MAYOR AND URE
ARE OPPOSED TO
RINGER POLICY
Composite Police . "Commis
sioner" Has First Dis
agfeemnt Over Authori
ty of Pattullo.
Mayor Smith and Commissioners
Ure and Ringer, the new composite
r.olice commission, had their first
. disagreement in city council yes
terday; when the mayor and Mr.
1're expressed opinions adverse to
r.e wishes of Mr. Kinder.
Last week Mr. Ringer tacitly
agreed to fall in line with the mayor
:ind Mr. Ure on police department
policies, in an effort to bring order
out of the chaotic condition of the
, police department and to yield to the
insistent demands of business men
who have been saying some plain
Jiings to the city commissioners.
The Fight Is On.
The duties and rank of the new
police inspector, Andrew Pattullo,
who was appointed last Saturday
night by Chief of Police Eberstein,
precipitated a near-riot in the city
council chamber, in connection with
a new police department salary
ordinance which was recommended
for passage. ,
. Police Commissioner Ringer stated
that in an ordinance he is preparing,
he will make it plain that he wants
the inspector to be the ranking of
ficer next to chief of police so that
when the chief is absent, there will
be no question as to authority.
Mayor Smith and Commissioner
lire insisted that there should be no
interference with the chief of the
detective's department.
1 Commissioner Zimman suggested
'that . Mr.. Ringer should go on an
other two weeks' trip to determine
ust what the duties of tne inspec
tor should be. Mr. Ringer explained
that while the inspector will be in
charge of the uniform men and the
i-hief of detectives will direct the de
tective department, he wanted it un
derstood that the inspector should
rank next to the chief of police.
Opposes Any Interference.
"The chief of detectives should
have absolutely a free hand." the
mayor said, "and if I hear that the
chief or anybody else is interfering
with the work of the chief of detec
. thes, I will oppose such interfer
ence. : ' ...
When Mr. Ringer asserted, In
the absence of the chief of police
the inspector would be in charge of
the police department," Commis
sioner Ure replied:
"Not a bit of ifr; the police and
detective departments should be
separate and distinct. I don't think
thV inspector should be over the
chief of detectives. The superin
tendent of police woul-l be in
charge in the absence of the chief
of police." ... '
"I defy you to name a city where
the chief of police is not in absolute
charge," said Commissioner -Zimman,
whereupon Mr. Ringer charged
Mr. Zimman with talking beside the
question.
1 Mayor Assails Zimman. .
Then the mayor reached over to
the councilmanic Christmas tree and
pulled this one 6ff for the benefit of
Mr. Zimman:
"You have not offered one con
structive suggestion since you have
been in this council., I have listened
to this 'for a year and a half and I
won't listen to it for another year
and a half. I will not attend the
council meetings if I have to listen
to it any longer." , .';
Commissioneri Falconer' insisted
that the inspector should rank next
to the chief of police.
Provisions of Ordinance.
The police department salary or
' dinaice, which was the basis of the
discussion, contained an item that
the salary of the inspector of police
should be $200 per month, the same
as the chief of detectives. The or
dinance as recommended for pas
sage contained the following salary
" t Patrolmen, $125 per month forj
six months probationary period,
$125 for second six months, $130 for
third six months and $140 thereafter.
.Detectives, $150 for first six
months and $165 thereafter; ser
geants, $160; lieutenants, $170; cap
tains, $185.
Mr.' Ure recommended starting
pojicemen at $115 per month, but
the mayor insisted the city needed
men who are worth $125 per mdnth
to start with.

