Packers Accused
Of Spelling Sales

A s30,000,000 corporation, formed to
purchase surplus army food supplies,
which already has bought IS 900 900
worth, is in danger of heavy losses
because OF the antagonsm Of the pack
ing companies, according to Edwin A
O'Malley, deputy Commissioner of Pub
lie Markets.
The brokers, Mr.. O'Malley said yes
terday, planned to resell the army
food TO chain stores and wholesalers.
One Of the statesmen Of the firm called
that he was being followed by men
employed by packing companies, who
were successfully blocking every at
tempt to make a sale.
This man, who is reliable. told me
that he made six sales yesterday" Mr.
OMalley said. when he returned to
his Office he found that cancellations
Of the orders had preceded him. He
said he was bewildered, and iuvestigat-
ed lmme mediately, returning to the con-
Germs which had practically closed
deals with him. Their answers were
evasive and unsatisfactory.
CAS- a matter of fact, the packing
companies can almost cripple even
large food dealing organizations by re-
fusng TO extend credit. The food
brokers, and | believe the packers, are
holding this power over the heads of
the companies and forcing them to de-
cline to buy commodities from the
brokers'. The corporation has large
stores Of hams, bacon and oleo
margarine.
The company offered to turn the
food over 20 me TO be sold in the public
markets and other public buildings.
being willing to permit US to deduct
the overhead and return the net re
eeipts. I vas forced to reject this
offer. | intend speaking to the Mayor
about the action Of the packing COM

The prices Of the army supplies will

Commodities on the retail market, Mr..
osialley said. The governments price

said, compared with 36 to 45 cents for
.hs same quality asked in retail mar

80 cents. The average retail price is

House Calls On
Baker to Sell
Food Surplus
Continued from page 1

by the Chief Of Staff on November
80, 1913.
2. That great quantities of the
food on hand spoiled.
3. That the inactivity of the gov
ernment was due to a well-defined
policy Of the Secretary of War to
withhold the supplies from the do
mestic market and protect the in
.e1ests from which these products
had been bought, with the ultimate
intention of disposing of them abroad
as far as possible.
4. That an agreement with the
Gamers held 200, 100000 cans of veg
etables off the market
s. That there is big surplus of
canned fish, sugar and other food
stutFs.
Representative Reavis, of Nebraska,
reviewed the testimony heard by his
subcommittee. "The packers dictated
Mr.. Bakers policy" he declared. "They
convinced the War Department that
the food sold to the army was put up
n such q manner and was of such a
quality that the American people would
not buy it, and therefore urged its sale
abroad
think Of the War Department for the
way it handled this surplus food sup
ply" he added.
Mr.. Reavis disclaimed any inten-
ton to blame General Wood or Gen
eral Rogers or Director of Sales Hare,
He said the blame rested solely with
the Secretary of War, whose policy
has been not to disturb conditions by
putting this stuff on the market"
Mr.. Reavis read the letter from
Quartermaster General r. E. Wood to
Frank Gerber, president of the Can
ners' Association, in which 1t was
promised that mo canned vegetables
will be put on the domestic market
this season" He then pointed out how
General Woods successor, Major
General Rogers, tried to sell these
goods and was halted when the can
ners produced General Woods letter

are also canning vegetables"

Wilson May End
War Prohibition
Measure Sept. 80
Demobilization of Army
Will Be Complete by
Then, Says Baker; Force
for Rhine Duty Reduced
Ne.D York Tribune
YTL

WASHINGTON, July 29.-President
Wilson will have authority to repeal
the wartime prohibition act by Sep
tember 30, provided the Senate has
ratified the peace treaty by that time,
according to the statement to-day by
Secretary Of War Baker before the
House Military Affairs Committee that
the army will be completely demobil-
lied by that date.
Representative La Guardia, of New
York, asked when, in view of the speed
of demobilzation, the army could be
conside red down to peAce-time strength.
II can definitely state" the Secre-
tary replied, that our emergency army
will all be discharged by Septem-
Der 30.'
Secretary Baker also said the Ameri-
can army of occupation would be much
smaller than originally planned He
asked, for military reasons, that the
exact number of Americans to be re-
tanned in France be kept secret, but
it became known at the War Depart
ment that the Allies have agreed that
the American force shall be less than
one regular army division.
These men will be kept there until
it is certain Germany will fulfill all the
conditions of the treaty, Mr.. Baker told
tha committee. The department now be-
lieves it will have a sufficient number r
OF volunteers among the men who have
recently enlisted in the army so 10
man who served in the war, unless he
so desires, will De kept in the army Of
occupation. All but 10000 of the me a.
who have served during the war will be
out of France and Germany by the
middle of September, Mr.. Bawer added
Mr.. Baker said that France and Bel
gium will maintain the largest part of
the army Of occupation because they
have larger interests at stake. Great
Britain, the Secretary added, will
maintain an occupation force large
than that of the United States.
The small American army of occupa-
tion is big reduction on plans orig
inally made by the Supreme Council of
the Allies At one time it was of
ticially estimated the United States
would have to keep 100000 men in
France and Germany.
Mr.. Baker, during his appearance be-
fore the committee, advocated the in
creasing of the authorized officer
strength of the army during the next
fiscal year to $4,000, as recently voted
by the Senate.
"Under the army bill as recently
passed by Congress, our officers force
is limited to 11,463," Mr. Baker said.
Such a small number seriously threat
ems to disrupt our entire army organi-
zation"
