FEDERAL LICENSE
FOR FOUNDATIONS
Untermyer Says Organizations
Should Have Licenses.
DO MUCH GOOD AND NO HARM
Lawyer Asserts That Labor Unions
Can Never Relieve Labor Con-
ditions-Asks Government
Regulation.

New York. Jan. 20.-Federal incor-
poration for the Rockefeller founda-
ton and for other foundations en-
dowed to help humanity was advocated
here on Monday by Samuel Untermyer,
famous corporation lawyer, before the
federal commission On industrial re-
lations. This commission, the chair
man of which is Frank P. Walsh OF
Missouri, has begun an investigation
of he Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russell
Sage and Baron de Hirsch foundations
to determine whether or not they
should be regulated by the United
State government, and Mr.. Untermy-
er was the first witness.
The power and importance of these
foundations can be gathered from the
fact that they control about $3OO,OOO,-
600. Other recommendations by Mr..
Untermyer were:
1. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
eminent should be limited.
2. That the size of the foundations
should be limited.
8. That the foundations should not
be allowed to accumulate their tn
come.
Mr.. Untermyer said that the
foundations were doing much good
and no harm, but that they gave q
fair example of the evils of the vice
of state legislation" He declared that
the foundations we're not satisfactory
wholly because they were operating
under state charters. The govern
ment, he believed, should have sound
control over them and should have
hand in the selection of trustees to
administer than.
The labor unions, Untermyer said,
can never relieve labor conditions.
"What we need" he asserted, "is
governmental regulation"
The witness then went into a dis
cussion of life insurance companies.
Untermyer urged, as remedies for
present industrial conditions, insur-
ance against sickness and invalidity,
insurance against unemployment, old
age pension, life and accident 1nsur-
ance and maternity benefits.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Inter
myer said that he believed practically
all the railroads in the United States
were controlled by one or the other
Of the groups of banking houses.
Roger w. Babson, statistician, was
called at the afternoon session. He
said he believed the principal menace
to capital and labor was absentee
ownership.
"It has been my experience that
there seldom Is labor trouble in a
plant when the owner resides in the
same town." he said. He thought that
the annual meetings of big companies
should be held at the mills and there
should be labor representatives on the
boards.

WILSON ORDERS WHEAT QUIZ.
Soaring Prices Cause President to
Start Investigation.


Start Investigation.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Soaring wheat
prices and the threatened rise in the
cost of bread caused President Wilson
to order two federal inquiries intended
to determine whether conditions are
due to natural economic causes,
brought about by the war, or have
been induced by the action Of. specula-
tors seeking great profits. The pfesi-
dents first move was to direct Attor-
ney General Gregory to start nation
wide investigation for the purpose of
ascertaining whether there has been
violation of the antitrust laws. The
orders followed the demand made by
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Grocers
for such an inquiry. Legislation gi~-
ing the president power to stop the
expectation of foodstuffs whenever
necessary and other bills designed to
lower prices were discussed informal
ly here.
Meantime officers Of the National
Housewives league were planning

by Generals Blanco, Robes and jose
Vasconcelos as body guard" These
officers, tolled off by General Cara
ostensibly as protectors OF the deposed
provisional executive, as matter OF
fact will act as his captors, in the
sense that they are charged with see
ing that Gutierrez commits no act
detrimental to the Villa interests.

Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, delivered to the state de-
partment a protest of the most en-
phatic character against General Car

The British representations to the
state department make it clear that
the British government will not coun-
tenance the destruction of oil interests
owned by British subjects at Tampico

BANANA GROWERS
FACE HEAVY Loss
Fruit Will Rot Before They Can
Get It To Coast Market
For Lack Of Ships

More evidence Of the congestion Of
steamship traffic was presented to the
chamber Of commerce yesterday.
= A committee Of Chinese banana grow.
ers called upon Secretary Raymond c..
Brown and told him they faced a big
loss through deterioration Of their fruit
because they are unable to ship this
week a large consignment. The Mapoa
is the only banana carrier sailing and
its capacity already has been reached.
One grower said he had 500 punches
which should, but cannot be shipped
this week They will spoil before the
next banana carrier sails. Another
grower said he was unable to get space
for 1900 punches.
Secretary Brown told the Chinese he
could give them no assistance, but
would take up the question with Carl
4. Stone, general traffic manager of the
Great Northern Pacific Steamship Com
pany, upon the latter's arrival today
from Hilo, where he went to see XII
lauea.
Mr.. Stone is in Honolulu to see
whether 1000 to 1900 tons of freight
can be guaranteed to bring the steam
ship Great Northern to Honolulu.
The growers told Mr.. Brown they
could ship $4,000 punches Of bananas
o week, but did not say how many
they could give to the Great Northern
They did say, however, that the Great
Northern speed would make her a
valuable carrier to them, and it ~
thought the Great Northern may get
a big share of the banana freight un.
less contracts between the growers and
other steamship companies forbid.
Mr.. Stone said here last week that
arrangements could be made for carry
ing fresh fruit on the Great Northern
the steamer having a big refrigeration
space. II is thought alterations may
be made in the ship if she comes here
whereby the refrigeration space will bt
increased to care, for large fruit con
signments.
IL this is done the problem of thu
banana growers may be solved, as the
Great Northern would call every tive
weeks, thus relieving the congestion OIL
the other ships.
