SAYS RAILROADS ILLEGALLY HOLD PUBLIC LANDS Plumb Lays Charges of Corrup- tion Before House Commerce
 Committee. IMMENSE ISSUE OF
 STOCK AS BONUSES Chairman Esch Indicates That To Co Into Allegations Would Be
 Re-traversing Old
 Ground.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The rail- road brotherhoods, through their counsel, Glenn E. Plumb, today laid before the house interstate commerce committee their charges of corrup- tion in the arrangements of the rail- roads under private control. The charges, announced as forthcoming a week ago, were that many of the great railway systems had been plundered systematically by the fin ancial interests and that the railroads illegally held millions of acres of pub- lie lands.
 Eighteen representative railroads of the country, the brotherhood at torney asserted, issued stock aggre- gating $450,414,00O between 1900 and 1910 as bonuses and paid millions of dollars in dividends on these bonuses. These same railroads, he further charged, were "controlled in whole or in part by the Morgan interests, the Rockefeller interests and the Gould interests"
 Coupled with the charges which came just before the house committee closed it's hearings on organized la bor's bill for elimination of private capital from railroad ownership, was the demand of MT. Plumb that con- gress make a thorough investigation of the matter so that "the American people may know to what extent it is sought to subject them to exploita- tion," under the other plans proposed for future disposition of the rail- roads.
 Committee Unmoved.
 There was no intimation as to what course the committee might take in regard to the request for an investi- gation. Chairman Esch, in half a dozen questions, indicated that to go into the charges would be like travel ing over old ground, as they had been thrashed out long ago. Plumb told the committee that he either had the evidence to support every charge or knew where it could be obtained.
 A. B. Garreston, former head of the Order of Railway conductors, clos ing his statement begun Monday, de- clared with utmost frankness that if a vote were taken today, the country probably would reject organized la bor's plan. He explained, however, that this would be due to general sus- picion against new things, and he pre- dicted that it would be endorsed and adopted in the not distant future.

Concerted Attacks on H. C. l.. Bring Reduction on Many
 Articles.
SALE OF U. s. ARMY
 STORES CAUSES CUT
Supplies Being Taken Out of Cold Storage and SOld-Sugar at Twelve to Fourteen
 Cents.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Concerted at tacks by federal, state and municipal officials on the high cost of living resulted today in lower prices of many articles of producers to Chica- go consumers. It was the first def mite benefit to result from the at tacks on food profiteers and hoard CTS. With the decrease in whole sale and retail prices there came a substantial increase in receipts of various articles of food. It was said that producers were rushing ship ments to the Chicago market in fear of further reduction of prices in the near future and large quantities of supplies were being taken out of cold storage warehouses and offered for sale. Yesterday, the first sale of army canned goods at two depart ment stores resulted in the disposal saving of 80 per cent over the current retail price. To meet this competi- tion, there was general reduction of prices by retailers.
 Sugar Goes Lower.
 The prevailing retail price for su- gar was 12 and 13 cents a pound in a majority of stores after the federal food administration officials had de- clared that 12 cents was fair price. A few days ago, sugar sold as high as 16 cents a pound, potatoes today dropped $1 per 100 pounds in retail price and there was corresponding reduction in nearly all vegetables and fruits.
 The price of peaches tumbled after the receipt of 80 cars from Southern Illinois, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkan- sas and California.
 The United States bureau of mar kets today submitted to the district attorneys office a report showing that the amount of meats and dairy products in cold storage in Chicago and the. entire country August 1 was hand at the corresponding date last year.
 Storage Reports.
 In chicago, the reports show the following amounts of dairy product in storage:
 1919 1918 Butter -----31, ,424,118 17,793, GOA Eggs, cases 1,875,880 1,536,673 The report on meats and provis- ions held in storage in the United States is as follows: 1919 1918 Mutton, lbs. 7,273,2O1 2,359, 1859 Pork, frozen 153,894,042 94,332, ,361 Pork, Salted 38O,462,828 450,762, ,197 Pork pickled
 421, ,5O7,966 351, ,568, $40 Lard ------91, ,944,46 107, 7,160, ASA Federal officials expect to com plete their survey of food stored in Chicago within week when prosecu- tions will be begun against the firms and individuals charged with hoard- ing and profiteering.

ASKED TO HELP PROBE
 OF HIGH PRICES
Federal Trade Commission Out lines Nature of Investi-
 gatiOn.

Washington, Aug. 12.-An appib- priation of S500,000 for investigation of the increased cost of living by the federal trade commission was asked of congress today by Acting Chair man Murdock, of the commission in a letter to Speaker Gillett. Funds for the commission already authori- zed are insufficient to conduct the proposed inquiries, the letter said.
 Chairman Murdock, who also is a by Attorney General Palmer to sub init recommendations for reducing living costs, set forth in his letter that the commission proposed to con- duct further investigations as to the production, storage and distribution of foodstuffs with the aim of obtain ing figures on the real cost, wholesale and retail prices.
 So far as known, the president has not directed any additional investi- cations but bills now are pending in the house for inquiries into the sugar and shoe industries.
 The communication from the trade commission chairman reached the the house at the close of day dur ing which both branches of congress gave much attention to the cost of living problems. Appropriation of S175 ,OOO was asked for the secret ser vice by Secretary Glass, who asked that in authorizing the appropriation a clause be inserted to permit the use of the service operatives in run ming down food hoarders and profi- teers.
 Hoarding and profiteering were the subject of two measures presented in the house. A bill by representative Gard. democrat, Ohio, would provide $1O,O0O fine or five years improson- ment for hoarding profiteering ol monopolizing the production of food stuffs, fuel or clothing.
 Government Wasteful.
 Representative Keller, independent. republican, introduced Q bill to author. ize creation of a national board o1 conservation, headed by the presi- dent and composed of members of the cabinet, five senator's and five repre- sentatives, which would have mower tc regulate wholesale and retail prices of food and clothing.
 RReDreSentatlVe FeSS, repuDncan Ohio, discussing the high cost of liv- ing in the house. declared that govern ment wastefulness during the war and at present in continuing many war created apencies, largely was responsible for the existing situation Senator McKellar. democrat, Tenn essee appearing before the house agri- culture committee. predicted organi- zed opposition on the part of the pack inr industry to any legislation to re- gulate cold storage facilities.
 The cost of living question will be brough up agai ntomorrow on the floor of the senate with prepared ad. dresses bv Senator McKellar and Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri The two addresses probably will give rise to considerable debate

oped from Comrade Clubs already
in operation for the enlisted men.
Throughout TIE season Of 1918

Trained Women for
Reconstruction Aides
Arts. Crafts and Commercial
Subjects Taught to Wounded
Soldiers

YOUNG women who know how to
L instruct wounded doughboys in
the arts and crafts are needed by
the surgeon general for service in
army hospitals as reconstruction
aids. A call has been sent out from
Washington for more trained young
women to take part in this work.
"Occupational therapy" is the
technical term for the training that
these young women must have. Sim
plifed, it means teaching some occu-
patton which will keep minds and
hands busy and aid the men to get
back to normal health, or 1t may
mean teaching new kinds Of work to
those who cannot return to the jobs
they held before they were wounded.
Teachers in academic and CONNER
cial subjects are wanted as wei! as
instructors in the arts and craft.
Chiefs Of educational services in
army hospitals have requested the
aides to urge qualified women TO
volunteer for this work.
Blanks for application will be
available at army hospitals and at
the office Of the surgeon general.
