Federal Trade Commission Will Seek
Violations of Sherman Act
By ANDREW R. KELLEr.

The Senate yesterday unanimously
passed a resolution authorizing the Fed
eral Trade Commission to make an in
vestigation into the cost Of all kinds Of
print papes and determine whether the
prohibitive current prices for the COM
modify does not involve violation Of the
Sherman antitrust act.
Senator Fletcher. reporting the resolu-
ton, said that the Public Printer had re-
Gently sought bids on $4,000 pounds Of
paper and. though thirty-ive to forty
concerns were invited to submit esti-
mates, only one company submitted
prices, and that figure was over three
times what the government paid for the
same paper one year ago Three cents
per pound was the 1915 price, and the
same grade of paper now costs 10 cents
1t represents a difference in price to the
government Of $l1O3O.
The Florida Senator declared that some
OF the big paper companies are refusing
to live up to their contracts with the
government, and there IS a great shortage
OF supply.
Speaking in favor OF the resolution.
Senator Smoot stated that the shOrta ge
Of paper at the Government Printing Of
fee was serious, and urged members not
to insert material in the Record which
did not directly bear on legislation.
1T is costing from 5000 to 5000 per
day to print the proceedings Of the Sen
ate and IT is high time that the practice
of inserting material in the Record on
every conceivable subject be checked" q"

DANGER OF SCOURGE
IN SCHOOLS slight
Health Officer Woodward Says Dis
ease Dies in Winter.

There will be no need OF a further
pOstpOnement OF the opening date of the
public schools in the opinion of Health
officer w. c. Woodward. who has made
a close study Of the disease and has in
vestigated its relation to the public
schools.
"PoIiomyetitis (lnfantlle paralysis) has
prevailed in the District to a relatively
slight extent" DR.. Woodward states in
letter to superintendent Thurston.
Our knowledge and experience with re-
spect to the disease justify the belief
that the decline which has already be-
gun throughout the country will con-
tinue.
Infantle paralysis is a summer dis
ease, DR.. Woodward states, that drops
off in the fall. washington has no ep-
idenic in the same sense as other cit
les" continues Dr. Woodward, "Phila-
delphia, with real epidemic, is to open
her schools on September IS, which was
the date originally set for the District
schools"
The Doctor says he has searched many
records and has been unable to find
where a spread OF the disease can be
attributed to the fact that the children
were brought together in the schools In
nearly all cases, he says, the disease
has died out when winter arrived,
DR.. Woodward made it plain that he
did not wish to criticise the action Of
the school board in postponing the open
ing Of the schools here until October 2
but he announced that no fear need be
felt on the part OF parents that their
children wwould be in any extra danger
from the disease in attending the schools
when they do open.

AS the law stands, the Canadian gov

Secretary Lansing sent word to the con-
ferees that if the Phelan amendment were
retained it might lead to serious interna-
tiOnal complications. Just what these
might be was not explained. The State
Department was insistent, its communi-
cation being so worded as to convey the
impression that threat had been made
against this government of such a seri-
Gus nature that details could not be
given.
officials of the government who have
been anxious TO see the weapon Of full
retaliation made available for use against
those who would discriminate with Ameri-

al defense measures, providing sss2 f7s,-

are the most vital Of all passed.
The regular army is virtually doubled

ten first class battleships, six battle cruis-

Paramount among the first Of these is the
Adamson eight-hour law, through which
the most cslamitous railroad strike in
history was prevented.
