PLAN 10 SLASH PRICES
The Program of the Presidents Ad-
visors Has Been Submitted TO
Hin,-May Go Before Congress-

Washington, Aug. 6.--Pres:dent
wilson. il was @announeedp a. the
White House, would go before con-
grrss within The next few days with
O definite program designed TO END
the h.gn cost II living.
The president held conference !h
more than a hour after the caslnet
meeting with Attorney General fal'
mer, The latter presented 10 him the
complete report and recommendations
of the cabinet subcommittee anu
number of these will be embodied an
the address the president is to maze
before congress.
Meanwhile the department OF just
ice. So Mr.. Palmer said, would begin
Its campaign against hoardefs, pfonC'
GERS and MASTERS of food. 1t Will pro-
coed under the penal sections OF the
food control act. The big event oil
the day was President WILSON'S con
ference with Attorney General Pal-
mer which was followed later by a
conference between the president ana
julius Barnes, head Of the United
States Grain corporation. The latter
meeting gave credence to the reports
that the president in his message
would undoubtedly suggest govern
mental acquisition of the wheattcrop'
together with a program to sell II 10
the American public for less than she
basic price of 1925 bushele e
The attorney general made puhllc
resume of the days activities as
far as his Office and the report SUB
mitted TO the president was concern
ed. He said:
"Therp was conference attended
by the members Of the cabinet SUD-
committee, with three additions,
Judge Ames, who is in charge of the
food control acts and, antitrust prose
cutions in the department OF justice;
former Governor Harding, of the fed
eraI reserve board, and Mr.. Barnes,
of the grain corporation.
I'VE prepared a memorandum or An
advisory nature for the president, in
which we stated that the govern
ment is doing and purposes to do IN
der existing laws. to meet the situa-
tion brought about by the high cost
of living.
"Some suggestions of possible adj
ditions to the law to cope with the
situation were made.
"The department Of justice Is u.s.
ing all of its machinery for the pur-
nose of seeking out viOlators of the
penal sections of thh food control act
the hoarders and the profit eeFs. I'VE
hope to be able to Reaction to teach
them a salutary lesson and one which
will have a good effect in reducing
the high cost of living"
Mr. Palmer refused to discuss fhe
possibility of the government eacqair-
ing the wheat crop. Earlier in the
day, however, he declared sgrain.~had
formed a large part Of thhe discussion
in his Office
One of the plans directly under
consideration is the creation of sys-
tenn of price control somewhat along
the lines now in use in Great Britain.
Officials familiar with the situation
said they were inclined to doubt
whether the people here would sub
NIT to actual price fixing as is done
In England.

MILL OWNERS SUE UNIONS
Shamokin Firm Proceeds Against the
Textile Workers.

exile workers.
Shamokin, Pa, Aug. 6.-Counsel for
J. II. & G. K. Eagle, Inc, owner of
silk mills here and at -Trevorton and
Kulpmont, whose 5000 employees have
been on strike for three months, ask
ed the Northumberland county court
to restrain the local officials and Miss
Mary Kelleher, national organizer of
the United Textile Workers of Amer
lea, and c. J. Golden, president of
district No. 9, United Mine Workers
of America, together with others Of
both labor organizations, from inter-
fering in any way with the operation
Of the company's mills.
Theh court is also asked to direct
judgment against the United Mine
Workers and Textile Workers in the
sum of 100000, which the silk cor
pOration alleges it has lost since the
strike was inaugurated
Judge Herbert W. Cummings, who
received the petition, granted the pre-
liminary Injunction, but made no de-
cision on the appeal for judgment.
The suit is d direct outcome of the
picketing of striking silk workers at
the Eagle properties last week, when
persons were halted on their way to
work and requested not to report to
the mill
Mine workers leaders contend that
the supreme court of the United
States has ruled that picketing is not
illegal so long as the picketers do not
encroach upon corporation property
Ind do not inaugurate boycott.

