Must Rout Unfair Dealers.

The market men and grocers Of
Washington have been roundly. and
in some cases very unfairly. abused
as pronteers and even robbers. That
there are such profiteers, that there
are unscrupulous dealers who will
take advantage of war times and Of
tho needs OF our overpopulated COM
munity to line their pocketbooks with
ill-gotten gains. there is no doubt.
These men must not only be pun
ished. but driven out of business as
persons unfit to bear the responsible
ity Of handling our food supplies dur
ing wartime. But we should. at such
times. be all the more careful to make
q difference between the fair and the
unfair, the honest and the dishonest
dealer 1t is, indeed. unfortunate that
these unfair dealings on the part OF
a few should cause suspicion and bit
tween the different parts and classes
Of our community. These sentiments
are destructive Of the spirit Of CO.
operation that ought at this time to
govern every loyal citizen.
From time to time many complaints
have been received at my Office Of
high prices and profiteering at the
Arcade market. These complaints
have been investigated and. in some
cases. were well-founded. The result,
however. has been. am happy to say.
not in the melting out of punishment
on the part of all dealers in this mar
ket. that they will see to it that here
after no pronteertng goes on in the
Arcade market.
You have agreed that you will abide
by the fair price lists published by
the office of the food administration
for the District of Columbia. Those
lists are the result of the work of
wholesale and retail dealers. and of
consumers working with me. They
represent no more than q reasonable
accuracy-that accuracy which is OBJ
tanned by careful and conscientious
study of existing market and price
conditions"
