ate, just prior to the receipt of Mr..
Illness report, unanimously adopted
the Frelinghuysen resolution for a com
plete investigation of the coal situa-
ton by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission
Mr.. Hines said there had been prac-
cically no hindrance to coal production
because of a shortage Of cars. If the
demand for coal is as large as is pre-
dicted by the National Coal Associa-
tion, he said, there promises to be sub
stantal difficulties not only ir trans
portation, but in production of the coal
to be transported. The difficulties, he
explained, would be due to the fact
that the entire railroad plant will be
SO busy handling a very large business
of all sorts that an abnormal amount
of any particular business, such as
coal, would inevitably lead to conges-
tion and delay.
"The great danger that confronts the
public in this matter is that any
shortage. either in production by the
mines or in transportation, may be eX-
aggerated SO as to serve as pretext
which, in my opinion, are already high,
generally speaking," he said.
ut is worthy Of serious considera-
tion whether Congressional action can
be taken to protect the public under
these circumstances from excessive
coal prices.
81 believe it will be of specific ad-
vantage to the public if Congress
would provide for an official inquiry
by the proper branch of the govern
ment to ascertain the probable demand
for coal for the rest of the year, so as
to determine the extent to which the
predictions of an abnormal demand for
coal are justified"

They call for the inclusion or wearing
apparel in the list of commodities to
be controlled and for imposing penal
ties for practices declared to be llle-
gal during the war, but for which no
penalties were provided
This amendment" said Senator
Smith, of Georgia, referring to the
penalty provision, "makes a practice a
crime that never was crime before
am afraid to make a crime so ndefi-
mite. | suggest the best way to meet
this situation is to reintroduce the
licensing system"
Attorney General Palmer said the
licensing system could not be recon
structed within at least two months.
Il am afraid, if we vote now. we will
have to reject the Attorney Generals
proposition" Senator Smith said later.
To an impatient suggestion from
Senator Kenyon, Republican, of Iowa,
that vote be taken immediately, Sen
ator Ransdall responded:
favorably now | am sure that it will
occasion at least sixty days of debate,
because | know one Senator who can
and will debate for days upon these
questions"
"Yes," agreed Senator Smith. of South
Carolina, "and by that time there will
be no need of this legislation"

final vote would be put off until Tues
day to give the Southerners additional
time to study the proposed amend

yesterday that he was opposed to any
such amendment
John G. Miller, of New York. repre-
senting the National Board of Farm
organizations. urged the adoption of q
similar amendment before the House
Committee on Agriculture. If farmers
were denied the right Of "collectve

there would be a falling off in produc-

Senator Thomas, of Colorado, as
serted in the Senate that abnormal
and extortionate profits" by food man.
ufacturing corporations are contribut-
ing to the high cost of living. He
read prospectus of the Quaker Oats
Company and the Amalgamated Sugar
Company to show these corporations
had been making huge profits
Senator Reed, Of Missouri told the
Senate, on the other hand, that the
high cost of living was due almost en-
tlrely to the enormous exports of
American foodstutfs abroad and to an
accompanying decrease of production
He showed that foodstutfs sent abroad
in 1913 amounted to SOB, II 900 and in
1919 to $2,504, ,095,53H.

Reed Opposes Ne,U
Food Control La1U

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-High cost
of living is the result of operation Of
fundamental and immutablc laws, and
lower living costs will come, to a large
degree, only from operation of these
natural laws, Senator Reed, Democrat,
of Missouri, declared in an address
in the Senate to-day.
Many Of the remedies being pro-
posed to reduce living costs, Senator
Reed asserted, are futile because they
are artificial and designed to disturb
operation of natural economic ten
dencics. Increase in production, the
Missouri Senator declared, would be
the greatest factor toward reducing
prices.
"Therc arc two great principles in
be disregarded and which no amount
of legislation can effectively control"
said MIR. Reed. "First, whenever the
demand for any great necessity mate
rally exceeds the supply, an increase
in price is inevitable Conversely
when the supply exceeds the demand
a decrease in prices follows.
"The latter condition may be tempo
rarily effected by combinations arti-
ticially Withholding the supply and
controlling the market. But no COM
Dlnatlon OF men and no DEGREES OF gov
crnmcnt have ever been able to trans
mute a deficiency into plenty or to re-
move the natural longings for neces-
sary article which cannot be obtained
"Sccond a radical increase in the
number of dollars in circulation re-
suits in decrease in the purchasing
power of the dollar.
ANY device. plan or scheme, there
fore, which will have tendency to
lessen production. to discourage enter
prise, or to arrest industry, will, in
stead of bringing lower prices, in
crease present excessive prices by un-
der production
Senator Reed opposed Attorney Gen
cral Palmcr's request for extension of
the food control law, declaring un-
necessary the proposed penalty for the
boarding and protitecring action.
Senator Smith. Democrat, of Georgia,
inter- riectcd that President Wilson evil
Gently had not read the whole food
control act before he made his food
control recommendations to Congress.
Shipment of food TO Europe was de-
clared by Senator Reed to be one of
the principal causes of high prices in
this country. Such shipments, he
said. deplete domestic supplies and
raise prices.

Attorney Kane, issued statement
promising vigorous prosecution of all
food proftcers, large and small
"As result of the action considered
to-day" said Mr.. Palmer, "the price
of food in Philadelphia will be de-
creased to marked extent within a
short time.
"The Lever bill will be made applica-
bic to the smallest retailer by Congress
within week. A severe penalty will
be attached to the bill, which will
make it dangerous business for the
small dealer to charge unreasonable
prices"
Before the conference Mr.. Palmer
said it had come to his attention that
immense quantities Of foodstuffs are
being held in storage in Philadelphia
and nearby cities. This, he explained,
is one of the reasons for his visit.

"rhe various states will have to take
up the rent protiteering question. We

proXimately forty warrants charging

Chicago packing companies, were is
sued by the State Of Ohio to-day, and

cordlng to Governor James NJ. Cox

In addition, Governor Cox appealed
TO United States Attorney General
Palmer to seize approximately y $500 900
POUNDS OF meat and poultry which have
been held IN cold storage houses lonper
than the period allowed under The
Ohio law
Governor Cox, in his telegram to Mr.
Palmer, said evidence had been nm
covered by inspectors of the state
Dairy and Food Department that some
OF the big Chicago packing companies
nave shipped food into the state and
then back to Chicago and again shipped
1T into the state "for the double pur-
pose of deceiving the authorities of
ONO and Illinois and of keeping food
necessities off the market in order that
deficiency and higher prices might
come together"
Asks Federal Prosecution
On this alleged showing the Cover
nor asks the Federal Attorney General
to bring criminal prosecutions, offer
ing evidence gathered by Ohio officials
Governor Cox also wired Assistant
United States Attorney General Frank
Davis at Washington, that the Sheriff
Street market house, Cleveland to
avoid Federal penalty, is moving its
meat products to Chicago warehouses
and that records as to previous storage
in Cleveland are being destroyed
'ln the Sheriff Street market house in
Cleveland" Governor Cox said, "whcre
there is an estimated total of one thou
sand tons of goods held over the time
we find unmistakable evidence of a
DETACHMENT and destruction of records
and the maintenance Of policy based
seemingly upon the wiful purpose to
defraud the public after dcceivng legal
authorities. Goods have been shipped
from the Monarch Storage Company
in Chicago to the Sheriff Street market
