Federal Officials Receive In

Cause of Advance.

Increases in the prices Of foodstuffs
in FL Paso. with a view TO ascertainlnS
whether they are the result OF unlaW-
full COORDINATION, are TO be investigated
Immediately. according to instructions
received by local federal officials. The
inquiry is 10 be a thorough one and is
being made in connection with an order
Of attorney general McReynolds for a
nationwide Investigation Of alleged
combinations TO boost prices Of food
stuffs
Recently there has been a consider
able rise locally in the price Of the
three principal articles Of food, namely,
meat, flour and sugar. In order for any
action 10 be taken, however, it must
first be proved that this is not the re-
suit of natural causes but has been
brought about by an unlawful cOmbi
nation. Besides this, il must be proved
that the unlawful combination is at
least interstate before the government
can act, although there are state laws
against such a combination
Consumers, retailers and wholesalers
will be seen by the local government
officials in the course OF the inYestiga-
ton. Large consumers, such as the
hotels, viii be asked regarding the
prices Of food Local dealers report
that since the opening Of the European
war. the rise in prices Of a number Of
fOodstuffs has been general throughout
the country and point TO the practical
cessation Of European trade as the
cause.
