FOOD MARKET IN
EARLY MORNING

That food spectators by early
morning operations among commits
sion merchants here are responsible
for the high prices which housewives
are forced to pay, was revealed today
by members of the food committee Of
the District Council Of Defense, Of
which Charles +. Nesbit is chairman.
A probe OF the activities Of the
spectators was begun today. As soon
as 1t is completed the committee will
make plans TO remedy conditions
which are not only boosting the price
of food to consumers, but causing
loss to the farmers.
At a meeting OF the council yester-
day IL was shown that spectators
visit the market at 3 o'clock in the
morning and buy up the entire avail
able supply OF certain foodstuffs for
that day, by these tactics securing
the lowest possible prices. These
prices are what the farmers are paid
by the commission merchants for their
crops.
The produce is then resold by COM
mission merchants for the specula-
tors.

is finally persuaded by those in au-

that he may kill a halfbreed raider,
