had presented its case at the trial

Food Administrators Whole
sale Price Is Request"
Not Order.

What was at first interpreted as
an order by County Food Admins
traitor G. A. Carlisle fixing the whole
sale price of milk in South Bend at
II cents a quart was i'm reality only
a request" inasmuch as the admin
istrator is understood 10 have no
power TO fix the minimum at which
milk may be sold
This fact developed Saturday fol-
lowing the meeting Friday night of
food retailers at the Chamber OF
Commerce. called for the purpose of
fixing a fair price list" on food
commodities.
Can sell Cheaper.
=. W Wittner, one of the LARGEST
jobbers Of milk in this section Nvho
has been in business for 40 years.
declared at the meeting that he can
provide all the milk required for the
city at 10 cents a quart wholesale
price, and still make a fair margin
OF profit. This, he declared. is the
result OF the extent Of his wholesale
business, the organization which he
maintains TO care for it, and an ac-
curate knowledge of his costs.
II was Mr.. Wittner who called at
tentiOn to the fact that instead Of
ordering" the II cent wholesale
price, the food administrator merely
issued a request that he charge
what the other producers declared
they must have.
II shall go right ahead with my
wholesale business charging my
former price" said Mr.. Wittner sa.-
urday. My business is largely with
grOcers who operate on the cash
and carry plan. It is reasona Bile
that the patron who is willing to
come 10 the store and carry his
milk home, as he does his ether
food stuffs, should be given the
benefit of whatever saving in over
head he enables the retailer TO
make.
Would MonopoliZe Business.
The milk dealers are bent on
driving the milk business out OF the
groceries together" declared Mr..
Wittner, and are therefore opposed
to a wholesale price which permits
the cash and carry grocer to sell
milk little cheaper that does the
dealer who delivers it from door to
door,
As a result of the discussion.
which occupied almost the entire
time of the meeting Friday night,
the wholesale price of II cent on
milk was entirely rescinded as an
order and the subject will be
further discussed at a meeting next
Friday night when all the milk
men are expected TO be present.
