RUSH DRAFT DATA;
MAY DRAW FRIDAY
Only Few Districts in Ten States
Are Awaited.
AT WORK ON FINAL DETAILS
Government Officials Explain Criticized
Population Estimates of the Gen.
sus Bureau--Crowder Hopeful
of Quick Completion.

Washington. July 1S.-With only ten
states remaining to be heard from on
the organization of local exemption
boards, and with the serial number
lists of registrants from all but GAO of
the 1859 exemption districts on file in
Washington, Provost Marshal General
Crowder was hopeful that the prelim-
mary stages of the war army drawing
would be completed within 4S hours.
Final details OF the draft were com
pleted at conference between Secre-
tary of War Baker and Provost Mar
shall General Enoch Crowder. Gen
eral Crowder submitted to the secre-
tary his final draft of the regulations
for the actual drawing. The secretary
approved them and they Immediately
were forwarded to the government
printing Office. Thousands of copies
are now being run off the presses.
If there is no unexpected delay it
seems likely that the drawing can be
held Friday or Saturday. A single dis
trict which fails to finish its preim-
mary work on time, however, can hold
up action indefinitely.
Once past the drawing stage, Gen
eral CrOwder pointed out, the neces-
sity for concerted action by the states
ceases and tie examination of regis
trants and their assignment to the
army or exemption can proceed in
any state without regard to progress
made in any other community.
States Not Ready
The ten states not having completed
their preparations Sar the drawing
are: Alabama, Illinois, New York,
Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Ken
lucky, Ohio. Pennsylvania and Vir-
ginia. The group includes the states
having the largest population and
probably the total population of all ten
represents somewhere near half of the
population of the entire country.
The fact that reports from anly GAO
additional districts of the 1859 are
missing. however. shows that even in
the ten states the work Is well ad-
vanced and each has only a few dis
tricts behind schedule.
General Crowder declined to make
any comment on the statements made
In the senate attacking the fairness of
the census bureau population estimates
upon which the allotment Of quotas
under the draft law is based.
How Estimate Is Explained.
Other officials pointed out, however,
that the revised estimates of the cen
sus bureau we're not intended TO fix the
actual population Of any community.
The estimates are prefaced with the
statement that they are for use in
connection with the draft only. They
are based upon registration and repre-
sent the distribution over the country
Of men between the ages fixed in the
draft law as liable for military service.
Large figures for many of the cities
are accounted for by the concentration
of men of the draft age there for work
in munltlOn or other plants.

SWEEPING PROFIT
QUIZ BEGUN At
CHICAGO BY us.
Federal Trade Experts Seek Data
For Price Regulation Laws.
DAVIES SEES PACKERS FIRST
Steel Interests Are Also Subjects Of
ioatIon--Francis }. HeneH
Noted Californian Trust Bust
err Is Directing the Work.

Chicago July 1S.-Two investiga
tons under President Wilson's fair
profits order to big business have
just been launched here by Joseph e.
Davies of the federal trade commits
sion. They were directed:
First, At the big Chicago packers,
who, 1t is charged, are responsible for
high food prices.
Second, at the steel interests, which,
It is alleged, are impelled to raise
or lower the price Of their products
by the demand rather than by the cost
OF production and distribution.
Davies was accompanied from Wash
ington by DIR. T. N. Robertson, chief
economist of the commission, who will
have direct charge of the inquiry I'M
der Davies supervision. About sixty
employees Of the commission will be
here In a short time to assist. Several
field agents have been on the ground
for weeks.
Heney Directing the Work.
Francis j. Heney Of California, IA
nous trust buster" will not be here
for the preliminary investigation, but
will direct the work from Washington,
Mr.. Davies said
Mr.. Davies and Doctor Robertson
opened their probe by comforting with
committee representing the Ameri-
can Live Stock association, followed
by a meeting with the big packers.
Mr.. Davies then went 10 Gary, Ind,
to inspect the steel mills and quiz the
steel company officials.
Separate Investigations will be
launched into the price of flour, bread,
canned goods and the cost Of storage.
Davies said. Several OF these may be
directed from Chicago. he added.
Coal Prices Excessive.
Mr.. Davies was confronted on his
arrival with report from Mr.. Chllds
that charges excessive coal prices, de-
spite an enormous increase in produc-
ton. Coal is TO form one OF the chief
subjects Of Mr. Davies inquiry.
Mr.. Childs report shows that more
Nllhhi A'itt 'ptll was nlllIlllfh III JulN
than In any previous month In the his
tory Of the nation. June anthracite
shipments were 7,049037 tons lap
062 tons more than last year at the
same time, when the production, he
says, first exceeded the consumption.
The production of all coal for the
first six months Of this year was 81
667, 900 tons he says, as against 3d.
42l, 900 tons for the same period last
year. Soft coal shipments in May are
said to have been 2S per cent higher
than last year.
The report declares that there have
been no reductions in prices and indi-
Gates belief that the normal play of
supply and demand has not been al
lowed to fix prices.
