IifHceeptlng an Invitation to be pres
ent United States District Attorney
Kane said Ills tight against profiteers
would be helped if the fair-price coin
tnitlpp would draw up a list of prices
showing what is n fair profit. Luck
of such a standard nt present, the fed
eral prosecutor stated, makes it almost
impossible successfully to prosecute
those chnrgiug excessive prices.
Other developments in the food sit
uation here were announcement of u
plan for the establishment of n cily
owned wholesale innrket near the water
front with a number of retail markets
scattered throughout the city, a drop
in the price of several kinds of meats
and n statemeut by George T. Sale, of
the City JIarket Commission, that the
federal authorities have facts about un
fair practices nnd excessive proiits which
warrant prosecutions.
The wholesale market plan wns nn
nounced by Joseph S. MncLniighlin,
chairman of the JInyor's market com
mission. He plnns to present it re
port to JInyor Smith early this week,
indicating work accomplished nnd sug
gestions for future progress.
According to Jesse M. Diets, man
ngcr of the meat department of the
American Stores Co., prices of sev
trnl kinds of ments hnvc been reduced
substantially in the last two weeks.
Ham Down Seven Cents
Ham, tie .staled, dropped seven cents
n pound and is now selling for twenty
live cents. Pork shoulder dropped the
cents nn 1 is selling for twenty cents,
while chickens have dropped to thirty
five cents, n reduction of five ceuts
below the Thnnksgiviug prices.
In cleclnricc that he has made charges
I against dealers for alleged excessive
i prohts. .Mr. Hale said touay:
! "I have not made charges against
I nny of the dealers which I cannot prove,
and it is uow up to the United States

Meeting Today, Want Steno
graphic Report of Speeches
ACTION OPPOSED BY SOME
I The keeping of a imblie record f
every speech nnd nctton of members of
the Council ot twenty-one win ue pro
ftysed nt today's meeting of the rules
committee named by Jliivor-clcct Moore
nud headed by Francis F. lturch, of the
Forty-sixth ward.
Opinion n o the need of such a
record is divided, ns it nKo on the ques
tion of whether to allow (he present
body to organize committees, nnd to that
extent govern the new body. Advocates
of a record such as is kept by Qoiigress
say it would net as n chrek upon mem
bers disposed to miikc wild statements.
Opponents of the record plnu point
to the voluminous public Itecord of Con
gress to illustrate the evil that might
result from n similar move here. The
cost they clniiii would be prohibitive.
As nn nlternntive scheme It, is proposed
to have stenographers make it single
record of speeches and evptits without
having the records printed for the bene
fit of membej's nud the public generally.
1 A stenographic report, several mem
bers of the committee believe, would
i keep the records clear and at the same
time cost only the services of a limited
! number of nssistunts nud not Increase
l the already henvy cost of printing jour-
unls.

the backing of the committeemen.
Joseph P. Gtiffncy nnd Charles it. Hall,
of the rules committee, fuvor the plnu
lo have the present Cotiucils provide

The nuestiou of committees will come
up toduy nloug with the guncrnl sub
ject of rules. The miles committee, not.
being a body formed by Couucils, holds
executive sessions nud thu result of itsj
delibcrntious may not be known Ueli
nitciy for some time. Two complete
sets of rules will be taken up today. One
provides for committee formation by the
present body, the other for committee
formation independent of nny legisla
tion tlmt may be enacted between now
