Federal Inquiry on
High Cost Is Coming
Expected to Open in Chicago Next Week No
Relief in Sight, Says President of Fruit a n d
Vegetable Shippers

Chicago, Feb. 2.--While a hunger dem
onstration was taking place in New York
today, and Chicago, like the rest of the
country, was facing higher prices for Ia
BILE necessities, it was announced that
the federal governments investigation
into the food problem will open in Chi
cago soon, probably next week.
T. p. Miller. president of the newly or
ganized Fruit and Vegetable, Shippers
Association. said today that no relief
was in sight and that only diminished
consumption could lower prices.
There are only $50 cars of potatoes in
the whole state of Colorado now" said
Mr.. Miller. There should be at this sea-
son 5000 cars. Idaho has only 1900 cars,
Oregon go and Washington 100, which is
about one-third to one-fifth of their nor
nal supply. And this supply is being
rapidly shipped out. We had 60 cars yes
terday, mostly from the West. and we
relayed most Of the 60 cars as far east
as Boston and as far south as Texas.

In agreeing to vote tomorrow the
House did not DEBATE the amendment.
but its mention stirred unusual interest
and was followed by many conferences
among the leaders on both sides
Chairman Moon of the postoffice com
mittee brought up the issue with mo-
ton that all Senate amendments to the
postoffice bill be disagreed to and the
measure sent to conference. A half dozen
members We're on their feet immedately
and SO vigorous was the objection that
Rep. Moon withdrew his proposal and the
House resumed the interrupted army bill
debate
Several hours later. after conferences
with Democratic Leader Kitchin and
others tho committee chairman pre-
scented an amended motion which was
adopted without objection, providing
that the House disagree to all but six
of the Senate amendments, and that
separate votes be taken on these to-
morrow. They are. besides the prohibit
ton amendment appropriations to keep
pneumatic mail service in certain cit
les; to give travelling allowances to
railway postal clerks to make minor
revisions in mail classifications: to in
crease the pay of postal employees.
Representative Moon will open the
fight on the prohibition amendment to-
morrow with a motion that the House
disagree to it. Representative Randall
of California. the only Prohibtonist
member will lead the opposition to
this motion and compromise pro
posal will be submitted, modifying the
amendment SO that it would apply only
to states which have themselves leg
islated TO bar liquor shipments. A long
and vigorous debate is expected before
q vote is taken.

potatoes are retailing at so cents

imported them from Ireland, Belgium.

The Presidents Purpose

Inauguration arrangements. already
much upset by the fact that March 4
rails on Sunday, may be further dis
arranged by the abandonment Of the
special session which in measure
would change entirely the methods and
ceremonies of inaugurating the Vice
President. The Presidents purpose. as
understood at the Capitol, is to avoid
a special session of the Senate unless
an extraordinary session Of the whole
congress is necessary at the same
time. The Senate called in special ses-
sion as is the custom to confirm ap-
pointments of cabinet members and
others would be powerless to legislate
to any purpose alone, but there would
be nothing to prevent the body from
remaining in session as long as it
pleased and discussing any subject it
chose. The understanding at the Cap
ltol today was that such a situation
was to be avoided if possible. Aband-
onment of the special session would do
away with the usual ceremony Of in
auguratins the Vice President in the
Senate chamber.
1t would eliminate exactly one-half
of the social ceremony Of Inaugural
ton day Vice President Marshall
pointed out today, that under the con
stitution he could take the oath Of Of
fee and file notice with the secretary
of the Senate any time before March
and then, if he chose, take another
oath at the formal ceremonies March