tion.
The movement inaugurated at
that time to gain control over -the
cost of living has been largely in
the hands of the Department of Tus-
tice. It should be helpful to point
out what has already been accom
plished and whkt further steps are
in contemplation, lo assess the sir-
uation it is necessary td look back
and ascertain what the trend of
prices has been in past years.
Trend of Prices Upward.
"Taking retail food prices as a
oasis, tne index numbers otthe
United States Bureau1 of Labor sta
tistics from 1911 to 1919 indicate
that up to 1919 there has been a no
ticeable trend upward in such prices
in the, fall of the year whereas since
August his year such retail prices
have been kept practically station
ary. By way of illustration, during
the period August to .November, in
elusive. 19161 there was an advance
in retail food prices, as indicated by
the bureau of labor statistics of 13
points, in 1917 18 points and in 1918
16 points, as compared with no in
crease whatsoever in the correspond
ing period of 1919. Considering the
four years from 1911 to 1915 inclu
sive, retail prices show a slight up
ward trend from September 1 to Oc
tober 1, a greater upward trend from
October 1 to November 1, and re
mained practically 'stationary from
November 1 to December 1. Dur
ing the four years from 1915 to 1918,
inclusive, retail food prices show a
decided upward trend from August
1 to September 1 and to October l,
and a slightly lessened but decided
upward 'rend to November 1 and to
December 1. This year during sep
tember and October an actual re
duction m the general level of retail
prices was effected as compared with
August, while the figure for Novem
ber, alhough slightly above that of
October, shows no increase above
the August returns. In other words,
the 6ffi:ial data clearly show the sig'
nificant fact that the, cost of living
as indicated by retail prices was no
greater in November of this year
than it was in Aueust. while during
former years, extending back to 1911,
the returns' for November show a
considerable increase over the Au
gust returns.
Expect Slump by March.
."'The' history 'of retail food prices
indicates that a decided downward
trend ordinarily may be expected in
the part of the vear between Jan
uary 1 and March 1 and if is to be
hoped that this trend will be accel
erated this vear bv the campaign
initiated by the government which is
just now getting well underway.
No Penalty Provided.
"The Lever food control act, un
der which the food administration
operated and through the enforce
ment of which the Department of
Justice is now trying to reduce high
prices,' unfortunately did not pro
vide a penalty for certain acts de
clared to be unlawful, and therefore,
the Department of Justice was un
able to effectively deal with many
cases of profiteering which came to
its attention. Realizing) the gravity
of this situation, the president ap
peared before the congress on Au
gust 8 and urged an immediate
amendment of the food control act
to extend its scope to all the neces
sities of life, and to provide a pen
alty for violation of the section four
of this act, which made profiteering
unlawful and to extend the life of
the act into peace time. The attor
ney general appeared before the sen
ate agricultural committee in August
and urged that amendments asked
by the president be passed. Not
until October 22, however,' cid these
amendments become a law, and only
since that time has it been possible
to deal effectively with all cases of
profiteering and hoarding.
Officials Active.
"While waiting the enactment of
additional legislation, however, the
Department of Justice did not re
main inactive. Section 6 of the act
provided a penalty for hoarding and
section 7 authorized the seizure and
sale of hoarded necessities. Since
the Lever act was amended to pro
vide a penalty for profiteering, 179
prosecutions have been instituted.
Under provisions of that act and in
all cases brought to trial thus far
convictions have been obtained.
There have been 99 cases of actual
seizures under section 7 of the act
and in many of these caSes prosecu
tions are also contemplated under
section 6.' In addition. 22 cases of
alleged hoarding have been called
to the attention of Unites Mates at
torneys for investigation, for seiz
ures' and for prosecutions, if the
facts warrant k
. S Commodities Seized.
"These siezures and prosecutions
have covered 18 states and the com
modities seized have included eggs,
butter, cheese, pork, poultry, lard,
fish, sugar, potatoes, coffee, flour
and canned goods. Fifty-three of
the above cases have been disposed
of by releasing the goods under
bond . of - agreement to dispose of
same within a specified time and at
a reasonable price under the direc
tion of the United States attorneys.
In no case has the market been flood
ed by the wholesale disposal of such
goods. In three cases involving
hoarding:, fines and iail sentences
have been imposed. In one case a
tine of $100 was imposed; in an
other a' fine of $250 and three
months in jail, and in a third case,
a fine of $5,000 and five months
in jail. This latter case has been
appealed. Results of investigations
are now being laid before a grand
jury in several districts and reports
of large numbers of indictments are
expected in the near future. Where
ever possible, a determined effort
will be . made to obtain jail sen
tences. - Very Solemn Duty.
"A very solemn duty to assist in
reducing the cost of living and par
ticularly to eliminate profiteering,
rests upon honest and responsible
business men of all classes. To
bring about co-operation in this di
rection the national organizations
reoresentinar the different trade in
terests have been approached. Very
helpful co-operation has been ob
tained which has had a marked tend
ency not only to stop the upward
trencr-of prices, but n some in
stances to decrease prices.
"The National Retail Clothing
Dealers association has recently
established their prewar margins of
profit as being fair and have so ad
vised their entire membership, rep
resenting approximately 90 per cent
cf the retail clothing dealers of
America. They have also appointed
a diligence committee, to hunt up
profiteers within their membership
and report to the United States at
torney in their respective districts
violations of margins of profits as
set im bv their organization. These
profits -.how from 5 to 50 per cent
reduction over prevailing profits of
past few months. t

rc' association has aooointed an
executive committee to confer for
the purpose of re-establishing a sim

