especially with respect to profiteer-
ing. The committee appointed by the
conference. Director General Hines,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Leffingwell, and Chairman Colver, of
the federal trade commission, have
been engaged in an exchange of men,
oranda which will be put before the
conference for recommendation to
President Wilson, who is following all
steps closely.
Julius Barnes, director of the Unit
ed States Grain Corporation, will at
tend the meeting Tuesday and give
expert counsel to the Cabinet men,
bers and other officials on the grain
situation. Consideration of plan
to sell wheat in a free market, the
government absorbing me difference
between the market price and the
guaranteed price, is believed certain.
Eye on Profiteers.
There are indications that the At
torncy General is paying especial at
tention to cases of proftecring. He
has at his disposal great volume
of information collected by the federal
trade commission, showing production
costs in scores Of industries. While
there is no law by which profiteeering
may be punished directly, Mr.. Palmer
has said that there is great deal
of good law" on the statute books,
and it is believed he will find way
to punish any cases where there are
evidences of extortion.
The Average Man.
The average citizen is the man in
whose behalf the proGtccring invcst-
cation will be pushed, despite the fact
that it was the new demands of the
railroad labor unions which prccipi-
tatcd it. Several officials have cx-
pressed sympathy with the salaricd
man who lacks the backing of a pow
crful organization.
The cost Of living situation it was
learned today, will be one Of the chief
topics to be discussed at Tuesdays
Cabinet meeting. The question of re-
ducing living expenditures was
brought up at last weeks meeting,
but it is understood that President
Wilson and his advisers decided to
postpone efforts to rcara an agree
ment as to definite action pending
the obtaining of definite information.
Order for Strike Vote.

high prices and strike problem
that confronts the country de-
ponds greatly on President Will
son. There are over a hundred
million people in this country,
two-thirdS of whom are neither
profiteers nor labor agitators.
If Mr.. Wilson takes a firm stand
for the whole people he can bring
the country out Of its snarl. If
he caters to a class, he will ruin
himself and come very near ruin
ing the country. The emergency
that now faces Mr.. Wilson is
greater than that of Mexico, Ger

We shall see how he meets it.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK
Striking Shopmen are Attacking
Both People and Government

Which is the more important,
the government Of the United
States or the people of the United
States? No intelligent man viii
hesitate a second for an answer.
The people were not made for the
government The government is
a thing made for and by the peo-
ple-merely an instrument to pro-
tect their rights.
An attack on the government
is punishable by law, but it is not
so heinous on offense as an attack
on the people which cannot be
punished by law The govern
ment might be destroyed and the
people could make another; but,
if the people were destroyed, the
land would be a wilderness.
Railroad labor is making GER
tain demands and Director Gener-
al Hines proposes that congress
appoint a committee on questions
of wage increase. The official
representative Of labor objects to
a delay and says the attempt to
pass legislation for the creation
of such a board would result in
widespread strike, adding: "The
railways will be tied up SO tight
that they will never run again if
that legislation is passed. "
This statement ought to end the
discussion. There is nothing
more to be said. On a previous
occasion, railroad labor organiza-
tions demanded immediate action
Oh their claims and said that if it
were not forthcoming not a wheel
would turn-that the country
would be starved. Uncle Sam
then had an enemy in front OF him
as we'll as one behind him, and
surrendered. He has disposed of
the enemy in front and his answer
should now be "Do your worst. "
A few hundred thousand men
make demands and threaten to in
fict great distress on one hundred
million if their demands are not
conceded. Concede these de-
mands under this threat and the
few hundred thousand would be
in complete control Of the hun
dred million, and we do not be-
lieve the hundred million are III
the temper to submit. Concede
the demands, and when will the
next ones be made? The same
possibility will exist-will always
exist, Of inficting suffering on the
people-that exists now. The
question might well be settled
now, for it will come up again and
again, if those who represent the
people betray thep by submission
now.
, W. hold that an attack on the
people is infinitely worse than an
attack on the government but II
this case it is both. The rail
roads are still under control of
the government and, to that ex-
tent, an attack on the railroads is
an attack on the government. |
But the people are included in
this attack when the threat is
made to starve them into submits
sion, and the answer should be a |
prompt denial OF all the demands. !
