FOOD PLOT IN U.S..
FOUND BY HOUSE
Inquiry Into Storage and
Marketing Urged by
Committee

Washington. Dec. Film reporting
favorably Representative Borland's
resolution to have the House direct the
Federal Trade Commission make an in
quiry into the high cost Of living the
Judiciary Committee to-day expressed
the opinion that only a thorough in
vestigction into production, marketing
and storage would solve the problem.
A letter from Chairman Hurley Of
the Trade Commission accompanied
the report. saying that the inquiry
would require fifteen TO eighteen
months and cost about $4,000.
Hearings on the shortage and
present high price Of foodstufs, the
report said. had disclosed a condition
strongly pointing to a control of
products referred to by those engaged
IN marketing the same in this country
as in foreign countries.
Conditions Not Satisfactory
"They disclosed also" the report con-
tinued, that marketing conditions
were not at all satisfactory TO large
numer OF farmers and stock raisers.
~ hppthiss HONtNtT, l0dL lHb pTOQuC-
ton of food products is not keeping
pace with consumption throughout the
country as represented by the growing
industrial population Of the cities"
Food shortage, it said. with a result
ing distress to wage earners and con-
sumers, was not only possibility but
real menace.
"Your committee believes that there
is an economical problem involved" it
continued, which can only be solved
in the interest OF the American people
by thorough investigation of the sub
ject. The cost Of living has been
steadily increasing until q condition is
presented which demands the immedi-
ate and intelligent consideration OF the
Federal authorities and which may re-
quire legislation in order to correct
the present system"
House Takes No Action
The House took no action on the
resolution.
The Socialist plan for meeting the
food problem was outlined to the House
to-day. when Representative London,
of New York, introduced a bill to
create Federal food commission,
comprising the Secretaries Of Agri-
culture. Commerce and Labor, to
recommend action by the President and
Congress.
The bill would direct the commission
to ascertain all the facts regarding
food supply and authorize the Presi-
dent to put an embargo on exports If
necessary. Government regulation of
transportation, preservation, marketing
and distribution OF food is contem-
plated as last resort

. JAIME WIFI AMEN
The experiment of Mrs. L. Bracket
Bishop to live for a week on 81 to
prove that a working Girl can do it
nicely" and thus eliminate any
temptation to take the road of the
lower trail, would be ridiculous if it
were not that Mrs. Bishop is we'll
intentioned woman who UndoUbted-
Iy believes she is doing something
worth while.
Even then the element of farce en-
tiers into it, especially to the girl who
is hanging on to the road of respect
ability while she exists on that
amount of money, and to the girl
who has stepped off the narrow road
it is irony.
For one short week Mrs. Bishop is
living in a small room and eating
cheap food. For one week a woman
generously endowed by nature and
fortune is making an experiment that
she believes should be convincing,
the while she does not assume any
one of the other strains to which the
girl to whom the living is not an eX-
pertinent but a tragedy is subjected,
and she lives this one week with
constitution that, with all respect to
Mrs. Bishop, she could fast on for
several weeks and not very greatly
feel it.
The girl who is earning 81 a week
did not start at that wage. In very
many cases she started at what the
department store men are pleased to
call the kindergarten level, where
they paid her $3.50 and not more
than 81 week.
Had her family been able to pro-
vide for her even with that strength
building nourishment the girl in her
adolescence needs, she would not
have been working at $3.50 a week
for merchant princes, but they were
not so able, and the girls years of
adolescence are also years of under

The note proposes that the differ
