DISTRICT GUNNERS ON
ANNUAL EXPEDITION

District gunners were out on
the remaining marshes along the
Eastern branch early this morning
on their annual September 1 ex-
pedition for reedbirds, blackbirds
and ortolan. The law permits
shooting to begin half an hour be-
fore sunrise and to continue until
half an hour after sunset.
Sportsmen said today the oats or
wild rice in the marshes are fair
ly heavy this year, though few
reedbirds have come in as yet.
Many fiocks of blackbirds have
been feeding in the marshes for
several days, however. it was
stated. and quite a few ortolan
also have been reported.
In spite of the drainage bitches
that have been cut in the course
of the reclamation work OH the
Benning marshes and the exten-
sion of the dumps north of the
Benning road. considerable areas
of marsh remain, on which the
wild rice is fairly heavy. How
ever, the reclamation work in this
section during the last few years
has driven away the immense
fiocks of reedbirds that formerly
Ted there at this season., and only
relatively small numbers OF the
birds are to be found there now.
The reedblrds are expected. to IN
as they travel southwark from
feeding grounds farther north.
Birds were reported numerous on
the Patuxent river marshes. where,
1t was said, the rice is heavy this
year.

PRESIDENTS LABOR DAY
WORD URGES VIGILANCE

The Labor day message as made
public last night at the White
House follows:
am encouraged and gratified
by the progress which is being
made in controlling the cost Of
living. The support of the move
ment' is widespread and I conf
IDENTIFY look for substantial re-
suits. although I must counsel
patience as well as vigilance. be-
or without team work.
Let me again emphasize my an
peal to every citizen of the coun-
try to continue to give his per-
sonal support in this matter, and
to make it as active as possible.
Let him not only refrain from do
ing anything which. at the mo-
ment, will tend to increase the
cost of living. but let him do all
in his power to increase the pro-
duction; and, further than that.
let him at the same time himself
carefully economize in the mat
ter of consumption. BY common
actio1 in this direction we shall
overcome a danger greater than
the danger of war. We will hold
steady situation which IL fraught
with possibilities OF hardship and
suffering to large part Of our
population; we will enable the
processes Of production to over
take the processes Of consumption:
and we will speed the restoratien
OF an adequate purchasing power
for wages.
II am particularly gratified at
the support which the govern
ment's policy has received from
the representatives of organized
labor. and earnestly hope that
the workers generally will en-
phatically indorse the position of
their leaders and thereby move
with the government instead of
against 1t in the solution of this
greatest domestic problem.
Il am calling for as early date
as practicable conference in
which authoritative representa-
tives of labor and of those who
direct labor will discuss funda--
mental means of lettering the
whole relationship of capital and
labor and putting the whole
question of wages upon another
footing.

DRAFT OF TREATIES

President Wilson declined today to
give the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee the tentative drafts of treaties
with Austria, Hungary, Turkey and Bull
garia, as requested by the committee,
on the grounds that sit would tend to
take the function Of negotiating treaties
out Of the hands Of the executive"
In q letter to Chairman Lodge
President Wilson said that, as the
treaties still were in process of ne
gotiation. he considered it ''out of
the question" to give the tentative
ply that the committee had asked
only for such information as it
would be compatible with the public
interest to give, and added that the

Republicans who entertain these
criticisms allege that President Will
son is playing ducks and brakes with
the republican leadership in Congress
and, they add. "he is getting away
with it." Their first criticism was laid
against the way in which the Presi-
dent was permitted to appropriate to
the administration and the democratic
party the issue of the high cost of
living
That should have been our plum"
many republicans are now ruefully
admitting to one another. Certainly
the leaders did not lack suggestion
from the rank and file of the House
to that effect while it was yet time.
After the appropriation bills had been
passed. the duty for which the extraor-
dinary session was called. represen-
tations were made to the House lead
ers that the burden of living cost
was the livest issue to the people at

G. o. p. Leaders Feared Labor.
The leaders rejected the sugges-
tions: they were afraid of labor, q on
the argument that wages were at the
basis of the high cost and the re-
publicans ought not to touch that
subject now. The leadership decided
on a six-week recess of the House.

DROPPING,
SAYS JUDGE AMES
Head of Department of JUS
tice Profiteering Inquiry
Gives Data.
ALL LINES ARE Affected

Prices of commodities Of all kinds
have passed the peak and have started
downward, declared Judge Ames, in
charge of the Department of Justice
price and profiteering probe, today.
Not only is the downward trend
noticeable in food prices and in prices
OF wearing apparel, shoes. etc. but it is
not enter directly into consumption
And the trend is observable in all parts
OF the country, rather than in few
relatively restricted areas. where prices
generally have been highest in all lines.
No Marked Reductions Yet.
Reductions as yet are not marked
in any one line. Judge Ames stated,
and the general public probably Is
high mark has been passed. Aver
ages for all lines. however, tabulated
from reports from every section of
the country, show that the general
decline has set fn,. and that it may
confidently be expected to continue
with steadily accelerating speed un-
I'll prices generally return to some
thing approximately normal or pre-
war levels.
Indicating the general disposition
toward price reductions, Judge Ames
said. was an inquiry from a national
organization of manufacturers of
building supplies as to whether or not
the Department of Justice would be
willing to acquiesce in an agreement
to be made by the organization that
prices of building supplies of all kinds
should not be advanced. This, Judge
Ames declared, was diplomatic way
of preparing for general lowering Of
building supplies prices
Evidences of the fact that the de-
parements probe of alleged profiteer-
ing is extending even into the most
out OF the way sections of the country,
and that dealers in all manner of COM
modities are aroused to the fact that
the Departments agents are in ear
nest In their work of roofing out
profiteers. large and small, are being
received in every mail reaching Judge
Ames' Office. Letters from retailers,
from farmers. from stockmen and
others, asking what the department
plans to do. and what prices would be
considered fair for the commodities
handled or produced by the writer's,
form a considerable part of Judge
Ames' mail
Asks Fair Price for Garlic Bulbs.
An amusing instance. illustrating
the manner in which knowledge of the
departments efforts has penetrated
into remote sections, was contained in
a letter received today.
The writer of the letter. evidently
small farmer or gardener in Okla
homa, wrote to Judge Ames that he
had a quantity of garlic. bulbs, some
planting stuff" and some green pep
pers for sale. and asked what the
Department of Justice considered a
fair price for these articles.
while this letter is amusing" said
Judge Ames, 'it is an unmistakable
indication that people in every sec
tion of the country have awakened to
the fact that the government is wag-
ing war on profiteers, no matter who
they are or where they may be-"
Tremendous imitation of prices of
