ceivers and there is no more fixing OF
prices for the week.
The small retailers OF the East Side
couldn't accommodate themselves TO these
new conditions. They liked to toll their
| customers that all the wholesalers were
charging so much. and that all the re-
tailers were charging just enough more TO
make II worth their while to be in bust
ness. But Baff saw how he could use the
auction company 10 boost his retail bust
ness. Being the largest OF the Independent
| dealers and having started the fight which

one Western shipper. he had no difficulty
In getting carload or two Of live fowl

Having obtained such supply. he

Ban was bidding strong everybody thought
| the poultry market was hourishng and
! other receivers bid accordingly. The re-

! the Chicken pullers' hated him. They
knew that the East Side supports men
who will assault and kill for a price
Hands just Over the Man.
The way was open for a murder that
would end it all and the police believe
they have their hands just over the man
who arranged the job.
