WASHINGTON, April 22 The use

If congress, IL that body adopts an
amendment to the Espionage Bill
which was proposed yesterday by Sen
ttOr Cummins Of Iowa.
The movement to put stop TO this
waste of the grain resources CT the
ountry started in Kansas aud has
pread rapidly throughout the country.
Warnings have been issued by the
President and the secretary Of agri-
.ulture that grain acreage and the con.
Iition of the grain crops throughout
he country are far below normal and
hat it is necessary to conserve every
oushel Of grain.
When grain is urgently needed to
'eed not only this country but the ma,
ions of the Entente Allies, Senator
Jummins declared, it Is reckless waste
to use II for the manufacture Of liquor.
No Hold-Up Prices
Senator Cummins introduced an
pther important amendment which pro
sides that food and clothing must be
sold at reasonable prices and that deal
ms in such commodities shall not be
9ermitted to take advantage Of the
