FLOUR HOARDERS
AND SUGAR HOGS
BANNED BY LAW

Hartford, Feb. 27-Flour must not
be sold and cannot be bought legally
after today in quantities greater than
24h pounds, according to an an
nouncement by Federal Food Admin
1strator Scoville. The new ruling SUI
percedes the former one that per-
mltted sales of SO pound sacks to
rural jewellers and 40 pound sacks to
city residents. Under the new rule an
equal amount, pound for pound, must
De purchased of wheat substitutes,
SUCH as corn flour, rice, hominy, bar
ley, oatmeal or buckwheat.
From the number of reports sent to
the food administration it is believed
that there are many hoapders Of
wheat flour in the state, as well as of
sugar. The food problem in the state,
in the opinion of the food admins
tration, is growing worse.
Wholesale merchants who have
met with Mr.. Scoville have agreed
that today's new ruling is necessary
and some are urging that It be made
more drastic. Mr.. Scovi11e is en-
powered to supervise the distribution
of all sugar received in the state.

CHEESE BOARD
SESSIONS FARCE

Chicago, Feb. T.-Details of cheese
making and selling and testimony
that the big packers really controlled
the cheese industry in Wisconsin
marked the opening today of the gov
eminent investigation into the pack
ing industry before the federal trade
commission.
Under questions by Francis ]. Heney,
special counsel for the commission,
operations of the Wisconsin cheese
market were presented. Henry Krum-
rey, a farmer and cheese maker of
Plymouth, Wis, now president and
general manager of the Wisconsin
Cheese Producers Federation, testi-
fed that it was generally conceded
that the big packers-Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Morris & Co., Cudahy &
Co., and Wilson & Co.-contrOlled the
marketing of rs per cent. of the cheese
made in Wisconsin. The witness said
Wisconsin made 60 per cent of all
cheese in the country.
Krumrey said the prices for Wis
cone,in cheese we're fixed by the Wis
consin Cheese Dealers association
which he characterized as the Cheese
combine"
The witness declared the sessions Of
the cheese board were largely farce

FIND BOMB IN
SFITPYARD PLANT

Newburgh, N. Y, Feb. 27.-An at
tempt to blow up machinery in the
plant of the Newburgh Shipyard Co.
here today was frustrated but only
after a guard had picked up a bomb
and hurled it out of danger. 1t ex-
ploded and did some damage, but not
enough to delay work at the plant.
The bomb was placed under com
pressor machine in one of the build
ings by a stranger who escaped after
clubbing the guard, William Hogan,
who discovered him near the machine
and demanded his workman's badge.
Hogan was dazed, but on recovering
from the blow started a search, which
resulted in his discovering the bomb.
The attempt to damage the machin-
cry was evidently intended to delay
construction work on ships for the
emergency fleet corporation, which is
about to begin.
