Levy makes the direct charge that
on Saturday the Chicago packers got
together and laid the plans by which
pork loins were showed up from 20
to 26 cents a pound Stored in their
warehouses, the packers have i'm
mense quantities of frozen pork loins
worthless for the foreign markets
and worth about II cents a pound
when put in storage. When the price
of fresh pork loins went to % cents,
the frozen loins were selling fast at
81 cents.
Levy holds that exactly this sort of
juggling is done by the packers all
along the line from round steak and
rib roast to ham and bacon. He
speaks tomorrow night at the Hotel
LaSalle meeting of Illinois Master
Butchers.
Exactly the same tactics as Eng
land is following now to stop extor-
ton and gambling in food sales must
be followed in America" said Levy.
Supply and demand ought to regu-
late prices. A federal board to have
absolute regulation of meat prices is
needed"
Levy charges that the present Jug
Cling of pork is due to frame-up on
the part of the packers to get rid of
the cold storage pork they had piled
up for European shipment.
'The war has left that pork on
their hands and thew have determined
to get rid of it in this country" said
Levy, land they probably figure that
by making the price of fresh pork so
prohibitive the people will have to
buy cold storage pork and therefore
they will be saved heavy loss.
But I'm not going to handle it.
And 1 find my customers quite in ac-
cord with my views"

day begin an investigation for the
purpose of finding out if there is any

the present crisis, which he believes
unWarranted.

Washington, Aug. 12.-In reso-
Representative Howard of Georgia
called upon the department of justice
to advise what steps are being taken
to prosecute alleged combinations
among dealers to advance the price
of foodstuffs. The house resolution
also asked the department of COM
merce to advise regarding the guam
tity of foodstuffs exported for the
months preceding the European war
and the quantity exported since the
beginning of the war.
The preamble Of the house resolu-
ton recites that the European war is
being used by dealers as an excuse
for boosting prices and that such
claims are false.
Representative Kahn of California
today said that he would offer bill
making it a penal offense for any
two persons, firms or corporations to
enter into an agreement to raise the
price on articles of food.
New York, Aug. 11.-Acting on
complaint of Housewives League,
Dist Atty Whitman today began in
vestigation to determine whether
there was an vehement of conspiracy
in sudden upward movement in food
prices in New York. Meanwhile
dealers kept their goods at the higher
figures and even predicted increases.
According to meat dealers, the
American public will suffer most
when Europe begins offering exor-
bitant prices for our food. Packers
and other producers will accept these
inflated prices and all the American
public can do is to pay the same rates.
This fact led to discussion among
proponents of a fight against the
food trust" for movement looking
toward imposition by congress of an
export tax. Such measure would
swell revenues and take place of
those which il was expected would
