SUGAR PRICES TO
Be INVESTIGATED
BY ERIE PETTUS
Many Complaints of Alleged
Sugar Profiteering Made
to the United States
District Attorney

AS a result of the large number OF
complaints regarding the prices
charged for sugar which is held by
many as exorbitant. Erie Pettus,
United States district attorney, yester-
day started an investigation into the
alleged profiteering charges. Special
justice have been assigned to work
on this matter and the investiga lion
will be most thorough, according to Mr..
Pettus. who stated the government eN-
pected to go to the potion of these
complaints
The many complainants state that
some of the merchants are taking
advantage of the sugar shortage to
booss the price and several persons
declared they had paid as high as l6 y
cents a pound while others reported
that they had been forced to buy a
certain amount of groceries before
they could buy any sugar One per-
son stated that they had purchased
four pounds of sugar for as cents, and
when she demonstrated at the price
was told by the merchant that sac
need not take it. as he could get 81
cents for it.
Since the sugar situation became Sc
acute in this district, a number OF
mass meetings have been held py peo-
pie in the outlying districts, and 1t
was through these that this matter
was brought to the attention of fede-
raj authorities
1t has been stated in another coun-
ty in Alabama a charge of % cents
pound was made for sugar and MIR
Pettus stated that the acute shortage
in this commodity was no reason for
the merchants to take advantage oil
the people and charge an exorbitant
price for it.
A copy of telegram sent out by
the department of justice to beet suga.
refiuers quoting 101s cents a pound
as a just price. was received by Mr.
Pettus yesterday. The message also
stated that the department of JUS
excess of this and consider any charge
violation of the Lever food contro
act as amended.
'I think the price formerly fixed by
the government still stands" said Mr.
Pettus. "as l have received no advice
of any change, and we expect to in
vestigate the sugar situation here
| thoroughly and If any Irregularities
| are discovered. we will certainly prose
cute the violators. The Lever foot
control bill has been amended to il
| clude clothing now, and while thu

make fair profit, It does not intent

prices in excess of what is deemed
