OF FOODSTUFFS

Boston. Oct. eS.-George NJ Flint in
charge of the freight traffic commit
tee of the state food administration,
announced tonight that the admins
tration would take steps to put out
Of business commission merchants
who persist in holding consignments
in railroad yards while waiting for a
favorable market. "A certain class
of commission merchants" said Mr..
Flint, has evolved a scheme Of
gouging consumer retailer, wholesal-
err and railroads. They order carloads
of foodstuffs in expectation Of arise
in market price. If the price falls
while the consignments are enroute
the foodstuffs are held in the rail-
road yards as long as there are pros
poets for a more favorable market.
When this possibility ranishes the
dishonest merchant squirms out Of
his bargain by inventing the flimsy
excuse that the railroad was lax and
then rejects the consignments. They
must quit it or we will put them out

was not to appoint those who were to

TO delegate power to his appointees
sufficient to enable them to achieve
what had to be done and so objected.
In the end he was driven to do in
more awkward way that which
months before the Republicans
sought to give him effective machin-
cry to do. Thus the War Council of
Mr.. Baker passed into innocuous
desuetude, while Stettinius and Goe-

on the issue which the President
raises.
Nor is here any more real weight
in the Presidents plea that an cleo
ton of Republican Congress will
injure the cause of the country in
this war abroad as a vote of want OIL
confidence in h., prosecution of the
war.
lnvokes Faith Of Allies.
The intelligence which he says the
European peoples have. has enabled
them to see that an election of a Re-
publican Congress will mean a more
certain prosecution of this war to an
unconditional surrender than if the
President shall secure a House and
Senate who will only do his will and
second his desires.
The shiver which went through the
hearts Of the American people wher
the implied proposals of the Presi.
dents first note for negotiated
peace were so quickly accepted by
| Germany was shared by all the brave
but suffering peoples of our allies.
For reasons apparent to all, the rea,
expressions Of feeling in respect to
President Wilson's utterances in Eng
land and France are restrained. But
when the torrent of American public
opinion compelled a gradual return
toward a demand for unconditional
surrender the joy of our allies was
unrestrained. They know that a
verdict at the election for Republi-
can House will end forever the dan
gers which seemed to face a nego-
tiated peace.
Instead of obstructinS the Presi-
dent and our allies in winning this
war and a dictated peace, nothing
would SO discourage the Germans
and hearten our allies as the return
of a Republican Congress-.
