Baker Feared Arrest.

One morning early in 1918 Food
Administrator Wilson answered his
telephone and found himself talking
to baker who spoke with a strong
Teutonic accent and asked for an i'm
mediate interview.
Certainly. but what do you want
to see me. about" asked Mr.. Wilson.
well. l want to shut up my shop
and go out of town for two weeks"
said the man, after some hesitation,
but ! don't want to get arrested"
AS long as a dealer makes only
fair profit on the goods he handles.
he need not consult the fair price list.
though he may save himself some
trouble by SO doing. The price at
which he may sell depends entirely on
the price at which he buys, and II he
handles fancy goods that cost more
at wholesale than the grade of the
same goods quoted in the fair price
list the government will not object
to an increased retail price. But he
may find himself in an embarrassing
position unless he keeps his invoices
handy to show why his prices are
above the ordinary.
The amended act makes it unlawful
to make an unjust or unreasonable
rate" in handling necessities or to
conspfre ito exact excessive prices.
but the final analysis as to what con-
etitutes unjust. unreasonable or ex.
cessiye prices must rest with trlai
fury acting in accordance with IN
structions from the court
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-11-09
Many Articles Included in Act.

Under the act of Congress the juris-
diction of the Department of Justice
and the interest of the fair price COM
mittee are not confined to the articles
enumerated in the fair price list. The
j., amended act takes in as ''necessaries"
all foods, feeds, wearing apparel. con-
tanners primarily designed or intended
for containing foods. feeds. or ferti-
/ lizers: fuel. including fuel oil and
natural gas. and fertilizer and ferti-
1izer ingredients. tools. utensils. imple-
ments. machinery and equipment re-
quired for the actual production of
foods, feeds and fuel
The fair price list includes only such
articles as are universally used and
make up the principal items in the
family budget. For convenience the
list is kept as short as possible as the
only means of publication is through
; the press. which has limited space.
! Fresh vegetables are not generally
included. as the law of supply and de-
mand and the perishable nature OF
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-11-09
Powers Not Understood.

Probably the most common miscon-
ception is that the committee has
power to fix prices. Even when the
war was in progress this was be-
Eond the power of the executive
department of the government, SO far
as food stuff were concerned, except
in the case of wheat and sugar prices.
and specific legislation was back of
both exceptions
= The chief function of the fair price
committees. under the original act. as
well as under the amended law, is to
determine what shall be a fair margin
OF profit, and see that this is not ex-
ceeded in the territory falling within
the committees jurisdiction.
Even today there are some who
seem to have the same conception of
the food controllers power as local
baker had during the early days of
the food administration. The bakers
as may be remembered We're under
very strict regulation. being required
to make out lengthy reports g to the
quantity and content of their product.
and any suggestion of irregularity
was the signal for an inspection by a
none too charitable government agent.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-11-09
Consumer Considered.

1t becomes apparent, then. that the
fair price list is issued for the con-
venience of the householder, the ulti-
mate consumer. to acquaint him with
normal prices he should pay, and pre-
vent him from being an easy victim
for the profiteer He is asked to send
to the committee any sales slip or
other information where prices exceed
those of the list. and this will be made
the subject of immediate investiga-
ton. If the dealer cannot explain the
high figure to the satisfaction of the
fair price committee chairman or other
representative of the Department of
Justice he may find himself under the
necessity of explaining it to the salts
faction of a federal court.

To the writer of scandals there is a
secret satisfaction about being anony-
nous that is far sweeter than fame.
Said the one: Each cloud
Has a silver lining;
So let us brace up
And stop our repining."
Said the other: mo cloud
Has a silver lining,
When the sun has set
And the moon isn't shining"

Advertising Pages Give Data.

AS a rule the retailers of Washing
ton have shown every willingness to
cooperate with the fair price com
mittee. and little difficulty has been
experienced in keeping track OF the
trend of retail prices. Any store
which shows Discrimination to re-
spond to Questions as to it's selling
prices Is visited by department
agent in the guise of customer. But
the most dependable criterion is the
advertising pages of the daily news
papers, and these are scanned daiIy
by Department of Justice agents or
omcials in every city in the country.
Rumors Of profiteering and boarding
come in almost daily and all of them
are investigated but few are found to
nave any foundation. Recently a
small! grocer who spoke very little
English was found to have bought
canned goods case at a time from
the Army store at Liberty Hut at the
rate OF cents can. and was Offering
them for sale at from Is to 20 cents
a can. Summoned to Mr.. Wilson's Of
nee he pleaded ignorance of the reeu-
Iations, and as he surrendered the
goods to the Army that same day no
prosecution was ATTEMPTED

Much Hoarded Sugar Not Found.

Rumor has had boards of sugar in
a dozen places in Washington. but
none of them has resulted in any ab
normal supply being found in resi-

been necessary here to resort to the
method followed in New York, where
members of the fire department were
ordered to make an inspection of all
warehouses as provided for in the fire
prevention ordinance. but to keep an
eye out for sugar supplies and report
all stores of sugar they found.
