The federal trade commission late
ly has been making an inquiry into the
shoe business, and has informed con-
gress that the high prices of shoes are
due to the unprecedented and unjust
flied profits taken by the slaughterers,
tanners, manufacturers and dealers.
Here, again, the packers are hit, for
they are charged with causing an un-
warranted increase in the price Of
hides, the supply of which they are
said to control.

Already the railroads of the country
are greatly hampered by the strike OF
the shop workers. This was not au-
thorized by the national unions, and 1t
began to collapse when the president
told the men their demands would not
be considered until they resumed work.
Both England and France are han
ding their tremendous labor difficulties
fairly we'll. In the former the strike
of city policemen seems to be a fail
ure, though in Liverpool it was accom-
panied by serious rioting. In France
the workers have sensibly agreed to
postpone all strikes for six months and
meantime they will join with the EN-
ployers and the government in earnest
efforts to solve the problems of wages
and prices TO stimulate greater pro-
duction, which alone, it is believed,
can save their country from economic
disaster. 1t would be an unmeasur-
able blessing if some of the common
sense that has moved the French la
borers to keep up production could be
instilled in the American workers so
they might realize that in cutting off
production they are cutting their own
threats.

Following up the memorandum Of
the locomotive engineers presented to
the president, fourteen railroad mi
acting as a unit handed TO Director
General Hines a demand for wage in
creases with a general program de-
signed TO meet the present crisis. in
volving the threat of a general railroad
strike. They ask that congress appro-
pirate the money to provide increased
pay and that the proper rate-making
body then determine what increases
If any should be made in rates.
ANY permanent solution of the rail-
road problem must necessarily remove
the element of returns to capital as the
sole purpose of operation say the
unions, and so the director general is
asked to recommend to President Will
son that he try to obtain the passage
by congress of the so-called Plumb
plan. This plan, in eliminating pri-
vate capital from the railroads. not
only proposes but demands that the
present private owners be reimbursed
with government bonds for "every hon
est dollar that they have invested;
that the public, the operating manage
ments, and labor share equally in cor
porations to take over the railroads,
and that in all n In excess Of
the guarantee to private capital the OPP
orators and employees share one-half.

Cost of Living and the Pos
SibIe Remedies.
PACKERS TO Be PROSECUTED
General Campaign Is Started Against
Profiteers-RaiIway Unions De-
mand More Pay, Urge the
Plumb Plan and Threaten
to Strike.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The open season for profiteers has
come. If there is a bright spot in the
worlds sky, that is it. For the rest
the clouds are black enough to suit
the most confirmed pessimist.
Government officials, investigating
bodies, individual economists-all have
been earnestly seeking for the prime
causes Of the high cost of living. The
cold-blooded, greedy profiteer who bat
tens on the misfortunes of the people
Is the most easily discerned of those
causes and is going to be the first to
be dealt with. All the sympathy he
gets must come fE9m- himself cuug
President Wilson appeared bIrofe
congress Friday and delivered a schol-
arly essay on the subject, which in
cluded various recommendations for
legislative action, and told what the
government already is doing in the
way of curbing the operations OF the
profiteers. He urged the permanent
extension of the food control act. a
law regulating cold storage, a law re-
curing that all goods entering inter-
state shipment be marked with the
producers price. prompt enactment OF
the pending capital issues bill, and,
what seems to the writer most impor-
tant of all, the passage of a law re-
curing federal licensing Of all corpor-
atoms engaged in interstate commerce.
The president did not overlook the
opportunity to push the immediate
ratification of the peace treaty and
league covenant. He devoted much OF
his message to assertions, in varied
form, that until peace is established
only provisional and makeshift results
can be accomplished in the way of re-
ducing living costs. There can be no
settled conditions anywhere in the
world. he declared, until the treaty is
out of the way. Such views did not meet
with the approval of most of the Re-
publican congressman, and their indig-
nation was aroused by the fact that
the president used the domestic issue
as a weapon in the contest over the
League of Nations.

The sugar situation is confusing
and statements are as conflicting as
those relating to the packing industry.
However the government believes the
sugar men also are proiteering and
three officials of the Pittsburgh branch
Of a Chicago concern were arrested.
1t is asserted that scalpers have vast
quantities of sugar stored away and
that dealers are forced to buy-~here
they can and pay what is asked. In
this, as in the case of other food prod
ucts, the accused say the government
is partly to blame for shipping vast
supplies to Europe and thus creating
q domestic shortage. The concerted
attacks by federal and local authori-
ties caused immediate and sharp de-
clines in the wholesale prices Of many
foods, but there was little evidence
that the consumer was profting by the
declines, which seemed to put some of
the onus on the retailers.

Japan. through Foreign Minister
Uchida. promises to restore Shantung
to China on conclusion Of arrange
ments with the Picking government to
carry out the pledge given in the
agreement of 1915. President Wilson,
however. now reveals the fact that the
japanese peace delegates gave sub
stantially the same promise In the in
ter-allied conference of April 30 with
out any reference to the agreement of
1915. The president believes the jap
anese statement clears up the doubt
about the Shantung affair. Secretary
of State Lansing told the senate for
eign relations committee that China
had eve protested to the president
against the Shantung settlement by
the allied peace council; that the
clause vas accepted by the decision of
the president and that he, Mr.. Lam
sing, did not believe 1t was needed to
obtain Japan's adherence to the

war strength of 1,250,OO the reserves
to be provided through a modified form
of the selective service act. Included
is a system of military training of
three months for all eligible youths in
their nineteenth year. This feature
may gain for the bill the support of
the advocates Of universal military
training,