extended to other like organizations
to co-ooerate toward reduced profits.
Rnnl this the Department of
Justice has instituted a thorough-
going and nationwiae campaign, ya.
ticipated in by thousands of men and
women, bringing about regulations
in the cost of living through edu
cation and through moral suasion.
In 44 states this campaign is pro
artivMv. The work in all
of them is directed from Washing
ton, is being done by fair price com
missioners or United States attor
neys. Very soon organizations of
the remaining states will be com
pleted. Three states have passed
laws creating commissions or other
machinery for the protectionot
their citizens against profiteers. The
women of the country, in whose
hands rests the power to largely
control the cost of living through
nnrrhase. have been organized to
carry certain educational facts to the
consuming and buying public as well
as to determine fair prices in local
.nmmitnitiV and to hunt out the
profiteers and report violations of
the Lever act.
Wdmen Do Good Work.
"Th? women's organizations of
the country isve already, done splen
aa wort in this direction and are
expected to co-operate still further.
It has been thought advisable "to.
work through organizations already
set un and functioning in tne on-
ferent states, rather than to set up
separate " organization soieiy lor
this purpose.
Primarily, the notably tactors in
volved in the ,cost of living are
the needed increase in production,
the elimination of extravaganct
buying and the determined hunting

come when the organization of the
country has been completed to the
point where real results can De

OMAHA WOMEN
MAY FORGE EGG
PRICES LOWER
Boycott is Suggested as a
Means of Getting Same
Results Obtained in
Lincoln.
Eggs are selling for 55 cents a
dozen in Lincoln.
The same kind of eggs are selling
in Omaha for from 85 to 90 cents a
dozen, and are-steadily climbing to
the $1 mark.
The reason for the difference in
price is women.
A week ago, the price of eggs in
Lincoln had reached $1 a dozen.
Two thousand members of the
Woman's club got together and de
cided that the high price must come
down.
It did.
They refused to buy eggs at that
price. In fact, they boycotted $1
Now the women claim the credit
And most of the business men in
Lincoln concede the credit for the
sudden drop in price to them.
A few of the leading members of
the, Omaha Woman's club were
called on concerning the relative dif
ference price in Omaha and tin
coin. !
Mrs.-John Haarman, a prominent
member of the Omaha Woman's
club, said: (
"Most decidedly we could bring
down prices here as they did in LJn
cobn. Whatever can be done any
where else, can be done a little bit
better in Omaha. There is no rea
son why- we couldn't stop buying
eggs, or anything, and force prices
down. The subject can be brought
before our club at the first meeting
after the holidays."
Mrs. Mary I. Creigh, leader of
the current topics department of the
Woman's club, said:
"From 90 cents a dozen to 55
cents for eggs is a considerable
have the same effect it had in Lin
coln." Mrs. O. Y. Kring, leader of the
public speaking department of the
Omaha Woman's club, said:
"The Omaha Woman's club has
done many things along the line
taken up by the Lincoln Woman's
club. 1 am sure we could ac
complish something here if the club
were to takefthe matter up. I would
not be surprised if the matter comes
up at our next meeting."
Must Work Together.
Mrs. J. T. Maxwell, of the hoaie
economics department of the Asso
ciation of Collegiate Alumnae, says
that a boycott on high-priced goods
has worked in other places and she
sees no reason why it would not be
effective here.
"We have not discussed high
prices very much, but the subject
will probably come up after the holi
days when we take up 'diet' ,in our
study. I believe the Association of
Collegiate Alumnae would be will
ing to join in any concerted action
that would reduce high prices. Act
ing as individuals, we can do little."
Lincoln Women Plan to Keep
Up Fight Against High Costs
Lincoln,. Neb., Dec. 22. Women
of Nebraska are being called upon
by the Lincoln Woman's club to
wae an active campaign against
the high cost of living.
This was announced here today
by Mrs. N. E. Hildreth, head of the
civics department of the club, who
declared that through a boycott on
eggs the women .of this city- had
forced prices from 85 to 55 cents a
dozen in approximately two weeksf
lime. The ban on eggs has now
been lifted.
Efforts to induce all women of th
state to enlist in the fight on high
prices, Mrs. Hildreth said, are be
ing made though correspondence
with all Nebraska women's clubs,
which have a membership pf about
12,000, and other articles would be
boycotted. -
"Our fight," she said, "will not
be confined to club women alone.
All women are invited to join the
movement. We have to do it.in
self defense to counteract the cam
paign from trade centers that prices
are going to be higher in the spring.
"We were disgusted with high
cost of living investigations," slit
added. "They all 'fell flat.' "
Speaking of the boycott here on
eggs, Mrs. Hildreth said the women
had learned that "the grocers all
paid the same price, while the sale
price in some places was 65 cents
and in others as high as 85 and 9Q
cents. ' -
"We knew it wasn't right," she
declared, "so we started in to boy
cott them."
