Jacksonville Times Union)

]. H. McLaurin, president of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' Assocla-
ton, with headquarters in the Con-
solidatel building, returned to the city
yesterday after visit to Chicago,
Missouri Louisiana and Texas, where
he made an exhaustive study OF the
food conditions, relative to their val
ues. He stated that the probable rea-
sons for the present high cost OF liv-
ing were imitation which is an impor-
tant factor affecting both the amount
of money in circulation, credit and
capitalization; scarcity and the cost
of doing business has been greatly in
creased both as to wages and mate
rial
In speaking of the remedies to cor
rect these causes he said: First, l
would put a gradual reduction in the
quantity of money and credit instru-
ments now in circulation. Next,
there must be a halt to speculative
capitalization of corporation, and a
realization that wartime profits can
not continue to be made. In this con-
nection it will be necessary to regu-
late certain monopolies. There must
also be a restoration of the instru-
ments of production and transporta-
ton in warstricken Europe in which
America can aid by extending credit.
With reduced imitation and profits,
and with restoration of productive Ca
pacity the cost Of living may be re-
duced, and wages likewise, for wabes
and prices move in a circle.
81 regard with a great deal of sat-
isfaction the federal governments at
titude in connection with the contin-
ued advance in values, not only In
food, but in practically all of the ne
cessities of life. On leaving Chicago
ten days ago for Jacksonville visited
markets in Missouri, Oklahoma, Loui.
siana and Texas with a view Of max
ing some Investigations Of food val
ues on those markets. While doing
this had opportunity to 60 very care
fully into the question of the grocery
jobber's cost and selling price and I
am pleased to say that / found prac-
tically no profiteering was taking
place in those lines. have met and
talked with hundreds Of retail grocers
and find that in those uarters there is
a general feeling of dissatisfaction
with the decreasing net profit on theii
distribution, a condition resulting
from the greater overhead expense Of
operation.

GASOLINE FIRE GIVES
BIG SCARE MONDAY
Gulf Refining Co.'s Wagon Catches
Aiirc and Creates Excitement Mon
div Afternoon,

day Afternoon.
Considerable excitement was Great
cd and visions Of great explosion
were had Monday afternoon on the
north side Of the public square when a
gasoline wagon caught aiirc and the
mules moved across the square lcav-
ing stream Of fire in the wagons
wake. Quick work by volunteers and
the fire department, connected with a
mysterious shutting off Of the gas
pipe resulted in a victory for the fire
lighters and the danger was over.
The trouble started when "Bulic"
Moore struck a match to light a Gig
arctic at tho corner Of the building
housing Vincent Motor Companv's
garage underneath The Advertiser Of
lice. The gas wagon in charge Of
Niles Workman, was nearby cmptying
an order Of gasoline into the Vincent
tank. a small amount Of the volatile
flnid had escaped from the tank,
flowcd off with water leaking from the
faucet on the side Of tho street and
iricklcd away some distance from thc
gasoline tank around the corner to
the alley between The Advertiser
building and tho Enterprise National
Bank whore Mr.. Moore was trying to
sell friend an automobile, which sale
incidentally did not matcrializc right
then. Innoccntly throwing the match
into what he thought was harmless
water, Mr.. Moore let ii fall on the
gasoline mixture instead and this in
Stantly ignitcd, the blaze rapidly run
ming up the grade to the wagon and TO
tiIo stream OF gasoline flowing out of
the tank. Mr.. Workman ATTEMPTED to
turn off the ilow Of gasoline, but fail
ing to make complete job Of it rush
cd for the fire station. The mules
lcisnrcly pulled the wagon across the
street leaving trail OF fire behind. In
the midst Of the excitement the gaso-
line ceased to flow out Of the tank
and the lirc-iightcrs made a telling
assault on the blaze with chemicals
from the truck and hand-cxtinguish-
crs. The danger was then over ana
the crowd that had gathered soon dis
pGrscd after satisfying Itself as to all
tho details and making various csti-
mates as to what damage might have
been done had the wagon exploded.

OF CAPITAL AND LABOR
In Labor Day Message to Workers Says He Will
Call Conference Soon--Asks Cooperation in Fight
On High Cost Of Living.

Washington, Aug 31.-Prcsidcnt
wilson in Labor Day message to
American workers tonight announced
that he would call in the near future
Il conference Of representatives Of la
Dor and industry "to discuss funda-
mental means of bcttcring the whole
relationship Of capital and labor and
putting the whole question Of wages
upon another footing The president
said he was encouraged and pleased
with the results thus far Of the gov
crment's efforts to bring down the
cost Of living and expressed conf
dcncc that substantial results would
be achieved in the solving OF this
problem. Patience and vigilance,
however, he said, must be exercised
and the governments efforts must
have the cooperation of every citi-
zen.
presumably referring to the exist
lnG labor unrest and threats Of strikes
the president appealed TO every citi-
zen TO refrain from doing anything
that would tend to increase the cos,
OF living but instead 10 do all possible
TO promote production.
The president expressed particular
SratlllcatiOn at the attitude taken By
the representatives of organized labor
in supporting the governments pro-
gram to meet requests for additional
wages through lowering of living
costs and said he hoped that tho
work rs themselves would "mOvc with
the government instead OF against it
in the solution Of this great demo-
cratic problem"

public tonight at the White House fol-
lows:
II am encouraged and gratihcd by
the progress which is being made in
controlling the cost Of living. The sup
