Chicago. August l5-Federal officials today continued their search for food hoarders and profiteers among whole- saers and retailers. The secrecy with whicl. the movements of the authorities are enveloped is no indication that the federal workers are slowing up in their campaign. Assistant District Attorney R. A. Milroy said. On the other hand he hinted at seizures of sugar stores and other commodities in the near future.
 Although prices in many commodities are going down as the investigation pro- gresses.' he said, that does not mean that the profiteers will be able to escape responsibility for their dealings in the past. Prosecution will not be forestaled by sudden lowering of prices"

nr wI1L1AM [. GoRMLE1

Montgomery. August (special) Representatives engaged in warm and interesting debate for a hour or more Friday when J. Lee Long of Butler county. insisted that his resolution, re- lating to activities of labor unions in the country. be adopted under the sus- pension of rules. The rules committee reported the resolution favorahly, and the author asked that rules be suspend ed and that the measure be adopted. Opposition developed all over the house. Union labor men, hearing the resolu- ton would come up. crowded the gal leries and cheered loudly until Speaker Merritt instructed that there be quiet ness. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 10 to IT.
 The resolution instructed the repre- sentatives and senators of Alabama to insist upon legislation not dictated by certain classes of people and backed by certain organizations. It doubted whether capital was more dangerous than la Dor in the, country and recalled that President Wilson, in a speech sev- eral years ago. had stated that la bor unions were dangerous to the country.
