 that stuff? To my knowledge the
 West Ends started the rough stuff when the Duwells' end man ran down the field to receive a forward pass, he was tackled before the full back had even thrown the ball. If you call that a square deal I don't As to the spectators, when the West Ends had the ball the crowd would move back, but when the DuweIs Aa0 the baN in their possession the crowd would stand right on top of them, making an end run or forward pass impossible. As to the score being thirty to nothing no such good luck. I think the West

Plan to Steady Prices
Geyernment Intervention in
Markets Suggested by Secre-
tary Redfeld.

Washington, Feb 7-Stabilization
Sof prices through government inter
vention in the basic commodity mar
kets as means of removing threaten
ed Industrial and business stagnation
with its attendant unemployment has
been recommended to President vii
son bysa conference Of cabinet officers
and industrial leaders who have made
an exhaustive study Of the situation.
In making this announcement to-
day, Secretary Redfeld, at whose in
stance the conference was called, said
tbs plan proposed to the president
was appointment Of a representative
scommittee to investigate production
costs in field and recommend prices
at which the government through its
MARQUIS departments would do its
purchaSing Producers, consum ers
and labor representatives would be
asked to cooperate in determining
the prices.
Secretary Redfeld said those at
tending the conference here this
week were convinced the determining
saf fair prices in the semi-official and
sco-operative manner proposed would
release latent consuming powers
now dormant because consumers are
awaiting price stabilization and thus
bring about an immediate increase in
:produetion in business lines.
Return to pre-war prices is not
contemplated, Mr. Redfeld said, nor
is at proposed to use the governments
war powers or to seek legislation from
congress. The whole plan depends
eItirely upon voluntary cooperation
81 all Interests involved, it was eX-
planned and the governments pur-
chasing power would be used only in
carrying out the prices agreed upon. |
