Commissioner as the (lov- '
ernor Desires ,
Director Frank B. McClain, ot the 1
Public Welfare Commission, has ac- 1
cepted tlie position of fair-price j

I says he will tight food gougers with j
publicity as well as the law. As |
! soon as the appointment is confirm- !
led by Attorney General Palmer, Mr. !
' McClain will make his headquarters
in Philadelphia at the present offices
lof the State welfare commission. I
"During the public welfare com-!
mission's tight against extortionate ,
.rents and the unfair practices of'
i landlords, the help of the newspa-
I pets was invaluable to me," he says,
j "Thousands of families would have
| been put out in the streets this win
ter had it not been for the interven-
I tion of the commission and the.
I threat of publicity held over the
heads of the profiteers. I called some
|of the gougers Shylocks and they
came around.
"I hope to he able to accomplish
a great deal in the light against food j
| profiteering by similar methods. The i

i a situation which can he controlled, |
j I am confident, by proper methods. '
| "I feel that the co-operation of j
j the newspapers will be more help- !

advantage of the technicalities of j

i stand publicity. It is more potent j
| than the act of Congress."
