ONLY GROCERIES
TO SELL SUGAR
Price Commission Puts Ban
on Combination and Pro
miscuous Sales.

As a result of action taken by the
Marion county fair price commission, in
conformity with rules of the federal
trade commission, sugar may no longer
be sold in stores other than those han
ding food, according to Stanley Wyek-
off, Indiana fair price Commissioners.
Sugar has recently been sold by furni
ture dealers, jewelers. and others in In
dianapolis.
The committee also ruled that comb.
nation sales Of sugar shall not be made.
In many instances dealers have required
customers to buy other goods before they
would sell them sugar. Violation of
these rules will result in stocks being
seized by the federal government, Mr.
Wyckoff said This ruling will be put
before the Indianapolis Retail Grocers'
association tonight
John F. White, chairman Of the COM
nittee, reported that a number of re.
ports of rent profteering had been made,
but that the committee had no authority
TO act on them. He suggested the for
nation of a separate committee on rent.
The fair price committee has not vet
agreed on any margins of profit to gov
ern the sale of merchandise. The sub
committee on groceries and provisions
will meet Wednesday afternoon anad will
attempt to agree on margins for the sale
Of food. The mems wear subcommittee
reported that it had failed to reach an
agreement. The women's ready wear
subcommittee will meet Friday afternoon,
when it will attempt to agree on profit
margins. The boot and shoe subcomm1t-
tee also reported that it had been IN
able to agree.
