Washington, May 2o.-Following
President Wilson's proclamation, CON
gress Will begin work tomorrow on Il
measure destined to conserve the food
supply. 1t will be pressed for speedy
passage
The bill in question came from the
senate committee on agriculture and
was stimulated by the administration
as Il direct result of the recent ex-
haustive report by Secretary OF Agri
culture Houston.
Senator Gore, Of Oklahoma. chair
man OF the committee. introduced the
bill. There is one respect in which
the bill differs from the presidential
suggestion. Unlike the Lever food
bill now pending in the house. there
Is no provision for fixing prices. It
Is probable that a bin dealing with
this Will be sent to the senate later
on. The administration takes the view
that II Is better to pass AT once all
food Legislation that can be enacted
without great debate. Ideas that will
meet with more opposition will be
brought up al another time.
The Gore bill deals chiefly with food
distribution and the prevention OF con-
spiracles and manipulation.

his measure. that in view of the
