Federal Reserve Heads to
Confer With Leaders of
Fight Against Measure
McAdoo to I AXE Hand
Attempts to Make Radical
Amendment May Be
Abandoned

WASHINGTON, March 4-Opposi
tion to the Administration bill for {
war finance corporation resulted to
day in suspension of debate in the
Senate until tomorrow, to permit con.
terences between Governor Harding
and NiccGovernor Warburg, Of the
Federal Reserve Board, with Banking
Committee members and other Sena-
tors who have led the fight on certain
sections of the bill.
Tomorrow Secretary McAdoo at the
request Of Senator Owen. chairman OF
the Banking Committee, will meet with
the opposing faction. There were indi-
cations tonight that attempts to make
radical amendments in the bill as it
now stands would be abandoned.
The provisions authorizing the cor
porations directors to issue $4,OO0,OOO,-
900 in bonds to aid the financing OF
war industry, as we'll as those for H.
censing of security issues by a capital
issues mmittee, were the principal
points of objection urged to day in the
Senate Banking Committees confer
cnccS.
Present Method Favored
Opponents of the measure advanced
the argument that many of the func-
tions proposed for the CORPORATION
could be performed better by the Fed
eral Reserve Board, and securities IL
censlng continued by the existing vol
untary committee.
Support for the plan proposed in the
bill is understood to have been given
both by Mr.. Warburg and Mr.. Harding
and Secretary McAdoo is expected to
insist upon it Tomorrow
Some of the committee members said
tonight 1T was probable no changes
vltally dlsarrangng the present draft
Of the bill would be urged. Senator
Owen, however, is expected to press his
amendment limiting the interest rate
on the proposed bond issue TO per
cent, and Senator Eollis, of New Hamp-
shire, another Democrat of the commit
tee, has an amendment to limit the
corporations fund to its $5O0,O00 900 of
capital.
Harmony Is Assured
In discussing the measure to-day the
Reserve Board officers are said to have
pointed out that it specifically pre-
scribes that the Secretary of the Treas
ury and two members of the Reserve
Board shall constitute ma jority of the
directorate, giving them
control and insuring harmony in the
corporations operations both with the
Treasury Department and the board.
Should insistent opposition be made
against legal establishment of the pro-
posed capital issues committee, some
Administration leaders in the Senate
tonight said they might agree to elimi-
nation of the clause and leave the pres
ent voluntary committee undisturbed.

Prices of Vegetables
Tumble 40 Per Cent
Decrease in Egg Prices At

Generally

The breaking Of the railroad tie-up
which released SO many eggs for New
York last week that the wholesale price
dropped from 65 to SO cents dozen
has also given New York plenty of
cheap vegetables, according to P. @
Foy, market expert
Cabbages, which the food board
quotes to-day at 4i4 cents a pound
retail, are now only S25 to $50 a ton,
he said few days ago they were from
$50 to $40 ton.
has dropped 30 to 40 per cent, the
present price being from S1.75 to 81
hundred dwcight. Retailers, Mr.. Foy
thought, should be selling potatoes at
to 3 cents q pound and cabbage at
y to cents.
Nearly $4,000 cases of fresh eggs
came to New York yesterday, and the
wholesale price fell another cent-to
3537 cents a dozen, the retail price
being 40-42 cents.
The low prices. it was pointed out,
have created large demand for eggs,
and Mr.. Foy predicted further drop
to-day.
But eggs must stay cheap for a

are laying and the farmers must ship
the eggs. They can't store them at
this time of year. And, after all, the
present price Of eggs is not very low
IN comparison to pre-war prices"
He pointed out that eggs are much
cheaper than meat. One dozen eggs, he
said, weigh pound and a half
Yesterdays large receipts of eggs, it
was stated by market men, added little
to the losses of spectators. What
caused the loss last week was the fact
that eggs bought on sight draft at high
prices weeks before, were coming into
the city after prices had fallen. Most
of the eggs being received now were
