"T am going to investigate today the

state of Pennsylvania I will arrest the

Emergency Aid did not fall down
whehfft came time TO reach a decision
concerning the sale of the government
foods being shipped here. The director
stated that the announcement that the
food was to be sold at Gimbels had
caused a rumor that the Emergency
Aid aides were not capable of conduct

I. ''By last night 100 aides had volun
teered for the work." the director said
''and that many more would have signet
up within a few days.

Aid officials arrange with the Gimbe

there and learn exactly how such Gus

would be of great value to the volurtce

Would Limit Time Of Storage
Explaining his bill. Senator Nickel
lar said it would limit the time foods
could be held in cold storage and has
been vigorously opposed by the pack =
ers.
Citing recent statistics of the federal
trade commission Of food held in cold
storage, Senator McKellar said they
showed vast increases over the amounts
stored last year.
"Some middleman," said Mr.. Nc
Kellar, ''is making 66 2-3 per cent
profit on eggs alone" Eggs particu
larly, he asserted, are monopolized.
''They are in the hands of the most
giant monopoly there is in the world,
he said.
Present cold storage practices also
are a menace to public health, Senator
McKellar declared, asserting that meat
and poultry often are held too long in
storage.

pecially the administration supporters,
BY the lengths to which it went in con-
dcmnation of the treaty.
It was said today that the chairman
of the foreign relations committee had
swung rather over to the irreconcilabes
than to the mild reservationists like
Senators Kellogg and McCumber. But
the speech merely reflected Mr.. Lodges
confidence in obtaining resolution in
favor Of strong reservations from his
committee. Probably it also expressed
the senator's indignation at the failure
of his committee to obtain documents
and other information from the White
House.

Charles j. Hepburn. this city, who
was chief counsel for the Pennsylvania
food administration. expressed the opin
ion today that Mr.. Cooke refrained from
resuming his former duties because
there was no law to support him.
Mr.. Hepburn also stated that the so
called fair price" committee would
be of no Use unless the committee is
supported by drastic legislation that
would permit prosecutions.
"NIr. Cooke established an excellent
reputation when he was here before, 3"
Mr.. Hepburn said. During the war
he or any of his hundred or moro aides
could 20 into a store and demand that
the looks be shown. In this way they
were able to get evidence Of prohteering.
At the present time, however, there
is absolutely no legislation to permit
this work.
Wholesalers to Blame
The real prOfitpering TODAY Is among
the wholesalers, Mr.. Hepburn said.
adding that he did not think it advisable
to GO after the individual ''hoarder OF
food. " The ones responsible for present
high prices are the packers, he said,
who hold the stock from the markets
to regulate the market prices.
While the food administration was in
power, before February. the price of
-four was regulated. Mr.. Hepburn took
this as an example. A wholesaler was
allowed a profit of fifty cents on a
barrel Of -four, and the retailer was al &.
lowed one cent n pound profit. Now,
Mr.. Hepburn says. if one wholesaler in
| -four runs short. he goes to another
wholesaler. lie buys -four from the
other house. paying the other man a
fifty. cent profit Then. when the pur :
chasing wholesaler sells to the retailer,
he insists upon his fifty cent profit.
Mr.. Hepburn cited another thing
that he thought might keep Mr.. Cooke
or any other members of the wartime
administrations from resuming their
| former duties.

Report to Favor Ratification

Many considerations will force an
agreement among the members of the
foreign relations committee upon reser-
vations and a report in favor of the
ratification of the treaty. In the first
Mace a failure to agree would be
serious reflection upon the competence
of the Republican majority in Congress
to transact the nations business.
Again it would be an equal refec-
ton upon the Senate and the commit
tee If the movement for a compromise
which should lead to the final adop-
ton Of the treaty came not from the
Senate foreign relations committee, but
from a group of senators like the mod
crate seven outside that committee.
The members of the foreign relations
committee are senators and have
pride in the Senate They are seeking
to restore the legislative branch in pub
lie esteem. Endless wrangling over the
treaty and final failure to agree upon
any report would tend to discredit the
Senate.
Then. as a point of tactics, the real
effort toward a compromise will begin
when the Senate foreign relations COM

