RESTAURANT PRICES
Boston Keepers Say That They Can
not Lower Costs.

not Lower Costs,
Boston, Oct. l8.ADespite the fact
that it was shown they were making
between 200 and 900 percent profit
on certain articles of food, Massa-
chusetts restaurant proprietors told
u. s. District Attorney Gallagher
they could not make any reductions
in prices, at hearing here to day
In fact the restaurant men declared
that the reason for high prices was
due to the excessive cost of labor and
material.
Asked for suggestions as to how
these prces might be lowered, the
majority said they had none, while
others suggested the public refrain
from eating costly dishes. AT the con
clusion OF the conference Attorney Gal
lagher announced that he doubted that
the case was hopeless and that he
v ould find some change could be made
as he had evidence OF profiteering,
that could be shown to a court.
