EFFORTS BIG FIVE

New York. Sept. 14-Sylvan L.
Silk, treasurer of the National
Wholesale Grocers' Association. in
behalf of it's 1000 members tonight
issued a statement charging that the
big five" meat packers of Chicago
again were attempting to obtain con-
troll of the entire general food sup
ply of the country.
He also asserted that apparently
the big five" would have the ac-
tive support of the attorney gener-
ais office in scrapping the govern
mental restrictions that were thrown
around the big five by the Wilson
administration. after years of public
agitation" He expressed fear that
within a weee Attorney General
Daugherty might set aside those
provisions of the governments
consent decree" entered into with
the packers in 1920 whereby the
big five" agreed to restrict them
selves to the handling of meat and
meat products.
The idea that the department of
justice of the United States should
clear the way for the development
of an enormous compact food trust
to dominate if not monopolize all of
the nations foodstuffs is unthink-
able" said Mr.. Silk. THE National
Wholesale Grocers' Association
hears that the attorney general has
been won over to this strange atti-
tude because of sympathy for condi-
tions that have been alleged to exist
in California. He has received an
application purporting to represent
the views of certain California can
ners, indicating that an emergency
exists and that unless the big iye'
meat packers are allowed to buy and
move their crop. that the growers
and consumers will be greatly in
jured."
Mr.. Silk then denied that an
emergency existed, asserting that
California crops were being moved
through usual channels and also de-
MED that the big five" by the con
sent decree" were at present pre-
vented from buying and marketing
the crops.
I'm the first place." he said, "the
consent decree has never been in
effect. is not now in effect, and win
not be until February ~. The big
five are entirely free at this time to
move the California crops"

three per cent tax on toilet soaps
and powders which the House bill
proposed to repeal.
Five per cent reductions in the
taxes on fur articles, motor boats
and yachts, portable electric fans and
works Of art agreed upon by the
House were disapproved by the COM
mlttce which voted TO continue the
present rate of ten per cent in each
case.
The section of the House bill re-
ducing the tax on candy from five
per cent TO three per cent was amend
cd to provide that candy sold at
Wholesale for more than 40 cents a
pound should bear tax of ten per

ganS and baseball. football and
basketball equipment which were
eliminated by the House.
