Wilson Wants Action
on Food Control Bill

s Washington, June 12.-Congression-
al delay in enacting food legislation
was taken up by President Wilson and
the cabinet today and the president, it
is understood, decided to take steps
to hasten action. He probably will not
make special address to congress on
the subject, as has been suggested, but
may call in congressional leaders
again to impress upon them the need
for immediate passage Of the bills.
A delegation of labor leaders and
congressman, who yesterday called on
the president to ask him to urge early
consideration of food measures, will
see Herbert c.. Hoover tomorrow,
Grant Hamilton, a member of the
delegation of the American Federation
of Labor, said today that If labor gen.
orally approves the bill, a campaign
will be started to have labor unions
urge on their congressman passage Of
the measure by July l. II
The reason that July is selected
as the latest date" said Mr.. Hamilton,
''is the fact that already harvests are
being gathered in Texas and by July
the dow Of new grain into elevators
will be general. 1t will then be con-
trolled by SPECTATORS unless the gov
ernment secures legislation providing
it with machinery whereby a sufficient
amount of grain can be kept in this
country for our own use and price be
maintained that will be liberal to
the producer and reasonable to con-
sumers. ~. @N--- .sa $ :.
At meeting of labor men we were
all ssreed to the principle that undea
present conditions, it is essential that
the government be given sufficient
authority to protect original producers
Of foodstuffs and also consumers and
that we would be favorable to any
legislation that will bring about these
results. We also agreed to insist, and
i propose to make our insistence heard.
that labor be represented on all agen-
cies, state, fedora, county or muniei-
!. pal, which have anything whatever to
\ do with the administration of any law
passed by congress to cope with the
food supply" 5
Mr.. Hoover expects to have the or
ganization of the food administration
complete when congress passes the
control bill. -. %&.@g: -. r.

in Food Control

Washington, June 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture completed it's
consideration today of the food con-
troll BILL Chairman Lever will report
the bill to the house within couple
of days, or as soon as he can prepare
the report The main purpose of the
bill came back from the committee
strengthened, including the sweeping
powers granted to the president in Sec
tion 3. Three sections were stricken
out, being those providing for the fix
ing of standards, increasing the mill
ing per centage Of -four, and permit
ing the mixing Of wheat -four with
corn starch, barley meal, etc.
The drastic boarding section re-
mains in the bill, also the section in
respect to licensing those engaged in
the manufacture, storage and distribu-
ton of necessaries, with a proviso ex-
cepting retailers. The section pro-
hibiting waste and destruction of food
stuffs also remains in the bill as we'll
as the sections prohibiting the use of
grain for the manufacture of alcohol,
and authorizing the fixing of minimum
prices for farm products. The maxi
mum price provision was stricken out.
The requisition section and the Sec
ton respecting the control and ~regu-
lation of boards of trade and grain ex-
changes remain in the bill with two
important amendments proposed by
Congressman George M. Young. BY
one amendment the power to requisi-
tion storage space was enlarged SO as
to permit the construction of storage
elevators. The other amendment was
to the section aimed at evil practices
upon grain exchanges, which in order
to prevent injurious speculation and
unjust market manipulation gives the
president power to prescribe rules and
regulations for grain exchanges and
may even prohibit such practices.
The amendment is most important
and is in line with the recommenda-
tions of the recent committee of farm
ers from the northwest who appeared
before the committee. This amendmen
before the committee. This amend
ment as proposed by Mr.. Young and
adopted by the committee reads as fol-
lows:
Add, after the word "practices" in
line II, the following:
Further for the purposes of this
section the president may require all
persons coming within it's provision
to keep such records and statements
of account, and may require such per-
sons to make such returns, verified un-
der oath or otherwise, as will fully and
correctly disclose all transactions at,

Cleveland consolidated school. Mr..

show, what good those subjects had
accomplished with boys and girls.
Miss Clara L. Larson told of her
work as county school nurse and
pleaded for better sanitary and hy-
genie conditions in the one-room
schools. During the month of May
just past Miss Larson inspected As
