FOOD SITUATION CLAIMS TIME
 IF WILSON
All Government Agencies Are Striving to Bring Relief From Vaulting Prices of Grub.
(By Review Leases Nire)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-The soar ing cost of foodstuffs throughout the country today engaged the attention of virtually every government agency problem. President Wilson and the cabinet discussed the situation from many angles, its cause and possible reme dies Views held by some of the con ferees were that the record prices were interwined with the general car shortage and congestion on transporta tion lines and indirectly affected by the German submarine warfare which has resulted in vast accumulations ol freight and resultant car congestion at eastern seaports.
 Department Of justice agents re- sumed with new energy their investi- gation of prices to determine if there is an actual shortage of foodstufs at large cities. where rioting has recent ly occurred. Attorney General Gre eory announced that measures which may be of considerable avail' toward bettering that situation probably would be enacted shortly. The inter state commerce commission through it's field force of investigators and of ficials here kept close watch on the railroads efforts to untangle the cars at congested points. and announced the transportation west of many trains composed chiefly of empties.
 The car service commission of the American Railway Association. the railroads supreme court in all Sub- jects affecting shortage and conges- ton disclaimed all responsibility on behalf of the roads for contributing to the rise through failure to furnish transportation facilities, and announc- ed that at no time had any complaint been received which would indicate that there was a shortage of food any where in the country.
 The newly created shipping board submitted to the President plan for relief by placing American vessels In the coast-to-coast trade, thus releasing freight cars required for transcon- tinental traffic. A large merchant marine. which could be used for this duty sailing by way of the Panama Canal would be available on the pass age by congress of amendments to the shipping bill now pending.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois today in troduced as an amendment ro the rev enue bill provision to authorize the President to seize foodstuffs deemed to be monoplized in violation of law. Foodstuffs so seized would be dis posed of at public sale under govern ment supervision.
