PRnFsTEER!MG BILL IS
 LOST IN TINE COMMITTEE
Neither of Two Bills Now Pending Can Be Passed. It is Said-An
 other May Be Offered.

Little Rock. Sept. 26-The Senate yesterday adopted the House resolu- tion providing for an adjournment of the special session of the legislature at noon Wednesday.
 The special committee appointed to consider bills relating to profitcering. of which Senator Creed Caldwell is chairman. made a report recommend iEe tnat Senate bills 2 and 2S, do not pass The report was received and fled and no action was taken Oh either bill.
 Several members of the Senate, it was said, desired to have both bills taken up for consideration and Gis- pose of them either by indefinite post ponment or by defeat on roll call.
 At the afternoon session when an inquiry was made as to whether the report of the anti-profteering commit tee was in order, Senator Caldwell said that it was a foreg0ne conclusion that neither bill could receive the endorse ment of the Senate and that it was deemed ineXpedient to take them up.
 "Of course,' said Senator Caldwell, If the Senate wants them considered and Dy discussion some of t}e senators can secure some glory out of tie de bate I have no objection. l think that some of the criticism of the bills was extreme and uniustitied, and it is pos sible that a substitute bill may be drafted that VII be acceptable to the Senate" Senate Bill No. 27, by Sen ator Caldwell, bears the simple title. For the prevention of profteering, and Senate Bill No. 28. also introduced by Senator Caldwell, provides that the cost prices of goods shall be mark ed in nlain figures for the benefit of nurchasers. Senate Bill No. 27 IS knnwn as the administration bill and is designed to prevent the hoardlng of food prOducts in cold storage for longer than one year.
