MEET TO OUTLINE ACTION
ON CENSORSHIP PROVISION
House Republicans Decide, Only One
Dissenting, That Clause Should
Be Voted Out.

Republicans of the House met in con-
ference this morning to outline har-
monious party action on the censorship
provision OF the espionage bill when
the conference report on that measure
comes up in the House for considera-
ton. It was the Judgment of the meet
Ing this morning, with only one dis
senting vote, that the censorship clause
should be voted against by republi-
cans.
When the bill was up in the House
twenty-four republicans voted for the
so-called Gard amendment imposing
censorship upon the press. thereby con-
tributing to its adoption by the House
The Senate omitted from its bill all
reference to press censorship, and dur
ing the conferences between the two
houses the Senate conferees have
stoutly resisted the demands Of the
House conferees in behalf of the Gard
amendment. This pressure from the
the practical abandonment by the ad-
ministration of insistence upon a form
of press censorship.
The Gard amendment prohibits the
dissemination of information that will
tend to aid the enemy and provides
jury trial for those indicted under the
proposed act. The jury would decide
whether the information was intended
to be helpful to the enemy.
The conferees struggled all day yes
terday over the points at issue between
until tomorrow. Provisions still in
dispute include export embargo. search
warrant legislation and warrant for
the use Of the army and navy to pre-
vent interference with foreign COM
merce.

EGG SPECTATOR CACKKES.-
The agricultural dept announces
that eggs are going into cold stOr-
age at "a cents per dozen, which is
so per cent higher than last year.
This means that during most of
next fall and winter American house
wives will have to pay so per cent
more for eggs than last fall and win
ter. Figure it out, please. 1t means
so to 90-cent eggs, doesn't it? Just
abOut-and, likely, more too, for the
cold storage man will not only put
that so per cent extra he's now pay
ing for eggs upon his prices, but his
expenses are going to be higher and
the housewife can safely bet the good
will of her cook that these increases
will also go upon the price of eggs.
You will not rupture your power of
imagination by piCturing yourself,
father and the children coming out
to the breakfast table, cold mornings
next winter, to find eggs 81 the

wife, is in the center of a ring. Cir

of eggs, by preserving eggs now for

above the reach of anti-aircraft guns.
The cold storage men are taking
so per cent more risk in putting up
eggs for you. They simply have SO
per cent more confidence in your
helplessness. They plan to hard-fry
you in December. They will, unless
you scramble them in April.
TO MAKE UP DECREASES.-The
national crop bureau of the U. S.
weather bureau views crop prospects
thus, at this time:
A decided decrease in winter
wheat.
An increase in corn and potatoes.
It is improbable that anything can
now be done to knock down this de-
crease in winter wheat, although a
saving Of many millions of bushels
produced can be made by the house
wives demanding whOlewheat -four
instead of the white sorts.
But, in every part of this country
where there are irrigation plants or
where rainfall can reasonably be ex-
pected, there is still time to put in
corn, potatoes, peas and beans. The
increase in these four fOodstuffs can
be made simply enormous, If it is,
wheat's decrease will not result in
any loss whatever in health, ply
steal stamina or morals. To the
contrary, it will mean enhancement
of national strength at a time when
the nation needs to be especially
strong.

MESA, July 11.-Thomas c. Evans of Los Angeles has been selected by the directors of the Mesa Commercial club as secretary. MT. Evans who was not present at the meeting was notified by phone of his appointment. He came over from Phoenix where he had been stopping and now is at work at his new duties

He formerly was secretary of the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, and has had active service in the news de- partment of the Los Angeles Times Malcolm Fraser, formerly secretary of the Fl PasO Chamber of Commerce and now secretary to the governor, wrote President c.

Evans is in the same condition of every other new conner, finding a dearth of vacant residences.
 At the same meeting the directors discussed the advisability of moving the club headquarters to some more central location and it was decided to make investigation as to the differ ent buildings available for the purpose.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The market seems to have gathered it's regular short interest that is always prevalent on all declines and ever re- fuses to cover except at a loss. The Steel Corpn. will earn about enough in one quarter to pay their government tax for one year. This means that there will be approximately about nine ty dol ars lett to apply as earnings on the stock. The market. recovering from its oversold condition, is reflect ing these above conditions. The gov ernment price-fixing bugaboo is caus- ing the public to overlook some good bargains in the Steel, Coppers and Equipments at these levels.
 That the market is highly profes- sional is displayed in the small amount of stock brokers offer whenever de- pression of prices stops for account of operators for the decline. Not much long stock comes on the market and when the bear element tries to retire contracts after moderate reactions, smart bids have to be made to re treat from the bear position ill stand ard active stocks.
 A new war loan of s3,000, 900, the sec ord installment of the Liberty Loan of 1917 will be offered to the public at 34a per cent on September l5, it was learned at the treasury. This issue will dispose of the entire amount Of war bonds authorized by congress of s5, GOO.
 Copper shares have not responded as many thought they would to the satisfactory negotiations for fixing prices on the orders from the United States government and Allies. Their action, when it became known that copper producers would not have to drop prices below 25c, was very dis appointing to those who had been pre- dieting that the copper shares would have their turn like the Steel and war shares.
 People are beginning to realize that if steel is necessary, so Is coal; If copper is necessary, so is coal. Prac- tically every mill and manufactory in the country is run with coal. The railroads use it to haul their freight and the ships to transport their car goes. People are not used to speculat- ing in coal stocks because so few of them (only of them) and in the next place the stocks are not high enough to buy yet
 i When they get higher and more of them listed and they get selling for as much or more than they are worth everyone will buy them.
 It is estimated that the earnings ol the Steel corporation for quarter vii be around $130,00O,000 that the gov ernment tax paid by the company fol 1917 vii be about s140,000.000 or g: per share.
