WILSON TAKES HAND
IN PROBE OF PRICES
PRESIDENT WILL REQUEST AC-
TON BY CONGRESS- If CON.
DITIONS WARRANT,

President Wilson has instructed all
departments which are investigating
soaring food prices to submit detailed
reports to him.
If these reports warrant it, he may
urge congressional action on the
question at the present session, in a
special message to congress at later
date.
The president is said to feel that
the food situation is one which de-
mands the most thoughtful consider
alton by the government He is
already giving his personal attention
to the question.
Seven Departments at Work.
To help hammer down the high
cost of living by Furnishing possible
food conspirators, the department of
justice joined six other government
branches in their fight against high
food prices.
With the president taking a per-
sOnal interest in the situation, and
congress, the agricultural. commerce
and postoffice departments and the
interstate commerce commission all
leagued in the move, the justice de-
partment assistance gave hope of pos
sible solution of the high living cost
question.
Specifically, the department of JUS
tice is, at the start, merely skirmish
ing around IN the Smoke" to see if
there isn't some "fire" in the talk of
illegal food price conspiracies. George
w. Anderson, a department agent,
has been designated special assistant
to the attorney general, with the ex-
press power to probe and prosecute
any violations of the conspiracy laws
in any section of the country.
No Direct Evidence Yet.
The department claims to have no
direct evidence yet that the present
abnormal prices are due to other than
natural, economic causes, but it in
tends to get at the bottom of reports
that the country is being held up by
unlawful price boosters and specu-
lators. In short, the department
hopes to give valiant aid to the cause
of hunting out the underpinning be-
meath CONSTANTS increasing cost of
existence.
While the department burrows into
the channels of trade the depart
ments of agriculture and commerce,
with other agencies, will continue
efforts to lower prices.
Congress promises to make q
mighty noise-and perhaps aim to
do a little effective work-toward
altering conditions. However, the
most mooted congressional panacea
"a food embargo against foreign ma
tions-will meet with one of the stiff
est fights congress has seen in many
months.
The one idea which appears to be
most agreed upon is congressional
investigation or an authorization for
the federal trade commission to delve
into the food cost problem.
