SAYS STATE ENDED
BREAD PRICE RISE
Deputy Attorney General
Expects Action to Fol
low Inquiry.

at Is my belief thai this inyestiga-
tim has acted as a deterrent against
abuses In raising the price OF bread or
what I might term unlawful practices
In fact. the investigation may nave
caused the abandonment Of the causes
that led to the. recent rise IN price
The investigation has caused the laws
Of connection to have fuller effect
and understanding than they wouid
otherwise have had, and believe that
a decrease in price will be brought
about much sooner than might other
wise have been expected"
That was the statement yesterday OF
Deputy Attorney General Becker at the
termination of the Attorney General
Investigation of the advance in price
of bread, -four and wheat, which has
been under way in this city for the
last three weeks.
It is considered extremely unlikely
that prosecution. will follow against
TIE bakers under the Donnelly law TOT
conspiracy in restraint of trade In ad-
vancing the price of bread. While evil
dence has been brought out at times
during the hearings tending to snow
combined effort on the part OF some OF
the large baking concerns IN THIS cry
in advancing the price, 1t is not be-
lieved TO be strong enough to warrant
such proceedings.
It is quite likely, however, that some
action will be sought by the Attorney
General to bring about the dissolution
of at least two large combinations OF
baking concerns in this city.
At the same time alleged cases OF IT.
regular business practices, as indicated
by the evidence avainst the Ward bak-
ing Company and one or two other large
concerns, may be pushed to a deter
minaton. -,
MIR. Becker suggested that the ulti-
mate solution of the price question
might be that the big bakers would GO
back to the 5-cent loaf with the weight
at twelve ounces, provided the pro,
posed Standardization ordinance would
permit the INTO fix that weight.
Herbert B. Lanyon, an automobile,
dealer, of 1l61 Broadway, who entered
the baking field since the advent OF D.
cent bread, testified yesterday that he
had found he could make twelve
ounce loaf of wheat bread for 2.91
cents. with -four at $3.50 barrel and
figuring in all overhead and delivery
charges.
