MEAT DEALERS
WELCOME PROBE
; OF PRICES HERE
Attorney General's Threat
Fails to Rouse Retailers
Here Say Prices. Will Not
- Decline Anyway.
Attornfey General Palmer's threat,
announced in-Chicago Sunday, to
investigate books cf retail meat deal
ers throughout the country for evi
dence of alleged profiteering, failed
to tfrouse fear among Omaha meat
retailers yesterday.
With or without an investigation,
they declared, there is tio prospect
for decline in present retail meat
prices. Dealers .denied emphatical
ly therfe had been, within the last
three , months, sufficient falling off
in wholesale prices to warrant, re
duction of Drices to consumers.
Such breaks in the wholesale market
as have occurred have been fol
lowed up carefully in cuttiticr of re
tail quotations, but on thebasis of
present they asserted, iut prices
generally, it was admitted, remained
at approximately the same levels as
tnree months ago.
. Welcome Investigation.
Dealers in Omaha said thev would
welcome an investigation in vindi
cation of their contention they are
charging onlv a reasonable margin
or pront. x
"Our" books will show that in sale
of some meats we make a profit of
on'y hait a cent a cut" Said Charles
Ingram, assistant manager of Bueh-
ler Bros, downtown 'meat store.
Thomas Cooney. manager of the
meat department for Hayden Bros.,
id. within the last three weeks
ere had been a general reduction
of 10 per, cent- in retail beef prices,
andthat pork was slightly cheaper
tnan three months ago, Dut declared
th wholesale market warranted no
extensive reductions.
" Follpw Wholesale Market
"But .consumers in Omaha always
gel the advantage of any cut m
wholesale meat prices," he asserted.
"I thinR " nearly all dealers in
Omaha follow the wholesale meat
market and base their prices on ad
vances and drops - in wholesale
prices'," said J. H. Kulhaossky,
manager of the Central Market Meat
department. "An investigation of
our books by federal agents certain
ly would be 'most welcome as, a
means of furnishing the "public con
crete evidence of non-existence ot
nrnfitfrrincr "
' Thomas S. Allen, United States
District attorney for Nebraska, au
nounced'trom Lincoln yesterday At
torney General Palmer's instructions
for theVproposea statewide meat
probe had not yet reached hinV
'Will Follow Instructions.
"THereJias been sonsiderable in
vestigation of retail prices by feder
al agents, in Nebraska, but I have
not been informed of any retail
meat profiteering," he said. "There
will be a thorough probe under Mr.
Palmer's instructions."
Omaha - retail dealers in all lines
have shown a willingness to turn
over their books to, federal investi
gators, according .to Frank A.
Peterson, assistant district attorney.
He . said he expected the proposed
meat investigation to.be conducted
here without .hostility on the part of
meat dealers. , - i
