Union Defines Stute
Marketing Policies

Policy to be followed by the Union
Oil Co. in its marketing operations
in Montana is indicated by the
following statement, issued by the
company:
AT the time Union Oil Co. actu-
ally acquires the properties of the
Glacier Production Co., it will as
sumo certain customer obligations.
These are substantial and as a re-
suit the operations of the property
are now pretty much balanced so
that immediate expansion on our
part is not justified. If additional
crude becomes available, Union Oil
Co. plans to extend its market in
Montana for gasoline, diesel and
other refined fuels and -distillates
through the introduction of Union
that time, it is our intention to
augment the distribution of Power
gasoline 1.-THE name used by Glacier)
rather than replace it. Power gaso-
line jobbers will be retained under
present contracts and arrangements
so long as they desire and condi-
tons make such a policy possible.
Meanwhile, Union is negotiating a
supply arrangement with Glacier
and it's jobbers for the marketing
of certain Union lubricants and
industrial products which can be
shipped from California refineries
and sold by the Glacier organization
on terms competitive with those of
other oil companies already in the
field"

This in spite of obstreperous
 wires received from Juneau and
 Petersburg meat dealers.
 The reason for this is quite ob vious. Juneau meat dealers have consistently taken a markup of ap- proximately ten cents per pound more than Ketchikan and the other towns in the Panhandle where acquisition and operating costs are practically the same. The specific prices, therefore, simply place Juneau prices on compar- able level with other towns.
 The Juneau meat dealers have been informed, that like all other retail merchants who are caught with prices too low to enable them to operate, they may apply for an amendment, backed by a profit and loss statement That proceed ure has been established by the National office; profit and loss statement and not the cutting test" is the true measure of the truth of their statement that they cannot operate under the prices set by us.
 The specific prices on beef affect every consumer in Alaska They have been painstakingly prepared. We believe them to be fair and equitable. If they are not, profit anG loss statement will quickly show that fact. We are deeply re- gretful that any act of ours must adversely affect the prosperity of any business man, but the plain facts are that the meat dealers in Juneau have been selling meat at highly inflated prices. It is our firm conviction that the welfare of several thousand consumers is more important than high profit margins to any one group of food suppliers.
 We would like to see the Ju- neau meat dealers follow the ex- ample of Ketchikan and give the prices a fair trial.
 This letter is written to correct a very misleading statement. I am sure that the Empire is just as anxious as the Office of Price Administration to have both sides of the story made available to the public and will feel that this matter is of sufficient news in- terest to their readers to warrant the paper.

COMMUNICATION

Editor, Daily Alaska Empire-My attention has been directed to a paid advertisement in the form of an open letter addressed to me plus some Notes for the Public, which purport to state some facts in connection with the Juneau meat dealers rebellion against the specific prices for beef established by the Office of Price Administra- tion.
 Even in advertisements, reputable newspapers like the Empire, I am sure, want to give the public the truth, and the addenda to the open letter contains one fact that is not the truth.
 Most of the other towns in the Territory have not protested the specific prices. On the contrary We have had but two protests from other towns. It is true that the Juneau meat dealers have wired the other towns urging them to protest, as the following wire re- ceived by me today from the Dis trict Manager of our Ketchikan office attests:
 After meeting with all meat dealers here today, managers
 have unanimously authorized me
 to wire you that beef specifics will be given fair trial and ex-
 press desire assist in every man. ner possible wartime emergency.
