IL Is possible that the war FOOD
Board and price fixing committees will
not be empowered to enforce the
prices suggested. 1t is certain that the
standardization of prices for staples
even If unaccompanicd by penalties
would assist In read;ustment that
would bring at least temporary relief.
That was one of the lashe5 that the
food administration held during the
war. Simply the threaten to disclose
the names of firms VINO were boarding
or otherwise ciolating the law brought
many provision merchants to time.

the ~1oard of support that makes Il
dY .ngerous for dealer to oppose.
Mr.. Griswold stated that prior to
the disbanding of the war food adj
mlnistration price fixing committee
had been named. Since that time the
organization has been completely dis
solved and it is not known whether
the old organization will be revived.
1t has not been intimated how many
persons would be named on the price
fixing committee, except for the state
ment of Mr.. Griswold, in which he
made it clear that there would be
enough on the committee to deal with
| all of the problems likely to be faced
by city of this size. Representatives.

placed by the board.
In the opinion of Joseph E. Strick-
| er, County Prosecutor Congressional
action will certainly be taken to regu
late the control of food by the trusts.
| He said that it was clearly within the
| power of the national Legislature to
enact laws restricting the amount of
! food that could be stored by any per-
son or corporation. If Congress does
take such action it may well be that
| the price fixing committees will have
behind them the power of the fed
eral departments.
In New York City Food Admins
traitor Williams has already caused a
list of what seem fair prices to be
published. His list includes cereals
fish, produce, dairy products meal
and canned goods.
The rapidity with which the gov
ernment is acting or appearing to
act in the present crisis shows at
| least determination to reach the
facts AS the laws are now there are
many sections that have not felt the
pressure of actual tests and it is
hoped that many of the antitrust,
anti-monopoly and anti-storage laws
may be made to include penalties for
boarding.
Prosecutor Stricken stated that IL
boarding could be shown to be the
result of an attempt to control the
price of any commodity, ground for
prosecution would be furnished m
his opinion practically all of the
boarding is for that purpose alone.

DOVER, England, August 13-The
American steamer Englewood struck
a mine in the North Sea off the
Thames river, at 1880 o'clock this
morning and sent out wireless mes
