WAR FOOD BILL
Senate and House Members Fail to
Reach Conference Agreement.

Senate and House conferees upon
the food control bill are at logger
heads over whether Herbert C..
Hoover or a board of three shall ad-
minister the food supervision. The
House conferees are holding out for
Hoover. The Senate members say
they are committed to the board, one
member of which shall be a farmer.
The confer&es continued their la
bors for reconciliation again yes
terdav behind closed doors.
1t is hoped to reach an understand
ing before this evening.
Sentiment is said to be favorable
for:
Eliminating the Smoot amendment
directing the President to comman-
deer ali distilled spirits in bond, and
paying Tor them in the cost plus 10
per cent.
Allowing the President authority
to suspend manufacture Or limit al
cohol in beer and wine manufacture.
Striking OUT the Owen amendment
creating the committee or war en-
penditures.
Adopting the Pomcrene amend
mcnt authorizing the Federal Trade
Commission to fix ccal and coke
prices.
The Pomererc and s2-wheat sec
tions were discussed yesterday. House
conferees are said to be opposed to
this last-named section, holding that
the food control administration should
be allowed to fix the wheat
price in it's discretion and accord
ing to the conditions obtaining at
various times.
There may he some change sug-
gested by the conference committee
in some of TIE amendments. Sena-
tor Kenyon was appointed to confer
with Senators Newlands, Cummlns
and Pomcrcne. presumably on the
coal section. The three latter Sena-
tors are not members of the con-
ference committee, but are experts
on interstate commerce, and govern

According to a letter from the NaN=

the sale of seals for 1916 in the United
