WLB CREATES NEW REGIONAL OFFIGES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (U. P). —The war labor board last night

| announced creation of two new re-

gions with headquarters in Detroit and Seattle and reconstruction of 10 existing regional boards in a sweeping decentralization program. Prof. Edwin E. Witte, chairman of the University of Wisconsin economics department, was named chairman of the ®etroit board. The 12 “little war labor boards,” it said, “will have final authority in dispute cases, but the national board here will function as a supreme court, reserving the right to review on its own motion decisions made in the field.

with restraint of trade and conto monopolize the retail

food trade. The justice department

accused the companies of attempting to destroy the competition of independent stores and of engaging | in practices such as short-changing and short-weighing. Among the defendants in the anti-trust indictments, in addition to Kroger and Mr. Robertson were: Wesco Foods Co. of Cincinnati; Colter Cc. Cincinnati; Pay nm’ Takit Co., Cincinnati; John H. Sadler, Cincinnati, secretary and director of the Kroger Co.; Joseph Bappert, Cincinnati, vice president of Wesco Foods; Frank L. Reock, Cincinnati, director of purchases for Kroger, and Joseph B. Hall, Cincinnati, vice president and director of Kroger.

Claims Service to Buyers

“Our only crime, if it be a crime,” said Mr. Robertson, ‘is in having grown to be big and successful to the advantage of the masses of women who had need to buy good food at low cost. “I do not feel that the staff of the attorney general sincerely believes we are such bad fellows as may appear from the indictment. But this suit is their means to test their economic theories.”

had to be passed upon by a judge and jury and that the American public “may eventually have some-

thing to say.” Asks No Hasty Criticism

“The public should not jump to hasty conclusions ‘and criticize too harshly either side of this econtroversy, but await the result of a trial on its merits.” In essence, he said, the government wishes “us to unscramble our eggs and become 3500 units, which implies that mass buying, mass dis-

| tribution, and the large economies

in operation which are passed on to the buying public, are less important than their theory of economics.” “Another arm of our government is at this time endeavoring to recommend the very thing that Kroger is and has been doing for many years, that is, providing low-cost “food to consumer by buying direct from the farmer and producer and effecting the maximum of economies in distribution of same; Quotes Wickard “I might quote many recent extracts, as for example one from this article by Secretary Wickard in'the January issue -of Food Industries: Secretary Wickard: ‘American producers and distributors of food are, like American farmers, being wonderfully efficient. This is not the time to change basic methods and relationship in either food processing or distributing, just for the sake of change. Distributors and processors did & magnificent job last year. *‘On the other hand, the government has an equal responsibility for steering away from unnecessary changes in the way processors and distributors do business, and for ex: tending them all possible help in making the adjustments which are neaded. "»n “So ‘it remains to be seen which objective of our government will prevail. The issue involved still has to be passed by the judge and jury. Might it not also occur that our American. public may eventually have something to say?”
