coal, which Is made the subject Of spe-
cific legislation in the food bill.
The railroads will come under the
strong hand Of government regulation
under authority OF the priority law and
the pooling section Of the food bill.
Probably it will not be long before
wool, cotton and lumber are added to
the taples the government will take
over. The wooden ship program has
been hampered from the beginning by
the covetousness Of the lumber inter
ests and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to secure wool and cotton at
reasonable prices for the use Of the
American troops and the soldiers of
the allies.
Will the ordinary consumer be per.
mitted to purchase at the same prices
made for the government and the al
lies. After competition has been wiped
out and all the representatives in sin
gle industry have been permitted to
combine to make q price for Uncle
Sam and the warning allies, shall they
turn around and make it up on the
American people?
That is a detail Of the program still
to be worked out. 1t is understood
the President wishes uniform price
which will rotect the public. To this
there is bitter opposition, not openly
voiced, on the part Of certain business
interests which have been willing to
make favorable prices to the govern
ment, but have wished to compensate
themselves out of the profits made
from the allies and the domestic con-
sumer.
A new angle in the matter OF price
fixing has been added by the discovery
that state governments have large
powers-larger powers along certain
lines than the federal government. A
state, for instance, may take over its
coal mines and sell coal at the cost of
production and no one can question its
power to do so. This fact has been
brought out by the failure of the fed
eral government to get quick action.
Threats that some Of the states may
act along these lines Is speeding up the
federal program.
