Palmer Insists 0ts
Fair Price Plans
Ne'c Yoyl, Tribune


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Thc plans
of the Department Of Justice for coninr
with proliteerine by retail dealers in
foodstutfs and wearing apparel will be
completely upset, Attorney General
Palmer Informed 4 Senate sub-commit-
tee to-day, II the Senate refuses to ac-
ccpt his amendments to the food con-
trol act III the form in which thew
were recommended.
The Subcommittee was appointed by
Chairman Gronna, of the Senate Agri
cultufa, Committee, to work out a basis
for determining what are fair and
reasonable prices. The Attorney Gen
eIel $ amendments gave no definition
OF fair prices, but proposed q maximum
penalty o. two years imprisonment
and $4,000 fine for dealers charging
unreasonable prices
The Attorney General told the com
mlttec to-day that his recommerda
tions, if enacted, would work 10 hard
ship on any dealer content with rea-
sonable profits. He produced decisions
oy the Supreme Court to establish
that the legislation he proposed would
not be held Unconstitutional.
Ihe Agricultural! Committee will not
accept Mr. Palmers suggestion that
falr prices be not defined in the profit
eering legislation. The subcommittee
is now working on three suggestions
tor determining reasonable prices.
They are:
THAT the food prices deemed
far by the United States Food Ad-
mlnistration during the war be set
up as standard by which present
prices shall be judged.
THAT the volunteer fair price
committees being organized by Mr..
Palmer be legalized, ana that all
dealers charging more than the fair
prices set by these committees be
prosecuted for protiteering.
3--That fair price" for food
and clothing dealers shall be defined
Ill the legislation as one not exceed
ing cost plus per cent profit
None Of these suggestions is salts
factory TO the committee. If the food
administration prices were taken as
the standard, members of the commit
tee fear the public would not be long
IN coming to the conclusion that some
of these prices we're too high. The
food administration price of II cents
pound Tor sugar. which has been ac-
cepted by the Department of Justice
as fair price" Is, in excess Of what
sugar was selling for in many parts
OF the country when the high cost Of
living agitation was started. The price
of sugar in Washington was 10 cents
8 pound. but it has now been advanced
to tho price deemed fair" by the De-
partment OF Justice.

tomatoes and baked beans were added
condensed milk and cans of soup. The
children in this neighhorEood are es

sales. One little girl, who was buying
for her sick mother, found hersolf lood-
ed with more than she could possibly
handle. She got into Il lnix-up, drop
ping one can as she picked up another.
One of the little boys gallant!y came to
her rescue, piled the cans on his car and
wheeled them home for her, although
it meant q loss of hard cash to him.

Special Correspondence


ALBANY, Aug. 22.-The milk situa-
ton in New York City will be one OF
the principal subjects acted upon by
an extra session Of the Legislature, II
one is called
Governor Smith had further confer
ences this afternoon and evening with
former Governor Martin II. Glynn and
DR.. John II. Finley, State Commissioner
Of Education, his two high-cost- -ofliv-
ing investigators. and they asked until
tomorrow to make preliminary re
port.
The question on which will largely
hinge the calling of an extra session
is whether existing laws will permi.
the carrying out of recommendations
looking toward the solution of the milk
problem, which, it is understood, tn z
food commissioners will report to the
Governor.
Governor Smith said to-day that if it
is shown that more power is needed he
will not hesitate to call an extra ses-
sion.
The Governor called attention to the
fact that last winter the State Farms
and Markets Council asked the Legis-
laturc for S35, 900 to conduct an investi-
CATION of the milk distributing system
in New York City. The appropriation
Wa iicI StaHtcu, anu tHC COUNCIL was
therefore able to do no more than
make a preliminary report The food
Investigators, it is understood, have
taken up the New York City milk dis
tributing situation for the purpose Of
determining a method of cheaper dis
tribution and the consequent lowering
of the price Of milk.
Dr. Finley and Mr.. Glynn already
have been given Moreland act powers
to look into the work of the Farms and
Markets Council, and the Governor
may give them the use Of the $40 ,OO0
or so now in the Moreland act fund to

quantity from u school in Manhattan
1t was found that she intended to sup

ing was sold to her. DR.. Day said that
he plans to close the sale to all but in
dividual consumers until he is certain
their needs are supplied. Then, if any
food is left, he said lot buyers will be
permitted to make purchases.
Jamaica High School Leads
Jamaica High School carried off the
honors during the first two days as
the leading sales depot. More than
$4,000 worth of food was sold, it was
estimated last night Erasmus Hall
High School and Dewitt Clinton High
School were racing closely for the
runner-up position.
The apathy of the Ghetto districts
toward the sale is proving to be one
of the few disappointments connected
with the city's grocery business. The
sales in schools located in the Jewish
communities were the lowest in the
city, although business was far from
dull.
The schools will he open throughout
the day to-day, Dr.. Day announced.

