MAINTENANCE OF HOG
!! PRICE is INDICATED
Price Of $3.50 for Fall and Spring
. Farrowing Decided.

so far as we are able. we will
continue the assurance OF a minimum
H5P a hundred for average Of pack
erg. droves at Chicago for hogs far
rofed this fall" This is the answer
oE Herbert Hoover, Federal Food
Administrator. to H. c. Stuart, chair
man Of the Agricultural Advisory
Board. which recommended the main
tenance of hog prices.
Concerning the spring farrowing,
Nh. Hoover says he has little doubt
the. prices will continue. but adds:
~ do want TO make clear in all
these matters of price influence by the
government that this is not a guaran-
tee.it is a policy. and this policy will
be defeated only by some unlocked
for interruption in distribution, trans
pold alton or consumption, a risk Of
war We all must take"
8Er. Hoover then discusses some
criticisms that have been made in
changing the formula from cost of
corn to be fed to the hogs" to the
"farm value or farmers selling value
az country stations" as the basis for
calculating hog raising costs and SELL
ing prices. He admits this may in
crease slightly the profit to the
farmer, but is disposed to believe the
real ends Of justice and stimulation
or production will be met by the
changed formula.
~ basis for calculation. eight
states were determined as the leading
hos and corn producing states. They
are Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Nebraska. Missouri. South Dakota
ana Minnesota.

PRICEINCREASE|
is FORBIDDEN
Food Administrator Serves
Ultlmatum on Childs
Restaurant.

The original scale of prices at
Childs' before the first and second
increases within three days has been
ordered restored by Clarence r. Will
son. District of Columbia Food Ad-
ministrator.
Mr.. Wilson had the local manager
Of the Childs' Restaurant Corpora
don before him yesterday. The man
ager admitted that, in reducing the
prices In compliance with Mr.. VIII
sons first demand, with the ulti-
matum that the restaurant would be
taken over by the government. he
had restored the scale of prices mere
ly to that Of the first increase.
The first increase being considera-
BILE and the second one comparatively
slight, the removal of the second
increase did little to remedy the sud-
den higher cost to the Childs' pa
irons. and Mr.. Wilson was so little
satisfied with 1t. especially after be-
ing informed that there had been
first increase that he had not known
about. that he ordered the local man
ager to appear before him yesterday
with information concerning each OF
three successive scales of prices.
Prompt Action Ordered.
On seeing the great discrepancy
between the original prices and the
hrst increase, now in effect, even
greater than between the first in
crease and the second. which had
been removed apparently as VIC
tory for the Food Administration,
Mr.. Wilson demanded the restoration
OF the original food prices at once,
pending some better readtustnent.
The Childs' local manager told Mr..
Wilson. as he informed him before
when demand was made that the
prices be reduced, that he would
have TO communicate with the New
York offices OF the corporation, which
controls prices for all the restau-
rants of the chain. Mr.. Wilson ex-
poets to see the prices reduced to
their old level today.
The same fight that Is being made
in Washington is being made IL
New York City and elsewhere
against the Childs' corporation. ex-
cept that an attempt was made In
New York to establish even higher
prices.
Asks Government Cafes.
Mr.. Wilson. in addition to meas
| ures to relieve the public OF high
prices at Childs', has urged all gov
ernment agencies, through Herbert
Hoover, Federal Food Admfnistra-
tor, TO feed their employees three
! meals a day. to expand existing
cafeterias and build others where
necessary. This movement already is
under way and will be in operation
