RETAILERS KEEP
FOOD PRICES UP,
CHARGES HOOVER
350,000 Dealers Blamed For
Holding High Levels, De
spite Regulations
\
Hoover Turns Light
on These Food Facts
The average price of tiour a
barrel, $13.77, is from $1.50 to $2
greater than is warranted by the
wholesale price. The retailer is
reaping the excess.
The price of beef wholesale has
fallen one and one-half cents a
pound since July, but the retail 1
price has increased four cents in ,
that period.
The recent advance in sugar !
prices by retailers to nine cents j
and more per pound is absolutely |
unwarranted.
' Bean growers' associations in |
bean-producing states are holding i
their product for from thirteen
and one-half to fifteen cents per
pound, against an average, price |
last year of eight cents, and des- i
pite the fact that this year's yield j
is 7,000,000 bushels in excess of j
last year.
In the fact of a 59 per cent, in- j
crease in the potato harvest,
growers are holding their pro- I
duct for higher prices.
*■ 1
Washington, Oct. 19. Herbert
Hoover declares that the public is
paying too much for many of Use
necessities of life, and he placed the
responsibility squarely up to the re
tail food distributor. Quoting figures
to prove that while wholesale prices
have been reduced the retail figures
have remained stationary or have
advanced, lie asserted that 350,000
retailers, grocers and the like, have
balked the government effort to
Sjbablllke the cost of living and indi
cated that thty are beyond the con
trol of the food administration.
Asked if he would go before Con
ffreM in December lor power to regu
late retailers, he replied that the
c onduct of the retailers in the mean
lime would decide what he would do
in December. The facts he made
public to-day indicate strongly that
government regulation of all hand
lers of foodstuffs down to the small
est grocer, is possible. The only re
tailers who will come within the
scope of President Wilson's recent
licensing proclamation are those do
ing a business of SIOO,OOO a year or
more. Mr. Hoover said to-day that
they number only 1,200 while the to
tal number of retailers approximated
350,000.
Hoover Outlines Plans
1-acking power to compel the re
tailer to do business on the basis of
cost and a fair profit. Mr. Hoover de
clared that he intends to do the fol
lowing things in an effort to wipe out
excessive profits:
"Inaugurate a system by which the
wholesale prices of principal staples
shall he published in every consum
ing center every day, so that the pub
lic may know what the retailers are
paying for their stocks.
"Gather reports on retail prices
from 700 cities, average them and
make public at regular intervals.
"Let the public decide whether the
retailer is playing fair or whether it
is necessary to regulate him by law."
