HAT can be done and done at once to control retail meat prices in this city? What can be done and done at once to protect New York consumers from the rapacity of butchers who—as The Eve- ning World's recent investigation revealed—charge their custom- ets prices that mean a profit of from 100 to 200 per cent. on the wholesale cost of meat? How can Federal and local food administrators get a grip on the situation without waiting for slow processes of legislation to evolve a license law for retail meat dealers? | Few questions are of more immediate and vital interest to the. need at this time than to have brought home to them prontpt proof | that Federal, State and City food regulation, of which they have , heard so much and seen 60 little, is strong enough to make it power felt in every retail butcher shop where they deal. Nearer the sources of food production, the Federal Food Ad- ministration has shown that it means business. | ® It has laid a compelling hand on the sugar industry. It has forced the packers and wholesalers who handle meat to conform to its plans and take their proper place in its pro- gramme. | Why, then, in co-operation with local regulating agents, can it not take a longer step toward the consumer and, by exerting | powerful pressure upon meat packers and wholesale meat-distrib- uting concerns, force retail meat dealers to deal fairly with the public? Why can it not insist that packers and wholesalers shall refuse to supply meat to retail dealers who take the biggest profits they can exact, or who sell third grade meat at first grade prices? The Food Administration should be able to count on all the local co-operation it needs for such action. The Evening World, for example, would guarantee through | the already established and active organization of its Housewives’ Protective Association to maintain a close watch on retail meat prices throughout the city. | ‘It would undertake to verify reports of unfair dealing and| f give full publicity to the names and addresses of butchers found, | ), after investigation, to have gouged the public and thereby made themselves liable to the penalty of having their meat supply cut off.
