District Attorney D A McAskill cites a chain of profit by many agencies and individuals in the meat trade as the main cause of higher prices. He notes higher costs from owner margins to middlemen, landlords, and butchers, plus government emergency pricing, with profits reduced in less desirable portions. The investigation by his office and the Grand Jury targets market factors and profiteering.
