HOUSE MAY PASS MEASURE
AFTER ONE WEEKS DEBATE
President May Be Able To Balk
Enemies Plans and Hoover
Starts Work Of Organizing Wo-
men For Household Economy
ASSOCIATED Press BY o. 8. Naval Com.
munication Service) ...

XXTASHlNGToN, June 10 -
w The fight on the proposed
food bill is on in earnest.
Opponents to the measure,
which is being advocated by
President Wilson and Herbert c.
Hoover, the, food director Of the
country, are laying their plans to
delay the passage Of the bill and
4. to emasculate it If possible.
Worse than that It looks now as
II they we're going to be able to
balk the action Of the majority
Of congress and keep the bin
from becoming a law at least un-
til after the first OF the coming
month, the time set as most de-
sirabIe by President Wilson.
The house is more than like
ly to pass the bill before the end
of this week, but the real obsta-
Gle will come when the senate be-
gins work on the measure. Here
the elements which have stead
tasty opposed the President
since the outbreak Of the war,
and have played into the hands
of the pro-Germans and the paci-
ficists are preparing to renew
their fight on any administration
measure, and the indications
now are that they are going to
put up a strong fight. Indeed
there is talk of an open fiIibuster
against the proposed act. They
openly boast that they will be
able to delay the passage OF the
bill for several weeks and per-
haps longer.
There is however, reason to
believe, that President Wilson
has plans that will defeat this
scheme of the opposition and
will force them into line. There
was some talk in Capitol circles
last night to that effect.
Hoover Is Confident
Hoover is confident that the measure
will become a law, and Is already at
work upon the personnel of his organ
ization. He has completed the Prelimi-
nary steps for the organization of q
women 3 conservation army aud is now
organizing his staff for the registration
of women in the rank and file of this
force. One of the steps he proposes is
u widespread campaign for the teaching
of domestic science TO the women of
America, and another includes q pub
licity campaign. He is also planning
for a better development of relations
between the different States of the
Union. ..r.
Mr.. Hoover said that he was prepared
to begin his fight against inflated war
prices as soon as congress grants the
President the power under which he
will operate. In Mr.. Hoover's opinion,
stabilization Of prices is the first and
imperative step that must be taken
against mounting prices, and there will
be no serious problem If there is sin.
cere cooperation between producer and
consumer.
First, Mr.. Hoover made it apparent
that he did not seek TO be an autocratie
figure in the food administ ration and
that he intended to call to his side the
men whom he considered the ablest rep
resentatives of the big concerns, as well
