dented profits taken BY slaughterers. tam

which there was no justification. are rev
sponsiple for the high prices Of shoes.
Congress was informed today by the
Federal Trade commission, which re-
Gently completed an inquiry into the
shoe business for the period from 1914
to 1918.
The commissions complete report was
not available. but President Wilson was
understood to have ordered a detailed
summary printed Immediately and trans
mitted TO Congress in connection with
efforts Of the government TO combat
high living costs. Representative 1Goc
(Democrat). Missouri. now has pending
in the House a resolution providing for
an inquiry into shoe prices by the COM
mission, but his efforts to got action on
it repeatedly have met with failure.
After reviewing profits in each section
Of tho shoe industry. the commission
said some relief from the "intolcrablc''
prices paid by consumers might be had
by rigid enforcement Of laws against
monopolistic control Of commodities;
legislation forbidding producers of hides
engaging In the tanning business and
adoption Of means to acquaint tho con-
sumner with the selling price of the man

Cases of Injustice.
"lnvcstigation of tn" work OF the fcd-

thousands OF war cripples have revealed
To the association IN" following start
ling instances OF injustice TO the dis
ablcd soldier:
"u) According to report OF the
federal board. under date of June q.
1919, only eleven men have been placed
in rc:nuncrativc employment after COM
rieting courses OF training. This would
indicate an alarmlnGly low figure con-
sidcring the number Of disabled soldiers
who have completed training courses.
"(o) Hundreds Of men have reported
that they were compelled 10 wait from
six weeks to six months without pay
and forced to depend on the help Of
friends or charity before their cases
were finally acted upon by the board.
Many Complaints.
"(3.) 4 number OF men have COM
planned that. in spite OF President VIII
sons order that physical examinations
be waived in the cases OF men certified
by tho federal board for civil service
jobs. the board refused to give the mon
tho required data and that consequently
they were unable to obtain the positions
under the civil service.

Laws TO make speculation IN the

Legislation liDitinS the margin OF

Another major development Of the day
was the making public Of the federal
trade commissions report on the shoe
industry investigation. This report
charged that the high price of shoes re-
suited from excessive profits taken by
every factor in the trade. The packers.
tanners, manufacturers and retailers all
shared in the blame. The report was
placed before Attorney General PalmeI
today.
The "hoarder" is the big part OF the
game right now. in the opinion OF the
government officials in charge Of the
efforts to bring down prices. and At
torney General Palmer indicated To-Day
that he was depending largely on the
section Of the Lever act dealing with
boarding as one Of the most immediate
means OF forcing prices down.
The price gouger can be reached in
another way" the attorney general said.
adding that there was not much differ
cnce between boarding and profiteering.
The attorney general today pointed
out that all OF the wartime laws gov
crning production and distribution of
foodstuffs were still IN force and that
they would be used to the fullest extent.
The conditions confronting the country
now he said. are properly classed as re-
sultinS from tho war and are a part OF
tho war conditions.
Tcstifying before the senate commit

trict Of Columbia. Thomas E. Wilson.
president OF Wilson & Company, and
chairman OF the institute OF American
meat packers. declared that the pack
ers were not profiteeIing. The high

was a world problem and not local.

are spending money like drunken sailors
without producing" he added

All Coal Traffic OFF.

HUNTINGTON. W. Va. Aug. s.,
All coal traffic was suspended on the
Chesapeake and Ohio this afternoon as
4 result OF the shipments strike. Al
the same time an order was issued from
division headquarters here proclaiming
an embargo on all classes Of freight.
Local freight trains have been annulled
and it was predicted traffic Of all de-
scriptions will halt before the end Of
the week unless there is an immediate
cessation Of the strike.
The Chesapeake and Ohio hauls an
average Of $500 cars or $4,000 tons Of
coal daily and the suspension OF ser
vice to the mines automatically will
stop production. throwing thousands Of
miners out Of work.
Local division officers said tonight
that as a result Of the strike but ten
percent Of the engines owned by the
company are in a condition allowing
their operation The suspension Of To-
cal freight service will allow the oper-
alton OF trains Thursday and possibly
Friday but officials give no hope for
passenger service after that date, unless
the strike ends.
Passenger trains were stopped IN the
local yards this afternoon where the
yardmastcr made temporary repairs and
inspection. High officials Of the d.
vision office have donned overalls and
have been doing repair work at the
shops.
The embargo on foodstuffs will not be
appreciably felt in Huntington for sew
eral days owing TO the fact that whole
sale grocers have large stocks on hand.
but towns adjacent to Huntington. and
in the coal fields dependent UPON Hunt
inston are expected to Suffer heavily.
Both the operating officials and the
striking shopmcn tonight are anxiously
awaiting word from Washington. The
officials said il would take at least a
week TO untangle the situation already
created by the enforced suspension Of
