SMALL PR0FIT ON LOAVES
Minneapolii Baker Testifies for the
Locals in Bread Case Before
Judge Redick.
CASE PUT OVER UNTIL FRIDAY
William M. Regan of Regan Bro.. Min
neapolis, who have one of the largest
baking plants In the United States, pro
ducing millions of loaves of bread an
nually, testified for the defense In the
suit In Judge Redlck's district court. In
which tho Jay Bums Baking company is
charged with selling shortwelght bread.
Mr. Regan's evidence tended to support
tho contention of the defense that the or
dinance Is unreasonable. He asserted that
his profit per loaf last year was one
fifth of a cent and that his plant paid
less than S per cent on the amount in
ested. Bread could not be sold at more
than 6 cents, he declared, but admitted
he had had success in "pushing" a 10-ccnt
double loaf.
"Ever)' housewife thinks the bread sue
bakes is better than any other," he tes
tified, "and It Is difficult for bakers to
gain her patronage unless they give her
lust what she wants."
P. E. Peterson, head of the U. F. Steam
Baking compsny of Omaha, -testified for
the defense, presenting similar views.
The hearing was continued until next
Friday.
