New York KILLS MADE MILLIONS S1NCETHEWAR BEGAN Millers Operating Profits In creased 175 Per Cent Must Fix Flour Prices Washington, April 18. While flour mills and middlemen have made millions in swollen profits since the war open ed, government supervision is gradually getting the upper hand and prices are on the downgrade, the federal trade com mission said in a special report to Pre sident Wilson today. Government price fixing together with food administration regulations over millers and distributors will result this year in flour being ' ' several dol lars a barrel" lower to the consumer than last, it was reported. At the samp time, the commission charged net profits of millers increased from It cents a barrel for the 1912-1913 crop,'' Gross profits of carlot distribut ors jumped from 22 cents a barrel in 1914 to 5 cents in 1917, and of small lots jobbers from S2 cents in 1915 to 86 cents in 1917. Millers operating profits per barrel increased 175 per cent in 1916-17 over the preceding year and profit on in vestment 100 per cent. The commission criticized the food art ministration's regulations limiting mil lers to fixed profits over cost. This method, it was held fails to furnish a stimulus to efficiency in production and offers encouragement in cost padding. It was also suggested that maximum flour prices be fixed. . .
