I'VE are not buying future stock

CHARGES BIG FLOUR GOUGE

Washington.-An analysis of alleged
profiteering in flour. filed with the
United States railroad labor board by
W. Jet Lauck, consulting economist
Of the railroad brotherhoods, states
that wartime profits absorbed one
third Of the price paid by the con-
sumner for a barrel of flour, and that
so per cent of that huge margin was
chargeable to profiteering.
The actual cost of producing a bar
rel of flour in 1917, including interest,
freight, and other expenses of the
miller was only $780," says the re-
port. For it the consumer was forced
to pay at least $14.5O. Had the miller,
jobber, wholesaler and retailer been
content with reasonable margins, this
flour might have been available to the
purchaser at $11.57.
