"Wc have the authority and the pioper agencies in Pennsylvania for the establishment of public state markets," said Mr. Sproul. "nnd if wc find that such extreme measures nrc necessary to give the people lelief wc shnll set up such innrkrts. It would be somewhat of an innovation in Pennsylvania, but if there nic conscienceless profiteers operating in the state something will have to be done to put them out of business.

The beef was sold to another Chicago .firm of packers, Wilson & Co.. and was lcsold to the United states Gov 'ernment at top prices. These rchnrgcs, made by the federal trade commission, have been admitted by the packers over the signatures of their officials. The denial issued by Thomas K.

Kven our Kosher enrs coming into Noble street were off condition1. Ninety per cent of our beef unloaded this week was very stale. "Morris and Wilson had just as much trouble as wc had. Swift got by with piactically no trouble at all. Pos sibly this trouble may partly be ac counted for by the beef being held a long time at the plnnt, while Swift had cars and was able to keep closer up to ilnte on his shipments, "Wilson froze quite a little beef, some out of their own shipments ami some they bought. They bought beef from us at 132 North Delaware avenue that had been wiped up twice before we sold it to them. They bagged it up and shipped it to New York for freez ing. Tlley bought beef from Arch street that was bo bad that wc bathed it in vinegar nnd soda before we showed it 'to them. I think this.bcef also was shipped to New York for"frcczing.
