Washington, Aug. 4. - Cheaper
bread may be one of the results OF
the present governmental efforts to
reduce the high cost of living
Whether the scent loaf will be put
into the market basket is a question
on which officials are at variance
but they agree that if the government
allows wheat to sell at the market
price instead of the $2.26 guarantee,
a considerable drop in the price OF
bread will result.
Committee Into Wheat Price.
The price of wheat is one of the
things being considered by a commit
tee of cabinet and other high officials
who are tackling the living cost prob
lens.
The proposal is for the government
to take over the flour supply of the
country at a nominal profit to the
millers and sell it back to the public
at a loss.
Officials state with the price remain
ing at $2.26 a bushel. flour can be
bought fairly by the government at SIS
a barrel after making allowances for
all by-products and a fair profit to the
millers.
Lose 81 a Barrel
In turn the government would sell
ing a loss of 81 a barrel.
The total domestic needs for the
year are about 250,000,000 barrels,
which would require the expenditure
of just half the guarantee fund of
1000, ,000,0 900 provided by congress.
Thus the farmer would get the guar
anteed price for his wheat, people
would be assured of cheaper food and
the half of the billion dollars that are
spent would be used in reducing prices
instead of merely keeping up the price
of wheat to the farmer.
Would Mean General Cut.
Nearly all food prices are affected
by wheat and officials believe lower
bread prices would bring down many
other articles. Care would be taken if
the plan was carried out to prevent
any profiteering after the government
had reduced the price of flour.
The act appropriating the govern
ment guarantee fund specifically pro-
vides that the money shall not only
be used to keep up the $2.26 wheat
price, but to sell food to the people
at a reasonable cost, and many con-
gressmen say such a plan was in their
minds when the bill was passed.
Meanwhile, Representative Kelley
Pennsylvania, was preparing legisla-
ton to confiscate all the food in ware
houses in the country and distribute
it thru the system being built up to
sell the surplus army supplies.
The army food is but a drop in
the bucket compared with the large
amount of food stored in Chicago and
other centers, and the cost of living
can be forced down by the govern
ment putting it on the market thru
the parcel post system" he said.
Make Up Deficit in Taxes.
Representative Madden, Illinois,
was preparing a bill authorizing the
government to buy wheat from farm
ers at the guaranteed price of S2.26
and resell it at $3.50 a bushel, the
government taking the loss, to be
made up out of the s1,OOO,OOO,O0O
fund established to make good the

Berlin, June 25.-(By the AS

Berlin were scenes of rioting and
plundering Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning. Incited by
speeches from agitators in Alex
ander Platz, mobs attacked and
robbed pedestrians and maltreated
lated soldiers. Troops sent to Alex

crowds in the streets and from the
roofs of buildings. They finally
succeeded in clearing the streets.
Elsewhere in the city bands of

The neighborhood of the Stettin
railroad station was notably disor-
Derby. Street cars were held up
while rioters searched the passen-
gers pockets and stole women's
rings. Here, also, soldiers were
beaten and shots were fired from
roofs and windows and the soldiers
returned the fire.
After daylight the city was
quieter, but at noon the police ap-

were gathering once more. -Four
thousand workers in the shops

Escapes Lightly With Nine

The rain and thunder storm that
struck the city shortly before last
midnight caused more damage in
Council Bluffs than in Omaha. In

deluging about five blocks in Broad
way from Ninth street west with
mud.
Following the storm last year,
when Indian creek mud caused con-
siderable property loss by like
overfowing after severe rain

money to dam the creek. The
heavy rainfall Of last night caused
the waters in the creek to break this
dam, with heavy consequent damage
to property in the deluged area.
The monetary loss entailed is not
known. Traffic has been in
terrupted between this city and the
Bluffs. Lights are out, connec-
tons having been broken by trees
felled by the heavy wind which ac-
companied the rainstorm.
South Side is also reported to
have suffered from the storm. Two

Aside from nine fire calls in

Others End Strike.

New York, June 25.-Commis-
sion merchants whose produce is
rotting on New York piers because
of the strike of market teamsters,
porters and chauffeurs, sent tele-
grams to the governors of Norlh
Carolina. Virginia, Delaware, Mary
land and California, asking them to
request Governor Smith of New
York to intercede in the contro-
versy on the ground that the farm
ers in those states will suffer great
financial injury if the strike con-
tinues.
Situation Is Acute.
The situation became so acute
that a representative of the Depart
ment of Labor arrived in the city
to aid in the settlement of the
strike. The walkout Monday has
seriously diminished the city's sup,
ply of fresh vegetables and fruits
and New York is actually without
some of these commodities. TIE
only break in the embargo was the
arrival of ship with 700 barrels ,t
potatoes. Business at the markets
handling green vegetables and
fruits was at standstill. The on y
movement out of these markets was
that of, government trucks taking
supplies to hospitals. These were
operated under a guard of military
police.
L. J. Lippman, chairman of the
produce dealers committee, an
nounced that if assured ample po,
lice protection the dealers would at
tempt delivery. While the strike IS
in progress thousands of barrels Of
potatoes, cabbage and other vege-
tables are rotting.
Eight hundred refrigerator cars
of fresh vegetables and fruits, val
ued at $1,0O0,000, lying in adjacent
New Jersey railroad yards, may
have to be diverted to other points
unless a settlement is soon reached.
