WAITING WORD
FROM PALMER
Three Local Fair-Price Com
mittees Not to Act Till Copies
of Law Are Received
PLAN PROFITEER PROBE

Pending receipt from the depart
ment of Justice at Washington of
copies of the recently enacted food
control act, the three fair price com
mittees for Hamilton county will de-
lay investigation of local food and
clothing prices.
Members of all the committees
stated this morning that they would
attempt no work until they knew
definitely just what the law was as
regards proliteering and boarding.
The new law states that the charg-
ing Of an excessive price shall be
deemed a violation of the law. 1t was
asked this morning who would de-
termine when price became excess
sive and 1t was stated that jury
would be the ultimate body called
upon to determine that question.
100 Per Cent Profit, Charge.
Charges have been made that some
merchants of Chattanooga have used
100 per cent. as a minimum profit,
while others are said to have been
satisfied with less. A very prominent
official who is thoroughly familiar
with matters Of this kind, has ex-
pressed the opinion that a maximum
profit of SO per cent. should be the
limit and that anything above that
should be considered excessive under
the terms of the new law.
1t Is said that some local merchants
have made practice OF charging the
same price for old stocks as for new
For instance, m article that last year
cost the merchant "a and was sold
for $3.50. 1t cost the merchant this
year SO to secure the same article
and, according to information re-
ceived by some members Of the fair
price coInmittees,..the merchant IA
| now selling both the old and new
stock for $8, thereby realizing profit
of 100 per cent. on leftover stocl
from last year and 33 Ia per cent. on
the new stock.
To Be Probed.
Such practices as these will be in.
vestigated by the committees. The
hope is expressed that 1t will not bt
necessary to prosecute local mer-
chants. but that all merchants arr
not only willing but anxious to CO.
operate with the government in thu
matter of prices.
Travelling men at the hotels hav'
remarked, however, that they find II
Chattanooga much higher prices thar
those prevailing in other cities, par
ticularly Knoxville and Atlanta. Som'
are wont to charge that prices be

training Of so many soldiers at For
Oglethorpe, 1t being the common
practice to get as much out of tn,
army camps as possible" and for tina
| reason prices scared and simply will
not come down again.
j. Lon Foust, who was named b,
Gov. A. Fl. Roberts as a member o
the fair-price committee representing
| the state, said this morning that h
| would tender his resignation from
the committee. He said that persona
reasons, which he refused to give ou
for publication, prompted him to taxi

.CALLSFOR VOTE
ON PEACE PACT.
Democratic Leader Hitchcock
Accepts Lodges Challenge
to Administration.
ROLL CALL DEM AN DED
Underwood Proposed Imme-
diate Ballot on Ratification
Without Reservations

Washington, Nov. 6.-An imme-
diate vote on the ratification Of the
treaty Of Versailles without reserva.
tions was proposed in the senate late
today by Senator Underwood, demo-
erat, Of Alabama, after Republican
Leader Lodge had challenged tho ad-
nnInistration TO make such a move.
Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, the
administration leader, intervensd be-
fore the question was put and a long
argument ensued.
Senator Underwood's proposal fol-
lowed discussion of parliamentary
procedure which was attended by
great confusion. Half dozen sena-
tors frequently sought to speak at
the same time and Vice. President
Marshall was kept busy banging his
gavel for order.
Senator Hitchcock accepted the
challenge of Senator Lodge and made
a motion that the senate ratify the
treaty without reservation. He then
demanded a rollcall.
Instead of proceeding to vote on
Senator Hitchcock's motion for un-
reserved ratification, the senate re-
vived discussion on another proposal
by Senator Hitchcock to report the
treaty Immediately from the commit
tee of the whole in order to consider
resolutions of ratification.
There was a wide difference of
opinion as to what would be the
status of the treaty should the reso-
luton of ratification with reserva-
tions attached be defeated. Senator
Underwood said he would vote
against the resolution containing res
ervations, and Senator Lodge warned
II the treaty were rejected with res
ervations attached, the delay that
would follow would "be the delay of
DEATH"
Following defeat of the Gore
amendment, Lodge suggested that
condition of the majority of ratifica-
ton with reservations attached to II
be begun. He said 1t was his inten-
tion to offer reservations for imme-
ldiate action"
! Senator Borah said he had no OBJ
ljection to reservations being taken
sup, but he would have other amend
sments to offer later.
Finally Displaced. 3a.s..
I Senator Hitchcocks motion to re-
port the treatX and take up the rati :
fcation resolution f1naf1y was dis
placed by Senator Lodges original
motion to take up reservations. Vice
President Marshall overruled Senator
Underwood's point of order against
immediate consideration of reserva- :
tions.

Atty.-Cen. Palmer Against
Compromise With Miners

Washington. Nov, 6.--"There can
be no compromise with those who
violate the law" declared n telegram
from Atty.-Gen. Palmers office this
afternoon to- steel workers. let,
ILL.,. who had sent telegram to Presi-
dent Wilson asking why he advocated
arbitration in the coal strike and had
not forced Judge Gary to arbitrate
the steel strike.
The telegram of the attorney gen.
eral to the allied steel workers coun-
Gil. is as follows:
II am very glad to answer your
telegram and point out to you the
difference between the strike of the
coal miners and the strike of the steel
workers. which is very simple but
very important.
1.-The law does not prohibit the
strike of the steel workers, while 1t
does expressly prohibit any concert
of action to reduce the output of coal
The government has acted in the coal
strike to enforce the law. The de-
partment of justice intends TO en-
force the law. There can be no COM
promise with those who violate the
law.
The laws and institutions of our
country are more important than the
interests of any portion OF our peo-
pie, and 1t Is my purpose, without
deviation, to enforce the law in tie
coal strike.
"If there was any law being T:o-
lated In the steel strike / should not
hesitate to act against either the steel
corporation or the strikers. You may
have overlooked the fact that during
the month of October the case was
argued in the supreme court and tine
government contends that the steel
corporation itself is a violation Of
law.
Il have frequently pointed out that
the action of the department in the
coal case is based on the foo1 and
fuel control act and the ;ood and fuel
control act does not apply To steel.
The coal strike. there fore, involves
questions entirely different from
those involved in the steel strike"
