GREAT FALL IN MEAT SALES

day. "But we can't help It," a retailer
added.
Meats have never been higher than
for the last two weeks, dealers say.
The, falling off In sales rany bring down

Frank 11, McOlaln, federal fair price
commissioner for Pennsylvania, and the
Wan who predicted hlxh ment prices.
ays the consumer must now fight his
battle against increasing price of food
stuffs nlonc, as the United States Dis
trict Court in this district has icfused
to enforce the I.cver act.
Mr. McClain confessed he is in a
peculiar position due to the fact that
while tho Lever act has not been upheld
by the courts of eastern l'ennslvnula
tho courts of western Pennsylvania have
declared It valid. He Is able to prosecute
iia the western part of the state and said
that through his ngcuts he he has been
i able to surb the profiteering to such
on cxteut that the prices of the neces
sary foods arc much lower in the
western part of the state than in the
eastern portion.
A retailer may be arrested for
charging an excessive profit In Dauphin,
Lebanon or York counties, but ecn if
a much higher percentage of profit were
added hi l'hlladelphla, Ducks, Chester,
Berks, Delaware or Lancaster coun
ties nothing could be done by the fair
nrice commissioner.
"We have better control of the shoe
and clothing retailers," continued Mr.
McClain, "as they have agreed, through
their representatives, on n percentage
which is considered u fair profit'
Seventeen courts throughout the coun
try hae upheld the Lever act nnd six
have declared it unconstitutional. It
has aUo been upheld by two United
States Circuit Courts of Appeals.
Eventually the legal question will be
'solved by the Supreme Court, but for
the present the consumers will liae to
deal with the retailers directly in this
part of the state, as the I air-Price
C6ramlsslon literally has its hands tied
and cannot aid through the courts.

GROWING FAST
For the first six months of this year, ending June 80, we opened
43 New American Stores
We are very proud of this record, especially so in the light of present-day
conditions, when so many are pessimistic regarding the future. We do not belong,
however, to that class. We are optimists, having the greatest faith in our Ameri
can manhood and womanhood, the greatest confidence in our nation's ability to
surmount any difficulty, to solve any and all problems pertaining to our growth and
national life.
It is this confidence in the good judgment of the public in general to recog
nize merit that has always been our mainstay, spurring us onward in an effort
rencJf eer service, and encourages us to still further expand.
Tho fact that public confidence lies at the root of permanent patronage
has never been more clearly demonstrated than in the growth and development of
this wonderful business institution.
Our thanks are due a confiding public, that have rewarded our efforts to
serve and please, by a constant, continued and sustained patronage.

desires to express regret at the publication by it
of a statement that it had won its fight for the
open shop. While it is true that on July 2 the pre
liminary injunction order as set forth in the pub
lication was made by the Court, yet this order
was not intended by the parties or by the Court
as anything more than a stay-order. The hearing
has now been concluded and the Court has taken
under advisement the question whether or not
the preliminary injunction should be continued.
