Supplies for Needy
Customs Employees

To assist in alleviating the suffering
of the families of customs employees
during the food crisis. many of whom
are in actual want because the gov
ernment pay is so small. Byron R.
Newton, Collector of the Port of New
York, telegraphed yesterday to E. c.
Morse. assistant director Of sales of
the War Department, requesting that a
supply of the War Departments sur
plus foodstuffs might be available for
the 4,500 customs employees of this
port. This food, if received, will be
distributed at cost through the Office
Of the Surveyor of Customs. In speak
ing Of the situation, Collector Newton
said:
"Among the 4,5oo United States GUS
toms employees in this port l know
many whose families are actually suf-
ferng for the want of sufficient food,
and l earnestly hope that my request
for this temporary aid will be granted.
Our government employees are suffering
from the excessive cost Of living more
kccnly than others, because in most
cases they are receiving the same pay
they received twenty years ago"

House Takes No Action;
Adjourns Until Tuesday
Resolution to Investigate the
Cost OF Farm Machinery Is
offered; Waiting on Wilson
Nctr York Tribune
TVnsLiNufO,l Tf,iyoou


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Anxiety of
the House to take some sort of dena-
tured recess prevented any action by
that body to-day toward reducing the
high cost of living.
Representative Igoe, Of Missouri,
twice tried to obtain adoption of his
resolution calling upon the Federal
Trade Board to investigate the cost Of
shoes. When he was refused, he in
turn defeated the attempts of Repub-
lican leaders to take three day recesses
for two weeks by raising a point Of
order.
The House then adjoured until Tues
day. Unless some obstreperous men,
Der is present and demands a quorum,
the House will continue to adjourn for
three days at a time for two weeks, or
until President Wilson sends up the
proposals for railroad and high cost
Of living legislation, which he sug
gested yesterday would be ready with
in a fortnight.
Representative Flood. of Virginia,
championed the farmer to-day by intro
ducing in the House a resolution call
ing for an inquiry into the cost of farm
said had scared beyond the relative
prices received by farmers for their
products.
Provisions of Resolution
The resolution provides that the
Federal Trade Commission shall in
quire into the increase in the price of
fertilizers and all classes of farm ma
chinery to ascertain the cause and
necessity for increase, to ascertain
the manufacturers cost price and SELL
TO;
and selling price, for the years 1918
and 1919, and report to the House at
the earliest convenient date, with q
view to having the House adopt proper
measures to reduce the cost of these
articles.
Representative Summers, of Texas,
introduced a bill authorizing the Sec
retary of Agriculture to establish a
farm produce exchange to afford a
medium for the systematic sale and
distribution of farm products.
Our only hope for reduced prices"
said Mr.. Summers, "is in the elimina-
tion of waste and the reduction of in
tervening profits. The problems of
distribution have shifted to us Of the
cities under the scramble of hungry
world for what is produced. There is
no use striking.
Wouldn't Kill Middleman
"Under my plan the middleman
would not be eliminated, and should
not be, but, producers and consumers
would be given a dependable and prac-
tical route around the middlemen
which would compel them to base their
total charges upon the economic value
of the service rendered, not upon their
power to levy contributions.
This machinery in operation would
throw back into production thousands
of individuals who have accumulated
along the channels of distribution.
