UNEARTH PROFITEERING

Washington-A committee of the
United States senate has discovered
profteering by wholesale and retail
dealers in the District of Columbia.
1t is stated that retail meat dealers
receive a greater per cent of profit
than the farmer, live stock raiser,
buyer, railways, commission men,
cold storage and packers combined.
Retail prices are frequently 200 and
800 per cent higher than wholesale
prices. The report fails to recon-
mend any legislative active, but sug-
gests cooperative buying to elimi-
nate the middleman. The publication
of prices is also favored.

Baseball's hold on the American pub
