PUT FOOD MEASURE
UP TO PRESIDENT

Washington, July 13-Democratic
leaders of the senate, finding it well
nigh impossible to reconcile conflict
ing views on the food control bill, de,
cided to appeal to President Wilson
to outline his opinion OF what compro-
misses should be agreed on to hasten
action on the measure
The senate agriculture committee
decided not to make any endorsement
or recommendation regarding the Gore
substitute bill Senator Gore. how
ever, plans to offer ii as an individual
proposition, with the understanding
that many of it's provisions will have
general support in lieu of those in the
pending bill
The Gore bill would limit govern
ment control to food and fuel alone,
eliminating steel, iron, copper, cotton
and many other products.
The prohibition question. IT was
agreed, probably will lave to be set
tied in conference without further
senate action, because OF the unani-
nous consent agreement under which
the senate acted last week.

STEEL is PLEDGED
At FEDERAL PRICE

gton, July 13.-Formal an
noun, ant was made by Secretary
Baker that an agreement has been
reached with representative of the
American steel industry in conference
here under which the entire product of
the country would -5e made available
for the governments war purpose at
price to be determined on the basis
of a cost of production inquiry being
conducted by the federal trade com
mission.
The government representatives as
sured the steel men that reasonable
profits would be included in the price
hxed and that provision also would
be made TO care Tor the expansion Of
the industry to meet new demands.
The government also assured the
steel men that its war orders would
be distributed over the entire iron and
steel producing capacity OF the coun-
try, leaving no single producer or
group of producers to carry an unfair
share of the war burden.

CORN PRICE FOR 1918
IS PLACED IN S1.2S

Chicago, July 13.-The grain gam
bier is out of job.
Action by the directors of the Chi
caeo board Of trade i'm fixing a mini.
mum price for all corn futures re
moves that grain from the realm of
speculation.
Only the distant oats futures are not
governed by restrictive prices and il
is conceded because of the sympathy
between oats and the other grains the
speculator will have no chance to
manipulate oat prices.
The boards mandate sets the maxi
mum price for December and all 1918
corn at sl2S a bushel
The maximum price OF September
corn already had been fixed at $l.G5.
Action by the board resulted from
the fact that despite favorable crop
reports and the reduced price OF wheat
the price OF corn continued to advance
until all previous records were broken

RECORD Low MARK
REACHED IN S|NKINCS

London, July 13.-As further proof
of the effectiveness of British meas
ures against U-boat warfare is the re-
port of the admiralty issued here
showing fourteen vessels of more than
1000 tons were sunk last week and
three under that tonnage were vic
Tins of mines or submarines. Seven
fishing vessels were lost.
With one exception the number of
merchantmen sunk is the lowest of
any week since the British inaugural
ed in March the system of giving out
weekly reports. The report OF March
IL showed seventeen merchantmen
sunk, the same total as is shown in
the last weeks summary.
The preceding report gave the sink
Ing of fifteen vessels of 1900 tons and
five under that size. In the two
earlier periods the totals were, re-
spectively. twenty-eight and thirty
two
This compares with the sinking OF
forty large merchantmen In one week
at the height of the campaign In
April In the week ended April I'll
fifty-five vessels in all were sunk.

BERLIN PAPER HINTS
AT REFORM REVOLT

Amsterdam July 13.-Germany'
radicals will force a peaceful revolu-
ton to achieve reform.
If they fail in their purpose now
they will repeat their efforts in more
unpleasant" measures.
This is the sensational declaration
in the Berlin Socialist organ, Vor
waerts, received here.
1t is regarded as significant of the
junkers' gradual reassumption of con
troll, but also a close cooperation be
tween those seeking reforms in Ger
many, which may break out at a later
date in such force as to bring real con
cessions.
Dispatches from Berlin vary in the
list of reported concessions which II
is said the autocratic leaders will
make. 1t Is certain, however, there
will be cabinet changes, but without
changing the junkers' complete domi
nation of all governmental policies.

PACKERS HIT BY EMBARGO
Had Big Contracts With Nentrais for
Meat Supplies.

Washington, July 13.-Chicago pack
ers are first to be hit by the new gov.
ernment embargo.
They have an infinity of contracts
for delivery of fresh and smoked
meats, lard and all the rest of the
stockyards products to Holland, Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark, and they
want to know how they are TO fulfill
these contracts in the face of notice
from England that all freight reserva-
tions for meat on English ships going
to these countries are Cancelled after
Aug. I.
The packers have told Secretary
Redtield there is a fcreit clause in the
contracts that means big money loss
to them in the event of their failure to
supply their products in the quantity
and within the time specified.

Washington, July 13 - President
Wilson has appealed to the country's
business interests 80 put aside every
selfish consideration and to give their
aid to the nation as freely as those
who go out to offer their lives on the
battle field
In statement addressed to the coal
operators and manufacturers he gave
assurances that just prices will be
paid by the government and the public
during the war. but warned that no at
tempt TO extort unusual profits will be
tolerated
Your patriotism" the appeal said,
lis Of the same self-denying stuff as
the patriotism of the men dead and
manned on the fields of France. or IL
is no patriotism at all Let us never
speak. then. of profits and patriotism
in the same sentence.
81 shall expect every man who is
not "A Stacker to be al my side through
out this great enterprise. In it no
man can win honor who thinks of him
self"
The president declared there must
be only one price for the government
and the public. He expressed conf
dence that business generally will be
found loyal to the last degree. and that
the problem Of war time prices which,
he declared, will mean victory or de-
feat" will be solved rightly through
patriotic cooperation.
In unmeasured terms, however. Mr..
Wilson condemned the ship owners of
the country for maintaining a sched-
ule of ocean freight rates which has
placed almost insuperable obstacles"
in the path of the government
THE fact is" he asserted, that
those who have fixed war freight rates
have taken the most effective means in
their power to defeat the armies en-
gagged against Germany"
