Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The ap- pointment of J. P. Cotton of New York as head Of the meat division which after November l will direct the license control of the nations packing and slaugh ring industries was announced tonight b the food administration. Mir Cotton will make his headquarters in Chicago and will cooperate with H. A. Wheeler, Illinois state food ad- ministrator.
 Every pnase of the meat industry as well as the consuming public will be represented upon advisory commit tees now being organized. Regulations under the licenses are being formulated" says a food admin istration statement, upon the point of
 view of the provision of fair profit to the packer aud of protection to the grower and consumer
 The food administration has no in i tention to fix the price at which the | farmer sells his stock. It has, how ever, the duty of directing export purchases of beef and pork products and proposes to use this power to stabilize the price, to support remun- | erative prices to the rarmer and, by
 the exclusion of speculation, to protect 1 the consumer"

GUT OFF SUPPLIES F NOT SATISFIED
 WITH FOOD PROFITS
TRepublicsn A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Profiteer- ing by retail dealers in foodstuff will be made impossible after November l, the food administration announced to- night under plan to cut off supplies to those not satisfied with reasonable margins. Manufacturers, wholesalers and other handlers of food, whose bus inesses will go under license, will not be permitted to sell to distributors who seek undue profits
 This is one of the most sweeping safeguards" the announcement said,
 against high prices which will be in corporated in the licensing system for which complete rules and regulations will be made known within a few days"
 This plan, food administration of Iclals believe, will give the govern ment entire control of retail prices Wholesalers and others who continue to sell to retailers after they are for bidden to do so by the food admins tration will be denied the right to sell goods under license
 Authority for extending control to the retailer is cited in the announce ment as follows:
 The small retailers of food, of whom there are several hundred thou sand in the country, while exempt rom the licensing provisions, are nevertheless subject to other provi- sions of the food control act Every retailer, as well as every other handler of food, is forbidden under the law to make any unreasonable charge, to hoard, to monopoliZe, waste or destroy food, or to conspire with anyone to re- strict the production, distribution or supply. or exact excessive prices on any necessities. There are no penal ties provided, but the food adminis- tration hopes that the arrangement of restricting supplies to violators of the law will be of some effect, for the re- | taller will find himself unable to buy | goods from any wholesaler or manu- | facturer."
 i Federal food administrators in all the states will be directed to keep a watch for violators and send to the | food administration the names of re- tailers asking excessive prices.
 The food administration" the an nouncement says, does not intend to disturb any legitimate operations anG will initiate measures only against
 hardened and persistent violators o the law. It takes the position that tht great majority of food sellers, retai as well as wholesale, are patriotic ant honest, and are making every effort
 to comply with good business princi | ples and sell to the consumer at tn,
 lowest possible prices. Such dealer:
 will be in fact protected from illegiti
 mate competition. Those few who per
 sist in abusing their opponents ant
 continue to take advantage of tn,
 emergency caused by the war will re
 ceive attention"
