England Probes High Meat Prices
London July 21. The Royal Commission on Wood Prices found English butchers earning almost twice 1913 profits and able to cut prices by two cents per pound on half of meat sold. It urged a 12 member Food Council with a salaried chairman to monitor prices and monopolies. Recommendations covered retailer registration, stock statistics by cold storage operators, and close watching of the Argentine mast trade to prevent adverse trading and ensure chilled and frozen meat supply. Housewives, given a 2000 page report, criticized it as creating more committees rather than delivering immediate relief.
