COMES To SUDDEN end
Legal Limitations and Caution of Price
Conspirators Defeat Purpose.

The much heralded government crusade
to end the high cost of living has come
to an untimely end. It still Is possible
there will a be a few scattered prosecu-
tions for conspiracy to keep up prices IN
certain cities, but wholesale arrests and
prosecutions cannot take place.
That there has been a general conspir-
acy to keep up prices Is not doubted, but
the Department Of Justice has discov-
cred 1t cannot reach those responsible.
They have been careful not to violate
any laws dealing with interstate COM
merce. Neither have they violated the
anti trust laws, excepting in isolated in
stances, so far as now can be ascer-
tained.
In nearly every instance where agents
OF the department have Investigated they
have found that II any crime was COM
mitted II was against State and not
against national laws.
The department decided to ask Con-
gress for additional legislation, but when
the situation was canvassed 1t was found
that the powers Of Congress also were
limited by the Constitution. AS a result
1t now Is admitted that there is little
that the Federal government can do.
However. advices to the Department of
Agriculture and the Federal Trade Com
mission indicate there has been a gradual
falling of in prices of foodstuffs. 1t is
believed this decline will continue.
Agents Of the department are under
orders to cooperate with local authori-
ties everywhere. They may be able to
prevent any further general conspiracy
to force UP prices, as it is admitted 1t
was the activity OF the Federal govern
ment which caused the reductions in
prices now in evidence.
