Syndicate to Cut Grocery Prices
One-third Formed i'm BROOKLYN
Forty-eight Proprietors Plan Association of All
Stores There and i'm Queens for Collective
Buying to Speed Living Cost Drop

A plan for organizing the grocery
stores of Brooklyn and Queens into a
central association, whereby, it is con-
tended by the hackers, the retail cost
of groceries may be reduced about
33 1-3 per cent to the consumer, was
launched yesterday with the formation
Of the Retail Grocers Syndicate.
The syndicate starts with a member
ship of forty-eight grocery store pro-
prietors, and with headquarters at As
Washington Street, Brooklyn. 1t is the
aim of c. n. Bevers, president. and the
other officers of the association to Oh
tain as members all Of the "indepen-
dent" retail grocers Of Brooklyn and
Queens.
While organized primarily to combat
the competition Of the chain grocery
stores, which are able to underscl the
unorganizcd stores through their great
or buying power, the syndicate plans
through cooperative buying not only to
meet most chain store prices. but even
to cut these on some items.
The public, it is pointed out, will be
the chief beneficiary when this price
cutting war begins.

lowing statement concerning the syn
dictate and its plans:
"Formation Of the syndicate is ONO
outcome of the recent national conven-
ton of retail grocers in New York,
whore it was decided practically unani-
mously that cooperative buying now
appears as the sole path OF salvation
for the small retail groccrs, who are
having strenuous fight for existence
in competition with the vastly greater
buying power of the chain stores.
Cur plan is to organize and CEN
tralize the buying power of the 'in-
dependent stores so that we not only
will meet the prices of the chain stores
but also will undersell them in some
respects, thus forcing them to reduce
their prices still further.
81 estimate that by this plan ne can
reduce the cost Of living to the con-
SINNER approximately one-third, so far
as groceries are concerned.
"Our organization should prove a
trem endous factor in restoring the cost
of living 10 normal. We are anxious to
help both tho public and ourselves to
get back to normalcv.'"
Other officers Of the syndicate are

to carry their point. As to the indif-
ference shown by the members Of the
bakers union to the high price Of
bread, this statement is made by Mr..
wages, each employee gets bread and
rolls for his family worth IS week,
and sometimes twice that amount, and
| have been powerless to stop them be-
cause it is understood in my line Of
business that employees can take home
daily bread and rolls for their families"
Justice McAvoy granted the prayed
for order directing the union workers
from interfering with Mr.. Schlesingcr
or his customers. SO the Schlesinger
family will continue to turn out bread
and rolls at reduced rates, while the
striking workers will have to find their
daily bread elsewhere.

his bread at two cents pound, and his
rolls at four cents dozen cheaper
than he had sold them before and his
business has been thriving.
But that condition, according to the
baker, did not please the union officials,
and they began to picket the Schlesinger
establishment to discourage customers
from buying. 1t was this action that
induced Mr.. Schlesinger to 90 to court.
He asked for an injunction restraining
Che union members from walking up
and down in front of his place and in
terfering with the people who want to
avail themselves Of the cheaper bread
and rolls.
Acts of Violence Alleged
He also complained that the defend
