ALBANY, Aug. 20.—The Public Service Commission, Second Dis- trict, announced last night that on ‘Thursday, Aug. 28, at 10 o'clock, in room 403, Hall of Records, New York, ft will begin an investigation Of the rates of the New York Tele- phone Company in Greater New York, Certain telephone rates were re- Guced by the commission July 1, 1915, under an order covering o three-year period and expiring July 1, 1918, No action was taken by the commission at the expired time, becau. of war conditions, during which rates were increased by the Postmaster General. The commission will notify the company and Mayor Hylan of its first hearing. There will be con- sidered the question of a yaluation of the telephone compafiy’s prop- erty.

Regarding the distribution of the milk fed roasting chickens, mutton and pork shoulders, the Captain said that he had)not heard as yet from the City.of New York. Deputy Com: sioner O'Malley admitted last Wonk that the city did not have the proper facilities to distribute that highly perishable class of foodstuffs. _ “Seoretary of War Baker has or- dered these surplus foods sold to tho municipalities,” said Capt. Stewart, sone o' i of New York, New Jersey | and Connecticut. “If the City of New York does not Want to assume the re- sponsibility of distributing these foods to the consumers, other methods may be ——— ‘The Evening World pointed out two weeks ago that these perishable foods would better be distributed through the trade houses-the Government fix- ing the cost of distribution to the re- ra and the price that consumers should pay. These roasting chickens must be thawed out judiciously and kept in a highly edible state until they reach the consumer. The frogen mutton/ must be handled by an ex- perienced butcher and cut up to suit the various classes of consumers, while the ffozen pork shoulders re- quire attention from an experienced meat salesman. A conference was scheduled: last Night between Capts. Stewart and lethwaite to study the best meth- odg of distributing the surplus roast- ing chickens and meats to the con- sumers. ‘The staggering storage holdings of butter, cheese and eggs as reported in TI Evening World on Monday astonished even those in close touch with the trade, and a lower range of values to the consumer ig inevitable and can only be deferred Dy artificial manipulation.

If the butter and cheese marketed were consumed in the same manner ag the milk, thé arrangement might have some of the elements of fairness, but when speculators bid against each other for butter and cheese to store for a future market, “puying blind” and sold later below the original cost price which deter- mined the price that consumers were compelled to pay for milk, it would Cherry Bios ssom Lane By JEAN SCHWARTZ From the “Gaieties of 1919,” at the Forty- ‘fourth Street Theatre THIS SONG Words and Music Complete N EXT Sunday » World seem that the consumers have been tricked and robbed by the ignorance or cupidity of their public servant: “The general demand for meats nt i, trade a isa nting. | When } tiked tthe surplus rant. wl wt have op prices, prominent wholesale dealer omg > fe "ioine ad ri | thee | and quarters of wel weil, bat’ chucks or t beet that can "be prepared without much can be prepa tI much | fire- build: or work Js wanted, bu! ordinary meat ‘ianast be inten away.” sumers re ba not pay more than & to 6 cents ¢ the finest, while good, found State should not cost more than 3% to 4 cents. sane are cheap.

The Government is authorized to demand information about wages and material and may inspect the books, papers and busi- ness documents of firms, as well as fx prices, adjust labor conditions and supervise the efficiency of industrial equipment. It also imposes penalties up to three years’ imprifonment and & fine of 60,000 marks for illegal pay- ments of money. As @ result of the continued down- ward trend of th German mark, thé food controfier has ordered the dis- continuance of purchases in Holland and Denmark. While the action is ostensibly based on the pretext that supplies already under contract meet most urgent needs and that these sources of supply may be temporarily dispensed with in ylew of increading arrivals of ovérseas shipments, off- clal concern over the exchange situa- tion ia held to be directly responsible for the controller's order. Newspapers declare the western frontier has virtually ceased to exist in view of the unchecked influx of American, English and French com- modities across the Rhine. IMilicit traffic through “the Hole om the Rhine” Is said to have alsuMed such proportions as to preclude the possi- bility of customs or other control. A» a volume of trade increases, the amount of German money required to finance it moves upward at an ac- celerated pace and results in the fur- ther depreciation of the mark, which, it i leged, is being slaughtered by speculators, smugglers and others seeking to remove their fortunes from the surveiliance of Mathias Ersber. fer, Minister of Finance.
