EXTEND CONTROL
TO STEEL, IRON
AND PETROLEUM
Senate Subcommittee on Agri-
culture Votes to Greatly
Widen Scope Of Pend
ing Food Measure.

Washington, June 26-ENtension Of
government control to iron and steel
and their products, petroleum and its
products, farm implements and sisal,
jute and heml products, such as bind
ing twine, was decided upon today
as an amendment to the adminstra-
ton food control bill by senate agri-
culture subcommittee.
Other amendments agreed to by
the subcommittee. which will remove
much opposition to the legislation,
provide that the bill shall not appl. to
farmers, gardeners and stock raisers'
products raised upon their own land
and shall not give the food admins
traitor. power to impose individuals
rations or regulate their meals. The
committee deferred action upon the
prohibition section.
Dealer Predicts Shortage.
{. NJ. Moderwell, Chicago dealer,
predicted a serious coal shortage at
the head Of the great lakes unless ac-
tion is taken. He believed fixing OF
an arbitrary price now was undesir-
able. Fear OF prosecution under the
Sherman law, prevents the operators
agreeing among themselves to bring
down the price, he declared.
Chairman Newlands expressed the
opinion that the attorney general
would not construe the Sherman law
in that way.
81 think if the attorney general
would tell Us that the law would not
be used against us, we could bring
down the price of coal very quickly"
Mr.. Moderwell replied. He added
that the coal situation was in part
caused by the fact that the mines
operate only eight hours day while
a majority of industries are in opera
ton twenty-four hours a day. Ca
pacity of the mines is about 40 per
cent, more than present production
but he doubted if they would be able
to reach maximum production for
lack of railroad transportation.
Admits Raising Prices.
What is the average increase in
the price of coal to the consumer
asked Senator Pomerene.
1T has been very large" he re-
piled Il would say that it has been
rs to 100 per cent, but that is only an
estimate"
How do you justify the increase?"
Goal operators are just as human
as anybody else and they have taken
advantage of the conditions and the
people"

Secretary LAWSON Wires War
Department Head in 0pposi-
ton to Cantonment;
Strike Ended.

Mill >men went back TO work this
morning in number of Omaha plan
ing mills, after their union voted at a
meeting Monday night that their men
might take Jobs wherever IS cents per
hour is being paid. Thirty-hve cents
an hour is what they struck for. Some
of the mills had been paying that be-
fore the strike; other had not. 1t is
said most of the mills are paying that
figure now.
Eighty boiler makers returned 70
work Monday in the plants of the c.
G. johnson company, and the Drake
WilliamsMount company. They aC-
cepted at S. cents AL hour, which, the
employers say, is what they were Of
fered when they struck. They had
been getting IS cents and demanded
62H.
Building trades workers have not
returned to work. in any appreciable
numbers.
Knock Army Camp.
As a desperate drive in the local
labor war the unions have made it
known that if they can't win their
strike, they don't want Omaha to have
the army cantonment.
By order Of the strike captains here
from Chicago, the Building Trades
Protective league this morning tele-
graphed Secretary of War Baker and
Samuel Gompers to urge that the can
tonment camp not be located at
Omaha on account of labor troubles.
The telegram was signed by Gus
Lawson, secretary Of the Building
Trades Protective association, and
was as follows:
Wires to Washington.
THE Building Trade league Of
Omaha, Neb., has instructed me to in
form you that inasmuch as the Busi-
ness Mems association las locked out
the building trade workers, has re-
fused to confer with the union repre-
sentatives and has refused govern
ment and state mediation to adjust
the labor difficulty, that we protest
against selecting Omaha or vicinity
as site for cantonment camp un-
less the Business Mems association
will agree to adjust the labor situa-
ton, affecting 1000 members"

Several hundred thousand volunteer
workers participated in the intensive
canvass, which was unique in Ameri-
can history. Only three weeks be-
fore had plans for nationwide drive
been Formulated by the new Red
Cross council. To organize the coun-
try on such short notice was tre-
mendous task. but it was accom-
plishcd mainly by enlistment of
trained campaign managers of ,the
Young Mems Christian association
and chambers of commerce TO assist
the 1,S00 Red Cross local chapters.

ton Of its $l7,000000 apportionment.
Reports early today showed an excess
of about $500000.
Meanwhile Red Cross officials will
try to formulate plans for the most
efficient expenditure of the millions,
large portions of which already are
sought by humanitarian interests in
France, Russia, RoVmania and other
European war-stricken countries, as
well as here mi America.
Just as the campaign closed last
night, the first actual money reached

British and German Airmen
In Battle Over Flanders

London, June 26.-Three British
naval airplanes fought a battle with
ten German machines over Flanders
on Monday. An official account of
the fight says one and probably three
of the Germans were driven down.
All the British airmen returned
safely.
The announcement follows:
In the course of a patrol on Mon
day three naval airplanes encountered
and engaged ten enemy machines in
the vicinity of Roulers. They fought
for sixteen minutes and brought down
one enemy in flames. 1t is believed
two others were driven down out of

HITCHCOCK HAS

.BUBBLEFORH|M
Nebraska's Weather Vane Sen
ator Comes to Town to
Launch Boom; Grooms Me-
vile as His Successor.

Hitchcock for PRESIDENT" This is
a bubble which World-Herald en-
ployes have been quietly trying to
blow into wholesome proportions
since Senator Hitchcock paid short
visit to Omaha FIVE or six weeks ago.
The senator made this visit to
Omaha while congress was in session,
and by many it is considered signif-
cent that he should have had urgent
business in Omaha when congress
was busy with war budgets, and that
the Hitchcock presidential boom be-
gan to work quietly Immediately
thereafter.
A prominent employe of Senator
Hitchcock's paper is quoted as say
ing:
"They simply can't beat the senator
for the democratic nomination for
the presidency. Look at him. He was
in the public eye as chairman of the
foreign relations committee on the
war resolution, when Senator Stone
as chairman refused to serve and
lead the fight. That puts him in the
lmelight as the leader in the senate
fighting the big battle OF the president
in crisis ..s f. E
Rattles in Chicago.
Omahans in Chicago recently heard
of the Hitchcock bubble among the
Roger Sullivan democrats there.
These fellows, it is said, like drown
ing men, are clutching at the Hitch
cock straw as a possible means OF
getting even with Bryan for the many
iorpedoes he has put beneath their
boats in the in the past,
William H. Dech, populist war
horse OF Saunders county, almost
swore when he first heard Of the
Hitchcock bubble. Dech was for
Hitchcock for the senate. and is now
understood TO be among those peeved
because so large crop Of the federal
appointments which depended upon
senatorial patronage did not come as
they had been planned or promised.
1T would be the crime OF crimes
to run him for president" roared
Dech when he was discussing the sub
jcct. But | hope he will be candi-
date so that his own state may have
the opportunity of showing him up"
Defeat is Foretold.
Dech is understood to have told
Harvey Newbranch OF the World
Herald that Hitchcock would not get
one vote in Ithaca precinct for presi-.
dent for every three he got for the
senate.
Already the friends Of the move
ment have slated the successor to
Hitchcock in the United States senate.
This is to be Governor Keith Neville.
The Hitchcock crowd is said to, be
grooming Neville for a second term
for governor and at the same time
getting him toned up for a race for
the senate after that.
This plan also furishes one more ex-
PLANTATION why this crowd is so anx-
ious to keep Neville out of the
trenches, and keep him at home to
carry out the Hitchcock presidential
nomination plan. .
