WOMEN

FOOD RETAILERS
Join With State Market Blu.
reau to Cut Profits to
SO Per Cent.

TRENTON. July s.-The New Jer.
sey State Federation OF women's
Clubs In cooperation with the State
Bureau OF Markets, has begun propa-
ganda to limit retallerS profit to so
per cent. For the last month COM
mitteeS Of women In ten cities have
reported retail prices weekly, while
agents OF the bureau have reported
wholesale prices.
Gross protits Of from rs 10 200 per
cent have been found to be common.
1t Is held by the bureau that this
prevents full use OF nearby grown
food products by the public and dis
courages production through lack Of
demand.
The bureau announced to-day the
string bean market has brokon. The
price here Is down to $3.50 a bushei.
Retail prices, however. show little In
cllnation to lower. Many stores
bought green beans for $3.50 bushel
and sold them for 25 cents a quarter
