SUSPICIOUS RISES CITED
Special Despotch 10 THE sux.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24-The Railroad
Administration has sent confidential
Instructions to all regional and other
purchasing officers of the railroads
under Government control worning
them against becoming victims of a
wild or runaway lumber market.
While the letter does not directly in
die. the lumber industry, a series OF
price incidents are cited which give
the Impression that the situation is
viewed with some suspicion. One of
these incidents has to do with a diff
ference of SIS a thousand feet on lum-
Der quoted to two railroads in the same
territory. and another has to do with
an increase in price of certain lumber
$3.50 a thousand feet in one day. after,
1t is stated. 1t became known that the
Railroad Administration was putting
cut the bids asked.
Purchasing agents are told that they
should use unusual care in making any
lumber purchases, and are warned OF the
deficit in operating revenues, the neces-
sity for conservation Of available fund,
and against paying pSces that are not
deemed fair.
1t is understood that the Railroad Ad'
ministration and the various railroads
have large stocks OF lumber on hand an6
there is scant necessity for immediate
purchase except in emergency. There IL
no intention, il is understood, of boycot
ting the lumber market at this time, bu
that the Railroad Administration feel'
that its agents should guard against being
filched by any concern.
Director General Hines has had sew
eral recent conferences with Attorney
General Palmer. 1t is stated emphat
ically, however. that these conferences
had nothing to do with the lumber situa
ton or with s'eel prices quoted TO thu
Railroad Administration.

WAsHINoToN, Aug. 24.-Heavy fines
and long prison sentences for thou
sands OF prohteers and hoarders
throughout the country are the only
means of bringing about an immediate
reduction in the cost of living, the
House Appropriation Committee has
decided.
To carry out this programme the
committee practically has agreed to
give the Department OF Justice all the
money 1t reasonably can spend in the
prosecution of a vigorous campaign
against those responsible for the pres
en-. unwarranted prices. At the same
time sentiment in the committee,
while strongly in favor OF the drastic
prosecutions, is opposed practically
unanimously to the granting Of money
to other departments for the carrying
out OF their pet plans for reducing the
cost of living.
with all the additional authority for
prosecutions and punishment Of price
gougers that Attorrey-General Palmer
has asked already voted by the House,
the Appropriations Committee is con-
sidering the requests of the department
for additional funds amounting to about
s4,5o0,o00 submitted with the plea that
the money Is needed to reduce the pres
ent prices OF commodities. OF this
amount the Department of Justice has
asked s2,4oo,ooo, most Of which, Mr..
Palmer says is to be used in employing
more operatives. marshals and special
attorneys to prosecute the proftteers.
"Treat EN- Rough" Says Good.
Chairman Good trowa) said tonight
he was certain the committee would
favor the employment of this extra force
and give the department all possible aid
IN bringing all the Federal Government g
powers in action to combat the gougers,
"This is not the time TO try out lot
