Clare Retan was born Jun. 8, 1888 in Hudson, MI, in Lenawee
County,
and died July 1, 1931 Windsor Ontario, Canada
Clare Retan was born in Hudson, Lenawee County, Michigan, the son
of Frank Arthur Retan and Florence Agnes Friend Retan. He had two
sisters, Mrs. Bud Goodwin, of Adrian, Michigan and Mrs. Raymond
Page, of Rollins, Michigan. He was the husband of Fern Inez
Listeman Retan.
Mr. Retan was a graduate of The University of Michigan Law School.
After graduation, he became associated in the practice of law with
Grant Fellows, a former justice of the State Supreme Court, and
Judge Bert Chandler.
A ten year Assistant Attorney General of the State of Michigan,
Mr. Retan was appointed the State Attorneys' General in October
1926 by Michigan Governor Alex J. Groesbeck. He served for three
months until William W. Potter took office.
Mr. Retan died suddenly on July 1, 1931 in the summer home of J.C.
Reiman, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, following an attack of acute
indigestion and heat prostration.
He was survived by his wife, Fern and his two sisters.
Clare Retan's career in law once was even noted in the The New
York Times for his work on controlling food prices in
1919.
In an article named "Plan War On Profiteers: Ohio and Michigan
Will Co-operate in Investigations"
from August 3, 1919.
Columbus, Ohio--Ohio and Michigan have pledged
co-operation in the food price investigations, which have been
launched in both states. Attorney Price of Ohio, and Assistant
Attorneys General Pepper, and Clare Retan of Michigan, at a
conference here not only pledged this co-operation, but expressed
the hope that the entire group of States in the Central West would
join in the investigation.
The co-operation by Ohio's Attorney General and the Michigan
representatives, it was said, will consist chiefly in exchanging
information obtained by Grand Jury investigations and the like,
which may lead from one state to the other; also in the methods of
conducting the investigations and prosecutions, if such are deemed
necessary. "Michigan will gladly furnish Ohio with any information
which may be of use in conducting investigations in her neighboring
State" Colonel Pepper stated. Attroney General Price pledged equal
co-operation on the part of Ohio.
The "Big Five" of the packing industry of the country may be
investigated by Ohio food officials and required to report under
the Ohio cold-storage law. Thomas C. Gault, Chief Inspector of the
Dairy and Food Division of the Department of Agriculture, announced
today he was investigating the Ohio law to determine whether the
packers, doing an interstate business, could be required to make
reports under the Ohio Law. Heretofore only, Ohio cold-storage
houses doing business within the State have been required to make
reports to Gault's Department of the amount of foodstuff's in
storage.
This conference of Governors and attorneys General of the States to
consider practical ways and means of dealing with the high cost of
living and alleged profiteering in foodstuffs was suggested by
Governor Cox in a telegram sent this morning by Attorney General
Groesbeck of Michigan. "Private combines controlling necessaries of
life and creating fictitious prices", Mr. Groesbeck telegraphed,
"Must be met by public combines having for their object the
stabilizing of trade conditions and the prevention of injustice as
between the dealers and consumer. Investigations alone will not
accomplish this end. Constructive policies must be formulated and
put into operation by joint action of a number of States so as to
bring about effective national and State legislation."
