OId-time Racketeers Invade Rich Black Market In Foods

chinery for obtaining proofs. But the latter situation was hinted in one statement:
 The black marketers are running away with whatever available sup- plies are on hand, and with all the money that people will pay for prod ucts Cash is plentiful, but now where as plentiful as in the black market, and nowhere as recklessly used
 Two possible specific approaches to control over the black market were suggested One, to license every food dealer, including grower, pro- cessor, shipper, receiver, jobber, wholesaler and retailer, with a per- init revokable for black market oper- ations. The other, to allocate scarce foods among the various areas of the country to assure more equitable distribution.
 SEEK SOLUTION
 One important step toward con- trol of black markets, the commit tee suggests, would be closer coor- dination among federal, state and local agencies that now are working at arms length and often at cross purposes.
 Certain specific recommendations as to other controls have been con- sidered tentatively, but are being held in suspense while survey Is conducted among approximately a thousand of the largest fooc distri- button firms in the metropolitan area. These will be asked what black markets they know to exist, to what extent such illegal practices have muscled into the various fields, etc. On the basis of their replies, 1t is hoped that some promising approach to workable solution can be found.

 That is one major conclusion reached by q committee of the New York Board of Trade, headed by s. Stanley Kreutzer, after prelimin- ary survey of black market opera .tions, particularly in the food in- duStries.

 The committee is convinced that 0ld-time racketeers, some of them put out of business by much-pub- 1icized drives, plus equally unsavory newcomers of whom the public never has heard are muscling into the food supply business so success fully that they threaten the entire structure of legitimate business. even if they do not break down food price control and thereby precipitate serious imitation upon the country.
 The study was confined to the New York area, in which the Boards members are in business, but MT. Kreutzer says that reliable hsarsay convinces him that the same evil and potentially disastrous conditions are almost, or quite na- tion-wide
 Black markets are flourishing in virtually every branch of the food industry" Mir Kreutzer has reported to the Boards food division. There are few food products that come to New York which are free from the staint of black markets. There is hardly any purchaser in the line of distribution-and that includes the

 "If the present trend Is not checked the whole structure of price control must crumble. And If prices run away in the food industry, chaos will take the place of price stabiliza- ton.
 Every black market today means a headache for law enforcement authorities tomorrow. After the last war, racketeers flouriShed to the detriment of industry. Today, rack eteers already have muscled into many important food fields, and failure to eradicate these conditions will invite most active participation by disreputable clements.
 Black narketers have made much money and have put much of it aside. Every dirty dollar, every black market dollar made today is going to be used to fight legitimate industry in the future
