Bill to RehabiIitate
Persons Disabled in
Industry Passes House

By a vote Of isl to 125, the House
has passed the FesB vocational
rehabilitation bllI and sent Il to the
Senate. The upper branch passed q
similar bill in June and passage Of
the measure as adopted By the House
is anticipated.
The object OF the bill Is promotion
OF vocational training for disabled
persons in industry, including agTi-
culture, trade commerce, manufactuF-
/ ing, mining, transportation and the
mechanical arts, and their return %
civil life.
The act, in principle, is the same as
/ the Smith-Hughs8 act for vocational
education FOR normal people, in CO.
operation with the States, differing In
this particular from the Smith-SeaFs
act. In the Smith-Sears act the Fed
eraI Government Is charged with the
full responsibility and the entire cost,
but in this measure the cost Is to be
divided between the Federal Govern
ment and the States.
This % legislation to give to the
States Federal aid and cooperation In
rehabilitating persons injured In in
dustry. II is not compulsory, how
ever.
The military records show total
casualties to date to be 264.00O where
as there are AZ least $4,000 disabled
persons from industry In this country
at the present time, according to re-
ports from industries to State depart
ments Of labor and Industrial COM
missions. This number does not in
clude those who suffer disabilities
from street accidents, train accidents,
on farms, 1 nhomes and in sundry
places.
It is estimated the total number Of
disabled persons in this country at
any one time Is much larger from
civil life than from the military cas-
ualties IN Europe during the late
world war.
Congressman Fess, author OF the.
biil, points out that Federal legisla-
tiOn Is needed because the problem

The department has assigned to
take charge OF this investigation
Frank c. Daley, OF Indianapolis, who
has had the largest experience in
prosecuting election fraud cases OF
any prosecutor in the country. As the
United states district attorney for
indiana, he conducted eloction fraud
cases against the mayor OF Terre
Haute, the Judge Of the circuit court,
the sheriff and more than one hundred
others, including high city aEd coun-
~ ohicials, All were convicted and
sent 70 prison.
All % Same Party.
He also presented the election
fraud cases against the superinten-
dent OF police Of Indianapolis and
more than eighty others, inc 4ding a
number Of important officials o. city
ana county, and all were convicted.
All Of these defendants in both cases
belonged 20 the same political party
as Mr. Daley. The department found
him to be fair and Impartial and free
from political bias"
The Investigation, Palmer said,
would be conducted before i grand
jury Of the western district Of Niohi-
gan convened By District Judge ses-
sions who. Palmer said, has acquired
o Just reputation for great ability

The unBeating Of EeWberry and the
seating Of Ford in the Senate would

FOOD PROFITEERS
MAY BE INDICTED
Members Will Be Called Upon
Also to Act on Cases of Ac-
cused Liquor Dealers

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-The an
nounced crusade against food gou5-
ers by the government simultane-
Gus with the drawing of the Grand
Jury for the September term of the
United States Court will more than
likely result in that body being
called upon to indict accused hoard
ers and profiteers. 1t was said in the
United States District Attorneys Of
flee that the selection of the jury at
ton is being instituted was a CO.
incidence. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that the duties of the incom-
ing Grand Jury will be more i'm
portant than those of any similar
body in recent years.
One phase of their activities will
be the hearing of cases resulting
from roundups of liquor law viola
tors. Ernest Harvey, acting United
States District Attorney, in the az
sence of District Attorney Kane,
who is on his vacation, said that ds
the food investigation only started
Thursday he had not obtained any
evidence as yet upon which to pros
ecute food profteers. He further
stated that agents of the Depart
ment of Justice are at present buslly
engaged in investigating complaints
of violations of the government food
control bill. If this information
should develop into evidence %
profiteering and food boarding, MI.
Harvey said he most certainly
would present it to the Grand Jury
and ask for indictments of the ac-
cused.
Included in the lists of Grand
Jurors is the name of Charles
Sauers, who conducts a hotel and
bar at F'ortieth and Filbert street.;
Cyrus H. X. Curtis, magazine and
newspaper publisher; William L..
Austin, former president of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, and
Franklin n. Brewer, general man

also named in the list of twenty

Washington, Aug. 9.-The War
Department has made public a COM

The prices quoted are fob and

The price tables include the price
per can or individual units in each
case and also the price per case Or

in order that the public may arrive
at the price they will have to pay
by adding parcel post rates frorn
the nearest distributing point to the
home of the consumer to the fob

Municipal selling agencies will
compute freight charges on these
shipments to be added to the price
quoted by the War Department. On
the parcels post distribution no or
ders will be received direct by the
War Department, but only through
the Post Office Department which
will requisition the supplies by case
or larger package, the postmasterS
in turn breaking these shipments up
into unit packages.
Sales to municipalities at the new

BIZ Associated Press.

Paris, Aug. 9.-While the Su-
preme Council of the Peace Confer
ence held no stated meeting to-day,
the members of the council dis
cussed the Hungarian situation in
formally. The conversations among
the members bore more upon tho
question of Rumania's attitude than
upon the status of the new Hun
garian government as the former
phase of the situation is interesting
the conferees more than any other.
Dispatches Prom American relief
officers who have been cooperating
with British and Italian representa-
tives in Hungary report that Buda-
pest is quiet, but that all transport
, tation, including that on the
Danube, is being held up. AS this
involves great danger of famine, the
Allied officials have appealed for an
! effort to lift the embargo placed
| by the Rumanians on supplies d3
well as all other embargoes on food
transportation and distribution at

The members of the council also
had for their consideration a mes
sage from Archduke Joseph, head
of the new Hungarian government,
announcing the intention of his
regime to execute the terms of the
| armistice and asking recognition
and authorization to send delegates

Patsy Cline in Shape
For Fight With Leonard

Philadelphia, August 8. - For the
+ first time in more than a year Irish
Patsy Cline has reached the 136-pound
mark The shifty lightweight, who
meets Benny Leonard Is an important
session at the Phillies' Park on Mon
day night is at the poundage where
he gives his best.
Cline has been burning up the roads
in the vicinity OF the Meek" during
this burning weather and he has
trained himself down to fighting
ounces. When Cline came here for his
June 16 bout with Eddie Moy he re-
duced from 146 to 140 in four days.
On this trip he came here carrying
143. In ten days he has lost seven
pounds.
Both boys have agreed to scale un-
der 1913 pounds. Leonard never ad-
mits to more than 1876. It's a certain
ty, according to the agreement in this
battle, that he cannot scale more
than 1873.
Johnny Dundee and Joe yelling
will be another brace of stellar light
weights that will entertain. Well
ing. due to his good showing against
Lew Tender, will go in against Dun
dee an even money entry in the bet
ting.
The odds favor Charley White
against Harry Pierce, but Pierce is
the real dope wrecker and may con-
tinue to shatter the sure thing stuff.
Joe Benjamin. the Coast lad will be
present to make his debut and to
show AL Thompson that the boys from
the olden West know how to fight.
Eddie Morgan and Johnny Mealey
