Publicity of Wholesale
Prices and Profits

vised Scheme of Regulation Proves

Be Sought.

Be Sought
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Recom-
mendations for the regulation of the
meat packers by the food administra-
tion on a basis that will give full pub
licity to wholesale prices and profits,
made recently by committee appoint
ed at the suggestion of Herbert C.
Hoover, have been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson.
As result, the government will not
take over the packing industry, but it
will take decisive steps to put an end
to all private dealings and understand
ings. The books of the industry will.
in effect, be made public records and
the facts ascertained made known from
time to time.
The action of the President also gave
official appreciation to a policy which
may have far-reaching results in the
regulation of. retail dealers, not only in
meats. but also in other food commodi-
ties. The report submitted to the Pres
ldent stated that the food administra-
ton had no actual regulatory powers
to control the prices charged by retail
ers. One of the recommendations made
! by the committee, which was approved
by the President, contained, however,
| this significant statement:
at is desirable that an investiga-
| tion should be made of the conditions
of the retail trade with view to de-
termination of some constructive effort
| that may be made in retail distribution,
L 4
| should be created for thorough investi-
| CATION OF and recommendation upon the
subject. -
Retail prices being charged in some
sections are openly sore spot with the
| food administration, and there were
some who predicted that the approval
| by the President of this paragraph of
| the report might have the effect of
| bringing about request for the con
sideration by congress of legislation
which would shortly extend the powers
| of the food administration and give il
'authoritt to 'aef promptly where unfair
conditions in the retail trade were al
legged to exist.
] It can be stated that the food adj
ministration did not believe from the
| first that the best method to attack the
| problem of meat prices, wholesale and
| retail, was by government operation of
packing plants. 1t was felt that more
| effective results would be obtained bv
the adoption of another course, which
would end secret understandings, let
| the public know what was going on. and
then, if it was believed necessary, seek
authority from congress to regulate re-
| tail prices on the basis of wholesale
| schedules.
Delay in the publication of the gov
| eminent policy has been caused in part
by a difference of opinion as to the
method to be employed. 1t is said that
some of the members of the federal
trade commission, headed by Victor
Murdoch, were in favor of government
| operation of the packing plants. The
| food administration members were on
! posed to such course.

MOTHERS 'KIDNAP' 
 OWN CHILDREN
Babies With Infantile Paralysis
 Carried From Hospital

Mothers of two children affected with contagious diseases face probable prosecution in police court in this city and elsewhere for taking their children away from the conta gious hospital in Hartford. Early Sunday morning, presumably about 2 o'clock, the children were removed without the knowledge of the doctors and nurses in charge. Tn taking the chill dren away the mothers violated the state statutes in public health con- corning the removal of children with infectious or contagious diseases
 One of the mothers was Mrs. Bor- 1ewslt Of 59 Broad street whose jn- fant daughter. Katrina, had been at the isolation hospital for two weeks on account of infantile paralysis. She was the fourth victim of the disease this summer. Mrs. Borlewski brought the child to this city and in order to escape detection left 1t at the home of a relative at 90 Broad street.
