Trade Board for Extension
of Government Power
Over Necessities
Sees Public Advantage
Members Also Urge Federal
Control in Distribution of
Raw and Finished Products

U4SHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Extension
,tbe governments priee-fxinC power
- ,.hcr products than food and fuel,
.-d espccially 20 iron and steel, is be
r,ved necessary by the Federal Trade
commission in the light of experience
eaiped in investigating economic con-
5;.ons since the United States entered
hs war. Recommendation that tenn
,or,-v administrative body be estab-
rsbed 70 determine reasonable prices
for prime necessities. and also 70 regu-
late ,ho distribution Of raw materials
and f1ishod products, was mace IN the
commissions annual report, submitted
to-day 20 Congress.
Need for Price Fixing
REGARDING the necessity for govern
mental price fixing, the report says:
"The experience Of this government
En- the question OF fixing prices is ore
hat has been carefully followed by the
commission. which has furnished OK
rcrsive data for this purpose to the
fucl administration and 10 the War
Industries Board. The commission has
$50 had under consideration the eX-
rerience Of other countries in this
matter. and particularly England and
her colonies, France and other allies.
n is convinced that price fixing by au-
.hority of law will have to be extended
n other products than food and fuel.
and that such authority is preferably
exercised by a temporary administra-
tive body. IN particular it is of the
opinion that such priee-fXing power
should be established and exercised
with respect 90 the iron and steel in
dustry. Tor which a bill has already
been introduced IN the Senate.
Nav Regulate Distribution
Equally important, in its opinion.
with the fiXing of reasonable prices is
,he regulation Of the distribution Of
The raw materials and intermediate
products in the industry affected and
of the distribution Of the final prod
ucts 20 the consumer. In this con-
-eclion also should be considered the
question whether bona fGe contracts
made prior 70 the passage of a price
fixing law should be allowed 20 be en-
forced. This commission is Of the
opiniou that tho exact merits OF the
proposition might differ somewhat in
different industries. With respect to
the iron and steel industry, however,
i believes that the greatest public
advantage would BE- attained by not
allowing such contracts to be fulfilled,
Al least over long periods Of time. In
the case of coal, il is the opinion Of
.he comm ssion that the continued full
ilment Of long-term bona fde con-
tracts Of sale made prior to the enact
ment Of the law would initiate against
rhe most successful operation of price
lyinc by the government"

Men of Science
Enlisted in War
Work, Says Lane
Experts Of Peace Times
Now Auxiliaries in Strife,
Report Reveals
Great Builders atWork
Men Who Have Conquered
Mountains of Great West
Now in Uniform

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-lhe great
mart that the men Of scientific knowl-
edge in the Department Of the In
terror are taking in war-making was
revealed to-day in the annual report
Of Secretary Franklin X. Lane.
Chemists, mctallurgists. engineers
and topographers have been enlisted
from the various bureaus Of the De-
partment OF the Interior to do some
thing to hasten the day Of peace.
The Reclamation Service on a million
and a quarter acres Of irrigated land
and the Indians on 100 reservations
have been enlisted in the drive for
more wheat and grain. New devices
10 end the submarine or limit its De
structiveness, plans for unused deadly
weapons and formula for unknown
sources of power have been sought at
tho Patent Office.
The scientists of peace in the de-
partment have become auXiliaries IN
the Great War. An Alaskan geologist,
more at home beyond the Arctic Cir
Gle and in the Bering ice fields, is to-
day laying out the trenches in France
so that the surrounding country Will
not drain into them.
Resources Not Developed
Topographers who have plotted the
rivers and mountains of the Far West
and engineers who have been engaged
in such feats as the building OF the
great dams upon the Rio Grande and
the Colorado rivers are directing the
mixing of concrete for the trenches in
France, and the chemists from the Blu
reau OF Mines have improved upon the
gas masks used by the soldiers.
Secretary Lane, in his reports, states
that the United States does not know
or has not developed its full resources.
zone illustration will make this clear
he says. We have great use for sui
phuric acid. and our sulphur mines
have not developed full supply. Ger
tain of our industries depend largely
on the sulphur roasted out of pyrite
ore that comes from Spain
But shipments were limited just
when IL became known that pyrite was
70 be found from Northern Georgia to
Central Alabama. Five mines, yielding
900 tons a day, are now in operation.
Secretary Lane sounds warning 70
Congress. "Modern industrialism," he
says, may be epitomized as power plus
iron. We lack neither. 1t is the un-
precedented and not TO be anticipated
burden Of providing not only for our
selves, but for nearly all Of Western
Europe and part of Asia and Russia
which makes this demand. For our own
needs we have coal and iron and nearly
all the rich lines of less common min
erals in abundance.
Water and Petroleum
"Of one thing. however, we may be
sure, that a nation intent upon its own
self-suficiency will not be holding
under what is tantamount TO govern
ment withdrawal the two newest
sources of power-substitutes for that
coal which costs the labor of q million
men and is the greatest of the burdens
of our railroads-water power and
petroleum.
at may be expected that Congress
1T this session will release these re-
sources by passing the leasing bills so
long pending in both Houses"

An order was placed by the govern

blades. AS soon as they are delivered
10 the government they are TO be for
warded 20 the soldiers doing duty in
the trenches. Usually the first thought
of the soldiers, when relieved from
front line trenches, is to get cigar

w. C. T. u. REPORT.

The hospitable home Of Mr..
and Mrs. P. @. Callaghan was
thrown open to the White Rib
boners last Friday evening, Oc-
tober 10, who gathered to listen
Ito the reports Of the recent state
convention held at Minneapolis.
The President opened the
meeting with devotionals taking
for her topic "God Our Power. Z
The devotionals were followed
by a beautiful and appropriate
selection of sacred music rem
dered by the Chapman young
people.
Mrs. Horr, the delegate-at-
large to the convention, gave the
principal report which was much
enjoyed by those present.
Owing to war conditions and
for the purposes Of conserva-
tion, many of the extra features
of the usual convention were
eliminated from the program
and it resolved itself into a
strictly business affair, but not
withstanding this fact every ses-
sion was intensely interesting.
The State Presidents address
always a main feature Of the
convention, was of unusual in
terest. She noted the progress
of our work during the past
| twelve years that had elapsed
since we gathered in Minneap-
oils for our last annual gather
ing there. At that time we had
only three prohibition states and
we had almost ceased to think
lof a state winning state wide
prohibition for sixteen years
had elapsed and not another
state had come in but three
years after our meeting at Min
neapolis a temperance wave
swept over our southland and
state after state came into the
| dry column until now we have
Itwenty-six dry states besides
Alaska, Porto Rico and the Dis
Itrict of Columbia.

were coming to us day by day
and we had almost reached our
goal national prohibition we
were confronted with war but
