There has been tightening up in the

are being weeded out. About a. dozen
men each week have the suggestion
made to them that they do not seem
to the instructors to be temperamentaI-
ly adapted to the work and that they
Will be allowed to resign. These men
are not forced to leave the camp, but
are merely advised that they would
probably not receive commissions at

INQUIRY TO COVER
WIDE TERRITORY
Cost Of Living Investigation
Planned by Federal Trade
Commission.
TO EMBRACE ALL FOODS

Something different in the way Of
high cost Of living Investigations may
be expected from the coming probe by
the federal trade commission. The first
OF the Investigators are expected to go
into the field within ten days at the
latest. In at least six months from
the time they go out. it is planned and
hoped. the first report. with recon-
mendations. will be before the public
for its information.
With view to getting the informa-
ton while there is demand for 1t. so
that proper action may be taken to
give such relief as may be necessary
to correct any price manipulation evils
which might be uncovered, a special
staff Of the commission is being or
ganized. AS fast as the information Is
gained by the. field agents it will come
to Washington for tabulatfon, and
everything will be kept right UP to
date
The principal complaint against such
high cost of living investigations as
have been conducted by the government
in the past, 1t was pointed out today.
was that 1t was several years before
the results of the investigation were
available. By the time the results were
known the matters existing, which were
responsible for the investigation in many
instances. had been corrected. and the
public had forgotten the trouble.
