DENIES PRICE
FIXINGFUTILE
Chairman Clarence R. vii
son Of Committee Re-
flutes Charges.

Charges that the District Fair Price
Committee Is a useless and expen-
siye" body were refuted last night by
Chairman Clarence r. Wilson. when
he was Informed OF the letter contain
ing the allegations sent to Attorney
General PalmeI by John II. Bray
snaw' president OF the District Retail
,Grocers Protective Association.
Chairman Wilson indicated his be-
lief that the letter was a personal ex-
preston of disgruntled dissatisfac-
ton with the committees fair price
campaign and not the expression of
the majority of grocers in Washing
ton.
The only persons connected with
the District Fair Price Committee
who receive salaries for their work
are the clerical force and the execu-
tive secretary" declared Mr.. Wilson
last night. He said that the highest
salary paid to any employe Is $500
There are three or four office clerks
and approximately the same number
of field investigators now composing
the force.
Chairman Wilson stated that he
had not read the letter in full, and
he did not make any further COM
ment with regard to the charges
lodged aginst the committee by Mr..
Brayshaw.
He said, however. that he under
stood that the last meeting of the
| District Retail Grocers' Protective
Association. OF which Mr. Brayshaw
Is president, was attended by ap-
proximately twenty-five persons
He contrasted the membership of
this organization with that of the
other grocers' protective associa-
tion, which had a membership OF
over 500, it is said. This associa-
tion has formally indorsed the fair
price campaign and one of its
officers is a member of the fair
price committee.
| The letter to the Attorney General
! from Mr.. Brayshaw charged that the
District Fair Price Committee "is
now resorting to a form of boycott
against grocers who have the cour-
age of their conviction, listing gro
GERS who have signed a so-called
agreement to sell milk at a certain
price and tending to brand those
who refuse to sign as unfair"
