POTATO PRICES
IN SLUMP HERE
Bumper Crop and Growers
Fear Dry Rot.

A reduction in the wholesale price of
potatoes went into effect here today.
when commission houses announced that
potatoes would be sold at So and $3.50
per 150-pound sack.
This is a general reduction of 81 per
sack.
The reduction ia due, commission men
said, to the fact that there has been a
bumper crop this year and growers are
forcing the drop on the market because
Of their fear that It will be attacked by
dry rot and also because there is no
plausible reason In view for holding It
In hopes of higher prices.
Last year many growers held their
crops and lost heavily. due to attacks of
the dry rot and the experience seems TO
have made them cautious.
With reports coming In from over the
country that everywhere there are bum
per crops. and with the reduction In other
commodities. some wholesale commission
men predict even further reductions In
potato prices.
So far the prices Of none OF the other
so-called staple products have dropped In
local wholesale markets.

'ESCHBACH FINDS
LAW VIOLATED;
DOES NOTHING
Republican Officials Fail to
Prosecute Alleged Combine
in Restraint of Trade.
PLAN TO SWAY VOTERS

Jesse Eschbach. in his official capacity
as head OF the Goodrich coal commits
sion, declares. in a public statement,
that he has discovered d combination in
restraint of trade, which combination
tends to increase the price of coal to
the consumers in Indiana.
There is in the statute books Of
Indiana a special statute, enacted many
years ago, designed to deal with just
such conditions as Mr.. Eschbach pub
liceIy declares he has uncovered.
Mr.. Eschbach has done nothing to
start any prosecutions in accordance
with this statute, and the other officials
who are specifically charged with the
enforcement of this statute, say they
have no information such as Mr.. Esch-
bach declares he possesses.
For several weeks there has been an
undenied report in circulation that the
managers Of the Republican campaign
hoped to finish the campaign with a
whirlwind drive against the coal Industry
In Indiana In the hopes OF making the
voters believe that relief from the high
costs of coal can only be obtained through
the continuation OF the Goodrich -McCray
administration OF Indiana.
COMPARISON FOR
JUDGING SINCERITY.
The sincerity Of Mr. Eschbach's public
announcements may be judged by com.
parison OF his statement relative to the
coal industry with the statutes Of tha
State.
Mr.. Eschbach says
This commission has evidence to show
that retailers in some Indiana commu.
mites have such a close organization
with Indiana operators that no customer
in certain territories can buy pound Of
coal direct from mines or colIieries un-
less the coal goes through the hands Of
a retailer who collects his regular proit. "
