Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-P rofiteering on a ire
nendous scale in practically all the
basic commodities of life was reported
To the Senate by the federal trade COM
mission as the result of an exhaustive
investigation. "Inordinate greed and
bare-faced fraud" as well as war
pressure for heavy production" the
commission reported as the causes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS of properties were
made by great concerns when it be-
came evident that the government was
about to fix prices on a basis of re-
turn on investment, the report says,
and salaries, allowances and expenses
were in many instances padded to
show increased costs OF conducting
business.
The outstanding feature of its In
yestigation, the commission reported.
was the evidence of tendency to in
crease 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 by the flour mill
ers stand foremost, despite the fixing
Of prices by the government.

caught hold of the edge of the boat.

'No. I'm all right"
The Scotsman pushed himself back
from the boat and fell into an easy
stroke. Nevertheless, there was power
in it, for he reached the Hannah be-
fore the rescued miner had been
helped to the deck.
A dozen passengers, crowded on the
lower deck, pushed forward eagerly
TO see. Among them was Selfridge, his
shirt and collar torn loose at the
neck and his immaculate checked suit
dusty and disheveled. He was wearing
a pair of up to date Oxford pumps.
Macdonald shook himself like New
foundland dog. He looked around
with sardonic amusement, a grin. on
his swollen and disfgured face.
"Quite a pleasant welcome home" he
said ironically, his cold eyes fixed on
a face that looked as if it might have
been kicked by a healthy mule. "Eh,
Trelawney?"
The Cornishman glared at him, and
turned away with low, savage oath.
"Are you hurt, Mr.. Macdonald?"
asked the captain.
Hurt! Not at all, captain. I cut
ing-just a scratch" was the ironic
answer.
There's been some dirty work going
on. I'll see the men are punished, sir"
Forget it, captain. I'll attend to
that little matter" His jaunty, almost
again. "Sorry you were too late for
the party, gentlemen-mOstO of you. /
see three or four of you who were
among those present. 1t was strict
ly exclusive affair. And now, If you
don't mind, I'll say good night"
He turned on his heel, went up the
stairway to the deck above and dis
appeared into his stateroom.
