DIGEST OF FOOD CONTROL BILL

BY reason of the existence of a
state of war. Congress has enacted
and the President has approved a bill
to provide further for the national
security and defense, by encouraging
the production, conserving the sup
ply, and controlling the distribution
OF food products and fuel"
Scope of Food Bill Large
This act relates to foods, feeds,
fuel. including fuel oil and natural
gas. fertilizers and fertilizer ingred-
ents, tools. utensils, implemen
machinery and equipment required
for the actual production of food,
feeds, and fuel"
The President is authorized to use
such agencies or persons as he may
see fit TO carry out its provisions.
Price Assurance for Wheat
A minimum guarantee for wheat
of 81 bushel is assured for the 1918
crop. but this guarantee does not ap-
ply to the 1917 crop. In addition,
the President may, during the period
OF the war, determine what shall be
a suitable guarantee of the price of
wheat in order to stimulate produc-
ton. The import of this is that the
government would have to support
wheat at that price should an I'M
usually big world crop tend to force
1t down. This guarantees the farm
ar fair price for his wheat in the
race OF unforeseen price-depressing
emergencies. Authority is also given
the President to change tariff scbad-
ules on wheat should conditions
change and wheat start to pour into
the United States in response to the
attraction of the existing artificial
price.
Provisions Against Specializing and
HOardlng

tering into conspiracy for the pur-
pose OF interfering in certain enum-

deems the governm ent need Of such
plants has ended they may be re-
stored to their owners. Compensa-
ton. of course, is provided. In the
clause authorizing the President to
operate plants it is provided that he
may prescribe regulations governing
the employment, control, or compen-
sation of employees employed in such
plants, etc.
Distillation Banned
The liquor" section of the bill
forbids the use of foods, fruits, food
materials and feeds" for making dis
titled liquors except for non-beyerage
purposes and for the fertilization of
sweet wines. AS to beer and wine,
the President is given authority to
stop their manufacture if he deems
it essential to secure an adequate and
continuous supply of food. Stocks of
liquor already made, whether in
bond or in stock, may be command
eered by the President for redistilla-
ton if such action is necessary to
meet the requirements of the gov
eminent. These two latter provisions
are left entirely at the President S
discretion.
Prices of Coal to BE Fixed

is authorized to fix the price of coal
and coke. This applies to wherever

domestic or foreign; said authority
and power may be exercised by him

Trade Commission during the war or

judgment may be necessary"
IT, in the Presidents opinion, any
producer or dealer fails or neglects
to conform to such prices or regula-
ton, or to conduct his business eff
ficiently under such regulation and
control, the President is authorized
to requisition such plant or business
for the period of the war or such
part of that time as may be deemed
expedient.
Government May Buy Coal
In addition, the bill gives the
President the option. If he should
think that plan better, of forcing all
producers of coal and coke. either in
any special coal field or in the en-
tire country, to sell all their pro-
ducts to the United States or to some
agency which the President NAV des-
ignate, and then let the United
States or that agency distribute the
coal and coke
