The letter sent the price commission
by the grocers' advisory committee
follows:
Mr. W. II. Kemper, chairman fair price
commission, Shawnee county.
The grocers' advisory committee elected
at the meeting OF the grocefs calleu pA
YOU for the purpose of considering food
prices fixed by your board, after careful
consideration. have come to the conclusion
that the prices arbitrarily set by your
honrd are unfair TO the producer and to
the retailer. having been made up without
hny consideration of the cost of produc-
tion, without consideration of grades and
qualities of merchandise and with no re-
gard for the cost OF doing business.
As a result of these conditions, the ad-
visofy committee feel that they cannot
ronsiSfpntly serve in the said caDaeity 10
this board and hereby sever ali connee-
tinns Herewith.
The retail grocers of Topeka are de-
slrous OF cooperating in every way with
n board in making any fair and just reg
ulat.On of the retail prices of foods, but
cannot consistently agree to sell merchan-
disc at a loss.
Yours very truly,
