Fixing of Prices
For Service Food
Hits Gamblers
Hysteria and Greed Will
End if Profits Are Linn
tied, Hartigan Says

Federal price fixing for all army and
navy food supplies was accepted by
New York food experts yesterday as
the first telling blow at the big specu-
lators whose operations played a prom
inent part in the increased cost Of liy-
ing. 1t was suggested that action
against gambling in wheat on the Chi
cago Board Of Trade soon would fol-
low, resulting in drop in the price
Of bread
"1'm mighty glad to see that the food
situation is being handled firmly az
Washington said Commissioner Jo-
seph Hartigsn, secretary OF the Mayor j
Food Committee. "All that is necessary
is TO overcome the hysteria of many of
the consumers and the greed for inor-
dinate profits by big spectators, and
have food sold at q price commen-
surate with the cost Of production. That
is what the government is doing. and
it is going to have a decidedly favor
able effect.
Although hundreds Of applications
from city workers who desire TO return
TO the soil BY New York farms and city
plots are reaching the Mayors Com
mittce on Food Gardens, few have been
accepted, because Of their unftness.
Bookkeepers, stenographers and office
workers will probably be compelled 10
remain at their desks.
Repeated pleas for workers are being
received from upstate farmers and
from Long Island. In many instances
the farm owners have offered to sell
their farms, saying that they could OBJ
tain no help and found it impossible to
work them profitably.
News that Connecticut IS making use
OF enemy aliens who have been COM
PEELED to give up jobs in munitions
factories by placing them on farms is
expected to result in another request
that the interned German sailors be so
used. A dispatch from New Haven
County, Conn, said that many such la
borers were proving good workers.
John A. Wilbur, member of the
Mayors Food Gardens Committee, with
authority over the district between
Ninety-sixth and l35th streets, from
river to river, yesterday announced that
he was prepared to have ploughed or
take over any vacant land within the
district not under cultivation. Appica-
tions for land in this and other districts
Of New York increased during the day,
with Brooklyn we'll in the lead.
Harry s. Harkness. who has acquired
the Sheepshead Bay Speedway and
many acres OF adjoining property, has
announced that the first project in
which it will figure will be that Of food
raising. The entire property inside the
track will be given over to the produc-
ton Of potatoes. beans and corn.

OF the big beef and provision packing
plants of Chicago and Kansas City was
advocated by Senator Borah, of Idaho,
during debate in the Senate to-day on
the food situation.
The debate touched on nearly all
details Of the cost OF foodstufs. the
danger OF a worldwide famine and the
necessity Of supplying the Entente
armies. not TO mention our own, with
food during the war. whether it shall
last one year or five.
a charge that the present wave Of
high prices was due TO the machina-
tions Of German agents was made by
Senator Williams, who urged that moth
ing be said in the Senate which would
increase the hysteria OF the people and
thereby aid the food manipulators 10
get still higher prices.
~ would take these combinations,
said Senator Thomas, OF Colorado, "by
the throat and never release the stran-
gle hold until they had been compelled
TO loosen their grip on the producers
md consumers Of this country"
I'VE are reading lots about world
famine declared Senator Williams,
but do not see anything printed
about the fact that in the South we
are planting more corn and other food
stufrs than ever before. There is one
great trouble-labor but machinery is
gradually making up for that. We did
not know what tractor was down in
