INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS
ARISING FROM WAR.

Chicago, June 2o.-An intimate
picture of President Wilson's famil-
iarity with the industrial phases OF
Americas war preparations was Civ
en- yesterday by Edward n. Hurley
chairman of the shippaing board, in
an address before a meeting here
OF the Illinois manufactures Asso-
citation.
1--WE are applying manufacturing
principle to the shipbuilding busi-
ness and We find these methods sue
cessful,' Mr.. Hurley said. Incl
dentally, ii may be of interest for
you to know that the methods
adopted have been followed with
close interest by President Wilson.
81 think there is no impropriety
in telling you that the president is
handling all his work so systemat-
ically that he finds time to give a
part OF his time TO the more inti-
mate problems of the various de-
partments.
THE president knows more about

to be possible in the case of great
war executive. You know that con-
gress allotted the president an ap-
preparation OF 100000 for emerg-
ency war purposes. He personally
kept his accounts, and you may feel
confident that every dollar was care
fully expended under his direction.
The president has been stead
fast in his determination that there
shall be no prohteering in this war,
and / am willing TO stand sponsor
for the fact that he knows what
constitutes prohieering, and what,
on the other hand. constitutes a
margin of profit that enables the
manufacturer to expand his plant to
meet the nations needs in this
war;"

Washington, June 2o.-Investiga-
tons carefully conducted have LED
to the conclusion that prohteerine
exists among American industries
at the present time, due in part to
advantage being taken of war pres
sure for heavy production" and in
part to "inordinate greed and bare
face fraud" the Federal Trade Com
mission announced today in a re-
port sent to the senate.
The report was sent in response
to a resolution asking the commits
sion to furnish the senate with all
figures and information relative to
prohteering in order that steps
might be taken to remedy present
conditions.
Outstanding features of the re-
port, each supported by extensive
data, are:
The heavy profit made by the low
cost concern under a government
fixed price for the whole country.
The heavy profit made by the
meat packers and allied industries
and by the -four millers.
The trade tendency to increase
and maintain prices against forces
of competition.
Some Included Articles.
The report is based on findings by
the commission for the war indus
tries board, the food administration
the fuel administration and other
executive departments, on industrial
surveys and through enforcement of
laws against unfair methods of com
petition. The products investigated
and which the report covers are
steel, copper, zinc, nickel, sulphur,
lumber, -four, canned milk and cam
ned salmon. Salaries and bonus
paid higher officials also were the
subject of inquiry.
Price fixing by the government,
the report says, has tended to pre-
vent the market from running away,
but at the same time it strengthens
the stronger factors in industry in
their position and enriches them by
profits which are without prece-
dent"
While the price of -four has been
stabilized by fixing price for wheat
and a maximum margin of profit for
-four, the report shows that profits
from an average Of II per
cent on the investment for the four
