HOUSE PASSES
APPROPRIATION
FOR FOOD PROBE
New York Congressman Says
There Is Less Suffering in
City Than in Any Previous
Winter for Years,
ls> MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,ssI

Washington, Feb. 24.--An amend
rnent to the sundry civil bill appropri-
ating 100000 for an investigation by
the federal trade commission of the
| high cost of food, passed the house to-
night SO to 81.
The investigation was ordered by
President Wilson, who directed that
particular attention he given to
charges of combinations to control
food prices. The department of ag-
riculture was asked to assist Facts
developed in an investigation started
by the department of justice will be
turned over to the trade commission,
Six Months to DO Work.
The4trGde commission has outlined
an investigation to last six months and
go into every detail of food production
and distribution. If the appropria-
ton is approved by the senate the
commission will start Immediately on
the inquiry, taking up first the pack
ing industry, Most of the countrys
packers already have wired TO the
commission that they will cooperate
fully in any investigation the commits
sion makes
The agricultural department has
pursued a food investigation for
months, but lack of inquisitorial pow
ers has handicapped 1t. The depart
ment of Justices investigation has
been confined to law violations The
trade commission has power to take
up all phases, legal and economic.
Precipitates Sharp Debate.
The appropriation was not included
in the civil sundry bill as framed by
the appropriation committee. and its
introduction as an amendment by
Representative Borland of Missouri,
debate on the general
food situation. Representative Fitz-.
gerald of New York, chairman of the
appropriations committee, fought the
on the floor.
Representative Bennett of New
York told the house that there is less
suffering in New York City this year
than at any time in the winter during
the past fifteen years" He said there
had been what was called food riots
but that they were largely the result
of agitation.

Washington, Feb. 25.--One of the
most spectacular filibusters the CAPT
tol has seen in years kept the senate
IN session until midnight tonight, and
was broken down only when republi-
can leaders directing it secured a
pledge from the democrats that the
administration revenue bill would not
be urged to a vote until Wednesday.
The democrats, facing what they
declared was a republican attempt to
break down the administration pro.
gram and force an extra session of
congress after March 4, threatened to
keep the senate in continuous session
over Sunday, If that were found nec-
essary to secure passage of the reVe.
nue. measure.
The debate went far afield from
revenues and hot exchanges between
democrats and republicans led into d
dramatic discussion of the interna-
tional situation and of President Will
sons policy in the submarine crisis.
would Not Embarrass Country.
Late at night leaders on the repub-
lican side let it be known that they
did not favor carrying the fight to the
extent of embarrassing the country by
killing the revenue bill and thus
weakening its preparation for de-
fense.
After two or three peace proposals
had been rejected by the democrats,
the republican leaders submitted a
Proposition for q vote Wednesday
night at o'clock on condition that
in the meantime appropriation bills
may be brought up by unanimous con-
sent. The democrats accepted, be-
lieving this arrangement gave them
chance to save enough of their legis-
lative program to avert an extra ses-
sion.
There was no understanding, how
ever, as to what the republicans might

measure in case some of them should
hold to their determination to force
an extra session in order to have con-
gress in session for developments in
the European emergency.
Extra Session Possible.
Several senator's pointed out that a
vote on the revenue bill Wednesday
would not mean that an extra session
necessarily would be avoided Aside
from other legislation. three of the
most important supply bills, the navy,
army and sundry civil, carrying alto
sether close to a billion dollars, have
not been taken up in the senate
There is certain to be some discussion
by senator's with pacifist tendencies
of both the navy and army bills.
When. just before midnight Sena-
tor Simmons submitted the proposed
agreement to the senate for ratifica-
1on. every senator was on his feet,
Senator Ashurst declared he would
object unless assurances were given
for consideration of the conference re-
port on the Indian appropriation bill,
and 1t was agreed to give an hour to
this report Monday.
PenrOse Emphatic.
When other senator's. including
Shafroth. urging the Porto Rican con-
ference report began to plead for
pet measures, Senator Penrose rose
and declared:
This has gone far enough II there
is to be any further wording of this
agreement, objections will come from
the minority. The minority already
has sacrificed enough. I will say fur
ther to the senators from Colorado
and Arizona that neither of their bills
Will pass this session of congress-
The objections were withdrawn and
at 1915 the senate adopted the agree.
ment by unanimous consent and re-
cessed.
