en- las tiendas y mercados los art.culos

EStos comit6s Sc llamaran "Fair Pri-

de cinco miembros, nombrados en- la
siguiente forma: un comisionado del
gobierno, un representative del publ
CO en- general, una mujer en- represen-
taci6n de las amas de casa; un repre-
sentantc dc los detallistas y otro por
los almacenistas. Estos tlltimos entran

Los cinco miembros de este comite Sc

Ell Comisionado Federal, Mr.. Harry
S. Hubbard, prosigue activamente sus
investigaciones en- ciertos casos que lie
han informado, de comerciantes que
han exigido precios exorbitantes por
articulos de consume.
En- su poder hay una carta suscrita
por seis dueiios de panaderias de San
Juan, en- la que estos suplican encare-
cidamente, y nombre de la "'humani-
dad'' q. el cargamento de harina lie
gado recientemente por el vapor 'Blan-
chester (del cual hay 2010 sacos pa
ra ell puerto de San Juan) sea fisca-
lizado y repartido eqrutativamente.
A juzgar por los terminus de la car
ia, los duefios de panaderias temian que
los sacos de harina fuesen acaparadcs
por alguien, que, valiendose de la opor-
tunidad, exigiese luego precios extra
ordinarios. Una investigation fue he
cha inmediatamente
Aver mismo, ell senior Hubbard, reci-
bio un telegrama de Mayaguez, en- ell
que ell selor Medina Gonzalez lie in
formaba que el pueblo Sc habia reu-

Mr.. Hubbard, sin embargo, entien-

de Ell MUNDO-qpe ell pueblo no de-
be perder initilmente su tempo ell dis
quisiciones Y protestas, que no pueden
conducir fines PRACTICES, sino delatar
cualquier exaccion de los comerciantes.
Una de las denuncias presentadas al
Comisionado Federal procede de un
vecino de Santurce quien lie cobra
ron 25 centavos por un pots de leche
condensada, cuyo valor era soiamente
diez y siete. Inmediatamente Sc hizo
una investigation, pero no Sc pudo pro-
