Dominion moves to curb high prices with council order
Government plans a broad order in council placing remedial control in federal hands and municipalities to fight rising costs of living. Any agreement to raise prices becomes a criminal offence with fines up to 500 dollars or two years in prison. The measure tightens the Combines Act by removing unduly from food pricing. It targets price increases due to combinations over general market forces and adds food supply conditions for departments and municipalities.
