Hotel Supply Firms Win
Meat Price Markups

Certain hotel-supply firms will
be allowed to raise their prices
3 per cent on fabricated cuts of
meat sold to food purveyors, as
a result of ruling by the United
States Emergency Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday.
Independent hotel supply firms
are allowed a Is per cent markup
over wholesale prices but, up to
now, supply firms af1liated with
packing or slaughtering concerns
had been allowed only IL per cent.
In yesterdays opinion abolish
ing the differential. the court
held that "the present differential
would merely require the affili-
ates to undersell the independents,
competing at the same level OF
distribution. :"
The opinion resulted from an
appeal by a group of firms from
an Office Of Price Sterilization
order. ..-...
The complaint was brought by
the Jepsen Hotel Supply Co., 1121
