Report Slump In Meat Sales
Buyers’ Resistance Movements Gain Mounting food pri bi t two developments So Ea |
OME: District Attorney BRB. Howard Caughran sent out a call
“for federal trust-busters to in-|
vestigate two milk price increases within 16 days of each other. TWO: Local meat dealers—| packers and retailers—reported sales curtailed below the normal seasonal slump level as a result:
of growing resistance to high 8
prices. However, as yet no sign; of organized buyers’ resistance! movements such as are springing up over the rest of the country was seen here. Questions Price Hikes District Attorney Caughran sent out a request to the federal anti-trust department suggesting an investigation of possible price~ fixing combinations here after most Indianapolis milk companies raised milk to 20 cents per quart on July 15. This followed another 1-cent raise last week. “The apparent uniformity and unanimity of the increases leads me to believe there should be an investigation of whether there may be an agreement between prices just to be raising prices, or if these increases are based on necessity,” | Mr. Caughran said. His request went to the AntiTrust Division of the Justice De-| partment if Washington. This department secured evidence lead- | ing to the indictment of officials | of eight Chicago milk distributors last week on charges of} violating the Federal anti-trust laws.
Housewives Rebel Elsewhere in the country the increased milk price met the same resistance as meat costs. In many parts of

The campaign appeared to be}
having some effect. Wholesale meat sales fell to the lowest point in months yesterday at New York, although prices remained steady. The Safeway Stores at San Francisco reported an ‘“‘unexplainable” drop in purchases of certain high priced cuts. The fight was waged strongest at its point of origin in Texas, one of the nation’s biggest meat - producing states, where Mrs. R. D. Vaughn of Dallas first set out to show that the law of supply and demand works in two directions.
