CAFETERIA PRICES IN
u. s. BUILDINGS

Numerous complaints have
reached the editor of exorbi-
tant charges for meals in cafe
terias located in Government
buildings. How just these COM
plants may be cannot be as
certained at this minute, but
they are at least worth inves-
tigation by the heads Of de-
partments or bureaus which
permit operation of these con-
Germs. These cafeterias are
given space without rent
charges, and often they have
heat and light without charge.
Their primary purpose is to
furnish food to Government
employees at small profit. Gov
eminent officials who permit
these establishments to profit
eer at this time will be con-
demned.
One complaint before me as
/, to a certain Government build
ing alleges that the charges
are far above those in public
restaurants. Where these cafe
terias are in buildings con-
siderable distances from the
center of the city, and en-
ployes are compelled to buy
from them at luncheon hours,
the temptation to profteer is
great. Every Federal official
should limit profits of these
establishments to reasonable
figures, and if he does not do
so Congress or some other
body should investigate the
facts that the truth may be
known.
