A spot check by the Chicago
Star of local markets showed
the rapidly declining meat sales.
IT WAS learned that the 149
markets of the Jewell Foods chain
took meat sales volume drop of
from $517,107 total during the
week of June % down to $454, 1886
in the week ending July 10.
Other spot checks of butcher
shops brought such statements as
the following:

held on the question of temporary
rates and one whole day was de-
voted by the parties to oral argu-
ment before the entire commits
sion, at which time all the men,
bers were present.
There is not the slightest doubt
in this record what rates were
filed and what the revenue effect
of these various rates would be if
placed into effect"
ON BEHALF of Illinois Bell
Jones agreed to remove two items
from the general increase grant
ed by the ICC June 24-the divi-
sion of Chicago into 10 zones, by
which rates for calls to suburbs
were raised, and the cut in or
iginal talking time from five to
three minutes, which provided IL
linois Bell with a hidden" rate
boost.
All other provisions in the ices
temporary rate increase order
were expected to remain in the
amended order which was ex-
pected this week.
They include another hidden"
increase in telephone bills by
means of a lowered number of
calls permitted for the minimum
monthly rate, and open boosts in
basic telephone rates of 81 for
commercial users, so cents for
residential telephone subscribers,
and 25 cents for rural service.
1T IS THESE three basic rates
which probably will be raised il
the ICC approves the petition
which Illinois Bell intends to file
as soon as the present rate in
crease request is made perma-
nent.
In addition, Jones explained
that the two items which the
phone company agreed to drop
from the temporary order must
remain in the permanent order.
The effect, it was pointed out,
would be an overall increase in
yearly revenue of more than
S35, 100000 for Illinois-and all of
it would come out of the pockets
of local telephone users and into
the Golfers of the House of Nor
gan, which controls American
Telephone & Telegraph Co., Illi-
nois Bells parent" corporation.

tinue to make record breaking

The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-02

The effect to Chicago consum-
ers would be two increases in
monthly telephone bills by Dec.
3-increases nearly doubling the
cost of telephone use to Illinois
Bell subscribers.
The phone company's request
must be filed with the Illinois
Commerce Commission and ap-
proved before it becomes effec-
tive.
LESLIE N. JONES. general So
licitor for Illinois Bell, disclosed
the intended increases this week
at hearing at which the first
$40, 900 boost was still being
discussed.
ICC member William Parrillo,
former attorney for Al Capone,
had insisted earlier that the COM
mission had intended to give IL
linois Bell "only" SIS, 0,O00-and
not the full $4,000, OOO-out of
the public's pocket. A clerical
ERROR" he maintained, caused
the additional $5,0OO,O00 cost to
telephone users.
Commission chairman John D.
Biggs, a small town banker from
Greenville, supported that line at
the hearing when he declared that
the ICC had intended a Is per
cent increase in revenue for Illi-
nois Bell, but that it chad not
foreseen" a $20,00O,000 boost.
THAT LINE was criticized by
Jones. With no apparent graft
tude for the ices permission to
rob the public, he reminded the
commissioners:
Several days of hearings were

THE figures were based on man
ufacturers reports, National City
Bank of New York findings, and
other Big Business analyses.
THAT was for 1886" the re-
port explains. Higher divi-
dends and stock 'split-ups' dur
ing 1s47 point TO even higher
rates of return on investment
this year."
International President Ralph
Helstein exposd the carefully
planted myth that farmers are to
blame. Department of AgricuI-
ture figures show, he explained,
that Wholesale prices shave
S Ga e d nearly twice as much
as the price paid farmers for cat
tie; and that retailers, as well as
ultimate consumers have been
compelled to absorb the indefens-
ible price increases imposed by
the packers"
OBVIOUSLY referring to the
claims of Republicans and their
Democratic allies who smashed
price control with the claim that
costs would go down, the union
asserted that ''if you don't see
crowds of women at the meat
counter which used to be so an
noying under OPA, there's a rea-
son. Most likely it is because most
of those housewives are at home,
wishing they had the money for
meat-and wondering how they
are going to pay the rent"
Steel and mining companies,
mostly controlled by the same in
terests. are predicting further
price increases. According to 1. F.

ment figures, as yet unpublished,