Dealers Forced
To Release Food
Large Quantities Found
Here Put on Market.
u. s. attorneys Report

The Investigation Of the agents act
ing under the direction Of the local
United States District Attorneys Office
has disclosed large quantities of food
stufs which are being forced into cir
culation. Earl B. Barnes and Ben A.
Matthews, assistant United States at
torneys, said yesterday.
Mr.. Barnes said that the reports of
the storage holdings have been COM
piled and are being carefully examined
Dealers named by the warehouse men
as having large quantities Of supplies
III storage are being summoned and in
terrogated by the Federal authorities.
MIR. Barnes said that in cases where
there arc evidences Of boarding the
dealer is given his choice of releasing
the food for circulation through tho
trade or OF being prosecuted under the
Lever act.
"Ihere are many of these border-
line cases" Mr.. Barnes said eve
&re not certain whether the man is
holding up supplies or not. in these
cases, bat We do know thas he hAs
large stores o. foodstuffs which must
not be held for periods of scant and no
production. We impress on these
dealers the fact that condi ions at
preseit arc not normal; that if he was
accustomed to hold supplies for ten
months III normal times. nc should be
willing % aid in relieving the present
critical situation by letting them 20
far more quickly.
"Al| the dealers we have approached
this way have expressed a willingness
TO dispose of their holdings without
delay. We feel hat circulation while
not as snectacular. will be more help
full IN solving the present problem
than prosecution. The dealers have
their own definition Of Holding fur
reasonable requirements and we have
another. they base theirs on business
procedure; We base ours on present
cXl@tlnr conditions"
Specific Instance Mentioned
MIR. Barnes mentioned one specific
instance in which a dealer, who had
been interviewed, announced that he
was about to send statesmen out 10 dis
pose of the following commodities:
Two hundied and five eases OF apples.
tortN-sevan cases Of evanosated app es,
$50 cases of beans. sevcn,y-seven cases
OF pork and beans, ten cases of soup,
cases OF G9ricots. Without the inter-
view the dealer would probably have
held these supplies for several months,
Mr.. Barnes thought.
Considerable comment was aroused
yesterday by the report Of Fire Com
miss ioner brennan to Mayor Hylan on
the amount Of foodstuffs found b. fire
inspectors in storage warehouses. IN
a statement making public the tigures
the Mayor said he believes that other
buildings other than warehouses are
being used to store food Prices could
be brought down, he said, by releasing
boarded stores and prosecuting prof
itecrs.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-23

When these figures We're read to one
storage warehouse man he said:
as that all? Well, if there were no
more holdings than those, consumers
would be in for hard winter. The
vast maj ajority of those stores is being
held for the period of scant and no
production, and if forced out Of the
warehouses would mean famine and
high prices throughout the winter"
To Protect Honest Dealers
Mr.. Williams, in commenting on his
attitude regarding dealers who are
holding large quantities Of food said
those who are honestly storing the food
to meet the winter demand would be
protected rather than prosecuted.
The report of the State Department
of Farms and Markets on storage hold
ings in public warehouses alone shows
far greater quantities than those re.
ported to the Mayor. The state report
enumerates the following holdings:
Butter 24.S07,l95 pounds; frozen beef,
3S,99S 1856 pounds: cured beef 2,10o 39G
pounds; poultry, S,975,832 pounds; fish.
l2,4l2,953 pounds; frozen pork. S.245.-
463 pounds; dry salt pork, l0.4l4634
pounds. and picked pork, 1897 500
pounds.
Storage men were puzzled over the
Mayors report Of 557.355 .OSO eggs (in
cases.. There are only 1.3O7.533 cases
of eggs in public Warehouses. which
when multiplied by $50, the number of
eggs to case, is 462 ,691 1920 eggs Gin
cases) N
