 Found, Says Unaer
By Associated Press

Atlanta, Ga. May 17.-Denia1 that any member of the National Retail Grocers Association had profiteered in food at the expense of the public was made here to- day at the opening session of the associations twenty-third annual convention by John A. Ulmer, president of the association.
 Attacking President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer for what he described as wonderful yarns" they told to newspaper men about profiteering, MT. Jlmer asserted neither they nor other public of ficials had found a single case of profiteering among members of the association. Admitting there had been some convictions on these charges, he said 1t was in cases of poor grocers who had not really profiteered, but who lacked money to employ proper legal de- fense. Many public officials, he said, had flung the term prof iteers" at the grocers and other tradesmen to win the plaudits of the public" Blame for high prices was placed by MT. Ulmer on the, wholesaler and the jobber.
