War USED TO RAISE PRICES
CHICAGO FEDERAL GRAND JURY
MAKES DIRECT CHARGE.
Report, Following Investigation Last
ing Several Weeks, Declares Some
Dealers Are Exploiting.

Chicago, July 5.-Exploitation of
war conditions to raise food prices to
consumers, "for the benefit Of the few
who are handling food products" has
been reported by the federal grand
jury after an investigation of several
weeks.
The Elgin board of trade, where are
fixed butter prices taken as standard
throughout the country, received espe-
cial attention from the grand jury,
which pointed out that the board holds
only one 15-minute session each week.
The report urged legislation to pro-
hibit cold storage companies from lend
ing large amounts on perishable food
products in warehouses, which the
grand jury said leads to speculation
and higher prices. Reports under
oath to the government on the
amounts of food in cold storage was
recommended.
Among documents obtained by the
grand jury were two circulars sent by
two wholesale food dealers to jobbers
and statesmen. One of these said:
"Raise your prices now on every
thing we have advised you will ad-
vance. You can get the extra price
this week as we'll as next"
Another circular said:
"Our customers have very unusual
profits within their grasp at this mo-
ment Will they throw them away or
tuck them away?"

Chihuahua. He was overcharged by
the German firm of Ketelsen & Dege-

anything, better than they had been

there is plenty would be exaggerating.
