BARNES DEFENDS WORK
OF GRAIN CORPORATION

New York, Aug. 17.-Julius H. Barnes,
United States wheat director. made pub
lie tonight a letter which he sent Sen
tor Gronna, chairman of the senate agri-
culture committee. in reply to a state
ment issued on Aug - by Senator Gron-
na criticiZing Mr.. Barnes and the United
States grain corporation fortheir admin
istration Of the wheat guarantee act
In reply to the charge of Senator Gron-
ma that owing to manipulation in ad-
ministering the grades and standards to-
gether with the damage done by hot
weather to the maturing crops, the wheat
producers are receiving as low as ST IL
per bushel for their wheat, not the s. O5
which Mr. Barnes gives as a theoretical
average, and that this years crops NAV
average not over S1.50 per bushel."
Mr.. Barnes says that out Of 10000. 900
bushels Of wheat marketed in the south
west since July j the grain corporation
records fail to show even 1000 bushels
priced at $1.15 and that out of 10000
carloads Of wheat received in Kansas
City only six cars sold below S. and
the lowest was $1.92. He also says that
less than 6 per cent has sold below the
standard price of $2.11 for No. g.
"As to the $2O5 which Mr.. Barnes
gives as theoretical average" Mr..
Gronnas letter continued "The depart
ment of agriculture gives monthly the
actual average farm price received by
the grower, including actual prices for
damaged and inferior qualities" These
official reports allow the following cal
culations:
"Crop of 1917 = 423 100000 bushels
marketed at average grower price of
$2.02.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE
vast subway and elevated sys-

Manhattan, the Bronx and parts
of Brooklyn and Queens, were
paralyzed today by a strike
called last night by J. J. Con-
molly, acting president of the
Brotherhood Of 1nterborough
Rapid Transit employees. The
day passed without violence.
The tie-up, which began with the re-
fusal Of crews to start runs from the
car barns. became absolute at a. m,
until the late trains sent out before
o'clock presented their rounds. were
shunted into the barns and abandoned
at that hour. strikers in the Inter

THE weighed average for the two
crops is S2.O459 and the basis for this
statement.
''As to the producer not receiving the

In view of this, the anxiety that this

seems premature"
Referring to the operation of the
wheat guarantee, Mr. Barnes adds:
The producer apparently is satisfied
with his treatment for we have received
in our offices less than 100 appeals
against grade or price offered.
AS to the suggestion that the grain
corporation prices on damaged wheat

NEW ACTIONS AGAINST
HOARD|NC EXPECTED
Prosecutions Against Food Spec
ulators to Be Started in
Many States.

Washington. Aug 17.-The govern
ment's efforts to reduce the cost of liv-
ing is expected to result in action in
many states this week to force hoard
ed food on the market. while congress
is debating legislation dealing with the
question.
Reports to Attorney General Palmer
have indicated that instructions to dis
trict attorneys to proceed vigorously in
the enforcement of the food control law
were being obeyed literally.
Instances of the seizure of the food
stuffs in ST. Louis. Chicago Kansas
City. San Diego, and the south, officials
here believe. will be multiplied in the
next few days. Mr.. Palmer will so TO
New York tomorrow u confer with the
fair price committee for that purpose.
Senate and house agriculture commit
tees probably will report this week on
amendments to the food control law Civ
ing criminal penalty which hitherto
has been lacking and expanding the law
to cover clothing. Cold storage legisla-
ton also may be acted on by the house
Interstate commerce committee.
Consideration of requests by several
departments for appropriations to car
ry on work in reduction of living costs
will be inaugurated tomorrow.
Hearings also will be started tomor-
row by the senate interstate commerce
committee on the Kenyon kendrick bills
to license meat packers. w. Is. Coiver.
member of the federal trade commits
sion, will be the first witness.