HUGE OVERDRAFT
AT WRECKED BANK:
Over 100000 Loaned With:
out Security,
MORE ARRESTS COMING
New Yorker Who is Big Debtor 70
Looted Philadelphia Bank Was
Bonded by Mayor Smiths Company.

Philadelphia, Aug. Ga mysterious
New Yorker overdrew his account at
the wrecked North Penn bank be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
This development overshadoWed all
others in the state probe OF who is
responsible for the $2,144,OOO loot1ng
of the wrecked institution and VINO
got the money.
The unnamed debtor, who may De-
come the much sought IMAM higher
NO." transferred the funds OF a large
estate from a New York bank to the
North Penn bank, and lndemnlneu
himself with bonds aggregatlng S5OO,-
GOO through the Thomas B. Smith
company, local agent for the National
Surety company OF New York. Mayor
Smith is president of the company
bearing his name.
The depositor then opened second
account, which, according to lnvestl-
gators, is overdrawn more than SSOo,-
900. Not penny of this amount is
covered by collateral, it is said.
The state investigators are anxious
to have the surety company assign
Yhe bonds to the state to cover the
loss. An agent of the National Sure
ty company was in conference with
the investigators TO learn the status
of the account.
The probers and William Morgan
Montgomery, counsel for Ralph L.
Mover, cashier, who is under $4,000
bail, are trying to get in touch with
the New Yorker.
Two other big developments We're:
A conference in the district at
torney's office on the subject OF
roundup of those implicated in the
bank crash; and the first step toward
restitution of the depOsitors' money,
in which Walter .. Colfiesh, the $25-a-
week general bookkeeper, transferred
practically all his property to the
state to cover $4,000 Overdraft
charged against motor sales COM
pany in which he is interested.
"Those guilty will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law said Dis
trict Attorney Rotan. Il want action.
/ feel ready for this job. We have
unlimited funds at our disposal to
press the case and we will run down
the perpetrators of this swindle.
ut will take some time, for we
must be sure of our ground. l admit
that it is the worst muddle 1 ever saw.
l have been advised of the progress
of the case by Mr.. Taulane, so that
it is not strange ground for me. How
ever, we are going to review the thing
from beginning to end and then we
will act"
Who was responsible for the crash
and who has the money? These are
the two big questions, that the confer
ence concerned itself about.
Hundreds of little homes that stood
in the shelter of the North Penn bank
have been stricken by the collapse of
that plundered establishment.
Old women, the sick and needy,
have seen their savings-the savings
of a lifetime in many cases-swept
away ia the mass of wreckage.

JAPAN TO RESPECT
RIGHTS OF CHINA
Win Not Infringe Her SOVer-
eighty in Shantung,.

Toxic, Aug. 6-Viscount Uchida,
thee Japanese foreign minister, in a
statement declares that Japan does
not intend to claim any rights affect
ing the territorial sovereignty of
China In Shantung.
He promises that the Japanese
troops will be Withdrawn Immediately
ana agreement is concluded with
China,
Japan, moreover, the foreign minis
ter's statement adds, is considering
the establishment at Tsingtao Of a
general foreign settlement, instead Of
purely Japanese settlement.
Agitation in the American congress
concerning Japan's attitude on the
Shantung question and intimations
that there exists a secret German
Japanese treaty is deplored by the
Jill Shimpo editorially.
The newspaper, usually moderate
in its utterances, condemns strongly
criticisms on japanese questions and
suggests that If they are political in
nature that they are "too dangerous
a weapon" and that "Japan, Ameri-
cas- traditional friend, is singled out
as If she were the successor Of Prus-
sianism against which she fought with
the allies
The newspaper emphasized the fact
that "the lack Of any Japanese ter
ritorial ambitions in China has been
definitely stated by the japanese
peace delegates and by the foreign
minister himself, more than once.
leaving no doubt in the mind Of any
fair and intelligent person that the
alleged German-Japanese treaty is a
malicious fabrication"
The agitation is characterized by
the newspaper "hasty, reckless and
unjust to Japan"
