throughout the country must reduce
their prices as the wholesale price of
meat declines or else submit their
books to federal agents for investiga­
tion of their profits. This definition of
the government’s attitude was an­
nounced by Attorney General Palmer.
Instructions to serve the notice on re-
i »all meat dealers have been sent to
\ every United States attorney, he said.
Mr. Palmer's pronouncement on the
meat price situation follows the pub­
lication by the Iastitute of American
Meat Packers of a bulletin announce-
ing the practical cessation of fer
eign trade as a result of the adverse
exchange situation. Wholesale meat
prices at the Chicago stockyards
dropped to pre-war levels for soase
