M the job were admitting the failure of their efforts to curt price boosting among retail food dealers in this city, Th Evening World urged a practical plan of action as follows: Print lists of fair current prices for common articles of 1 post regularly where all may read. Discipline the retafl price booster by ordering wholesale dealers to stop his supplies. Pillory the food profiteer with icity, that the pablic ay avoid him and honest dealers ait in judgment on him. The Evening World did more. food It offered # concrete demonstration of what auch a programme could accomplish by itself publishing a tri-weekly table of fair curre:t! prices which retni] food dealers in New York should be expected to charge for different grades and cuts of sound meat and for somo twenty other common food products. The Evening World also showed Federal, State and local fori boards the substan‘ial help and co-operation they could count on from organizations like its own Iousewiver’ Protec tive Association in keep- ing watch on retail food prices and visiting with publicity and pun-, ishment any dealer found to be deliberately overcharging his cus- tomers. ; Friday of last week the Tederal Food Administration at Wash- ing officially announced its “definite measures to limit retail prices” by nation-wide ac “Through the medium of standardized ‘falr price lists,’ to be published in practically every hamlet, town and city in the country, Food Administration officials expect to protect the consumer from unreasonable price advances. “In every community the Food Administration will estab- lish price Interpreting committees composed of representatives of the wholesalers, retailers and consumers, This inter- preting board will ascertain fair retail prices on’ the basic commoditics that comprise a large part of the people's diet, “The final fair prices will be widely published. News- papers in every city and county will be asked to co-operate, setting aside a particular position in a prominent place on the same day each week. running the lists with conspicuous beadlinos, “Consumers will be asked to report to thelr Food Admin- {strator any stores charging more than the announced prices. Investigation of these reports will give the Food Administra- tion a basis upon whieh to work In separating the patriotle dealer from the profiteer. An Indirect control over the retall stores may be exercised by cutting off supplies at the source—instructing licensed wholesale dealers to sever busi- ness relations with the firms which exact more than a reason- able charge.” After six months, then, the programme advocated by The Evening World for New York becomes, in its every feature, the Programme by which Federal authority will protect American consumers throughout the country from the rapacity of retail food profiteers. What has been accomplished toward curbing one form of prof iteering can be the more confidently undertaken in the case of foo! ion along the following lines: another. | Even more formidable than the item of food in many New York family budgets, as The Evening World has pointed out, has becom the item of rent. In this city landlord profiteers are showing themselv ry ruthless as food profiteers toward incomes already heavily taxed by war demands. Against rent profiteering, as against food profiteering, The Eve- ning World is prepared to fight until it wins, Against the landlord Frofiteer it urges also its programme of defense: bearing on rents, taxes and realty conditions in this city, with a view to determining at what point the raising of rents ceases to be fair and equitable and becomes profiteering. Since rents depend upon local causes and conditions, let municipal authority come forward and seek for just stand- | i First, a prompt and open showdown of facts dnd figures | destin; to live a life of single ards by which advange of rents can be measured and con- } bleasedness, and 1° uly had not one trol reg.ct bout any the men who ." for Various rewsons did not marry What.
