stated that she had every confidence in
the women of Florida and their ability
to accomplish everything they under

made in the last Liberty Loan drive.

said, After our women have given

CREED ON LARGE SCALE
Federal Trade Commission lnveS-
tigates War Profiteering.
Report to Senate Accuses Flour Mill
lers and Meat Packers OF
Excessive Charging.

Washington, July 2.-The federal
trade commission, as the result of
an exhaustive Investigation, reported
to the Senate that profiteering on a
tremendous scale in practically all
the basic commodities of life was
prevalent.
"Inordinate greed and bare-faced
fraud" as well as war pressure for
heavy production" the commission
reported as the causes.
Reappraisements Of properties were
made by the great concerns, when 1t
became evident that the government
was about to fix prices on basis of
return on investment, the report says,
and salssries, allowances and expenses
were In many instances padded to
show increased cost of conducting
business.
The outstanding feature OF its In
vestigalion. the commission reported
was the evidence of tendency to
increase and maintain prices against
the forces OF competition.
OF all the big profits disclosed by
the investigation. the report says, the
profits OF the meat packers and those
allied with them and of the -four mill
ers stand foremost, despite the fixing
OF prices by the government.
Manipulations of the market by the
five great packers-Armour, Swift
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-the com
mission asserts, embrace every device
that is useful to them without regard
to law.
The report charges that the five
concerns have monopolistic control o.
the meat industry and "are reaching
for like domination in other products.
During 1915, 1916 and 1917, the re
port says, these companies pocket
ed" $40, 100000.

Both the French and the British

commission investigation at Washing

the present Is not the time for any
one branch of governmental activity
to strike at the packing industry, as
it is trying to supply the American

rected attention to the prices of meat
to consumers and the prices paid for
live stock to indicate whether or not
the packers have been profiteering.

MAKE IT HOT FOR U-BOATS
U. s. Patrols Push Divers Farther
Out From Atlantic Coast.

Washington, July 2.-That German
submarines are, still lurking of the
American coast is indicated by recent
navy department messages.
These tend to show that operations
on wide circle, farther out than
the original attacks ON coastwise ves-
sells. Apparently the German inten-
tion still Is to make desperate try
for troopships.
The U-boats evidently are playing
a crafty waiting game. as no ships
have been bagged since the British
Dwinsk was torpedoed nearly two
weeks ago.
The reason for operations far out
from the coast Is the American patrol
was getting too hot on the trail. Navy
men say II Is part OF the submarine
strategy to move about keeping the
defenders guessing.
