IS READY
FOR PROF|TEERS.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Is
PREPARED TO ENFORCE PRO-
POSED LEGISLATION.
Reports That Progress Made So Far
Is Most Gratifying, Considering
That Laws Requested Have Not
Yet Been Placed on Statutes.

~ WashingtOn.-In anticipating that
legislation to stop pfofiteering soon
will become effective. the department
of justice is putting the final touches
to its plans for procedure when the
new weapons are available.
Attorney General Palmer on Mon
day called meeting of the conferees
who took the cost OF living problem
under advisement nearly three months
age.
After review of the progress made
SO far. which was said to be very graf.
flying considering that none of the
laws requested of congress have been
placed on the statute books, the con-
ference discussed new steps to be TAX
en- when the real campaign" is start
ed. Officials declined to indicate what
they ha0 in mind, but 1t is known that
Attorney General Palmer is prepared
to proceed vigorously In a number of
individual cases.
Another conference is to be held
when Secretaries Baker AMI Daniels
are expected to attend ara to advise
concerning the release Of surplus food
stuffs still held by the military de-
partments of the government. Sec
rotary Baker has cancelled instruc-
lions for the distributing of sugar held
by the army. on learning that the sup
ply was available for only two and
one-half months Ia advance.
Planning to take the public into his
confidence concerning, action against
the cost of living, Attorney General
Palmer will make a number of trips
into adjoining states. beginning the
latter part of this month.

accordance with his rights IS to per-
manent physical disability.
And moreover the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance is making every effort
not only to expedite the handling of
cases already presented, but to bring
to tho attention OF men discharged
because OF physical disability their
rights and privileges under the law.
approximately 100000 men who
had not yet seen service abroad were
discharged as physically unfit for con-
tinued military service before the
signing of the armistice. A very large
percentage Of these men were un-
aware of their rights under the law
and had presented no claim for COM
pensation. The Bureau of War Risk
Insurance, unwilling to allow the ig-
nOrance of the law to prevent any
man who had worn the uniform of the
United States to prevent that man re-
ceiving his just dues, has been at
work on persistent campaign to
bring these men to present their
claims to compensation. A good
share Of this work has been done by
the Home Service Sections of the
American Red Cross which is turning
over to the War Risk Bureau all cases
which have been receiving Red Cross
assistance and which properly belong
to the Compensation Division of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
Besides all this, q recent ruling of
the Bureau allows q period of one
year after discharge for the disability
as the result of military service to
make itself manifest. A service man
discharged as in physically perfect
condition may at the time be suffer-
ing from an incipient ailment trace
able to his military service. II at any
time within the year following dis
charge such physical disability be-
comes manifest, and upon medical ex-
animation 1t may be traced to mill
tary duty, free medical treatment,
and compensation are allowed during
the continuance of the malady.

Compensation Payment Not Affected
By Increased Earning Capacity

An increase Of earning capacity
through re-education does not AFFECT
the payment of compensation to q
ngnting man who suffered permanent
0lsaDility as result Of his military
service.
That statement is one of many
which can be made in proof of the
nDeral provisions OF the War Risk
Act which has been Justly called "the
most generous piece Of legislation
ever enacted on the statute books of
Q grateful Nation"
Under the provisions and interpre-
tation Of the compensation clause OF
the War Risk Act, payment of COM
Densation 10 based on the fact of dis
ability as q result of military service,
and II there exists permanent physi-
cai disability. as for instance, the loss
OF an arm or leg. compensation will
90 paid regardless of the fact that the
disabled man may be able through
re-education to earn vastly larger
income than he received previous to
his war service.
As for instance, q chap may have
been . railroad brakeman before en-
tering military service. He has come
out, unfortunately. with q leg ampu-
tauon. His disability compensation
VIII be paid accordingly. But in the
