Atlantic City. N. j., Nov. 16. -.
Interest in the session of the Mexican

in learning what would be the atti-
tude of Luis Cabrera, chairman of the
Mexican Commission. During his alb
sence at Philadelphia, Ignacio Bonil-

Mexican representatives virtually
agreed with the American Commits
sion on the essential points of a plan
of border control. They expressed
confidence in the support of Mr.. Ca
brera, Notwithstanding the opposition
offered by him on Tuesday, the last
time he appeared in the conference.
The optimism displayed by the two
Mexican commissioners was not shar-
ed by all those in touch with the con-
ferees early to-day. BY q few of them
1t was regarded as not improbable
that MIR. Cabrera might again stand in
the way although ali preparations
have been made for reducing to writ

another hitch would be avoided Mr.

TO RUSH SUITS
ON 8-HOUR LAW
Department of Justice Wants
Early Decision by Supreme
Court

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 16.-Early
decision by the Supreme Court of one
of the railroad suits attacking the
constitutionality of the eight hour law
probably will be sought by the Depart
ment of Justice. An appeal probably
will be made in the first case decided
in the hope that the Supreme Court
may be able to pass judgment as near
as possible by January l, when the law
would become effective If not Sus-
pended by injunction.
A decision in the highest court
would be binding on all lower Federal
courts and might dispose of all other
suits. The departments policy has
not been finally settled, but it was said
to-day that this course is being consid-
cred and probably would be followed.
IL an appeal is taken, the court would
be asked to advance the case, and in
view of its importance officials feel
that such a motion would be granted,
since such procedure is not unusual
Official notice of the filing of sixteen
suits had been received to-day by the
department, but no determination was
reached as to where IL would endeavor
to have the first hearing.
Preparations were being made to-
day for the meeting Monday of the
Joint congressional committee to in
vestigate railroad questions, including
government ownership. The commit
Tee has sent notices to every state gov
ernor and attorney general and all
state railroad commissions, to COM
m ercial and industrial organizations
and to the president of every railroad
in the country.

WILSON TO FIGHT
HIGH FOOD COST
No Embargo on Wheat Exports
Will Be Laid by the.
President

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson has determined person.
ally to take charge of a general in
vestigation into the high cost of living.
Convinced that the present high
prices of food and all other products
regarded as necessaries of life are due,
partly at least, to artificial causes, the
President has determined to gather
the reins of the various Inquiries al
ready under way and personally direct
the attempt to bring about solution.
1t was learned that the President in
the near future will confer with Cabi-
net members of the Federal Trade
Commission in order to evolve a pro-
gram for dealing with the problem of
high prices.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
there will be no embargo on wheat or
foodstuffs now being sent to Europe.
As a student of history, the President
is aware that whenever embargoes
| have been laid by the United States
| the effect has been disastrous to the
trade and industry of the United
States.
An embargo on wheat, the Presi-
| dent realizes. would lead to an endless
chain, affecting harmfully most agri-
culture and manufactured products.
Whatever remedies are adopted will
| he different in their nature from en-
hargoes. The Federal Trade Commits
sion, for instance. has found that there
are combinations in fertilizers and that
/ farmers have suffered from a scarcity
Of nitrates.
The Department of Justice has al
| ready inquired into the coal situation
TO learn whether the increase in prices,
based on wage increases. have been
out of proportion. There will be simi-
lar inquiries all along the line into the
| percentage of profit of the middlemen
Increasing the productive energies
of the nation, inquiring into alleged
combinations. a study of the market
! ing system, more direct relations be-
tween the consumers and producers
releasing some energies now restricted
| by legislation, are among the matters
to which the President will give his
personal attention in his conference
with the heads of the departments.
