AF TER RETAILERS

ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER
ASKS COOPERATION OF ALL
LOCAL OFFICIALS.
CONDUCT LOCAL PROBES
Says Retailers Can Be Disciplined BY
Public Sentiment Only, But Food
Hoarders Can Be Punish
ed BY Law.

Washlnton.-Attorney General Pal
mer started out to ascertain how much
of the high cost Of living is due to ex
cessiVe profits by retailers
In telegram to all state food ad
ministrators who worked with Admin
istrator Hoover during the war, the
attorney general requested the ap
pointment Of fair price commission
in each county to investigate what i:
being charged for retail necessities
and If IN excess of what the commits
sion considers just to publish list
Of fair prices for the guidance Of the
public
This is an extra legal" means OF
reaching profiteering which Mr. Pal
mer recently indicated was under con
sideration. He has frankly admitted
from the start that there was nc
means to prosecute directly a mar
guilty of extortion IN prices. Retail
ers who are gouging the ultimate con
pulcI Will udft W uS ulSClpliuSu W
public sentiment, which officials have
no doubt is sufficiently alert to the sit
uation now to act vigorously in clear
cut cases
Hoarders, on the other hand, can be
reached through the war time food
laws or the Sherman act, and MI
Palmer requested the state food ad
ministrators to transmit to him any
evidence Of boarding or other viola
tons of the law which they might en-
counter in their work, with the prom
Use that the governments law enforce
ment machinery would act promptly
There is pressing necessity fol
the restoration of normal conditions,
Mr.. Palmer's telegram said, requesting
the men who did such effective work
during the war to take UP the burden
again.

Washington.-The railroad brother
hoods, through their counsel, Glenn E.
Plumb, laid before tho House inter-
state commerce committee their
charges Of corruption in the manage
ment OF railroads Under private con.
troll The charges, announced as forth
coming a week ago, were that many
ot the great railway systems had been
plundersd Systematically by the finan.
cial interests and that the railroads
Illegally held millions of lcres Of pub
lie lands.
Eighteen representative railroads OF
the country, the brotherhood attorney
9 serted, issued stock agGregating
s450,414G00 between 1900 and 1910 as
bonuses and paid millions of dollars in
dividends on these bonuses. These
same railroads, he further charged,
were controlled in whole o. in part
by tho Morgan interests, 'he Rockefel,
Ter interests and tho Gould interests"
Coupled with the charges, which
came just before the House committee
closed its hearings on organized la
