FOOD SITUATION BETTER

The Federal government has
announced that there is no need
for consumers to buy large and
unnecessary quantities Of food
IN anticipation Of future scarcity
and high prices. There are vast
SURPRISES Of all foods in the u. S.
The government is at present
finding out the causes of price
rises tina were totally uncalled
for. Housewives are urged to
buy only normal amounts OF
foodstuffs and to turn a fishy
eye to dealers who insist on
wartime prices when we are not
in any way involved in any war,
and while stead of a shortage
great SURPRISES Of food exist.
Apparently the local dealers
do not have much to do with the
uncalled for profteering as the
producers and wholesalers seen
Ito have started the ball rolling
The McDowell times. [volume] (Keystone, W. Va.) 1904-1941, 1939-09-15
FOOD PRICES CLIMB

Further increases IN whole
sale bulk food prices were re-
ported last week while federal
officials began an investigation
of the sudden upturn.
L. R. Via, U. S. District Atty,
for the southern part of the
state conferred with Joseph V.
Gibson, northern district atty,
and announced their study of
the situation would start at
once.
Via said at Huntington that if
profteering is uncovered the
law which likely would be in
voked is the anti trust statute
which makes it conspiracy
for two or more persons to work
together to raise or lower prices.
AS that was announced, whole
salers in the Charleston district
reported distributors, packers
and other sources of food stuff
continued to hike prices and
that the boosts over last week
were considerable.
One dealer said all grains
including meal, flour, feed rice
and sugar, had been advanced
about 25 per cent.
He said that meats generally
were up 10 per cent and that
some canned goods had been
pushed up two or three p er
cent III price.
Dry beans, the same dealer
said, led the entire advance and
the quotations on navy beans,
pic, etc. were SO per cent over
prices last week.
Another wholesaler reported
that beans formerly selling for
$3.50 a bag now were priced to
him at $3.50 and $500. You can
buy a few he said at tremendous
Iy high prices
He declared cit looks like the
packers and producers have
gone crazy" and said the
housewife who bought large
quantities of food because of
possible reactions from the war
IN Europe caused it all.

partment which undoubtedly
will touch on the part the great
bituminous coal industry will
De called upon to play should the
country be plunged into the war
If, Europe will undoubtedly be
carried to the third annual W.
Va, Coal Conference here from
September % to 80, by Asst.
Secretary of War Louis A. John
son.
This native West Virginian who
slated to succeed to the head
of his department and member
ship in President Roosevelt's
cabinet, accepted the invitation
to speak here long before af-
fairs abroad reached their pre-
sent critical stage.
Now his appearance takes on
multiplied significance and it
is expected that the annual con-
ference luncheon Sept. 20 will
be the outstanding feature of the
3 day gathering.
Col. Johnson knows we'll the
problems of the coal industry
both in peace and war and he is
fully cognizant bf it's import
ance should the United States be
forced into the current conflict.
Uncle Sam has been watching
affairs in Europe closely for
more than a year and Col john
son has been one of the key men
in a precautionary program
which should find this country
infinitely better prepared than
when the call to arms came in
1917.
The First World war is too
fresh in the minds of Americans
for them to forget economic con-
ditions that existed during that
time.
The Federal government hope
to have the situation so we'll in
hand as to be able to provide eff
fective regulation and control
and to keep the industry RUM
ing smoothly in contrast to the
skyrocketing prices and emer-
gency measures which were
necessary in 1917 and 1918.
Col. Johnson has devoted
much of his part in the pre-
paredness program to the coal
industry and it is expected that
he will reveal many of his find
fngs and discuss the plans which
have been formulated in his adj
dress ere. "
The talk is scheduled for noon
on September 20, the second day
of the conference, which is ex-
pccted to attract several humid
red leaders in the coal industry.
The luncheon will be held in the
Hotel Morgan, with A. G. Spur,
of Fairmont pres, ident of the
Monongahela West Penn Public
Service company presiding.
Among those present will be
Governor Holt, who is to speak
at the annual difference dinner
