean war an excuse for advancing food
prices beyond reason was to be con-
sidered at a special meeting of the
municipal market commission. House
wives. representatives of numerous
women's clubs. city. state and county
officials and officials of the federal
government were invited to participate
in the meeting.
