that into government bonds. On soliciting

that this same father has received none

FOOD PRICES DURING
ROUNDUP ARE TO Be
KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS
Restaurant Men of City Pledge
Themselves Not to Allow
Charges to Mount to Such
Figures as Will Cause Talk.

Restaurant men OF Pendleton last
night pledged themselves to keep food
prices during the Roundup within
reasonable limits and not allow their
charges to mount to such figures as to
bring undue reflection on either
themselves or the city Complaints
made from soire quarters in both
1917 and 1918 led to the Commercial
Associations requesting an under
standing with the caterers.
All but two of the restaurant own
crs in town attended the meeting and
agreed to keep prices reasonable and
TO give ample portions with meals dur
ing the Roundup. They explained
that owing to the heavily increased
business they were obliged to hire
additional help and pay higher salar-
les and pointed out that some increase
In prices is necessary. The commit
tee from the association did not rule
against any raise in prices but asked
that they be only enough to cover
the actual added expense.
Another meeting will be held with
the restaurant men some afternoon
during the coming week when prices
will be talked over and at which time
the missing restaurant men are ex-
pected to be in attendance.
