UNJUST, STATEMENT
OF WHOLESALERS

Wholesale grocers Of Richmond
Thursday complained that an injustice
was being done them in starting Of an
investigation by the prosecutor, and
the publication in newspapers Of rl-
mors Of an alleged case Of sugar
profiteering by a wholesaler.
The prosecutor Thursday morning
had not made any progress in finding
q base for the rumor, investigation Of
which he started Wednesday. One Of
the men who made remarks upon
which the complaint was based was
in Connersville, it was said.
The wholesalers protest follows:
In your article in the issue of August
9th headed "Hoarding Probe Is Made
Here" an injustice has been done TO
the undersigned wholesale grocers
which should be corrected.
I'VE have not been boarding sugar,
and what sugar refners have been
able to ship us has been distributed as
equally as possible through the retail
trade in this territory, and at prices in
effect before the article became
scarce, as there has been no change in
refiners' price SO far"
