Votes $500, 900 for Expenses

Until Congress appropriates the $780,
900 asked, no move will be made by the
federal trade commission to begin the
food cost investigation ordered by Presi-
dent Wilson. The President has APP
proved the request for 100000, and the
commission has outlined an investiga-
ton to cost that sum and to cover a
period of from six to eight months.
The President has let it be known that
he will insist that the appropriation be
made before Congress adjourns. The
House appropriations committee failed to
include il in the suudry civil bill, but
when the bill reaches the House the pro-
vision will be offered as an amendment.
