for $l7.6O a Barrel on
May l9
PHILIPS HITS BACK
AT FOOD DICTATOR

In answer to charge made by Her
bert G. Hoover in Washington yes
terday tina. someone is making So
a barrel above legitimate profits on
-four and hat -four dealers are goug-
ing the public Of $50 600 600 a month,
W c. Philips. OF the Phillps-Tho
son Company local aour dealers, said
todoy.
They would make us believe that
the same grade OF -four that was sell
ing for Si'.6O per barrel I'm this
country on May l9. was being sold
in England for $500. or less than
half the domestic cost in England on
the same day.
They cannot make me believe that
the amount ella med to have been
charged IN this country was not for
the best advertised grade OF -four and
that the price In England was not
for the poorest grade.
Il will even go farther 10 state
-four was no. being sold here a. $l7 80
por barrel on May 19. We were, our
selves. selling high grade flour on
/ that date al SIS per barrel.
When Mr.. Hoover asserts that the
public is being robbed OF $4,000 600
a month by the -four dealers. he Is
making a mis-siatement OF the facts
which the following figures will
show:
ION May 10 wheat was being sold
/ in Minneapolis OF about S2.66 per
/ bushel with IA cents per bushel
added for freight, the net cost OF
spring wheat delivered here on that
date was $3.50 per bushel
"As Il takes i've bushels OF whea'
to produce a barrel Of -four. the cosi
would be five times $3.50 or Sl4 foI
the bare -four. Add TO this 80 cents
for the barrel it makes Sl4.50 for q
barrel OF spring patent delivered ID
wood This is tho -four We were sell
ing on May 10 at sl5.
1T is we'll known fact that The
British government has been a large
buyer OF wheat and as the oceaI
freigh rates 10 England are about b'
cents per bushel or about SO per bar
rel this price would necessarily hav'
to be added 20 the price OF -four whei
being sold on the other sideg and !
is. therefore, impossible that the sam
grade OF -four can be sold in Englan
al as low a price as prevails In mi
country"
