Senators Say Wilson
Is to Blame for
High Cost of Liuing

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O.--"Profteers
are running mad in this country" SEN
ator Harrison, Democrat Of Missis-
sippi, declared to-day in the Senate in
seeking to have the oil leasing bill laid
aside so that consideration might be
given to the amendments to the food
control act suggested by Attorney
General Palmer to combat the high
cost Of living.
This country expects the Senate
to act" shouted the Mississippi Sena-
tor. 1T seeing to me that this food
control bill should be passed quickly
if we are going to give any relief to
the country"
Senator'S La Toilette and Lenroot,
Republicans, Wisconsin, in opposing
the proposal, said President Wilson
had ample power under existing law
and charged that his failure to enforce
the law against private monopoly was
largely responsible for increased liv-
ing costs.

Extrauagant Public
Is Blamed for High
Cost of Necessaries

CHICAGO, Aug. 3o.-Strict economy
and increased production are suggested
as remedies for the present high cost
Of living by H. A. N. Daily, presiden,
of the National Canned Foods and
Dried Fruit Brokers' Association, in a
letter to the public issued here to-day.
Speaking Of the extravagant habits
of all classes, he says: a question
whether there ever was q time in this
country when there was less real dis
tress and suffering. The only known
distress is the inability to satisfy the
extravagant tastes and desires Of the
times: Ask any butcher who is tax
ing the most expensive cuts of beef
and ignoring the less expensive ones,
and he will almost invariably tell you
that the sales are being made to those
who should be exercising economy"
In conclusion, he declares: "All
economists and others who have studied
the situation are agreed that the one
positive need is for increased produc-
ton.
"ln no other way can We hope to
see normal conditions resumed and
prices lowered"

Food Sales Total 1920, 600
More than fifty thousand dollars
worth of army food was sold in two
hours yesterday, the schools opening
at ten IN the morning and closing at
noon A total Of $42O,O0O worth of
foodstutfs has been sold since the op-
eh'ng OF the sale, it was estimated
Yesterday. DR.. Jonathan c. Day, Com
missioner Of Markets, declared yester-
day that the stores are being stocked
up tor smashing business on Tues
DAY. The new commodities purchased
!oy the city, dried fruits and jam, will
be offered for sale then, he said.
FOR three or four hours yesterday
II appeared as If Western candled eggs
might be sold at the schools for SO
cents dozen. II. A. Emerson, of II. w.
tombstone, Inc. agent for Western ship
pers' offered to sell to the city on con.
signment fifty carloads of eggs at 40
cents dozen. There are 100000 dozen
eggs in fifty cars.
The otter was reported to DR.. Day.
who seemed interested until he learned
that Mr.. Emerson was making the
offer
The fact that this proposition comes
from H. A. Emerson makes me desire
further information" Dr. Day said.
Mr. Emerson has a history in the
TODD business, particularly in butter
and eggs. He was connected in the
poultry business with Senator WILL
lam NJ. Bennett, now candidate for
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent of the Boalsl OF Aldermen. Mr..
bennett was president oc the Live
Poultry Auction Company and Mr. EN-
erson was vce-president. The purpose
OF the Live Poultry Auction Company
was to boost the price of poultry to
consumers and lower the price to ship
pers in the West"
DR.. Day pointed out that for the city
to deal in foodstuffs, except as an
agent Tor the government, would be
a violation Of the charter. He added
that the one cent margin suggested
by Emerson would not be sufficiently
large.
Wholesale dealors in butter and
eggs said Yesterday that the egg mar
ket is ove"Stocked at present and that
Shippers are willing to dispose of large
shipments at fairly low prices.

Republicans Charge
Political PrOfteeri;nc

The Kings County Republican Com
mittee yesterday charged that in the
sale of army food the Democratic Ad-
ministration at Washington had placed
the distribution of the food in Brook
Ign in the hands of Democratic wom-
ems organizations to the exclusion of
Republican women.
This was intended to give the sug-
gestion," the committee added, chat
the lower prices obtained by purchas-
ers are obtained by peculiar favor of
the local Democratic organization. We
believe that such methods will react
on those who employ them"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-A cold
storage bill making twelve months the
maximum length of time that food may
be held in cold storage, and providing
for complete Identification Of cold stor-
age foods, will be presented to the
House within the next week or ten
days, Chairman Haugen of the House
day.
Hearings on the bill were closed and
the committee began the actual work
of drafting to-day. The salient points
of the new bill, which will entertain
suggestions made by Dr.. Harvey w.
Wiley and others, who appeared before
the committee, will be as follows.
/. Twelve months limit on cold
storage food.
2. No price marking.
3. Labelling of all cold storage
food, to identify it and show how
long it has been stored at different
places.
L. Prohibition of shipment in in
the Department of Agriculture shall
declare to have been kept under i'm
proper storage conditions.
5. Seizure and sale by the courts
Of any food stored more than twelve
months.
Chairman Haugen indicated, however,
that because the committee does not
think it wise to attempt to reach food
sold in interstate commerce by the
taxing power, the bill will affect only
food sold in interstate commerce. 1t
will be up to the individual states. he
said, to back up this act with local
enactments to protect the public from
price gougers latter the food has left
the original package"
The provision of twelve months for
storage was decided upon, he said, in
spite of the statement that meats, for
example, would not be kept more than
four or five months, in order to leave
plenty of margin for a years storage
1t is known that meat may be kept in
be in large plants where SURPRISES are
held more than four months to meet
lean production periods
There probably will be one exception
to the twelve months period, Chairman
Haugen indicated. This will permit
certain brands Of cheese to be held
longer. since more than year is re-
quired for certain kinds of cheese to
"ripen' to suit the taste of the trade.
The strongest feature Of the BILL
members believe, is that
which will give the consumer COM
plete history of cold storage food when
he buys it. Eggs probably will be
stamped individually as to when they
were put into storage, and with every
removal of cold storage an addition
will be made to the commercial pedi-
gree Of the commodities.
