This brought the motion tto recommit

tor Reed of Missouri was recognized

leagues who had revolted, and repub-
licans who had opposed the bill as
supporters of the shipping trust which
had sought to plunder the shippers of
America.

throughout the administration had been
nearly always opposed to it's purpose,
defended the ship purchase bill.

clared, ION the fact that it appears
still to possess in this day and age

While Senator Reed was speaking
republican senators openly eXulted,
and democratic leaders rushed hurried
ly in and out of committee room con-
ferences to determine upon course OF
action. They counted noses, figuring on
absentees, and could not see a way out
Of the difficulty.
Senators Simmons, Stone, Kern,
Shively and others sought conference
with progressive republicans.
Senator Norris. who had offered
amendments several days before which
would strengthen the permanency OF
the proposed government enterprise,
was interviewed. He told senators who
offered to accept his amendments that
they came few hours too late. What
ever might happen, he insisted, he
could not support the bill unless 1T was
the same. The Iowa senator wants an
amendment that will eliminate cabinet
officers from the proposed shipping
board, and give that board absolute
control over rates for transportation
of cargoes by government vessels.
Senator Fletcher, when Senator Reed
/ had concluded his arraignment OF those
who had deserted the party, moved ad-
journment of the Senate.

BREAD PRICES TO co UP
IN CHICAGO AND GOTHAM
Increase in New York Will Amount
to $16.5oO.000 Each

CHICAGO, February e.-Members oil
the Master Bakers Association planned
to meet today to consider the ADVISABLE
ity of raising the price of buns. cakes,
doughnuts and other bakery products
sufficiently to cover the loss on bread If
that commodity is not increased IN
price.
The larger bakers who thus far have
been able to maintain the il\e-eeht ioai
because of quantities OF four 'hes pui
chased on contract at huch lower
prices than the prevailing market quo
tations, predicted that before the ehd
of the week the price of bread VIII go
to cents.
Rise Probable in New York.
NEW YORK. February 2.-There has
been considerable informal discussion
, here among local bakers for some days
past regarding the advisaollity OF
raising the price of bread as result OF
dearer wheat and flour. Leading OAK
ers, in statements given to the press
today. say that a rise in the price ot
: the ordinary five-cent loaf OF "hi'e
and rye bread to cents is ineVltapl
1t is figured here that if the rise IN
price goes into effect it VIII mean
that the people of New YORK Will De
gin paying what would amount &c
millions of dollars a year more Tor
their bread. There are approximately
5000, 900 persons in the greater city, ane
the per capita consumption of bread pei
year is figured at one barrel of hour
AS bakers are able to make 20 stand
ard loaves out of each barrel OF nour
an increase of l cent loaf means ar
additional cost of s1s.500.00o.
