bing at the hands Of the new food

the mayor, II the opening session Of the
body last night is any criterion. The
committee organized in Council cham
Der with celebrity by electing Council
man Alexander A. Abrahams Of The Fifth
ward, chairman, and Miss Clara South
wick. OF the Consumers League. as Sec
retary. Then four Of It's members I'm
mcdiately plunged into lively dispute
over the high cost OF sugar and why.
10 was the second start made by the
committee % organize and Il was what
might be termed In jockey parlance. a
running one.
Just prior 20 the holidays the mem
bers had attempted 20 meet and organ
ize. but the assembly proved what the
French call a faux pass only about
fifteen members appeared and the
Councllmsnic members OF the body were
OBLIGED % attend q session OF the COM
mlttee of the whole Of their own body.
But last night a majority OF the men-
bers including the Councilmen were
there and primed FOR action.
Hardly had Mr.. Abrahams taken his
post as presiding oflicer last evening
when Councllmen Abberger and Nc
Manus wanted 90 know wherefore the
tie-up IN sugar and consequent hign
price 20 consumers. They intimated
there was a corner In sweetness some
where. Messrs. William a. Hannig3n
aud William l.. Skellinger, both or
whom are Wholesale grOcers and mem
bers Of the committee, explained:
The cOuncilmeu alleged that durinS
the most acute stage in the shortage
Of sugar a number Of retail merchants
were forcing the consumer TO purchase
other commodities in combination with
sugar.
Mr.. Hannlgan said the grocers were
not only willing 10 cooperate with the
committee. but cou7te1 an Iinyestiga-
ton, as 70 would prove. 10 the people
they were not the proAteers they were
generally supposed 90 be.
Mr.. Hannlgan blamed most Of the
hEVh COS, Of fO0dstIffs upon the sub
sldizing Of growers by the brokers.
Many persons. he said, who cOmplslned
OF the high cost OF foOdstuffs over
looked the excessive prices OF other
commodities. Butchers, he remarked,
said thev now had a hard time diSpos-
ing Of their cheaper cuts OF meat
An Investigation. he said, will bring
the wholesaler. retailer and consumer
closer together and help the public TO
understand that the dealers are not
proflteers.
The. committee decided 20 meet again
next Friday evening, at 8 o'clock, In The
Council Chamber and requests any citi-
zen cognizant OF any case Of prohteer-
ing in the city. 10 submit complaint
either in writing or In person. Then q
