bring down prices, Arthur Williams
Eederal Eond Administrator for Neut

bring down prices, Arthur williams
Federal Food Administrators for New
York City, declared yesterday.
Mr.. Williams declared that Federal
regulation Of the food business would
be heartily indorsed by consumers.
Public spirited men would volunteer to
direct the work, he predicted.
There is undoubtedly great need
for an organ cation to regulate both
said Mr. Williams. "The necessity Is
as great during this reconstruction
period as during the war.
with Congress and the President
authorizing the establishment of new
food administration, and with man
like Herbert Hoover at the head Of It,,
the present unsettled and almost cha
otc conditions could be quickly re-
lieved.
ut is unfair to charge profiteer ng
until sufficient evidence Is disclosed,
but there is no doubt that the manu-
facturer, the jobber and the retailer
customary profits This is lartly a
reaction following the lifting of all
food control with the disbanding of
the food administrator.
"In New York City alone. during the
war, $500 dealers were found guilty
of profteering. Perhaps there is no
fragrant overcharging in any one cycle
of the food business, but with the
manufacturer, the wholesaler and the
retailer each exacting a little more
than their due, by the time the COM
modify reaches the consumer it shows
the earmarks of the petty overcharg-
ing"
Mr.. Williams declared that the new

but would specialize in the enforce
ment of -protiteering regulations.
The expenditure in the reestablisEment
Of the food administration would be
little or nothing compared with the
benefits derived by consumers, Mr.
Williams said.
Deputy Markets Commissioner Edwin
A. O'Malley, in charge of the sale of
army food by the city, confessed yes
terday with Captain A. A. Stewart, zone
the conference, the city is practically
assured of a large share of supplies to
be released in this zone. Mr.. O'Malley
will probably complete arrangements
on Monday for the purchase on con-
shipment Of between S8,OOOOOO and
s9.00000O worth of supplies.
Mr.. O'Malley yesterday was offered
5000 900 pounds of bacon by a Mr.
Lewis, of the Exporters and Importers
Company, at 3S cents pound. The ba-
con is Of high quality, according to
Mr.. Lewis, and is selling elsewhere
for higher prices. The prospect of
the release of the army stores has
not Influenced prices in any way, &C

Senators From Agricultural
States Hold Conference
Over Proposed Return
to Cut Cost of Living
Say Wheat Is Too Cheap
Also Charge That Growers
Are Defrauded by Under
grading of Their Grain
Ne,c York Tribune
WGshin Jtcu Bureau

" GSHlHJtou bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug 8-The high
cost-of-living emergency is due in large
part to misuse by the Administration
during the war of the power granted
by Congress over the nations food sup
ply, in the opinion of Senators from
agricultural states and officers of farm
organizations, who met to map out a
campaign Of resistance to any demand
for further government regulation Of
food products as a means of meeting
the crisis.
Senator Poindexter. of Washington,
summed up the opinion of the confer
ence.
"It would be impossible for Congress
to devise additional legislation that
would give the President more power -
he said. "The powers already granted
ought to be repealed. The present
emergency is largely due to mistaken
government action in the exercise of
gress."
The conference was called in antici-
patton Of recommendations by the
President in his address for further
regulatory legislation. 1t was agreed
that an active propaganda should be
undertaken to show that the farmer is
not making the nuge profits generally
supposed, and that he is in no way re-
sponsible for high food prices.
The United States Grain Corpora
tion's activities, both during and since
the war, were attacked BY Senators
from the agricultural states.
Say Wheat Is Graded Low
"The wheat crop will be only s0O,-
100000 bushels, instead of 1,250O00,0 900
bushels" Senator Gronna, chairman of
the Agricultural Committee, said.
With the grain corporations approval,
the wheat is being graded low. and the
farmer is getting a low price. This
marketed on a basis Of SO wheat"
Senator Capper, of Kansas, asserted
that wheat was being graded unfairly
and that the profits were going to the
miller and the operators of elevators
II have taken it up" said Senator
Curtis, of Kansas, with the head of
the United States Grain Corporation,
but have received no satisfaction"
The governmental guarantee on wheat
had been of no benefit to the farmer,
T. {. Atkeson, representative of the
National Grange, told the conference
The farmers were submitting to govern
iie!lt ieS uldlloll NOW oIly LOT Numanl-
tartan reasons" he said. Wheat would
go much higher, he believed, if prices
were based on supply and demand.
What Farmer Doesn't Want
1--WE should not permit further regu,
lation, said Charles A. Lyman, OF the
National Board Of Farm Organizations.
eve can't let them draw a red herring
across the trial at this time"
j. A. McSparrOn. master of the Penn
sylvanla State Grange, asserted that
the farmers have been misrepresented
before the public. The farmer is get
ting less than S226 for his wheat. Mr..
McSparron said, but manufacturers of
breakfast foods are being paid as much
at $36 bushel for their wheat prod
