Will LET HENRY WASHINGTON. lVe. L'2. lnvesti nation of retail prices of I'm d. 1 ;iel. shoes and t'lnihiiiK in all parts of the country was ordered today by Alt r uey General laiiKlieriv. Mr. I'aimherty said that in many localities prices were ton high and 1 ttailers' profits were "unconscion able," and that every efiVrt would be made to put retail prices on the prop er level. j Mr. UuUKluTty instructed lUn-c-l tor Burns of the buieau of investiua-; lion to assign men as soon as possi ble to various parts of the. country1 simultaneously to collect information, upon eurrent retail prices of fend.: tuel, shoes and clntitiii and at the same time to report t he wholesale prices of corn, wheat, bee:', meals of all kinds on the hoo: i-i order that comparisons mi&Hi be made of the retail ami wholesale prices of food. In many parts of the country, Mr. Pae.Kherly declared, retailers have organizations which tend to keep prices hlnh. "There is not a doubt in the world," he said, "that all ovt r the country retail dealers have an under standinK." Tin attorney general said that while many individual re tailers were not charging excessive prices, he intended to go after organ izations operating contrary to the law and particularly professional or Kunizers which evolved new schemed for evading the law behind a declara tion of an association to help compe tition." I'ublicalion of compilative prices hi different localities, he asserted, would do much to right the situation and lie said H was planned to pre sent the ditto gathered to the va rious ntates for local action with the co-operation of the federal govern ment where necessary. .
