CONSUMER NOT
TO Be COUCED
is DECLARED
Justice Department Will
Act Promptly in Any
Profiteering Cases
BREAD PRICES RISE
BRINGS STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, July 6. (UP)
The federal government struck
swiftly last night to prevent the
consumer from being gouged by
profiteers operating in the shadow
of the national recovery act.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace announced complainants Of
sharp increases in bread prices in
various sections of the nation
were being referred to the justice
department "for such action as it
may find necessary"
The announcement carried a
blunt warning to business that the
antitrust laws still were in effect
and violators would be prosecuted.
Government officials charged
with administration of the COM
pick features of the national re-
covery act have made no secret
of their fears that sudden price
increases carried portent threat
to success of the domestic rehab-
ilitation program.
This fear prompted Brig. Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson. administrator
of the recovery act, to issue a
sharp word Of caution to business
men of the nation two weeks ago.
"The administration will not
tolerate wildcat price increases,
Johnson declared, adding no trou-
bic in this direction was expected.
He issued plea against peace
time profiteering."
However, reports are being re-
ceived from all sections of the
country to the effect that there
has been a general increase in
prices. Newspapers which the Of
fcials read here daily carry adj
vertiSements warning the public
that prices of various articles will
be higher in a week or ten days.
This has served to confuse the
male consumer whose salary has
not yet been increased but who
must pay for the necessities Of
life more than he paid before the
reconstruction progr m was
launched.
GEORGE N. Peek, administrator
of the agricultural adjustment act,
pointed out last night that the al
ministration had pledged protec-
ton to the consumer in the adj
justment measure.
"We do not believe" he said,
that there is any justification for
some of the bread price increases
that have been reported"
That Secretary Wallace strong
" believes there has been a law
violation in the sharp increase IN
bread prices was reflected in his
statement: ,
"The department has received
reports of concerted advances
made or to be made in the price
of bread in several localities" he
said. "In line with the usual gov
ernmental practice where appar-
ent instances of law violation are
reported, the government is turn
ing over to the department of JUS,
tice the complaints it has received
as to actual or prospective price
advances in other areas so that
the justice department may take
such action as it finds necessary

THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE

session. The adjournment has been
moved from Monday, 5 p. m. to Tues

1t is believed however, before the sun
shins Wednesday that the 49th ses-
sion of the State Legislature will
have adjourned and the prospective
candidates for governor will have re-
turned to their orchards in Union and
to Boyard to their white faced cattle
and some to law offices and even
farms. How many of this present set

come in with the Democratic landslide
will never have a chance to slide in
again. Banning (d) of Union said
that considering the inexperienced
men who knew nothing about the ma
chinery of the Legislature work and
the general condition of the country
and the many difficult problems that
he thought the work Of the legislature
was very good. He said the Legisla-
ture cut $3,5OO,0O0 off of the amount
raised by taxes to pay expenses of
the state government. We cut down
auto regulation 1850. 900. We reduc-
ed County officers 16 percent which
will save taxpayers much money.
Then we are assured of having a state
fair this year.

fers real estate taxes from May 1st

up the business of the session were

of Harry Bradley to act as custodian

years of leadership with us has been
progressive in every way. and that
he has lived a life chat is closely akin

ed: That the Deacon Board of this

ton and ask that he remain with us
