modity offered for sale in the retail stores is offered at 8 fixed price.
 In addition to striving for as wide a distribution Of it's surplus stocks as possible, the War Department sought to move it's supplies promptly to eliminate storage expense and pos sible deterioration. This latter object had a bearing on the prices fixed on commodities offered for sale to uIti- mate consumers. In carrying out this dual purpose the War Department has not pursued 10 strictly uniform pohsy in arriving at prices. Several factors had to be considered in the price equation presented for solu- tion.
 The stocks had been purchased by the War Department for the sole pur- pose of eQuipping the armies; no thought was given at the time of their acquisition to the sale of a pos sible surplus. The stocks were pre- pared in the form which would per init of the most convenient distri- button to the fighting forces. Con sequently, many of the commodities with which the Army Quartermaster retail stores are stocked are in non commercial sizes; others lack labels and trade marks.
 
 made by the War Department to reach the ultimate consumer was the offering of canned and cured meats and canned vegetables for sale through municipalities and municipal selling agencies These foodstufs were offered at fixed prices. The prices on canned and cured meats were determined by deducting 20 per cent. from the cost of those meats to the Government. The prices fixed on the canned vegetables were the aver age cost prices of the vegetables to the Government. The average cost price of the vegetables was approxi- mately 27 per cent below the then prevailing retail price on similar can ned goods.
 Later, complying with congression- al recommendations the War Depart ment attempted to sell such of it's subsistence stocks as would permit of that method of distribution through the Parcels Post Service. The prices which had been esta ablished for the sale of both meats and vegeta bles to the municipalities were taken as basic prices for the sale through the Parcels Post service. But, since pur- chasers through the Parcels Post ser vice were required to pay the postal charges on goods which they ordered, the War Department made an arbi- tray discount of one cent. per pound frora the municipal price scale. This discount, it was estimated, would cover the Parcels Post delivery

charge and equaIize the price al
 which the foodstuItS would be deliver
 ed to the homes of consumers
 throughout the United States.
 When, on September 25. sales
 through the Parcels Post service were
 suspended and Army Quartermaster
 retail stores were established these
 tCoQ sA6 which had been offered for
 sale trough 1he municipalities and
 Parcels Post service were put on sale
 in the re.ai! stores at the same prices
 at which they Lad been offered for
 sale through the Parcels Post ser
 vice.
 In determining prices on the other commcdities which have been placed on sale in the retail stores, included in which are certain items of sub sistence that were not sold through q governmental agencies. the average
 retail price on cu:lnercial commods . ties similar in character to the which 1t offered for sale. On u i Standard commercial commoditie ; sV offered. prices were fixed which : ranged from IS to 25 per cent. below i the then prevailing average retail price. On the non-standard com 1 rnodities and those others which, | from lack of labels and trade marks, ; would not sell as readily as cores
 bonding commodities carried by the ! the mercantile trade, it made addi- tional discounts with a view to es- : tabIishing a price that would pEove
 so attractive to the purchasing public as to cause the commo dittes to move i readily.
 l These prices were fixed on the ma l jority of the items now carried in the : retail stores about August 1. The i War Department has not, in any in- 1 stance, advanced it's prices. Retail i prices on some commodities carried 1 in the Army Quartermaster retail stores have advanced sharply, as is i the case with prunes and other evap- i orated fruits. The result is that the ] disparity between the prices at which 1 stores and by the retail trade is today 1 much greater than 20 or 25 per cent ! In instances, the War Department is | selling comm ditieS through it's retail i stores at prices lower than those at l which the retail merchant can ac- 1 quire similar stocks through trade i channels. Consequently, he cannot l in every instance, afford to sell at as 1 low figures as the War Department is ] now selling.
 | The Army Quartermaster retail 1 stores appeared to be the cheapest medium of distribution that could be
 established to give the entire Aneri- ! can public an opportunity to acquire
 the War Departments surplus sup ] plies. To have attempted to make

Shortly after the armistice was

The fever of speculation was causing
inflated values and the necessity for

the department of justice.
"The attorney general was asked 70

Congress finally passed the amend

twentS-second day of October.
"At the season of the year that sta

This vitality important work, and trust
YOU win give me the pleasure Of nam
ing you MS one of its members.
Guided by the experience of the
last conference ! have thought it ad-
visabIe that in this new body there
should be no recognition of distinctive
groups, but that all of the new rep
rcSentatives should have concern that
our Industries may be conducted with
such regard for justice and fair deal
ing that the workman will feel himself
induced to put forth his best efforts,
that the employer will have an~sncour-
aging profit and that the pu& will
not suffer at the hands Of either class.
1T is my hope that this conference
may lay the foundation for the devel-
opment Of standards and machinery
within our industries by which these
results may be attained.
1T is not expected that you will deal
directly with any condition which ex-
ISIS today, but that you may be fortu.
nate enough to find such ways as will
avoid the repetition of these deplor-
able conditions.
THE conference will meet at place
