WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 27.-Food
Administrator Hoover is getting ready
20 swing his big stick
The FIRST blow probably will fall
within ten days. when at least four
lines Of prosecution viii be opened
leainst violators OF food regulations.
ONE LINE OF PROSECUTION will be
against large retail dealers who have
made temporary shortages In sugar and

commodities Some dealers have re-
1uired customers TO purchase so cents

Hoover has ruled that dealers may
require but one combination purchase
hat they may require purchase OF two
pounds Of corn-meal for each pound OF
sugar.
Any other requirement Of combination
purchases Is strictly outside Hoover g

THE SECOND CLASS OF PRoSECU-
TIONS will be Of dealers charging ex-
brilliant prices simply because q short

'1n this reply the president of the
company said:
The existing agreement between
this company and its trainmen, which
you signed, as YOU are aware, does aot
expire until March II, 1917. and was

as representing all of the trainmen, and
know that the proper adjustment of the
many questions which will arise as a
result of any effort to modify or change
the conditions of that agreement will
require the cool, careful and the undi-
vided attention of all parties directly
interested, as well as the entire time of
a medatorial board. You know. fur
ther, that the board of Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, each Off
Ger of this company and every one of
its employees must from now until some
days after the inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson devote their time, atten-
ton and energies to the duties and OBJ
legations which all and each of US owe
to the entire country in properly caring
for the visitors who wish to attend that
Inauguration. This is especially true of
our trainmen, to whom the safety and
comfort of so many visitors to their
National Capital is committed.
THE company, it's officers and en-
ployes, are even now called upon to
meet the unusual traffic conditions that
arise from the influx of people who
wish to attend the inaugural cere-
monies, and we therefore trust that all
Of our employees will not only prove loyal
TO the company. but to the city and coun-
try. in contributing their share for
successful inauguration. When we
shall have discharged this duty, which
all of US owe TO the President and the
alton, we will have ample time to
clamly consider the situation. and shall
be pleased to take UP any matter per-
tanning to the interests of our en-
ployes. as we have always been willing
to do.
You will note that in this letter the
president of the company stated that
the proper adjustment of the questions
involved would require the entire time

AT this time Mr. King presented cop

"Inasmuch as one year ago the COM

of collective bargaining. and inasmuch

offered to the general officers of the

ground that under no circumstances
