LEGISLATORS ON "EGGS."
wicks Committee Discusses state
Ownership Of Inasstpy.


Ownership Of Industry.
Turning its attention for a short time
from milk to eggs. the Wicks legislative
investigating committee at its hearing
yesterday obtained the opinion Of Hugh
w. Taylor, a food inspector In the city's
Health Department. as to the feasibility
Of State owncrship Of tho egg industry.
He thought the idea a good one.
Judge George w. Ward. counsel to
the committee. asked the witness II he
believed 100000 would be enough
money for the State to begin business
on. and Mr.. Taylor replied that sum
would merely be a drop in the bucket.
as the egg industry in the city amounted
to about $50. 100000 a year.
Mr.. Taylor believed that II the State
took over the egg business II could man
age It better than private business men.
The inspector explained that weak"
eggs-csgs with watery yolk-are
broken and thrown into cans which are
kept in cold storage in excellent condi.
tion sometimes for nine months or q
year. Canned eggs" he said. comprise
one Of the. most wholesome foods They
are used extensively by cake bakeries.
MIX Man surrenders Beck.
John r. Macauiay. treasurer OF the
Sanitary MIX Dealers Association,
turned over to the committee the cash
book OF the association. which he refused
to surrender to Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Merton f. Lewis at the Attorney
Generals milk investigation. He said
he would be willing to explain any Item
In II.
Mr.. Macaulay testified that members
Of the organization never talked about
prices at their meetings. but confined
their discussions to laws and regula-
tions in the milk industry.
The committee will continue Its In
quiry next Monday morning at 10
o'clock. II is expected that Herbert
Hawkins. an expert accountant. who has
been examining the books Of the big
milk distributing concerns. will testify
next week.

FARMERS DEFENDED
BY NATIONALGRANGE
Organization Attributes High
Cost Of Living to Poor
Crops and War.
OPPOSES FOOD EMBARGO
Gambling in Commodities Con-

ing Scarce.

WARRINGTON, Nov. AIN defence OF
the farmer the National Grange. in am
nual session here. issued n statement to-
night analysing the high cost Of living
and attributlng the rising prices Of farm
products to poor crops and the increas-
Ing cost Of what the farmer has to buy.
IL any cmbargoes are to he placed to
help the situation. the statement says,
they should be on manufactured prod
ucts. particularly munitions OF war. Pro-
hibition Of gambling in foodstuffs and
PROVISION Of more storage hoxscs under
control Of the farmers themselves also
are suggested.
The statement says in part:
THE American farmer. with cheap
lands and high priced labor. produces
many times as much per man as does the
farmer Of any country In the world.
The high price Of farm products is due
to several causes. Some Of the more impor-
tant ones are: The climatic conditions OF
this country during the past year were
perhaps one OF the leading causes of
crop shortage. reducing acreage and
yield to a more marked degree than has
bean the case for any previous year.
For example. the wheat in the North
west was crop failure. The corn crop
was In many sections partial failure. as
well as the potato and vegetable crops.
Farm Labor IL scarrer.
1T must be borne In mind that the
Ia oh xstz ~. A. a..
whatever he buys. as much as II has the
city consumer. Farm labor Is scarcer
and higher than ever before in this
country. Everything the farmer buys.
whether machinery. fertilizer. fencing.
clothing or the necessaries Of life, have
Increased In price by leaps and bounds
This is also true Of taxation. the in
crease being In many sections SO per
cent. or more during the last FIVE years.
The farmer Of to-day is the larges, con-
sumer OF manufactured products. even
IN too many cases buying his meats and
flour.
Our city cousins have changed their
method Of living quite as much as we
have. Instead Of buying I'm quantities.
as formerly. they live in cramped quar-
ters win kitchenctte s by > and buy
in very small quantities. or live out OF
cartons and cans. and in many cases
with little regard to home economics.
With this can he coupled expensive
methods Of distribution, which Is not the
fault OF the farmer.
The fact that nearly one-haif Of the
civilized world has left the field OF pro-
duction and entered upon the work OF
destruction has increased the demand for
all kinds Of products and goods We
believe that prices will be high for sew
eral years. especially for manufactured
goods.
Economy IL Favored.
I'VE further believe that while the
crops have been short, yet there IL

