 The contracts in question were let by the Canadian shell committee to the American Ammunition Company and the International Arms & Fuse Company and the investigation of them followed charges laid in the house of commons by G. w.

COST IF LIVING
/ Die QUESTION
ELEVEN BILLS TO
CHECK HIGH PRICES
Are Introduced, Some Pro-
viding Food Embargo and
Controlling Storage.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. T.
The high cost Of living and what steps
the Federal government can take TO
control it, assumed proportions as a
national question with the cOnyening
OF Congress to-day. which overshad-
owed all other ISSUES in the first day s
proceedings.
The possibility that President Viii
son will deal with the subject in Il spe-
cia! address grew stronger. although it
was thought probable that the Presi-
dent would select Il separate occasion
for it. rather than 70 add it. as d sup
plcment to his general address to-mor-
row.
Eleven bills and resolutions, seek.
ing to check the soaring prices of food
by stopping shipments 10 Europe. re-
duciug parcel post rates Oh foodstuffs
or controlling cold storage, were today
introduced in the House.
President Samuel GOmpers and a
committee of the American Federation
Of Labor called on President Wilson
anu ShtNi ulll4 " QlIplHl n SlcClUl
commission to investigate the food
question. The President assured them
that the government would take steps
TO meet the situation. but it was not
clear that they had been decided upon
fully. The President is understood 10
prefer not to appoint commission. as
it practically would be without author,
ity 10 compel testimony. while it is re-.
allied that u Congressional inycSugd-
tion probably would mean protraCted
delay.
Show Wide Difference.
Reports being gathered by the De.
partments of Agriculture and Com,
mercc are being laid before the PreSi'
dent as fast as they are compiled, and
upon them he is expected 10 decide on
any action, which undoubtedly will be
prefaccd. By special address TO Con
gress.
One report submitted to-day by Sec
retary Redfeld and held confidential
as vet. is understood to show Il wide
margin between prices paid to pro-
ducers and those paid By consumers.
The bills in Congress are expected
TO produce a general discussion Of the
subject, but none OF The adminlStra'
iion leaders thinks any of the embargo
measures can pass. A series of four,
introduced by Chairman Fitzgerald. OF
the apprOpriations committee. propose
embargo. reduction OF parcel post
rates and restriction Of cold storage.

LONDON, Dec. 3. 2:30 a. m.-The

tie all differences in cooperation with
Mr.. Ronar Law and Mr.. Lloyd George
and form new government with te"
changes except in the war council"

added. the lobby now believes that Sir
Edward Carson will not join the Cabl-
ner and that the war council VIII con-
sist Of Mr.. ASQuith. Mr.. Bonar Law,
and MIR. Lloyd George.
Some of the other correspondents
assert the belief that the situation is
less hopeful. 1t is generally Conceu-
ed that the designations of all the mlu-
listers are in Premier ASquith'S hands,
and two or three Of the political writ

Asquith himself will resign today
