PLEDGE OF WHEAT PRICE
AN APPROPRIATION TO CARRY
OUT THE AGREEMENT
LARGE sum NECESSARY
Measure Calls For More Than
Billion Dollars From the
Treasury

Washington, Jan. 29.-The food adj
ministration has transmitted to the
chairmen of the senate and house agri-
cultural committees a bill appropriate
ing $780, 100000 to enable the gov
eminent to carry out it's guarantee to
the farmer Of price of 1920 bushel
for the 1919 wheat crop.
The measure, which was drawn by
officials of the Food Administration
and the Department of Agriculture,
was described by some senators as an
omnibus measure which would permit
the President to continue the Food
Administration in operation and to eX-
ercise all of the powers conferred upon
him by the food control act.
Senator Gore, chairman of the SEN
ate committee, announced that he
would not introduce the measure in
the senate.
1T is broader than think is neces-
sary," he declared. Il may take it
as basis for another bill which I
may introduce"
Powers Would Continue.
Under this bill as drawn, govern
ment authority to control grain deal
ers, millers and elevators by license
or other like powers" would be con-
tinued and the President would be au-
thorized to create any agency or
agencies" to buy the 1918 and 1919
wheat crops, wheat products and 9TH
ers foodstuffs and feeds" at the guar
anteed price, regulate export and i'm
port OF wheat. require preferential
railroad service as long as the rail-
roads are under government control
control grain exchanges and prohibit
trading upon them at such time or
times as may be deemed desirable or
proper to meet market conditions and
competitive prices of foreign grown
wheat and to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be deemed neces-
sary to protect the government of the
United States from paying the guar
anteed prices aforesaid for any wheat
other than that covered by proclama-
& addttfpn the Prssiqept, Though
the agency he would designaf Z. Gould
also sell, either domestically or by ex-
port, wheat. wheat products or by-prod-
ucts at profit or loss, las in, the
judgment of such agency may be
necessary"
He also could lease, buy or requisi-
ton storage space and prescribe the
terms to be paid for it.
In transmitting the measure to the
committee, Chairman William A. Glas-
cow, Jr., chief counsel for the Food
Administration, wrote that the legisla-
ton was requested in order to main.
tain the guarantees in their integrity
to the farmer and to. save the treasury
of the United States from loss if that
be possible"

LOSES HIS Wire FIGHT

CABLES NOT IAFFECTfD
Resolution will Bg Reported To
The House BY chairman
Moor

Washington, Jan. 29k-Under reso-
luton ordered favoratly reported by
the house postoffice cpmmittee, by a
vote of 10 to s, government control of
telephone and telegraph properties
would end Dec 81, 1919.
Chairman Moon said he would pre-
sent the measure in the house and ask
for rule to give it right of way. The
resolution made no mention of cable
properties and that pAase of the sit.
uation was not discussed. Members
later expressed varying opinions as
to the effect of the LEGISLATION on fed
eral control of these nrpperties which
was assumed by preeidential procla.
nation last November 16r the au.
thority given in the or11 ire con.
troll resolution passed sfese In
J.iy rs. ss'k<ss Z.
Cable Properties Unaffected.
Chairman Moon said the new legis.
lation would not affect the original law
insofar as it applied to cable proper
ties, control of which would have to
be relinquished with the issuing of a
proclamation, by the President an
nouncing the signing of the treaty of
peace and it's ratification. Other MEM
bers expressed different view, based
upon the fact that the cable proper
ties were controlled by the telegraph
companies. They thought control OF
the cables would be automatically ex
tended. There were still other com
mitteemen who believed the question
would have to be settled in the courts
Various dates for termination OF
control of the telephone and telegraph
companies were suggested after the
committee had concluded it's hearings
on the original administration meas
ure by examining Postmaster General
Burleson. The first proposal was for
restoration of the properties to pri
vate management next May 80, bu:
this and another to extend the time
to Dec. 81, 1920, were voted down.
AS introduced by Chairman Moon
the resolution authorized the postmas
ter general to negotiate contracts for
the purchase of telephone companies
and to have an appraisement made of
the telegraph properties, but these
provisions were stricken out.
Mr. Burleson and other proponents
of the legislation insisted that the
purpose was to extend the period OF
control and not to bring about gov
eminent ownership.

THE strike is the most serious ever

the correspondent writes. Belfast is
like dead city. It's entire social life

taurants are closed and evening ser.
vices cannot be held by the churches
Railway stations are lighted with
naphtha lamps, but in their homes the
people depend upon candles. Should
the candle supply fail there will be a
plague of darkness.
THE main cause of the trouble lies
in the fact that the workers in cleo
trio and gas plants have Joined the
shipyard workers in demanding a 40
hour week. Things are in such a state
of chaos that change must come
soon. Grave diggers have Joined the
