FOOD PRICES NO HIGHER.
Grocers Declare Peoples Tastes, MOI
Prices, Have Risen.

John A. Green. Of Cleveland. secretary
of the National Retail Grocers' Associa-
ton, yesterday told the Senate committee
that is inquiring into the high cost of liv-
ing that groceries do not cost materially
more to-day than they did ten or even
twenty-seven years ago.
"A better quality Of groceries is now
sold" said Mr.. Green. "and the people
seem to want the best there is. That $
one explanation OF the increased cost OF
living-people are consuming a better
quality. and hence more expensive grade
Of goods. They demand 15-cent prunes
now. for example. where they used to be
satisfied with the scent grade"
Mr.. Green said that the price OF butter
and eggs. smoked meats. fish. and pork
products had advanced, but he confined
his testimony to the subject of groceries.
Incidentally he brought up the subject OF
oleomargerine, and said that retail grocers
heartily favor the proposition advanced
by Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh
that the cleo tax should be changed so
that cents per pound would be charged
on all oleo, colored or uncolored. with the
stipulation that the packages in which 1T
Is put up be plainly labeled. In response
to a question, he said he thought il would
reduce the cost of living if cleo were
made cheaper. but Senator McCunnher
took issue with him, and declared that
the people didn't want cleo at any price
If they had to know that it was oleo.
The grocers' national organization Is
purely a fraternal and educational asso-
citation, Mr. Green said. and never consid-
cred the question of prices. competition.
or credits. Such a thing as a black list
was unknown, he said
Leading members Of the committee are
complaining that the investigation is
making no material progress. and the
opinion was expressed to-day that the in
quiry would disclose nothing that would
aid in deTising a remedy for the high cost
of living OF that would explain why prices
have advanced

CLAPP FLAYS RAILROAD BILL
Says Proposed Measure Prohibits
Combination Only 0stensibly.
Senators from Minnesota Contends
that Administrations Policy
Favors Mergers OF Roads.

Senator Clapp, OF Minnesota, took up
the insurgent fight on the administration
railroad bill yesterday.
There are some good features in this
bill" said Senator Clapp. but wherever
those who prepared it have sought to In
/ crease the powers OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission they have emascu-
lated those powers. For example, the
bill reiterates the prohibition against
combination. but at the same time pro-
vides an avenue for escaping that pro-
hbition"
The Senator objected to the proposed
creation OF a new court OF commerce.
and to the failure OF the bill to provide
for the giving OF notice before injunc-
tons may be issued against the decisions
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He attacked the merger provision of
the bill He wanted TO know from Sen
ator Elkins how many prospective com
binations are sleeping in that peaceful
valley OF 80 per cent ownership. looking
forward to coronation tomorrow.
II don't believe there are any" was
the retort OF the Senator from West
Virginia
THE Attorney General has shown in
two instances" observed Senator Ciapp,
that he believes competing railway lines
should be allowed to combine. Now.
where does the public come in? It would
seem that this is TO be sort of a moot
court II we believe in competing lines
we ought TO say so in plain English. so
that there will be no misunderstanding
OF our language"
When Senator CIspp concluded, Senator
Elkins looked over the Senate and OBJ
served: I do not see any Senator who is
going TO speak"
Yes. you do" interrupted Senator
Bailey. of Texas There are a number
Of Senators before you who are going
to be heard on this bill, but they are not
ready You might as we'll lay this bill
aside"
Senator EIkins agreed to this sugges-
ton, and the bin was laid aside for the
day.
Tho administration railroad bill has
been finally agreed upon by the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. and will be reported TO the
House the latter part OF the week. II
embodies many changes from both the
existing law and from the bill as origi-
naIly introduced by Representative
Townsend. OF Michigan Many of the
amendments are taken from the Mann
bill.
The President and the Attorney Gen
eral, at whose instance the bill was intro
duceG after Chairman Mann, OF the COM
mittee, had drafted a bin Incorporating
HIS ideas Independently of the admins
tration. are anxious that the bill, along
with the rest of the legislative programme
