INCREASE IN ICE RATES CHECKED BYU.S.FOODMEN Peddlers' Attempt to Raise Ice Rates 10 Cents Stopped by Federal Food Adminis trator Allen. Efforts of ice peddlers, who buy principally from the People's Ice and Cold Storage company and the Storz company, to raise the price of ice to consumers from 50 to 60 cents per 100 pounds, have been checked by the federal food administration for Nebraska. Complaints coming to Oscar Allen, Douglas county food administrator, yesterday on investigation disclosed that raises in prices came from the peddlers. Representatives of the companies, selling to these peddlers, were notihed ot the action of ped dlers buying from them and requested to notify them that they must re turn to the MJ per cent price. Late yesterday afternoon the com panies stated that they had served no tice on these peddlers that they must meet the old price and that the ped aiers naa siatea mey wouia. some objected, but. rather than run the risks of having their ice supplies cut ott, they agreed to the old price. Companies Intend No Change. Some time ago representatives of the big ice distributing companies of Omaha agreed to maintain a price of 50 cents per 100 pounds to consumers and that the prices would not be raised until new schedules had been filed with the food administration and approved. The companies declare they have not raised the prices to consumers and have no intention of doing so. "We are interested in the price of ice to consumers," says Allen, "and will not permit a raise in price unless we are shown conclusively that such raise is warranted. Any peddler who takes it upon himself to raise the price arbitrarily will have his ice sup ply cut off. To Enforce Ruling. "We want any case reported to U3 where a distributor charges more than 50 cents per 100 pounds to the consumer." Prices have been raised to some of the independent dealers by the man ufacturers, the raise aggregating 5 cents per 100 pounds. This raise will not be reflected in the price to the consumer, announces the food ad ministration. , VOTE FOR iVJILLIArH.
