Under pressure Of recent exposures,
an embargo and a demand In earlier
editions that they be brought down
10 the level Of last years prices, po-
tatoes dropped to-day another 90
cents on the barrel. This makes a
total wholesale slump OF N.75 in

No retailer has any excuse now for
selling potatoes at eXorbltant prices.
All he has to do is back up a wagon
at Piers 2s or 90 OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad and cart off all he needs at
reduced wholesale prices. Tho po-
tato patriots are still far from selling
their products at the level Of last
years prices. with the product not

CONSUMPTION OF BUTTER AND

There never was such a duh day as

Third-There are still 49O carloads
lying in Meadows Yard, Jersey City,
containing approximately 10000 bar

approximately lS0 cars dumped on
this side yesterday, besides 200 bar

selling them in siX-pound bags at Is

Could any better proof be asked?
Even yesterday the potato crowd, in
the face OF an embargo, tried to lay
the blame on labor. They said they
could get rid OF the abnormal stock
on hand but for the abnormal de-
mands Of labUrers for more money.
Early in the season, when asked why
they trebled last years prices, the
answer was that they had to pay
labor more at the producing centres

made at consuming centres the crowd
sould easily have afforded 20 satisfy

"Slnce last Friday an embargo has
been in effect against potato ship
ments TO Piers 2S and % because there
was an accumulation OF more than
Ave days supply In loaded cars

ket faster than consignees were able
to dispose of them upon their delivery

IN FOOD BILL FIGHT
Sweeping Changes in Measure
by Sub-Committee-More
Supplies Included.

Especial From a Stan Correspondent of The
Evening WORLDLY
WASHINGTON. June 26Sweeping
changes in the House Food Control
BIZ were undertaken to-day in the
Senate subcommittee on Agriculture.
II voted to amend the measure so as
TO extend Government control 10 coal
iron and steel and their products, pc
troleum and its products. farm imple-
ments and slsal, Jute and hemp pro-
ducts
The sub committee also agreed
to amendments which provide
that tho bill shall not apply TO
farmers, gardeners and stock
raisers' products raised upon
their own land and shall not give
the food administration power to
impose individual ratiOns or reg
ulate their meals.
Action on the prohibition sections
was deferred, but II Is assured that
there will be bitter fight over this
feature OF the bill.
The most likely proposition At pres
ent IL a modified form OF prohibition
that would rigidly prevent future use
OF any foodstuff in manufacture OF
whskey. permitting the 25O,0OO,OOO
gallons OF booze now on hand to be
used for the sake OF the revenue to
be derived from II, and temporarily
allowing manufacture OF beers and
light wines. This would cut out fu-
ture manufacture OF hard stuff. letting
the topers have something to drink
until tho present supply is exhausted
This does not suit the highly elatcd
prohibitionists ana the Senate will
be n battle ground like the trenches
OF France for weeks TO come.

hope Of modifying the Food Bill so as
to permit the disposal Of spirituous

OF beer and wine manufacture Is
found in economic rather than moral
