While special agents of the department of justice are sifting charges that eggs, poultry and dairy products are being piled up - in cold storage to maintain high prices, and even force them high- er, Representative Britten of Illinois is sreparing to ask for a congressional in restigation into prices of meat. \ustralian Beef Cheaper Than Amei- ican, The proposal for a meat investiga- lon was prompted by an announce- ent that the navy had bought nearly 0,000 pounds of Ausfralian fresh beef % a half cent a pound lower than the st pricés of American packers, and 0,000 pounds of canned corned beef the Australian packers at eight ts a pound cheaper than the lowest Sniff a little Kondon's, the original and genuine Catarrhal Jelly, up the nostri Its soothing, healing properties qu lieve you.

Anti-Cold Storage Bill. Announcing his intention to ask for a congressional investigation of the navy's beef contract, Congressman Britten declared he wanted to develop why the public could not be benefited;| by the advantageé of buying from Aus- tralia if the navy could do so. Representative McKellar of Tenres- see has pending in the house a bill to prohibit interstate transportation of any food products kept in cold storage more than ninety days. He contends its enactment into law would go far toward solving the cold storage ques; tion. Prices Soaring for 23 Years. Agents of the department of justice took up-their work today in all the principal cities. They will report par- ticularly on eggs and dairy products, and will attempt to make an estimate of the quantities in cold storage and how long they have been there. Statistics systematically gathered by agents of the department of labor and made public here from month to month show that in all the principal industrial centers of the United States the prices of foods paid by the aver- age workingman's family have been soaring for %he last 23 in a great many instances have p the high price marks of 1907, were then unprecedented. cording to these statistics, commodit, ik Sugar, ac- is the only showing a reduction.
