Armin W of the “fly- ing squad” of Department of Justic agents, to-day double staff of the markets and large grocery stores with instructions to Riley, h sent a investigators into wholesale arrest on sight any Person caught pofiteering on account of the strike. The agents were also instructed to commandeer any large stocks of goods which are being hoanled or held for higher prices. | These goods, if commandeered, will be sold by the Government, Mr. Riley stated that as a result of his action in placing an agent of the Department on the floor of the Mer. cantile Exchange, speculation in but- ter had been prevented. He said there is an ample supply of butter on hand and more on the way from Denmark. The milk supply, Mr. Riley said, is normal, and aithough there is some- thing of a shortage in freah vegeta- bles, there is enough beef on hand to last at least three weeks. There are 4,000,000 pounds of army beef in cold storage here which is offered for sale at from 16 to 17 cents, as against 33 to 35 cents now being paid by butch- ers. For some reason not yet ex- plained, Mr. Riley said, the butchers do not want to handle this beef, Forty carloads of beef at Port Jer- to the city by auto trucks, and thirty additional cars are on the way from Chicago.