U. S. TO SUE CEMENT TRUST
Action to Dissolve Combine VIII 81
6rouuht In New Jersey

Washington, Aug. 13.-(By A. P)
"A suit in equity to dissolve the
cement combination" was announced
today by Attorney General Palmer.
The action is to be brought in the
district Of New Jersey against nineteen
individual companies.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-13

mittee makes its report. To obtain
two thirds majority for the treaty the
Democrats must unite with consider
able portion of the Republicans.
ANY reservations which come from
the foreign relations committee will be
stiff. Used as working basis for a
compromise with the Democrats, they
will result in securing greater conces-
sions from the White House than would
the mild reservations favored by the
moderate seven.
The lrreConcilable members of the
foreign relations committee are sen.
sble Of this advantage in putting
forth program which will become
the basis Of compromise. Those who
wish to defeat the treaty are aware
that they will fail and even if in the
end they vote against it. they wish
to sec II amended as much as possible
before it's adoption.
The Democrats have been hoping
and still hope that the foreign rela-
tions committee will fail to agree upon
reservations and will report the treaty
without recommendations. Such a
cause would leave the situation indis-
putably in tho hands of the moderate
seven. who would be the only group
of Republicans showing any capacity
for cohesion.
The administration forces approach
ing the moderate seven would secure a
more favorable compromise than they
could If tho Republican strength gathers
about the stiff rcscrvationists of the
foreign relations committee. The Demo
Gratis nav realize their hope. The situa
tion is not clear.
II will be difficult to effect an agree
mcnt among the Republicans in the
committee, but present indications are
that the consideration just described
will prevail and that a report will be
agreed upon.
WatChfuI Waiting Policy
In to the present the Democrats
under the lead Of Senator Hitchcock
have merely waited for the situation in
the foreign relations committee to de-
velon They are still waiting. What
reservations they will accept in the
name Of the President have been kept
carefully in the dark.
Officially they oppose all reservations
and insist that the treaty shall be
adopted without change. But every
one knows that the President is ready
to compromise. All he wishes to know
is who has the requisite votes to put
the treaty through.
When the foreign relations committee
reports it may still be a question
whether the Democrats will seek to
make terms with the moderate seven
or with Mr.. Lodges committee un =

self of the support of the moderates

would deny railroad men the right Ia
strike, and that such prohibition
would bring on revolution, as the
workers cannot have their rights
abridged thus.
| The threat of revolution is little
too lightly used in these days. This
country is farthest from revolution
| of any nation on earth, and no bill
passed. by congress could possibly
precipitate an armed revolution for
not necessary to correct bad ligis-
ton in this country.
If congress should pass the Cum
Minis bill, which seems unlikely
there would be no revolution Mir.
Stone and his associates OF the
Brotherhoods would be among the
first to decry any such movement
and would inevitably be found on the
side of the country against any who
would tear it to pieces in bloody con-
dict. No question of strike or no
strike involving any class of persons
is important enough to cause destruc-
ion of the republic.
If the Cummins bill were passed
with a provision against striking, the
railroad men simply would go ahead
and strike if they thought best. Amy
such law would be dead letter. as
no government would be guilty O
the folly of trying to enforce it.
At the next session of consl ess the
bill would be repealed, whether there
had been a strike while it was nomi
nally in force or not.

by the American congress to tall

tage of every opportunity to use his

tration. 1t would seem that he is
thus violating the primary rules of
military life in order to get himself
fired from the service, SO that he

We may be wrong about the gen
erals intentions, but there are some
very good bits of evidence to back
up the supposition here set forth
General Wood now is preaching
against the League of Nations Also
he is talking in the same speech
about the American Legion in such
way as to give the impression that
the Legion must necessarily stand
for the things in which Wood be:
lieves as opposed to the things in
which Wilson believes. This ap-
pears to be very unfortunate pro-
paganda for making the Legion
political football Every former sol
der with the interest of the Legion
at heart will resent any such pro-
paganda. The American Legion. in
order to be useful must be non-par
tisan in politics, for partisanism
would assuredly split it into frag
ments and spell it's ruin. The men
in charge of the destinies of the Lee
gion should give emphatic notice
hat playing politics with the Legion
or under the pretense of helping the
Legion, will not be tolerated.
General Wood has a perfect RICH
to run for the presidency, and if be
runs he will not be without enth9
siastic supporters. But he should
not make his campaign as if he were
doing it under the auspices OF the
army and the American Legion.

gress the president made certain
pledges. and now he is going before

lodges and went enthusiastically in

lg the people to support him i'll his
fforts to redeem the pledges he made
The president reminds us that it
vas a terrible war. He remind: u
hat over seven million men died il
)attle, and that the cost to the Unit
d States alone was more than =
lillion dollars an hour for over two
ears.
The question now is, shall all TIN
expenditure of life and treasure have
1een in vain, so far as the common
people are concerned? Are the PEG
de merely to have the privilege OF
paving the taxes for hundred years
more. for the benefit of certain mu
1ition makers, profiteers and kings
Are we to be cheated out OF til
things Woodrow Wilson told us We
were fighting for? Are America
lives to be thrown away to setu'
Iuarrels between and among k1n3
md rulers of countries and banks
Or are the pledges of the presideni
to be made good? Is the world to b'
made safe for democracy? Are gov
9rnments to be made responsible
to the people who live under then

nents to continue to be the lmnos'

country?
Mr.. Wilson is not afraid Of his
promises. He even reads the speec
n which he made his pledges az
lsks the people to help him r1aK'
