Brewers association declaring fthe true

Thomas Alton of the California Brew

NO CLASH BETWEEN
DEPARTMENTS OF
FOOD-FUFL CONTROL
Hoover and Garfield Lunch
Together and Act In Per-
feet Accord

Washington, Dec. 4-The entire
priority transportation problem was
brought to head today by joint action
of Herbert Hoover and fuel Admins
traitor Garfield. To show there was no
personal clash over the question of Civ
ing foor or coal preference in freight
movements, they took luncheon togeth-
er. 1t was officially explained that their
apparently conflicting statements of
last night were prepared jointly as a
Fbomb'' under the priority committee
of the war industries board.
Regarding the car shortage and
freight congestion as the country IS most
serious domestic problem, Hoover and
Garfield are pressing the priority com
mittee for definite stand in favor of
war essentials against non-war com
modities.
The preferential order Garfield ask
for coal and coke and empty cars did
not specify priority over food essentials
livestock and perishables, according to
Hoover's office. But both "dictators
desire an order which win place their
commodities in a class with public util-
tiles, railroads, government work and
munitions ahead of non-essentials.
If this is not Forthcoming shortly, in
dications are that they will appeal to
President Wilson. The whole subject is
likely to be threshed out at Monday IS
meeting of the new war council in
which Hoover and Garfield will have
a chance to talk matters over directly
with priority administrator Lovett.

war expenditures foreshadow long
session.
The "wealth conscription forces
are lining up against bond advocates on
the expected drive for more war rev.
enues. Prominent administration lead
ers are in favor of issuing additional
bonds and avoiding further revenues
legislation at this session.
The application of war taxes impos-
ed in the last session still remain to
be worked out by the internal revenue
department, with legal clashes over the
excess profits section impending.
1t appears certain that among appro-
priation measures will be relief for rail
roads. Government credits for the car
riers and outright purchase for them of
needed war equipment are under con-
sideration in high Legislative circles.
Bitter fights are i'll prospect over the
press clauses in the espionage and trad
ing with the enemy laws. A measure
will be introduced to prevent barring
of any publication from the mails ex-
cept after full hearing by a regular
court. Some advocates of free press and
free speech claim the postoffice depart
ment IS given too broad judicial powers
Slightly related was criticism today
by a house member of the present cen
sorship as giving pro-German rumors
mongers a fertile field.
e'The country's full of rumors' he
said. "They are mostly wild and, on
their face, unbelievable. But people
have heard SO much about the censor
ship preventing publication of certain
matters that they are ready to believe
almost anything, particularly if they
don t see it printed. Something ought
to be done to make the censorship sen
sible.'
The ten year fight over the govern
ment IS conservation policy will come to
head early in the approaching ses
sion. War time demand for enormously
increased production of coal, oil, gas
and cheap power makes utilization Of
national resources one Of the biggest
questions Of the hour. Widely divergent
views are held by members regarding
the government leasing policy.
Senators Myers, Montana; Pittsman
Nevada; Walsh, Montana; Shields, Ten
nessee and Phelan, Calf; win introduce
leasing. bills. Representative Ferris, Ok
lahoma, will look after conservation
measures in the house.
