Department of Justices, placed a maximum price on live poultry to put an end to the gouging of consumers that was made possible by the abnormal traffic con- Gitions resulting from the present tle-up. | Last Monday The Evening World called the attention of the Govern- ment to the fact that the war regu- lations were still on the statute books, and that if applied to profit- eers the present inflated prices would soon come down.
