Even If the American representative

Whatever advice the council gave

GOVERNMENT CONTROLS SUGAR
Profiteers TO BE Prosecuted-Retail

Washington.-Active control Of
sugar prices was resumed last week
by the government through an agree
ment reached between the department
OF justice and the food administration
that licenses will be revoked by the
latter when il is shown dealers have
been profiteering.
Sugar should reach the consumer at
approximately IL cents a pound, it
was announced based on the owner
ship of the entire domestic and Cuban
crop by the United States sugar equal
ization board, which is selling to re-
flners at 1928 cents a pound.
Refiners are under contract with the
board TO sell at nine cents, less 2 per
cent discount for cash, wholesalers
and jobbers are allowed a maximum
of 6S cents on 100 pounds for handling
and retailers are permitted a profit of
one to one and a half cents per pound,
making a fair price IL cents, except
in cases where dealers have purchased
at IAN unreasonable price" due to mis-
understanding in the trade. When this
is fact a reasonable advance over
the actual cost will be permitted.

Detroit-One of the disclosures

more to bring anthracite coal than
bituminous or soft coal from the Penn
sylvania coal fields to Detroit. None

able to explain the difference in freight
rates.
Several dealers testified that 1t cost

TESTIMONY OF WHOLESALER AT
LANSING HEARING SHOWS
WIDESPREAD COMBINE.
HAND OF BIG PACKERS SEEN
Selling Prices Of Meats, Vegetables,
Sugar, Canned Goods and All
other Staples Are Dictated.

Lansing.-Prices of practically ev-
cry staple food commodity are con.
trolled by corporation or association
at some point along the line between
the producer and the consumer, and,
wherever that point may be, the pig
five packers are likely to be found
there or whereabouts.
This is the essence of testimony
taken in the state investigation into
the high cost of living before Judge
Howard West in the Ingham Circuit
Court Immediately after the lid of
secrecy was taken off the court in
vestigation.
Article after article was mentioned
as having a fixed and unvarying price
among dealers. Sugar, canned salmon,
tuna fish, canned meats, canned vege-
tables, cheese, condensed milk, lard.
soap, coffee, canned fruits and so Tar
as the city OF Lansing is concerned,
butter, eggs and bread were so quoted.
The testimony of Ralph Carrier,
president and general manager of the
Northrop, Robinson & Carrier Co.,
which has just sold its wholesale
business to the Worden Grocer Co.,
an alleged subsidiary of Armour e
Co., showed that there are few things
in which his company deals that can
be bought in a market where there is
competition in prices.
Mr.. Carrier is retiring from busi-
ness and for this reason perhaps
spoke more freely than would have
been the case.
The price Of sugar throughout Michl
gan is fixed, Carrier said, by COM
mittee of three members of the Whole
sale Grocers' Association, Frank
Wiley, Detroit; Arthur Gregory, Grand
Rapids, and a Saginaw wholesaler
whose name he did not recall. This
committee fixes the price to be
charged by wholesalers and then eacn
member telephones to the wholesalers
in his section of the state. Retailers
may vary their prices, but wholesalers
always sell at or above the commit
tees rate.
The prices of canned salmon, tuna
fish, canned meats, vegetables and
fruits are uniform, Mr.. Carrier said.
A wholesaler may go to one Gamer
or jobber after another, but he will al
ways face the same price. Any cor
respondence complaining of the quail
ity of these products seems ultimately
to fall into the hands of LIBBY. McNeal
& Libby, a subsidiary of the Big Five
packers.
The price of cheese is fixed, the
witness said, by an association in Wis
consin. The prices of condensed milk
are uniform, no matter what company
one deals with, and II they are in
creased notices come out from eacn
producer and jobber on the same day
Independent importers might bring
tea into the country, he said, but the
coffee market is entirely controlled by
the Importers Association.
Mr.. Carrier illustrated his implicit
faith In some abiding remnant of COM
petition by testifying that the price
CT rice has increased from IA cents
a pound at the beginning OF the war
to Is cents at present, but that lit
went up and kept on going up, just
raised itself, without control"

How The Inscriptions
Meat Dealer ProfIteers
At Expense of Public.

Washington.-Emm Wasser-
man, a retail meat dealer in Nor
folk, Va, exposed to the Senate
Agricultural Committee how prof
iteering is carried on by number
of meat dealers.
Meat from good steers is better
than that from thin steers or cows,
Mr.. Wasserman said. Meat from
corn-fed steers is better than meat
from CRASHED steers. An expert
meat buyer can tell the difference
between meats merely by looking
at them, he said. But the novice
can not. A proflteer, Mr.. Wasser-
man said, buys the cheaper kind of
beef, the COW meat and the thin
steer meat, cuts 1t up, and sells
the various cuts, such as sirloin,
prime roast and tenderloin, at the
same price as the non-profiteering
meat dealer sells the cuts from bet
ter beef, though the poorer grades
do not cost the retailer as much as
the better grades.
For example, the non-profteer
buys good carcasses at % cents
pound, while the profiteer buys the
poorer grades at 16 cents a pound.
The non-profiteer adds 25 per cent
OF the cost price to get q selling
price, so his selling price averages
30 cents a pound, giving him a
profit of six cents. The profteer
sells for 80 cents, giving him II
cents profit pound, or nearly 30
per cent.
