INSPECTORS TO
 GET AFTER THE
 :. PROF|TEERS
Alleged That Some Deal. CTS Are Taking Advan- tage War to Raise
 Butter Prices.

The Food Administration is turn ing the full power of it's enforce ment machinery against dealers who are taking advantage of the present stringeney in butter supplies and are reaping heavy profits from the rising market. It's inspectors throughout the country have been instructed to center their work upon investiga- tions of butter operations and to ob- tain a check upon the recent activi- ties of dealers.
 Some manufacturers and dealers who had stored late butter have been taking advantage of a rising market to remove their goods and to sell. as fresh butter. on account of an advanced market.
 This Is a clear violation of Food Administration rulings. which state that butter. both fresh and storage, shall be sold at prices not to ex- ceed stipulated margin of profit over cost. The dealer Is not allowed to sell on the basis of replacement val ue. This eliminates all possibility of speculation. as the dealers in but ter are not allowed to profit by ab- normal advances in market quota tions.
 Telegrams have been sent to Fed eral Food Administrators. instruct ing them to take decisive measures in their. States to keep a close check on butter operations and to take vigorous action wherever violations arc disclosed Tho InnDactorS b,yo been notified that they are expected to center their attentions upon these operations and to make a thorough investigation of tho entire butter situation.

Dele gate Sulzer has admitted that he did a great deal of work in the Senate. He had to if he wanted to get results. He has letters from Senator Walsh of Montana, Senator Cham berlain of Oregon, Senator Kendrick of Wyoming and others that indicate that he did that work we'll.
 Judge Wickersham said two years ago and often be- fore that time that he had no influence in the Senate. He said that was because the enemity of Senator Knute Nelson. the veteran Republi- can from Minnesota who was chairman of the Senate cOm- mittee on Territories when the Republicans were in con- trol of the Senate. and now the Senior Republican member of that committee.
 All Alaska legislation must pass the Senate as we'll as the House. Therefore. Alas ka should have a Delegate who has influence in the Sen ate.
