CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-In an adj
dress delivered in this city today
before q gathering of district at
torneys from all parts of the coun-
try, called together to consider the
high cost of living, Federal Attor-
ney General Palmer made a strong
appeal TO the prosecutors to carry
out the plans outlined by the de-

campaign against the nations profit
GERS. He referred to the profiteers
as devils and urged the attorneys
to go after them.
Palmer advocated the appointment.
of fair price committees in every
community in the country, and he
called attention to the fact that the
women of the country could help
the Government materially by pur-
chasing only necessities until such
time as prices become normal. He
also urged the formation Of econo-
my clubs and the frequent holding
of conservation meetings as a means
of keeping the campaign constantly
before the people.
The Government, he said, is eager
to render such assistance as it can,
but it must have the cooperation of
the people themselves if the cam

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE United

Federal Judge K. NJ. Lands, who
has informed representatives of the
Detroit branch of the American le-
gion that it is not within his power
to issue an order preventing W. H
Haywood from speaking publicly a.
Detroit.
In explaining the limitation OF
his authority, Judge Lands said that
sit is the outrage of the century
that Haywood and others of his
kind in the United States must be
permitted to make public speeches. "
