THE PROFlTEERS
County Attorney Bell Attends Meet
ing Of Attorneys at Des Moines,
Called by Governor Harding
PLEDGE USE OF GRAND JURIEs
County Attorneys Will Exert Every
Effort to Ascertain Violations Of
Law A. to the High Prices

County Attorney Andrew Bell re.
turned Saturday from Des Moines,
where he was in attendance at a spe-
cial meeting of the county attorneys
OF the state called by Governor Har-
ding for the purpose of formulating
plans to prosecute profiteers through
out the state. Mr.. Bell stated that
the attendance at the meeting was
large, all but a few counties being re-
presented. According to Mr.. Bell, it
will be a hard matter to reach the high
prices by criminal prosecution as the
state laws are lax in this regard, but
many cases come under the federal
law.
The committee representing the
Convention OF County Attorneys, call
ed by the governor, gave out the fol-
lowing:
The very large attendance at the
meeting of county attorneys and law
enforcing officials to consider the high
cost of living was evidence of the great
Importance of the question and the
wide public interest
Almost every county in the state
was represented. TIE attorney gener-
ais Office was represented by Mr..
Havner in person and some of his as
sistants. The state food and dairy de-
partment was represented by Mr.. Bar
ney and all of his field men. The gov
ernor personally presided and at his
invitation, former Attorney General
Cosson appeared to cooperate in the
matter. 10
The committee states that the public
should understand that there are many
conditions Of high prices which cannot
be reached by criminal prosecutions,
for the reason that they are due to
natural causes, where the commodi,
ties are sold in the open market with
fair competition and where no agree
ment is made in the matter of the fix
ing of prices. or the control Of produc-
ton or distribution, no crime has been
committed. 1t Is recognized that In
many instances there are just grounds
to believe that there have been at
tempts made by dealers to fix and to
maintain unnatural prices, and the
county attorneys Of this state pledge
the use Of the grand juries of their
counties and their best efforts to as
certain any violation OF the law along

ice SITUATION
IS CLEARING
Indications Favorable That Denison
Will Soon be Supplied With Ice
at Reasonable Prices
DIRECTORS OF PLANT MEET.
Manager Of Plant Fully Explains Sit
uation and Makes Public Price at
Which He Sold to Retailer

Every indication points to the fact
that the people of Denison will soon
be receiving ice and at price con-
forming with what people in other 10.
calities are paying for this necessity.
1t is true, however, that ice is not be-
ing manufactured at the Nicholson
plant owing to the scarcity Of coal,
due to the railroad strike, but as soon
as coal is received the. ice making de.
partment will resume operations and
be worked to capacity. Mr.. Ellis, the
manager of the plant, informed the
Review today that he has eight cars
of coal enroute to Denison and some
of this should reach Denison the last
Of this week.
Following last weeks issue Of the
Review local directors of the Nich0l-
son Ice & Produce company called
special meeting for the purpose Of
making an investigation to ascertain
the cause of the high retail price OF ice
in Denison. This meeting was held
on Friday evening and was attended
by the three local directors. Mr.. Ellis,
manager of the plant, and Mr.. Court
ney, the bookkeeper, and represent
atives of the Review.
People of Denison will be interested
to know that the Nicholson Ice & Pro-
duce company are in no way to blame
for the high price of ice as charged
to the consumer, and in opder that the
public might understand the situation
and place the blame where It properly
belongs Mr.. Ellis, the manager gave
a detailed statement as to what the
company was charging the retailer Of
ice. Up until August 1st the company
charged the retailer of ice $3.50 per
ton for ice at the plant, but owing. to
the fact that an extra shift had to- be
put on at the plant and wages In
creased Mr.. Ellis was compelled ito
raise the price Of ice to $500 per ton,
effective August 1t. The price at
which ice was sold to the consumer
before this was $14.00 per ton or ct
an increase OF lS6 per cent. When
the price. was raised to $500 per ton,
to the retailer the price to the con-
sumer was increased to $500 per ton
which Is at the rate Of practically 1z5
per cent. The plant furnished to the
