He cited the report of the federal
trade commission showing rising
prices in the face of greater stocks Of
food on hand than were in the country
a year ago. The president called on
congress and the public to deal with
the subject soberly. He appealed to
merchants and others to deal fairly
with the people, and to housewives
to exercise a greater vigilence, a more
thoughtful economy
No Immediate Remedy.
The president warned congress,
however, that no complete and i'm

legislation or immediate action. Pro-
cesses of supply and demand would
not operate Of themselves while the
country neither was at peace or at

Alleged That Grain Corporation
Has Violated Acts
Intent

Washington, Aug. 8.-Re-
peal of the government price
guaranty for wheat to en-
able farmers to secure
higher prices was urged at
a special meeting of the
senate agricultural commit
tee today. Action by the
committee was deferred.
Senator Norris, republi-
can, Nebraska, proposed the
repeal of the price guaranty,
and T. S. Atkeson Of Wash
ington, representative of the
National Grange, endorsed
it.
$2.26 is MINIMUM
Senator Norris, Chairman
GrOnna and other commit
tee members said the wheat
price guaranty law had not
been carried out. The $2.26
price they declared was in
tended by congress to be the
minimum price with a
higher price possible under
the law of supply and de-
mand. Instead, they assert
ed, the United States Grain
corporation had made the
minimum guaranty the
maximum price for the
farmer.
Mr.. Atcheson told the
committee the farmer would
receive an average of only
$1.5O a bushel for wheat
this year. He and Senator
Gr0nna declared that had
the government not fixed
the price farmers would re-
ceive much more than the
guaranty because of the
prospective wheat shortage
and the world demand.

Mr.. Hines is understood to- o'consider
that two main points are involved:
First, how much has the cost Of liv-

being paid in other industries for the
same class of work?
