TOO BUSY WITH WAR
President Has Power to Take Over

Time.

IBy L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-1n seek
ing a way to relieve the American
people from the high cost of living,
congress has practically abandoned
the idea of putting the meat packing
business under government control
while the war lasts.
Many congressional students Of
living costs agree that to add this
enterprise to the multitude of huge
new tasks Uncle Sam has under
taken might defeat the very purpose
they have in mind. While they have
somewhat reluctantly accepted this
view, they have not and will not re-
linquish their adherance to the prin-
ciple of government control of stock
yards and packing houses as a nee
esary part of the permanent solution
of the high cost of living problem
here.
It is deemed unlikely that Presi-
dent Wilson will recommend a cam
paign for government control OF
either stockyards or packing houses
now, as a result of his study OF the
federal trade commissions recon-
mendations. The president already
has the power to take over either
the stockyards or the packing
houses, or both, in a war emergency
if this becomes necessary.

confidence that they would give the
Americans "the right answer at the

"You have come to fight our battles,

are before you. The Americans have
promised France that they would give
her Alsace-Lorraine, which France
alone cannot conquer.
The Americans also wish to add
big deeds to their big words. With

PINE BLUFF LABOR
 BEHIND w.s.s. SALES
Campaign to Stimulate Sales Will be Inaugurated at Meeting of
 Trades Council Tonight

Organized labor of Pine Bluff will tonight launch a campaign to stlmu- late the sales of war savings stamps, especially among union men and their families. The campaign will be start ed at meeting of the Central Trades and Labor council by T. A. Wilson, president of the Arkansas Federation of Labor; L. H. Moore, secretary of the Arkansas Federation of Labor, and Ben Brickhouse, state labor commiss- toner, who are coming to Pine Bluff for that purpose.
 w. M. Myers, president of the local trades council, and other officials of that organization already have made arrangement for big representation of labor unions at the meeting, and it lis expected that the campaign will be inaugurated under circumstances presaging for it the same success that has attended other natriotic and social welfare campaigns of labor.
 Several of the unions already have discussed and approved the plan, and will name committees to canvass mem bers of their organizations, as we'll as others, in the w. s. s. sales cam |paign
