This action is a vietory tor The Evening World in its persistent effort to bring relief to the overcharged consumer and re- leases for distribution 10,754,273 pounds of poultry, pork and mutton,’ Col, Carson, who is in charge of surplus army foods in the New York zone; Deputy Commissioner O'Malley, \Capts, Hippelwaite and Stewart, August Silz and the writer were at the conference, Not only were the preliminary de- tails arranged, but the price of poul- try probably will be reduced below the army rate for delivery to the city, Deputy Commissioner O'Malley objected to the price of 32 cents a pound for roasting chickens and Col. Carson agreed to go to Washington and make this price agree with the Commissioner's ideas, The price for delivery to the city will be between 20 and 30 cents instead of 32 cents a pound. This will mean that con- sumers will be able to buy poultry at 35 to 36 cents a pound, which has been costing 45 to 60 cents, It was agreed that butchers who deal with “family trade shall be of- fered these products. The distribu- tion of frozen pork shoulders and loins and mutton will be arranyed later when the cooler weather creates a demand, The surplus stocks which will be marketed are: Roasting chickens, 2,915.293 Iba; mutton, 833,020 Ibs.; pork, loins, 2,516,- 346 Ibs., In New York City and Jersey City; pork shoulders, 933,654 Ibs. in New York City and Jersey City, and 1,588,578 Ibs., in Chicago; while 2,017,- 448 Ibs, pork loins are stored in Chi- cago and Indianapolis, It was origi- nally intended by the Government to sell these foods through parcel post to the consumers, but The Evening World advised secretary of War Baker that this method was not prac- tical, as these products had to be thawed out mechanically and handled by practical meat and provision men, Dr, Jonathan P, Day, City Market Yommissioner, said he could not handle these foods in schools and sim- ilar buildings as he had not the proper equipment, The Evening World fur- nished estimates from practical mur- chants to the Government to distri- ute those foods to the retail dealers in merchantable shape and received the following answer: WAR DEPARTMENT, WAGH- INGTON, D.
