VIII Go Before Grand Jury

1t was soon settled that Burns was
10 20 before the grand jury either to-
day or tomorrow. That body has ex-
pressed a desire to sit both mornings
and afternoons TO cope with the un-
usual amount of work OF hand due 70
the various investigations into the high
prices Of food.
Burns said the "scalpers" bid for
their coal at the so-called independent
mines and stored il on barges and
canal boats in waters adjacent to New
York. Their overhead charges are low
and they sell when coal is scarce at a
big profit. II was on November and
8. Mr.. Burns said that he paid as high
as s12 ton 10 one of these specu'
lators.
While Burns was describing the rise
OF prices in October the District Attor
ney drew from his desk one of his own
coal bills made out by one of Mr..
Burns's competitors. IL was dated Oc-
tober II and was for egg coal at $685.

Perkins Public Market Plan
Praised by City's Legislators
One Fears Proposal to Lower Cost OF Living Which
Whitman VIII Back May Be Killed as 1t
Was Last Year

last year, said last night he was strong
" for the Perkins plan, adding that
there was no reason why the bill should
not pass both houses and be signed by
the Governor.
Joseph NJ. CallsghGn, Democratic

added:

Senator Robert +. Wagner. Demo-
cratic leader OF the Senate, expressed
himself somewhat in the same vein.
He explained that he would have TO
give the subject a little more study be-
fore committing himself to an opinion
as TO whether the Perkins plan en-
bodied the proper means Of arriving at
the solution Of the problem.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-22

George W Perkins, plan 10 lower
the cost Of living by bringing the pro-
Queer and consumer closer together,
through legislation aiming at the study
Of food production and distribution and
the establishment Of public markets
received favorable comment at the
hands Of New York City legislators yes
terday.
But" said one. who requested That
his name be withheld, "the same plan
was presented at the Sast Legislature
by Senator Ogden L. Mills and was
killed in committee. And II will never
get 70 the floor Of either house this
session unless Governor Whitman
sends an emergency message TO the
Legislature. Most powerful and SIMS
ter influences will be brought TO bear
against the measure. and only the Gov
ernor's message, backed by publicity,
will be able to cope with these inter
ests, which, | might add, have wealth
at their disposal"
Mr.. Perkins has given Governor
Whitman the opportunity 10 be the
leader in the fight this year for public
markets, calling attention TO the fact
that the average man spends 40 per
cent of his income for food, and that
there is no agency Of government
studying the production of food or IT'S
distribution or with any power to reg
ulate prices. The average man, he add
spends but 10 per cent Of his income
on transportation, and yet there are
two commissions overseeing the work
Of the transportation companies.

Despite much agitation in its
favor, President Wilson is
not expected in his address
to Congress to urge an en-
barge on food exports.
Petitions for some restnc-
ton have been piling up at
the White House for several
weeks. and it has been pre-
dicted that a determined
effort to have Congress act
would be made soon after
the session opens.

the country now are con-
Quoting Investigations.

Confers with Grocers

Commissioner Hartigan spent yester-
dsy afternoon in conference with re-
tail grocers, butchers and delicatessen
store proprietors representing the
allied food merchants OF New York
City.
"'They came TO present their side OF
the high price problem" he said in
statement issued last night. "ln nor

margin OF profit for the small grocer
in the average neighborhood had been
Is per cent, for the delicatessen store
keeper % per cent and for the butcher
l8 10 20 per cent.
To-day the small grocer says that
he is lucky TO have margin Of 3 to D
per cent, not counting in the value OF
his own labor The margin of profit IN
the delicatessen shops remains as high
as 10 per cent because the city's so.
called 'delicatessen livers' buy on .
slice basis and pay from so to 40 per
cent more than if they bought food in
larger quantities. The small butcher
represents that he is doing well TO
make a profit of per cent.
"The reason underlying these condl-
tons, they say, is that the small store
keepers are cutting down their profits
TO keep their trade in the face of COM
plants from their customers and &C
cusstions that they are robbing and
gouging the public. They complain
that they are the real sufferers, be-
cause they must cut their profits to
