Assisting Forces Already at
Work to Stop HOarding and
PrOfiteering.
EXPECT TANGIBLE RESULTS
Congress to Proceed Promptly in
Response to Wilson'S Request
for More Legislation on Prob
lem.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Tangible re-
suits from the investigation of hoard
ing and profiteering initiated by At
torney General Palmer are expected
to develop in the immediate future as
the result of an order today direct
ing the entire secret service of the
bureau Of investigation to assist the
forces now at work trying to uncover
instances in which the public has been
gouged by the illegal control OF
prices.
Officials of the department Of JUS
tice said reports from many sections
of the country showed the search for
evidence of extortion in the necessi-
ties of life was proceeding vigorously
and 1t was indicated that many pros.
ecutions might come very soon.
Announcement also was made to-
day that congress would proceed
promptly with legislative measures
recommended by President Wilson in
his address yesterday as necessary to
stop the vicious practices" which
have been largely responsible for the
rising cost of living.
Republican Leader Mondell stated
In the house that appropriations
would be made at once to enable the
government departments to attack
the problem, and Chairman Haugen
announced the agricultural commit
tee would begin hearings Monday on
legislation to control the time foods
coal, he held in cold storage.
The senate interstate commerce
committee discussed suggestions OF
the president that interstate ship
ments of necessities be controlled by
licensing system, and Chairman
Cummins announced that he would
appoint subcommittee Monday n
recommend such legislation as i,
should decide was necessary.
There were indications at the
White House that President Wilson
might let the high cost of living
share with the league OF nations in
the speaking tour which he soon is 10
make. The president has been devot-
ing virtually all of his time recently
to the economic situation and has
come to believe that the importance
OF the question demands discussion
equally with the big international
problem, to explain which was the
prime purpose of the tour.
