GREAT SACRIFICES MAY BE NECESSARY
TO MEET SITUATION, SAYS WHEELER

Harry A. Wheeler, food administrator for
Illinois, at conference at the Hotel Morrison,
Chicago on June 4, is reported to have said:
'FThe sacrifice of the last grain Of wheat and
last bit Of sugar may be necessary to meet the
situation confronting us. Days like these, when
the submarine is at our very doors, make us
realize the problem.
thousands of tons of sugar lie in our ware
houses in Cuban ports, paid for by our govern
ment Instead Of using the ships to bring them
here we must use every bottom to transport
men, munitions and supplies to the fighting
front.
"Our shipping program must be increased SIX
to ten times Immediately to meet the urgent
present needs. A serious food situation must
confront us during July, August and Septem-
Der. Are you with us in the necessary sacrl-
fice?''
Mr.. Wheeler explained the need for a con-
stantly varying food conservation program and
stated it did not mean weakness of policy, but
efficiency.
No one can tell from day to scarcely
from hour to hour-what changes may be neces-
STATED in furnishing food overseas He con-
'tinued, Il beg of you to hold yourselves in
readiness to carry out all Instructions. -

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS THREATEN
GENERAL STRIKE
Bill Introduced, Proposing Government
Control of Telegraph Lines

Washington press dispatches, Of June 4, IN
dicate that only intervention by the federal gov
eminent can prevent general strike OF oper-
ators employed by the Western Union and POSTAL
Telegraph companies.
This situation has arisen through the refusal
of the Western Union to submit to the Jurlsolc-
tion of the national war labor board.
Congressman Lunn of New York introduced
bill in the national House Of Representatives, on
June 4. empowering President Wilson to take
possession of all telegraph, telephone, cable and
radio systems.
Speaker Clark recognized the bill as a war
measure referring it to the military affairs COM
mittee. Lunn, who is a member OF the COM
mittee, has asked immediate action.
The Lunn bill provides that the companies
will be compensated on the basis OF their three
year pre-War basis, similar TO the arEAnseMeAC
with the railroads.
Explaining the bill, Congressman Lunn is re-
ported to have said:
'sThe wire systems of the nation should be
taken over by the government at once VI all
the governments engaged in this world war the
United States is the only one which lntrusts us
communication service to private parties. LII
it was essential for President Lincoln to take
over the telegraph lines during the civil war now
much more essential is it for President wilson
to take the same action in this critical period
'EWith spies operating as they are WITHIN the
United States, it is fool-hardy and dangerous
to allow private control Of this important func-
ton. With the enemy submarines at our very
doors we should pass the new legislation at the
earliest moment.
cat crucial time like this we find the Postal
Telegraph Company at San Francisco, according
to reports, locking out it's operators, In addl-
ton we find the Western Union refusing point
blank to be guided by the war labor board
represented by ex-President Taft and Frank t.
Walsh. "

HUN FOOD LAWS NO BAR ID RICH;
 POOR HELPLESS

NEW YORK.-Starvation would be the portion probably of the larger German cities did they not increase their scanty stores through "illegal trading, Deputy Won Herzburg-Lot- tum said in a food debate in the Prussian lower house, according to the Berlin Tageblatt.
 "The larger cities of Germany are obtaining one-quarter of their necessary stock of foodstuffs through illegal trading-without that they would starve," the deputy asserted.
 "The increasing severity of pen alities heighten the risk of indulg- ing in secret trading and raising prices," he continued" There are now 100000 persons employed in the war food administration and 1 that under the circumstances we deliver 30 eggs per year per person is really no heroic deed"
 Other speakers told of pitable conditions in Autsria- Hungary. Count Stolberg said:
 "I have seen now in Austria that the rich man has everything, the poor man nothing. It is pity to see how the poor people there are suffering from hunger. In compari- , son to conditions there, things in our country are much better"
 "In Budapest, in rich Hungary, the poor wait in line all night for the 30-gram fat ration, and then they don't receive it, Major Koch of Cassel, said.
 i The illegal or secret trading re- ; ferred to probably means that the German cities violate the law which fixes maximum price for food and prohibits consumers from paying more than that price. German off cials have attempted to stop such violations by some cities.

WAR PROHIBITION AMENDMENT NOT
 ACTEDON IN SENATE
Question Comes Up and Is Discussed Briefly Pen rose Expected to Press
 Point of Order

Washington, July 9.-Although national prohibition as a war measure was dis cussed briefly in the Senate today, the amendment to the sll ,e00.vo0 emergency agricultural appropriation bill, under which the manufacture and sale of all lntoxicants would be prohibited during the war, was not taken up.
 There were no indications tonight when corsideratio of the amendment would begin, as the agricultural measure may be replaced by the resolution authoriz- ing governmental control during the war of telegraph and telephone lines. When the amendment is reached Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania is expected to press a l.oint of order which he made today against it's inclusion in the bill on the ground that it is general legislation at tached to ar appropriation measure in violation of the rules
 The Senate today proceeded with con- sideration of other amendments to the emergency bip approved by the agricul- ture committee, but finally cut it's ses- sion short because committee members were not present to explain reasons for the provisions. Prohibition leaders charged slow progress was due to efforts os opponents of the prohibition section to delay action in the hope that the tele- graph control resolution could be brought before the Senate Opponents denied this

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, July 9.--The official eon- frmation of a reduced price fixed on cotton goods brought about $ quick de- cline this morning, which was praett- caliy recovered during the day on the lack of rain in Texas. 1t had been known last week in cotton circles that the price of cotton goods would be fixed on the basis as given this morning, and it will also be noticed that price, trough 20 to SC per cent lower than ruling quotations, is sub ject to change after October 1.
 It may or may not be the beginring of continuous price fixing for cotton goods. The first effect will probably be to deter the making of contracts tor goods by civilian buyers unless they are subject to this regulation by the government. Our market continues to show the absence of an% rernia nent desire to be short of cotton One. hears on every side that we are in critical period of the crop. therefore do not take any chances on the short side. There is evidently much larger outstanding short interest in July than estimated, judging from tti premium.
