ADVOCATES COMMITTEE
ON CONDUCT Of WAR
Joint Congressional Body to Be Pro-
vided for in Senator Weeks
Amendment.

Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts, said
today he intends to offer as an amend
ment to the pending food control
measure his bill authorizing the ap-
pointment of joint congressional
committee on the conduct of tho war.
An identical bill. introduced in the
House by Mr.. Madden of Illinois. has
been favorably reported by the COM
mittee on rules and is on the House
calendar.
There are accommodating reasons
why a joint committee of Congress on
the conduct Of the war should be
created" said Senator Weeks today.
Things are developing which in the
natural course were expected to come
when these bills were introduced last
April In an entirely non-partisan spirit
and only out of desire to be really
helpful.
Necessity Of Central Body.
Recent events have shown the ne
cessity for some central body to look
inco occurrences and investigate re-
ports OF things happening. not only for
the protection Of the government but
TO clear the good name of officers and
officials who are doing their utmost in
this war for the benefit of the nation"
that Joint committee shall be ap-
pointed. composed of six Snators, four
democrats and two Republicans, and
six members of the House. three re-
publicans and three democrats to be
known as the joint committee on the
conduct of the war. The membership of
the committee shall be designated by
the respective committees which select
the members OF the regular standing
committees.
The committee shall make a special
study OF the problems arising out of
the war. shall confer and advise with
the President of the United States and
the heads of the various executive de-
partments. and shall make report to
congress from time TO time in its own
discretion or when requested to do so
by either branch of Congress
The committee shall have power to
act by subcommittee or otherwise and
to send for persons and papers. to ad-
minister oaths and compel the attend
aHce of witnesses.

Socialists Publications Denied Mails

Ten socialist newspapers and mag
azines have been excluded from mails.
according to Representative London of
New York, who has introduced a reso-
luton asking for an investigation into
the Post Office activities in that d.
rection. It Is understood that most
of the papers have been denied the
mails because Of anti-draft utterances.

Women to Have Genuine Control.

The under-nourished child" Miss
Rankin continued. "is one of the ma
tons biggest problems And one Of the
finest things that will come out of all
this agitation Is that IN the end women
will have a genuine control Of the food
problem.
she will no longer be told to stay
home and save apple Feelings. when
thousands Of acres of apples are rotting
in orchards for want of transportation

Ponds as much upon transportation as
upon any other factor. We know we
have the food in Montana that New
York needs.
I'VE are facing other problems. such
as the production on large scale. We
cannot go into back yards and raise a
few acres of vegetables and feel we
have accomplished much, when thou
sands of acres are lying idle"

Mrs. odenheimer for Cheaper Bread

Mrs. Odenheimer argued that since
bakers had done away with stale bread.
formerly sold to institutions and to
the poor, that women should see to 1t
that the price Of bread came down.
Thinking women should consider that
they are still paying 10 cents loaf. de-
spite this saving by the bakers" she
said. They can bring the price Of
bread down II they boycott wheat bread
They can do that without hardship II
they learn the use of cornmeal."
Mrs. Odenheimer had samples of corn
bread and corn mullins to demonstrate
how palatable they were.
She also urged that as a food conser-
walton measure dogs should be taxed.
ct love dogs" she said, but I love
children more. and the vision OF those
emaciated children Of Belgium haunts
me in my sleep"

Needs Of Women Of the West.

Miss Rankin asserted that our social
institutions now initiate against this

Much Of 1t is far from railroads.
Women live in the west on desolate
ranches. she said. giving up everything
to develop i tneir country; ye. they are
couraged by proper social insurance
laws.
Then, in tho west. there is no longer
the hired man who is a part OF the
and a permanent home" she continued.
Now the worker IL pushed from one
farm to another. No one is interested
in him. His wages may be high for a
few days, but he may spend weeks
looking for work.

Somebody Getting High Profits.

The speaker said that before long
some arrangement must be made for
the care of children whose mothers go
to work in factories or shops. She said
schoolhouses should be kept open for
that purpose, and that other women

Farmers at Mercy Of Elevator Men.

when the farmers grain reaches the
elevator he is at the entire mercy of
the elevator man. When it gets to Chi
cago, or some other great center, No.
wheat may be mixed with No. 3
wheat, and the farmer cannot prevent
it That is why we have insisted that
Congress establish a federal grain
grading, so that farmers will be as
sured a price for the wheat they raise.
IF women are to take hold of the
food situation all these factors must
be considered 1t is not for her to
close her door and seek to fed her own
child, she must see to it that other chill
dren are fed.
While men are in Europe concen-
trating upon the mems part in this war
let women get together so that they
shall be accredited by future generations
with playing real, vital part in this
war"

Food Problem for Legislation.

"A generation or two ago the food
problem was really home problem"
Miss Rankin explained. Now 1t is
largely a problem connected with forces
tation. distribution and storage. What
a woman does with the little bit of
food that comes into her home is a
very small part of today's food problem.
For those major factors I have men,
toned are not controlled in the kitchen,
they are controlled by legislation"
That is why. Miss Rankin argued,
that women must have a legislative
leverage If she Is to be effective in con-
serving food. In beginning her address
she whimsically remarked: II have
just been looking into some Indian af-
fairs, and always think Indian affairs
and women's affairs are very much
alike. Women and Indians have about
the same standing in most communi-
ties. and they have been treated about
alike"
