FEAR PACKERS
WILL DOMINATE
GROCERY TRADE
Federal Board Claims big
Five" Handle 200 Foods
Unrelated to Packing
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
These Are Among the Latest,
Is Declaration; Branded
Large Spectators"
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 16. - Reitera-
packing companies of Chicago bid
fair to dominate the wholesale
grocery trade and already handle
more than 200 foods unrelated to
the meat packing industry, many of
them directly competitive as meat
substitutes, is made in Part ~ of
the Federal Trade Commissions re-
port on the industry submitted to-
day.
''The extent to which the packer
should be permitted to enter unre-
lated food lines (even assuming
legitimate competitive methods),"
the report said. "is a matter which
the public interest alone should de-
termine.
1.-TWO questions, primarily eco
nomic, are involved:
Does this widening of activity
result in additional economies of pro-
duction and distribution?
Does it result and will it con-
tinue to result to the public in lower
prices and better quality of product
and service?
The Ultimate Effect
"a third question, not here dis
feet of such vast and powerful or
ganizations on the political and So
cial fabric of American institutions"
Included in the list of commodi-
ties said to be falling under con-
troll of the big five" are poultry
and game, dairy products, lard and
butter substitutes, canned and dried
vegetables and fruit, canned, cured
and frozen fish, cocoa, coffee, mo-
lasses and cane. corn and maple
syrup. In addition Armour and
Company. one of the five, is said to
be handling extensively soda foun-
tain preparations and utensils.
The extent of packer control
varies with the locality and COM
modify, land the dealer whose bust
ness is being absorbed" the report
asserts.
'Large Spectators"
The report declares the meat
packers "are large spectators" and
that their control of capital and
credit enable them to buy in such
a way as to resell upon market
in which their purchases have forced
up the price" 1t also asserts that
the packers "have extraordinary
buying and marketing power due to
certain advantages, perhaps not al
ways unlawful but certainly often
uniustifiable."
Among these advantages are
enumerated packer control of 44.S
per cent. of all cold storage facili-
ties, their refrigerator car service,
the "highly favorable rules" OBJ
tanned by the packers for mixed car
loads of fresh meats and packing
house products, permitting them to
include a great variety of goods
foreign to their slaughtering busi-
ness with resulting determinations
not alone in service, but also in
rates.
Until the packers are shorn of
transportation advantages granted
them by the carriers" the report
says, there is no way of measuring
their true industrial efficiency"

witnesses on the activities of radi-
Gals in the strike.

mic and outing grove.
Plans i'm Detail
Continuing his explanation of the
provisions which can be made to ac-
commodate bathers, Mr.. Manning
said: AT the lower point of the is
land lighthouses of concrete could
be constructed, in archway form
and in sections of about 100 feet in
length with showers at each ends
This would give the effect from the
shoreline of continuous arches. On
the top of the lighthouses which
would be of concrete there would be
plenty of room for persons to prom
enade and watch the bathers. Some
of the archways beneath would have
doors cut through them while others
would only have ventilators at the
top. Men and boys and women ant
girls can easily be separated, ano
showers can be provided for eacL
group.
Later additional units can easily
be constructed on the same plan
whenever they will be needed"

SUGAR FAMINE
Is A BLESSING

DR.. Raunick Declares Short
age of Sweets Has It's
Compensations
BOON TO TIRED STOMACH
Toothache, tuberculosis and
Diphtheria Are Compan-
ions of Sugar Glutton
BOON TO TIRED STOMACH

Reduced consumption of sugar by
Harrisburg people, made necessary
by the food shortage which now
grips the city, will work great bene-
fit on the city health, according to
DR.. John NJ. ]. Raunick, city health
officer. The benefit from sugarless
days really will have it's compensa-
ton for it's annoyances.
There is no question but that peo-
pie of Harrisburg and other cities
are consuming much more sugar
than they need, and are consuming
it in such quantities that it reacts
on their health" DR.. Raunick says.
Breedep of Indigestion
The consumption of raw sugar
and large quantities of sweetening
in our daily diet, interferes to large
extent with the stomach in an eff
cient performance of its duties and
breeds great amount of indiges-
ton, DR.. Raunick believes.
He called att ention to the testi-
mony of dentists and physicians,
who are practically unanimous in
the assertion that American people
would be far more healthy if they
consumed less sweets. He men
ton that it is well-known fact
that most teeth trouble is the re-
suit of too much sugar taken by the
individual.
Prone to Diseases
tuberculosis and diphtheria, too,
are favored by the excessive con-
sumption of sugar, DIR. Raunick said.
The teeth trouble. often resulting
therefrom, favor the breeding of
germs of these diseases.
"These are but few of the many
difficulties caused by the over con-
sumption of sugar." DR.. Raunick
added.
