COMMITTEES GAN
 NOT RAISE PRICE, PALMER ANNOUNCES
Fair Price Boards Have No Power to Sanction Any Price Changes Above
 Present Level
By Associated Press

Washington, September 4.-Fair price committees throughout the country were informed by Attorney General Palmer today that their activities were not expected in any wise to include official sanction for raising prices above present levels
 Reports that in few places com mfttees operating with the department of justice in the governments efforts to reduce the cost of living had ad vanced charges to consumers caused an official circular to be prepared fpak ing it cTear that such step haa no approval from Washington
 "The purpose of this campaign
 is to reduce the cost of living, not
 to increase it," the circular said.
 sTair price committees should not
 mt any place or under any circum-
 stances increase prices. If in the
 judgment of the committee price
 is too low, it should not be
 touched. It is only prices which
 are too high with which we are
 cOncerned.-
 Assistant Attorney General Ames, in charge of the administration of the food control law, said there were only a few places where prices had been advanced. MT. Palmer's circular, made public by Judge Ames. likewise gave instructions as to the basis to be used in determining fair prices.
 Tn ascertaining what is reasonable charge" the circular said. "the original cost is one factor to be considered, the replacement value is another and all the facts and circumstances sur rounding the transaction are proper elements entering into the problem. Fair price committees must use their best judgment in such cases without narrowing the question to any one factor
 It was made clear in memorandum of the conference between MT. Palmer and MT Ames and the committee of governors that the Jurisdiction of the fair price committees includes fuel and wearing apparel as well as foods and feeds.

mission, after long and careful adjudi- cation, would render verdict which pop ular approval would sustain. and against which neither labor nor capital would dare to transgress.
 The senator stressed the importance of action by Congress to the end that there might not be strike or lockout of na- tion- wide proportions. He declared the public, which has too seldom been con sidered by capital and labor. endeavor- ing to settle their disputes with as little cost as possible to themselves should be given it's inning inasmuch as it was the greatest sufferer in the event of indus trial strife The public must be served, the senator said. for the public, when capital and labor fall out. not only does the suffering. but foots the bill.
 The Senate is preparing to study the legislation prepared as a solution of the railroad problem by the interstate com merce committee. of which Senator Un- derwood is a member. The committee has studied the problem for nearly two years The committee recommends leg islation similar to that suggested by Sem ator Underwood in his speech. Neither capital nor labor has officially expressed opinion, but the public has let it be known that it stands with the commit tee in it's recommendations.
 Senatorf Underwood's address follows:
 TEXT OF ADDRESS
 sIndustrial wars between labor and capital must ultimately find a solution that will stand for industrial peace without resort to force to settle the matters in dispute, or we must admit that the advance of civilization has come to a halt.
 ''rhe great difficulty that confronts the country in the settlement of it's labor disputes is the fact that up to the present time we have found no sound basis on which to rest the set

THREE COURSES CONSIDERED

The administrations programme for tomorrow as outlined by one of the house administration leaders tonight, calls for one of three courses--the house to concur in the senate amendments or the senate recede from it's amendments, or. and this
 seems to be preferred, the senate recall it's members and appoint their successors from the floor To do this it will be nes- essary to change or override the rule of senate empowering the president to ap- point all committees.
 Two of the three senate members of the conference committee oppose the rev. enue bill as it stands. while two of the three house members are for it. l Members of the committee stated to- night that they would report tomorrow that they could not agree upon report. | This is expected to he the signal for the storm to break in the senate. | It is said a caucas of administration senators was held this afternoon, ma jority of the total membership being pres
 ent, and that after canvassing the situ-
 ation they decided to recall the senate
 conferees. Under the rules adopted by
 the senate. no rule can be suspended If | there is objection by one member, and l one days notice of motion to change
 the rules must be given. Tn the event or
 an effort to recall the committee and ap- point their successors from the floor sew
 eral senators will object. and to pass the
 resolution on the same day. it will pc
 necessary to ignore the specific rules
 and with their slim majority force 1t
 through over the protest of the oppo- sition.
 1 If they do this the bill is far from pas
 sage. Whatever report conference com
 mittee may make must be concurred III
 by the house.
 l It is intimated tonight that If the senate puts through any such gay rule as out lined an effort will be made to recall the
 house members of the conference com
 mittee and supplant them with men se-
 lected by the house itself and not by the speaker.

HOTTEST FIGHT OF
 LEGISLATURE TODAY l + ADMINISTRATION 1 RETAINS ITS NERVE
Bitter Contest Expected Over Attempt to Rob Lieu tenant Governor of Power to Name Senate Mem-
 bers of New Committee
By W. J. BOLES

Montgomery, September 4
 Special. ) Forecasts tonight are for very warm session
 over the revenue bill in the
 senate tomorrow. If the nerve of the administration does not fail it and an attempt is made
 to carry out the programme outlined by the administration leaders tonight the hottest fight of the entire 1919 session
 of the Alabama legislature will take place some time during
 the day.
 It will come over motion to change in revolutionary way the rules of the senate that will rob the president, Lieu tenant Governor Nathan l.. Miller, of the power to appoint the senate members of the revenue bill conference committee. The conference committee appointed yes terday is just as far from an agreement on the senate amendments as was the first committee which 1t succeeds.
 When the committee met today the partly printed typewritten report sub stitute for the 115 senate amendments which the first committee failed to gree upon was presented and the six members asked to sign it. Three of them refused to do so, just as three members of the first committee had refused The two long sessions held hy the committee dur ing the day failed to develop any weak ness on either side. No offer to compro- mise on important provisions came from the administration. They stood pat on the machinery, and the income and ton mage taxes. They did agree to strike out the waterpower shipbuilding and other exemptions. Further they offered nothing Opponents of the machinery and the in- come and tonnage taxes refused to make all of the concessions to an agreement. And that was the situation when the com mittee adiourned
