Federal Board Says Reaction
From High Costs Is On.
CLOTHING AND FOOD CHEAPER
Asserts Business Continues at Ex-
tremeIy High Level, and Expresses
Confidence in Satisfactory So
luton of Wage Problem.

Washington, Sept. 6.-ReactiOn from
the high price level established during
the war has set in, says the federal re-
serve boards review of business con-
ditiOns in August.
Not only are some foodstuffs declin-
ing in cost to the consumer, but the
price of wearing apparel, such as tex
tiles and shoes. also has been affected,
the review says.
Business continues at an extremely
high level" and confidence of salts

problems was reported from all Sec
lions of the country.
Problem of Prices Greatest.
During August, factors which had
not hitherto arrested much attention
exercised great influence on the bust
ness situation" the boards statement
said. Reference is made, of course,
to the problem of commodity prices,
In particular those going to make up
the cost of living, and to the conse-
quent condition of labor unrest.
Whereas previously emphasis had
been placed upon the great activity
displayed by business, the problem OF
price readjustment and the difficulties
connected with 1t now bulk largest.
Discussion in connection with this re-
adjustment is particularly centered up
on the problem of the relation of
wages and prices.
"A movement toward lower prices
appears to be in progress in certain
directions, prices Of certain foodstuffs
are declining, as feeling OF conser-
vatism Is noticeable in certain lines.

viously been most marked, 'resales at

ported.
agents generally indicate feeling OF
confidence that satisfactory solution
of the price and wage problems will
be reported. The actual volume OF
business transacted continues at an
extremely high level for the present
season of the year, although transpor-
tation difficulties and shortage of la
Dor have been hampering factors in
certain lines.
"The agricultural outlook on the
whole is distinctly less favorable than

pensate for decreased yield per acre
Cotton in particular Is in poor cOndi-
ton.
Banking Positions Strong.
"Refecting the feeling of uncertain
ty which prevails, the volume of spec
ulation has abated, and declines in
the price of securities have occurred
The general business situation, how
ever, is at bottom strong"
Discussing labor conditions, the
board recorded that reports from the
majority of districts designate the sit.
uation as unsettled"
In certain districts a decreasing eff
cheney of labor is remarked, which Is
ascribed to relaxation from wartime
pressure for maximum production. Al
the same time additional demands
made by the workers have been grant
ed, in large part due to the general
shortage of labor which exists in many
sections.

make fight to finish for ratification
of the treaty just as it stands.
Senator Hitchcock on the same day
addressed the senate oR the question,
holly denouncing the opponents of the
treaty, even those who favor only mild
reservations. He declared the real
purpose of the majority on the foreign
relations committee was to kill the
pact entirely, and indeed there seems
to be justification for that assertion.
Senator Knox's proposal that the trea-
ty be rejected and separate peace
made with Germany, he said was an in
sane mixture of poltroonery and folly.
Mr.. Hitchcock took direct issue with

Just before starting out on his speak

that general conference on indus

held in Washington early in October.
Already number of leaders of finance,

take part in the discussions, and it Is
the hope and belief Of Mr.. Wilson and
indeed of everyone that the sessions Of
this round table will have decisive ben
eficial results in the way of stabilizing
industrial conditions. Certainly much
good should come of the frank inter

that is planned.

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations voted to recommend the ratifi-
cation of the treaty by the senate with
four important notifications. These
reservations provide for unconditional
right TO withdraw from the League of
Nations; assumption of no obligation
to guarantee territorial integrity of
nations or to employ troops for CO
ercive purposes or to accept mandates
except under the direction of congress !;
full freedom to determine what ques-
tions are domestic and therefore not
subject to consideration by the league ;
exemption of the Monroe doctrine from
consideration by the league and dec
laration that the United States is sole
interpreter of that doctrine.
Senator Shields of Tennessee, DEM
Ccrat, Joined the majority in voting for
all the reservations except that re-
lating to article X. Senator McCum-
Der Of North Dakota voted against the
first two reservations. On the last two
the vote was IL to 6.
The committee resolution stipulates
that the treaty ratification by the Unit
ed States shall not take effect until
the American reservations have been
accepted by three of the four other
great powers: Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.

Hungary continues to present the
the peace conference. The Roumanian
occupants of the country so far have
been absolutely defiant of the orders
of the supreme council and are said
to be plundering it in most shame
full way. Finally the eXasperated
council last week dispatched TO the
Roumanians an ultimatum cOuched in
drastic terms. demanding that they
evacuate Hungary and hand over to
the allies for proper distribution all
the goods they have requisitioned. The
Roumanian diplomatic representatives
in the allied capitals also were sum-
moned by the foreign ministers who
impressed on them the seriousness of
the situation that would arise If their
government should refuse to comply.
The position Of the Roumanians is that
what they call the war between them
and the Hungarians is new affair and
that the allied conference has nothing
to do with it.
In Budapest they were trying hard
TO establish a government that the al
lies would recognize. Friedrich offer

tiOns. All Jews are barred from the

Quick to resent attacks on the pack
ing industry, several big clubs and as
sociations of Chicago have gone on rec
ord against the proposed restrictive
legislation by congress. The secretary
of the Chicago board of trade said its
members were united in opposition to
the licensing features of the pending
bills, believing the whole licensing sys-
tenn was wrong, or, If right, should be
applied TO all business. All of these
organizations seem to assume that the
reports of the federal trade commits
sion and the allegations on which legal
action against the packers is based
are full of falsehood.

The senate has passed the highly i'm
portant bill providing for the lease Of
public lands with deposits of oil, coal.
gas, phosphate and sodium, and the
measure has gone to the house. Sem
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin says the bill
goes further in the protection of the
public interest than any other bill ever
proposed in the senate or house. Other
senators charged that 1t was framed
in the interest of the Standard Oil COM
pany. II places the leasing of all lands
in the hands of the secretary Of the
interior and fixes the minimum and
maximum royalties. One amendment
adopted compels constituent compan-
les of the Standard Oil company to
sell their product at the same price in
all parts of the country, and another
is designed TO force those companies
to become independent in fact as well
as in name.

Late reports from the Ukraine said
Petlura and Denikine were closing in
on kieff and apparently were about to
take that important city from the boil
sheviki. The Reds claim the capture
of ,Dubovka, on the lower Volga, and
also announced that Admiral Kolchak
had evacuated Omsk and established
his government at Irkutsk, 1850 miles
further east. KOlchak has issued
stirring appeal to all loyal Russians
to reioin the ranks, and his representa-
tives have been granted the privilege
of recruiting in Japan. The Esthoni-
ans had the boIshevik armies in so
tight a hole that the Lenine govern
ment offered to make peace with them.
Trotsky, addressing the Petrograd SOW
let. said the bolsheviki must stand i'm
pregnably in the defense of that city.
The reports that General Cough. the
British commander, was about to at
tack Petrograd appear to have been
untrue. The Poles also, using tanks
for the first time. whipped the bolshev-
Xxi capturing the fortified town of Bob
ruisk and 500 prisoners.

arrived in Paris from the Black Noun

wiping cut the loyal people of Monte
