The report was submitted in re-
sponse to a response to a resolution
asking the commission to furnish the
Senate with all figures and informa-
ton relative to profteering in order
that steps might be taken to remedy
present conditions. Outstanding fea-
lures of the report, 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 flour millers.
The trade tendency to insrease and
maintain prices against the forces of
conscription.
The report is based on cost finds for
the commission of war industries
board, the food administration, the fuel
administration, and other executive
departments, on industrial surveys, and
through enforcement of laws against
unfair methods Of competition. The
products investigated and which the
report covers are steel, copper, zinc,
nickel, sulphur, lumber, -four canned
milk and canned salmon. Salaries and
bonuses paid high officials were also
the subject of inquiries.
Price fixing by the government, the
report says, has tended to prevent the
market from running away, but at the
same time it strengthens the stronger
factors in industries in their position,
and enriches them by the profits
(which are without precedent"
While the price Of flour has heen
stabilized by fixing a price for wheat
and a maximum margin of profit for
-four, the report shows that profits
increased from an average of II per
cent. on the investment for the four
years ending June 80, 1916, to nearly
3S per cent. in the year ending June
80, 1917. These profits" it is said
'are indefensible, considering that ao
average profit of one mill for six

ONONDAGA SINKS
OFF WATCH HILL,
CREW is SAVED
Clyde Line Freighter, Bos-
ton Charleston, Loses
Way In Fog.

Watch Hill, R. l., June 29.-The
Clyde line freighter Onondaga, Boston
for Charleston and Jacksonville, lost
her way in a heavy fog off Watch Hill
last night, struck a reef and sank in
shallow water after her crew of 35
had been taken off. Lifesavers from
the Watch Hill station, responding to
a call for help, succeeded in taking all
hands to shore.
How the vessel happened to land on
the reef was not explained by naval
authorities, who obtained first reports
from the coast guard station. The
channel at the point where the ship
struck long has been regarded as dan
gerous in foggy weather.
Observers on shore reported this
morning that the Onondaga was not
entirely submerged, as her masts were
sticking out of the water.
After coming ashore Captain Goo
gins tried to communicate with agents
of the line. and it was Eaid here that
he and his men would be taken to
New London.
