 feated, AT to "A

Washington, April f2.-Favorable action struct huge hydro o-electric air nitrogen plant for the manufacture of powder in war times and fertilizer in peace times was forecast today when a motion by Senator Hardwick to strike out the fer tilizer feature of the pending amendment to the army bill was defeated, 47 to 2.
 The amendment, introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina, was under dis cussion all day. It provides for plant with an ultimate cost of s15,0o0,00o. the surplus nitric acid over what may be needed for powder to go into fertilizer to be sold directly to the farmers.
 Senator Hardwick declared the plan so- cialistic and repugnant to the spirit of democracy. Senator Sutherland ques- toned the constitutionality of the fer tiizer proposal. although he said there could be no question as to the govern ment's power to manufacture chemicals for it's own military needs.

 Senator Hardwick's motion was defeat ed by the votes of 3S democrats and nine republicans, the latter being Senators
 Clapp, Cummins. Gronna, Kenyon. LaFol- lette, McCumber, Norris, Poindexter and sherman. The democrats who voted for it were Senators Hardwick, Overman. Pomerene. Smith of Georgia and Stone.

 chase or lease rights to the most suit able process for production of air nitro gen and also to lease the proposed plant,

that if a small loaf must be sold, the
price be six cents.
Several big Chicago bakers declared
tuey would eliminate the FIVE cent
loaf at once and offer the ten cent
loaf in its stead. Another resolution
passed by the bakers, called on fed
eral authorities to prohibit at once
all expectation OF this years wheat
crop in order to force lowering Of
prices for home consumption.
Before acting on the resolution
recommending the abolition of FIVE
cent bread, legal advice was asked.
Lawyers told the bakers that in order
TO avoid the antitrust laws they
would only be able to recommend to
each other and to the members of
the association any size, shape or
quality of loaf.
President S. F. Mcdonald declared
that the public would save s25. O0O. 900
