Company says: United States army

six months OF 1917 are expected to
call for large quantities Of the metal.
The European allied nations will need

REPUBLICANS DECIDE
FOR INDIVIDUAL VOTES
Caucus Criticises Food Bill and
Then AdjOurns.

There will be no Republican party
program on the Administrator
food control bill. and eac hRepublican
member OF the House will vote in ac-
cordance with his individual judg.
ment. The Republican members held
a caucus last night and talked for
nearly three hours on the food cjn-
troll measure, tut reached no deci-
sion 70 oppose or support the bill as
a party. No motion OF any kind was
made, and the caucus was much like
general debate in the House, except
that the doors were closed and no
Conversational Record will contain
the speeches made.
The bill was criticised because Il be-
slows great powers upon the President
and his food administrator. Herbert c.
Hoover. but because these are war times
and the powers bestowed have been de-
clared necessary by the Administration,
the Republicans are willing to go along
with the Administration forces. There
will be attempts TO perfect the bill by
amendment. including an amendment
specifying more particularly what the
food administrator may and may not do.
but even II the bill Is not amended most
OF the Republicans are expected to vote
for IL on final passage.
Republicans will attempt especially
to amend the license section" OF the
bill which provides that whenever the
President deems II necessary to carry
out the purposes OF the act he may es-
tablish a license system for all per-
sons handling food and fuel except
the <armer and the small retailer.
D..
publicans believe this section is un-
constitutional, because IL confers leg
islative powers upon the Executive.
They assert that Congress and not the
President should say when a license
system is necessary ito carry out the
purposes OF this act" and that the
delegation OF such power Is invalid.

FIXING OF COAL PRICES
EPUT UP TO SENATORS
Cost Of Basic Metals Needed in
War Also Before Committee.

With protests against exorbitant
coal prices flooding Washington from
many States. and with many evidences
that Government officials are stirred
over high prices asked of the depart.
ments for the basic metals needed for
preparedness. the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce took cog.
nizance Of the situation today.
Signs are multiplying that Con,
gress will enact sweeping legislation
for the regulation OF prices Of coal
and metals and perhaps cover a wider
field.
The Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, which had before 1t the Pome
rene resolution to provide govern
ment regulation OF production, prices
and distribution OF coal, and also the
Cummins measure providing for the
regulation OF the prices OF supplies
needed for railroads, decided to be-
gin hearings at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning on prices of coal and basic
metals, including iron, steel. cope.
and lead.
Proposed legislation on fuel and
metals doubtless will be offered as an
amendment to the food control bill.
Senator Pomerene declared the
prices OF coal had reached an exorbi-
tant level II declared soft coal
seemed certain to reach IS a ton in
his State next winter.
There is every reason to believe
that the Administration is getting
more and more concerned over the
disposition OF coal dealers and oper-
ators, as wei las handlers of many
other kinds of materials needed in
war. to exact high prices from the
Government

Would Try Ambulance Corps Men
on Girls Complaint.

ALLENTOWN. Pa. June 22.-The

nineteen years old, respectively.
A conference will be held this af-
ternoon to decide whether the men
should be turned over to the civil
authorities or tried by court-martiaI.
Charles J. Allen. father Of one OF
the accused, is an attorney in Wash
ington, and is expected in Allentown
tonight to join in the defense OF his
son.
Mrs. Allen received news Of her
sons arrest from Mrs. Andrews, who
went to Allentown when the ambu-
lance company left here about two
weeks ago.
In her telegram to Mrs. Allen to-
day Mrs. Andrews said that the
stories told by the two young men
regarding the escapade differed ma
terially from the version given by
the girls.
Andrews is the son OF the late Prof
C. Z. Andrews, for many years a
teacher in the Corcoran School OF
Art and to whose memory a tablet
was recently unveiled at that insti-
tuition. Since the ambulance com
pany has been encamped at Allen
