GROCERS NOT APPRAISED
They Still cherish a Grievance Against
the Paramount People.

The Topeka Retail Grocers' associa-
ton is still under arms over recent
Paramount news pictures which, they
allege, show up the grocer in a bad
light. Roger w. Babson, the statisti-
clan, has answered a letter the asso-
citation sent him and one paragraph
particularly arouses the indignation of
the Topekans. 1t follows:
I'm other words, when the prices of
raw materials go up, we will say that
your profits have been cut down, and
that the working man should not COM
plain on account of increased prices"
The association Immediately wrote
to William w. Hodkinson, president of
the Paramount Pictures corporation,
thereby filing another protest.
The film referred to contained a
table which is said to have maligned
the grocers. 1t showed the costs of
foodstuffs to the consumer in COM
parison to the cost of raw materials.
John ]. Ryan, secretary of the Nation
al Grocers association, has taken the
matter up with Hodkinson also.
