Washington. - Determined to re-
duce the increasing cost of living De-
partment Of Justice agents in all
parts of the country have been IN
structed to report all violations OF the
Lever food control act and to ferret
out all hoarders and profiteers in
foodstuffs.
The announcement by Attorney
General Palmer that after a two
hours conference with President Will
son was the first indication of the
plan to be pursued by the government
in meeting the nationwide request
for relief from high prices.
Not only will all existing law be
used, The attorney general said, but
serious consideration Is being given
to possible additional laws considered
necessary to meet the situation.
Enforcement of the food control
act, hitherto lodged with the legal de
partment of the food administration,
will be taken over by the Department
Of Justice, Mr.. Palmer said. Prosecu-
tions will be ordered in all cases OF
boarding, profiteering and other uu
fair practices punishable under the
act.
In reply to questions as to whether
the president had authority to restore
wheat to free market, the attorne ~
general said:
81 think the Grain Corporation has
some such authority. but think you
are going too far in specializing along
that line"
Director Barnes of the United
States Grain Corporation said after q
conference with President Wilson
that he had made no recommends
lions to the president as to the hand
ling of this years wheat crop.

road unions, in expressing to Direc-
tor General Hines their disapproval
of President Wilson's proposal that

slider increased pay, declared that
wage questions must be settled i'm
mediately.
A general program to meet the
present crisis was submitted to the
director general. 1t suggested that
the money to provide increased paw
should come from an appropriation
by Congress, to be followed by al
vances. This temporary relief"
must be accompanied by determine
effort TO reduce the cost of living.
Permanent solution of the railroad
problem was declared to depend upon
the removal of returns to capital as
the sole purpose of operation and

INVESTIGATION.
TO DEPEND On THE PUBLIC
Power To Prosecute Profiteers Limit
ed-Food Hoarders, However,
Can Be Reached Under
Food Laws.

Washington. - Attorney General
Palmer has started out to ascertain
how much of the high cost of living
is due to excessive profits by retail
ers.
In a telegram to all state food adj
ministrators who worked with Admin
istrator Hoover during the war, Hle
attorney general requested the APP
pointment of a fair price committee
in each county to investigate what is
being charged for retail necessities
and il in excess of what the commit
tee considers just, to publish a list
Of fair prices for the guidance Of the
public.
There is the extra legal" means Of
reaching profiteering which Mr.. Pal
mer recently indicated was under con-
sideration. He has frankly admitted
from the start that there was no
means to prosecute directly a man
guilty of extortion in prices. Retail
ers who are gauging the ultimate con-
sumer will have to be disciplined by
public sentiment, which officials have
no doubt is sufficiently alert to the
situation now to act vigorously in
clear cut cases. Hoarders on the 9th.
er hand, can be reached through the
wartime food laws, or the Sherman
act, and Mr.. Palmer requested the
state food administrators to transmit
to him any evidence of boarding OF
other violations of the law which
they might encounter in their work
with the promise that the govern
ment's law-enforcement machinery
would act promptly.
