DECLARES WAR ON

Stringent measures against short
weight Ice men will be taken by
authorities Of the District office Of

organized by Superintendent Roberts
Of that office.
ut lie my intention to ask in each
case of short-weight ice the heaviest
penalty that the case warrants.'' de-
,clared Mr.. Roberts today. Mr.. Roberts

the heaviest penalty in all cases Of

A corps OF inspectors has been
working ION the short-wefght Ice
situation for. several days. twas
stated, and whore. reports show that
"a dealer, IL making practice OF short
weighing it; was assured that the case
will be brought to court.
Regarding excessive prices charged
for Ice in some Communities by deal
ers who were not regular customers
Of ice, manufacturers, an explanation
wac made by Health /oficer Fowler
The; cases cited were those in which
ice was taken trom storage. involving
a considerable, cost per. ton. for. re-
moving It from the, storehouse and
hauling. The, cost was principally In the
labor required and the facilities for
transporting the ice. This was neces-
sary only inthe cases whore dealers
other than those who regularly Sc
cured ice from the manufacturing
plant applied.
The Ice was in addition to that
which could be obtained at the factory
platform, for which the cost Of ex-
traction from storage and hauling
was eliminated. In such cases the cost
of ice, was placed at $3.50 or 81 per
ton. thereby giving rise to rumors Of
profiteertng. whereas, 1t was claimed,
very small profit was forthc9mfng
after the Ice had been taken from
storage and hauled.

Saving to Be Shared.
Advises Congress to
Proceed Calmly With
Railroad investigation

William A. Wimbish of Atlanta,
special counsel for the Southern TrAf-
&c League, told the House interstats
commerce committee today 1t should
sit tight and proceed with ihvestiga-
ton of the railroad problem Just a. u
organized labor had not demanded tri-
partite control of the roads.
Unless you are working on plan
which includes the return of the ROADS
to private management, what / may
say to you will be of no value WHAT
ever" Mr.. wimbish said before TAX
ing up his general statement. The
eerfoueness of the whole railroad
question seemed to be reflected in the
close attention paid by members ~
the committee to the attack by the
witness on the proposal of organized
labor.
In No Position to Help.
1T you are going to adopt governs
ing to surrender to the demands made
upon (which is unthinkable-and
lie down supinely and let one class
dictate. then I am in no position to
help. I don't believe you will. / be-
lieve there is enough patriotism.
to be stampeded and intimidated and
forced to do things that fail to meet
its approval I cannot believe that
these extremely radical propositions
represent even the thought of intelli-
gent workingmen."
Mr.. Wimbish said he realized that
organized labor was patriotic during
the war.
"But I know" he added, that you
are infinitely better prepared to con-
slider these railroad problems than -
organized labor, and il you do get In
Inundated or stampeded your people
will not stand behind you. 1t is just
as well to look the situation squarely
in the face. The only way to deal
threats. and with the single thought
of determining what IL best for the
whole country-not for one class"
Asks Mr.. Wimbish's Opinion. y
Tennessee, who introduced on Satuf-
day. the Plumb plan bill. and who
stated he had done this just as he
would have presented any other =
measure by request, wanted to know
what Mr.. Wimbish thought of 500
called demands by capital in framing
general railroad bill, referring to !
the request for. p Z. per cent return On
investments.
This committee or this Congress
should not surrender to capital any
more than 1t should surrender to

best for all the people, and don't BE-
intimidated and don't be stampe1ed
