street side of the District Building.
Detective Sergeant Scrivener. one of
the officers in charge Of the case.
rushed after Randall and seized him
just as he was making a final attempt
to gain the street.
A brisk tussle ensued until two de-
tectives could make their way to the
scene and subdue the prisoner.
Detective Sergeant Guy BurIingame
last night said that Randall sent for
an uncle in Berwyn to come to head
quarters and testify that he was at
the latter's home on the night OF the
assault upon Miss Saunders.
The uncle. when questioned. con-
fessed he had not seen his nephew
for more than three weeks, and then

Two young soldiers. one minus an

Senator Ball Promises Quiz
Next Week on Living
Costs.
ASKS CITIZENS TO HELP
Instances Of Pro6teering
Should Be Brought to
/ Committee.

The inquisitors into the high cost
OF living in the District will hold
their first session Monday.
Senator L. Heisler Ball, chairman
OF the Senate Subcommittee to in
vestigate the prices OF commodities,
including rent. in the District OF
Columbia. stated to a Herald re-
porter last night that he would call
the initial meeting Of the inquiry
committee Monday afternoon at 2
O'Clock in the rooms of the Senate
Committee on the District.
He requests that all associations
and individuals having information
bearing upon the alleged excessive
prices for foodstur. raiment and
rent. or knowledge of any combina-
tion formed to boost prices, get into
communication with him or other
members OF the subcommittee be-
tween this time and Monday after
noon.
Members of the subcommittee are
Senators L. II. Ball. chairman
Arthur Capper. Davis EIkins. Morris
Sheppard and Nathaniel B. Dial.
Chairman Ball. in discussing the in
QUESTION and its scope. said while
expert assistants probably will be en-
rloyed, and information procured from
the government records bearing on
comparative prices of the commodi-
ties. the committee will depend to
considerable extent upon informa-
tion from citizens OF the District who
have been the victims OF profteering.
Senator Ball will hold several con-
ferences today with citizens who will
offer suggestions that may be of value
in connection with the investigation.
1t is the expectation that the in.
vestigation. once started. will cover
wider range than was at first an
ticipated. An important element Il
expected to be the employees of the
FEDERAL government. who are declared
to be the real sufferers by reason
OF the high cost OF living and the
meaGerness OF their salaries. Sen.
ator Ball invites this class of citi-
zens TO send in any complaints they
may have to make. and to give tes-
timony. If necessary. before the sub
committee.

CLERKS PENSION
BILL REPORTED

Optimistic as to eventual action by
Congress on the Civil Service retire.
ment bill for government employees.
Chairman Lehlbach yesterday after
noon presented to the House a favor
able report on the measure and urged
the passage OF the bill.
In his report Representative LehI-
bach points out what has been termed
IAN unauthorized pension system -
which pays large sums, ostensibly as
salaries. to wornout Federal employees.
when. as a matter OF fact. the money
so paid is a pension or gratuity to
faithful servants who are incapaci-
tated by continued illness or old age.
He also argues that the passage of
the Lehlbach bill will spell additional
efficiency in the government service
and will mean a great saving of
money to the government instead Of
being an added expense.
1t is stated in the report that OF
the approximately 10000 employees in
the classified Civil Service. $500 would
be retired Immediately after the bill
is passed. and that 100 would be re-
tired each year for the next Ave
years. Chairman Lehlbach estimates
that the annuity for the first year
will be se1o which will be increased
gradually each year until 1t reaches
$500.

As 1t will be brought before Con-
gress tomorrow. the bill will carry the
Good amendment, providing that en-

The bill calls for a minimum wage
of H,0S0 for all government employees.

and offered for sale at a low cost to
the consumer. will be discussed.
Distribution Of the food. McGrath

amount of work which must be done
preparatory to the actual sale of the
food. distribution is not likely to be-
gin until Friday.
When the food arrives here today it

PLANNING
TO BEAT He. OIL.
Central Labor Union Would
Operate Chain of Stores
In the District.

Ohcials OF the Central Labor
Union announced last night that
nothing further will be ATTEMPTED
in the scheme to establish a CO.
operative store here. financed by
the unions. until directions are re-
ceived from the American Fedora
tion of Labor. which appointed a
committee at the Atlantic CITY con-
vention to investigate the high cost
of living. The union had planned to
establish a chain of stores If the
first proved successful.
In September last a plan was
formulated by the Central Labor
Union to establish about 100 stores
in an effort to beat food profitee--
ing. Sanction of the American Fed
Neration of Labor was never re-
ceived, although no effort was made
to press the matter in view of food
plans of a national character dis
cussed by the parent body.
The committee appointed at Atlantic
City is working on plan similar to
that proposed by the local organiza-
ton, which will take some time to
effect, but in the end. it is believed.
will help to solve the fool problem.
1t is based on the producer-to-tbe-
consumer principle. with stores run BY
the unions as distributors.
Organization of the farmers is the
first step in this plan 1t is announced
1t is claimed that approximately SC. O.Oo
farmers already have been organized,
with the total increasing rapidly.
While the plan of the Central Labor
Union would have established lower
prices than those offered by retailers
it Is argued that a substantial reduc-
tion in food costs would have been
prevented through the control of SUD-
plies by the wholesale market.
With foodstuffs coming direct from
the farmer. as planned by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, it is be-
lieved that consumers eventually will
be able to obtain food at cheaper
prices.