LEGISLATORS SPLIT
ON FOOD EMBARGO
Senators and Representatives
Disposed to Favor Farm
ers' Plea.
BITTER FIGHT IN SIGHT
Federation Of Labor Is Set
Against Stopping NUM-
ton Shipments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2t.-Returning
Legislators to-day gave more attention to
the impending struggle over the pro-
posed embargo upon foodstuffs now re-
garded A. an inevitable subject Of legis-
lation for the forthcoming session OF
Congress. Here the lines are not yet
closely drawn. There IL q disposition
to stand by the farmer as a matter Of
political expediency but set against this
10 the demand for . remedy for the high
cost Of living which perturbs many
members Of Congress who might other
wise stand with the aGriculturists.
The most disturbing aspect OF the
situation. from the point Of view Of
many Legislators, Is the impetus that
will be given by the controversy to the
general friction between the labor and
agricultural elements Of the population.
President Wilson himself. as II fore
seeing such an effect Of the agitation
Of the embargo question. deplored the
growth Of class consciousness. Since
that time the Federation Of Labor has
arrayed itself on one side Of the em-
barge question and the National Orange
on the other. the two largest classes Of
citizens. according to avocation. In the
country. and the preliminary skirmish-
ing indicates that the fight will be most
bitter.
Fear Foreign Embarrassnent.
Among members OF the Senate and
House the opinion persisted to-day that
an embargo. although II may be re-
garded by the Administration a. a do
nestle question. may be Questionable
because Of the disturbing effect It would
have upon the foreign relations Of the
United States. There Is some appre-
henston leet the European nations
which now draw heavily upon the sup
plies Of American foodstufYs might take
occasion TO. disregard the interests Of
the United States In business combina-
tions TO be arranged when the war Is
over
Legislators from the Western districts
are generally opposed to an embargo.
The Administration. it was said at the
White House to-day. will not actively
support an embargo measure.
1t was pointed out to-day that the
President owes the Western States a
debt Of gratitude for his reelection. and
that as these States would be most d.
rectly affected by embargo legislation II
is not likely that he would stand back of
such a measure.
Political Expediency Arises.
There IL also question to what extent
political considerations would enter into
the policy Of the Republicans who mig ht
for party reasons decide to stand by the
farmers.
The attitude OF many members of
Congress Is reflected In that Of Senator
Gallinger. New Hampshire. who said to-
day:
Il question whether Congress would
impose an embargo. You know we tried
that policy once and It was not a sue
cess. II is possible 1t would do some
good in this instance. II Is quite clear
there Is going to be great deal OF
agitation In Congress this winter be-
cause OF the serious complaint over the
high cost OF living
Everybody IL complaining. I hear
complaints everywhere ! go. There can
be no doubt II Is a most serious situa-
ton"

BURNS BROS. HEAD
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Big Coal Merchant Shows His
Firm Paid as High as
$11.6O a Ton.

Michael r. Burns. head Of Burns
Bros. coal dealers. testified before the
Grand Jury yesterday. He did not pro-
duce his hooks nor did he sign an i'm
munity waiver. as was announced he
would In view Of the present investiga-
ton. He merely brought memoranda

for coal.
Mr.. Burns told the Jurors ne has been
forced to pay an high as S11.60 a ton
Tor coal. much OF which he sold later
at a far lower fgurc. These sales, how
ever. balanced with the income from
coal bought earlier in the season at a
lower rate prevented loss. Some Of the
highest prices he claimed to have paid
were as follows:

the railroads which formerly owned the

them.
''Thc Clayton act II the whole cause
OF the trouble" Mr.. Gordon declared.
Formerly there were four or FIVE men
who controlled the New York market.
Now there are 100 or more. When coal
Is scarce as now the dealer must shop
among all these dealers and bid high.
These dealers buy at the mines. The
competition Is high one offers 50. an
other makes II $3.50 and a third says I:

and the price goes up. In my thirty

Geo. H. Hervey and Asso-
GATES Have Plans Drawn
For a Winter Resort.

Realizing the necessity Of accom-
modating the winter visitors to PEN
sacola, who have increased so greatly
in numbers the past year that more
accommodations have become a neces-
sity, George H. Hervey, have had
plans drawn for a magnificent gulf
hotel, which will be erected some
distance from Pensacola. The above
is a picture Of the proposed building,
which is to be known as the Gulf
hotel and cater especially to the win
ter visitor.
The new hotel is to be four stories
in height, the top floor to a sort of
bachelor quarters, while fourteen cot
tages will be operated in connection
with it, each containing three living
rooms. These viii be for guests who
prefer cottage to rooms in the
hotel This will give total of 1877
rooms. Nearby will be a dancing pa
vilion and bath house.
Regarding the new hotel Mr.. Her
svey last night issued the following
statement:
Pensacola will, by the additional Of
few Thousand in population, make
the San Carlos city hotel in every
particular and in order to accommo-
date our winter visitors il will be nee
essary to erect hotel on the water
front, which would not only serve as
a winter resort but unquestionably
draw from all southern states north
Of Florida. Owing to the extension of
aviation in Pensacola and the frequent
visit of ships to this port hotel of
this character is even at this TIME a
necessity.
people, however, should not. lose
sight of the fact that water sports
should not be considered paramount to
an adequate golf course. The Coun-
try club course is far above the aver
age, but in order to compete with
Asheville, French Lick and similar re-
sorts, an 1s-hole course is necessary"
