UNCLE U. S. AGENT

BEGINS HIS FOOD SURVEY

Special Representative of Department of Justice Ex pects to Find Fertih ie Field In Region. Profiteers and food hoarders of ; the Calumet region are now receiving the attention of the U. S. De- j partment of Justice. Investigations which had been started by the federal agents were confined to other! parts of the sate and for some rea- j on this corner was neglected. Special Agent M. L.' Rabbitt, vvho has headquarters at Hammond, had been working in other cities for two weeks but this morning he returned to Hammond with orders to confine his activities to the Calumet district cities of Gary. Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago. In the orders received by Mr. Rabbitt -mention was called to the fact that tha -jffar equalization board had fixed the f.-ir price for sugar at ten cents rer pund wholesale and eleven cents retail. raiCXS THEY CAW CKAME. All dealers rho are selling sugar ua7"" dor licenses lssuedby the board are expected to charge these prices. Dealers m ho overcharge are to have their licenses revoked. f This opens up a fertile fletd for the federal agent as dealers in Hammond. iJary and East Chicago were reported last week to be charging various prices fir sugar ranging from eleven to eighteen cents. It is said that one big - holesaler the latter part of the week raised his price to fourteen and one-half .fnts. Several retailer flatly refused to buy from him and as a result they have tv sugar in their stores today. SEPOBT POODSTTJTP HOAUDX2TO. P.eparts have also been current that vast quantities of cured meats and groceries had been brought to Hammond Mil other cities by Chicago wholesalers and stored wherever warehouses could j b found. Mr. Kabhitt already hs at arc amount of information rart of i which has been worked up by agents in Chicago In their investigations of the packers and big wholesalers. While there are no packing plants or rold storage plants of any size in the Calumet region which would be suitable for handling fresh meats, eggs, chickens and batter in large quantities, there are many large warehouses which can be used for hoarding canned goods, sugar, cured meats and dried fruits and vegetables. These will come under the federal investigation and it is expected that some interesting disclosures will be made before long1.
