COAL Mine OPERATORS

Federal Trade Commission
Asked Congress to Estab-
ish Control of Prices

Washington, May 21-Deelaring that
coal mine operators are charging ex-
orbitant prices-often several hundred
times the cost of their production-the
federal trade commission today urged
congress to establish control by gov
ernmental agencies which may fix prie-

The commission declared that coal
operators have "doctored their books
vast discrepancies being found in the
actual prices at the mine and the re-
corded prices.
Regulation of coal distribution from
the mouth of the mine to the ultimate
consumer-with authority to allot guam
tites of coal to various classes of con-
sumers-was also urged.
There is and has been an "ample
productive capacity of coal in the
country, the commission declared. 9th
er than extortionate price fixing, the
commission blames failure of railroads
to furnish sufficient car space and di
version of eoastwise and lake shipping
to ocean traffic as prime factors in the
present unprecedented flight of coal
prices.
In addition to urging drastic govern
ment regulations, the commission sug
gested remedial action to improve trans

The first announcements of Bargain
Day to be held in Salem on Saturday
June 2, have created no little comment.

expressed their hearty approval of the
plan and it is hoped that before the

Salem will cooperate in making the
event the definite success that it has
proven in other cities.

The selling of goods at a low price
leaves little profit for the merchant,
but it opens the avenues to better ac-
Iquaintance with the buying public. The
man who has something to sell likes to
meet the man who wants to buy some
thing and the Bargain Day is the best
possible means to that end. There will
be rivalry, albeit good natured,
among the merchants, for the best and
most attractive bargains, and the
housewife may rest assured that she
will be able to stock the pantry, the

that many stocks will be reduced for
the occasion, in some eases the prices
going as low as so per cent of the real
value. The stores of the city will offer
low prices on all goods, and mean to
get acquainted with new people, and
some of the old ones, in that way, but

CONTROL OF FOOD
BILL WILL BE GIVEN
THE RIGHT OF WAY
Senator Gore to Rush Bib
Containing Only Most Vital
Features Of Plan
WILL STOP BOARDING
AS WELL AS "CORNERENGG'
Licensing Distributors One Of
Features---HOuse Wrestling
with Tax Bills
By Robert j. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Washington. May 2l.-Fixing wide
powers for Herbert Hoover, the coun-
try's war food administrator, was the
task before the senate today.
Spurred on by urgent word from the
White House that immediate action
should be taken to enable Hoover to
assume his stupendous task, administra.
tion leaders were prepared to give the
food control bill the right of way until
it is disposed of.
In order to accelerate action on the
measure, Senator Gore, Oklahoma, in
charge of the bill, will rush through only
the most vital features of the food leg
islation and those features upon which
the least objection will be raised. These
include:
Granting general war powers to the
president for carrying on the work of
stimulating, conserving and distribut-
ing food during the war
Some of the Features.
Providing the authority and an ap-
preparation for complete and detailed
survey of the whole food situation in
the United States.
Adopting measures prohibiting stor,
| ing of large quantities of food dur
ling the war.
Providing means or preventing con-
spiracies to hoard food stuffs during the
| war, designed to prevent cooperation
between American and Canadian, dis.
tributors, for instance, working to
"corner y necessities.
Licensing distributors of all kinds.
Providing that the government may
establish standards for flour milling,
ETC., if found necessary.
There are other powers asked by the
president which will pe passed on later.
1t is the urgent desire of the admins
tration, however, that this much legisla-
tlon be put through Immediately so that
Hoover can begin work.
Price Fixing to Come Later.
The question of fixing maximum and
minimum prices on lOudstuffs during
the war will await solution by the sen
ate, pending action by the house. Bit
ter opposition has arisen in both
branches of congress to granting this
particular duJuOIlty W bHC PlOnAoOhVj
and it was deemed inadvisable to en-
danger the whole bill by including in
the "immediate emergency" program
now before the senate.
The same situation arises about the
authority sought by the president to
prohibit the use of grains and food
stuffs in the manufacture of intoxi-
cants. This will be pressed by the ad-
ministration later, but for now-unless
the "drys" attempt to attach it to the
measure now pending.
"We will push our new prohibition
legislation whenever and wherever it
appears opportune, said Senator Shep-
pard, leader of the senate "drys' to-
day 81 cannot say whether the pres
ent bill will be the Up fortune time or
not as yet" !,
While the senate worked on the food
bill. the house continued its efforts to
iron out the $4,000, 100000 tax bill and
Representative Kitchin in charge of the
bill hoped 20 have the measure read
before the senate by Wednesday.
