of the administrator himself. And a

NEW TAX FOR
PRICE RISE
Lynch Gathers Data on Flour,
Wheat, Labor, and Other
Expenses of Bakeries

The bread price increase IN
Washington today was under tne
scrutiny of four separate 1nVestf
gatory bodies.
Apparently, the bread boost Is
to be looked into in a most thor
oughgoing fashion, with the Cor.
poration Counsel. the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, the
Department of Justice and local
civic organization known as the
Washington Consumers Council
making inquiries.
DuplicatiOns Feared
Although there naturally will be
duplication in the ground thai
each of these inquisitions will
cover, Robert E. Lynch, who is
directing the inquiry for the Cor
poration Counsel's office, said to
day he intends to work with the
various groups so as to eliminate
as much duplication as possible.
Yesterday Lynch visited the
Federal A. A. A. offices and dis
cussed the matter with Frederick
C. Howe, consumers counsel FOL
that body. Lynch also obtained
from the administration files flour
and wheat costs, as we'll as bread
prices in various other cities ol
the country.
Labor Costs Studied
Today he went to the Depart
ment of Labor to seek data or
labor costs in the making O.
bread.
Lynch explained that as yet HI
has not had opportunity to scru
tinize the information he has col
lected to indicate whether or no
he believes the bread boost is JUS
tified-the issue which Senator
King, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, requested be de
termined.
Before he left his office toda!
Lynch was visited by a represen
tative of the local bakers who out
lined the factors which enter int
the present cost of bread. He eX
planned that the processing tax
which recently became effective
has boosted flour and wheat price
and thereby increased the cost O.
making bread.
Union labor representatives hat
an appointment with Lynch fo
this afternoon, but the corpora
ton counsel investigator said n
did not know the nature Of the in
formation they desire to presen
to him.
Antitrust Laws Involved
The Department of Justice L
interested in the 1-cent breat
boost only from the standpoint
of determining whether or no
there has been any attempt tt
violate the antitrust laws by fix
ing prices in the District.
DR.. Howe decided to look int(
the situation following receipt ol
q telegram from Henry Stude
president of the American Bakers
Association, which said thai
bread prices have been highel
here for several years due tt
higher wage contracts which re
fleet increased costs in both pro
duction and distribution.
The telegram was in ansWei
to question propounded tt
Stude by DR.. Howe as to why
bread costs in this city had beer
higher since 1881 than the av
erage cost in 81 cities through
out the country.

A HUNK OF JUICY JOURNALISTIC MUD
Beer Parlor Writ
To Wait in Trial

Abe Rothenberg, proprietor
of a beer parlOr at 1924 Glen
wood avenue, who charged his
beer license was revoked be-,
cause he refused to allow gang
sters to place slot machines in
his establishment and because
he refused to allow gangsters to
dictate what brands of beer he
should sell, was denied a tenn
porary injunction by Judge e.
A. Montgomery today.
Rothenberg sought a temper
airy injunction to prevent the
city clerk from publishing the
councils, order revOking his
beer license. Judge MOntgOm-
cry refused this petition, but
ordered the action placed on
the court calendar for trial on
its merits September Is.
In his petition, ROthenberg
alleged the council was being
"duped by a group of gang
sters who sent men to his estab-
lishment to create disturbances.

we will attempt to straighten
out the impression created
among the readers Of the deli
cious morsels.
To start with, Alex Kanter,
attorney, in attempting to earn
a fee, did make the quoted re-
mark, stating expressly that it
was his opinion. He did not
make any charges. We don t
know why, but it is considered
ethical for counsel to shoot off
his mouth and say anything he
happens to think about, in an
effort to advance reasons why
he should win his cases. If his
remarks-his opinions and ex-
pressed Thinks happen to
destroy the reputation Of a few
officials who are trying to- do
their duty, it's just too bad.
And if a daily paper decides to
publish the ''thinks under a
false and misleading headline,
that's just too bad also.
The facts in the matter in
volved are as follows: Abe
Rothenberg is the holder of a
license to conduct restaurant
and beer parlor at the address
given. The real owner is said
to be Heinie Honing, a man who
earned livelihood "stooling"
for the Feds in the days before
beer was a legal commodity.

two, known as the Beer Mug,
has become a social cesspool.

court, is just a Woodworking
woman, doing day work. How
ever, because of her bustling
and hustling about, she was ar
rested on a charge Of vagrancy
and was sentenced to twenty
days in the workhouse. Her
husband, III. Pratt, white, a
junk peddler, came to see Mary
one morning. He ambled up to
the wOmen's section and be-
came very abusive, according
to Minnie Staples, matron. She
ordered him out of the dormi-
tory. Mr.. Pratt resented this
type of treatment and made a
pass at Miss Staples. She recip-
rocated by calling two jailers
and now Mr.. Pratt will have to

age, who were residing at SIG
Glenwood. The pair, Arnold
Jusenius and Edward Nelson,
were suspected of window
breaking preparatory to burg
larry. There was no evidence to
back up the suspicion, and they
were charged with vagrancy.
While being questioned at po-
lice headquarters, the young
sters told of buying beer at the
Beer Mug, not only once but on
several occasions.
The license bureau was i'm
mediately informed of the
statements made, and Russell
Alderman of the bureau at
once made an investigation. He
supplied the City Attorneys Of
flee with an affidavit detailing
the results of his investigation.
Drunkenness, brawls within
and without the place, and min
ors galore in attendance were
the gist of the discoveries made
by Alderman. Also, it devel-
oped that both Of the Fourth
ward Aldermen, Fruen and
Currie, had received numerous
complaints from neighbors OF
the Beer Mug. The Council
license committee acted, and
recommended the revocation of
the license. The Council ap-
proved the action Of the COM
mittee, and the legal action en-
sued.
Jack Kittredge, mentioned in
the daily paper account as hav-
ing made an affidavit, was new
err in the place in his life, and
made no affidavit, and Kanter,
the counsel, did not ask why
Kittredge had not made an ar
rest. The result Of the article,
as published, could be naught
but unfavorable. Enemies of the
present administration natur-
ally seized upon the alleged
facts and gave them wider pub
licity, while decent citizens
were aghast at the state of af-
fairs they believed existed in
