Fears Serious Situation.
Declaring O serious situation might
result thru inability of the government
to exercise its war powers in dealing
with the coal strike. Attorney General
Palmer urged the house COMMITTEES on
agriculture to approve the bill ex-
lending the food and fuel control act
for six months after the proclamation
OF peace.
Members >of the committee showed q
reluctance to do this unless It proves
imperative and suggested amendment
of the act in such a way as to extend
the particular powers desired. but 20
omit from further regulation az many
classes Of business as possible.
Mr.. Palmer objected to this plan on
the ground that 1t would involve dis
criminatton. He said the simplest plan
would be to extend the entire act.
4 Cites Provisions Of Act.
~This bill provides for one thing
3o extend all Of the provisions Of .he
Lever. food control act for six months

attorney general said. Under :hs law

lawful viii become lawful
.ThS conditions following peace
make il. even more necessary that

tinued than tho conditions that pre-.
vailed 81 the war itself.
