MORE CUTS IN PRICES,
IS PLAN OF PALMER
Will Spur Campaign to Create
Activity; After Sugar Hoard
ing Candy Men.

Washington, April 24.--Defnite re-
suits from the campaign against proiltee +
ing are beginning to show, ACC ording
to Attorney General Palmer, who says
the fight is being pressed with every
price decline.
Pointing out that agents of his de-
partment have been active in prosecuting
sugar profiteers especially in Philadelphia
and New York, he said in a statement:
Fair price commissioners all over
the country report unusual success IN
the last sixty days in getting the trades
to enter into agreements definitely limit
ing their margins of profit on gwen
articles on which the tradesmen them
selves have admitted taking generous
proftsg Some articles, par ticularly OF
clothing, have dropped as much as 10
and 80 per cent i'm cost to the consumer
while the averages of all articles repre-
sents smaller percentage OF decrease.
"After several months of activity
during which the fair price commis-
sioners have acted as brake against
rising prices definite results are now
showing themselves in slight. drops in
all prices. The department Is gong to
press its activities with every price
decline with q view to continually
combating unconscionable profits.
''The department has taken no part
in the overalls movement, though it
is likely one or two of the State Fair
Price Commissioners have joined 1T
individually"
The Department of Justice has a
telegram from John A. Manget, Fair
Price Commissioner of Georgia, say
ing there has been a steady decline IN
the price of necessities there, with the
exception of an advance In the price
of coal to cover increased wages paid
to miners. Similar results, 1T was said,
are reported in Maryland, Pennsyl-
ania, Arizona. Mississippi, North Caro-
ina, West Virginia and Tennessee.
Mr. Palmer said the meeting OF ex-
ecutives of sugar rehneries called here
for Monday was to obtain information
in the most effective way and Indicated
the refiners were willing to cooperate
in eliminating profteering. Investiga-
ton of alleged boarding of sugar by
soft drink and candy manufacturers is
under way.
A bill to lower the price of shoes
and to prevent prohteering will be in
troduced by Senator McNary, who has
been investigating the leather industry
BY it the price of each pair of shoes 10 the
retailer must be stamped on the soles by
the manufacturer
Heavy penalties are provided for
collusion between the makers and the
retailers and precautions against any
system of rebates by which the maker
and retailer may distribute additional
profits.
Senator MoNary and others realize
it is impossible to seek the passag,
of any measure fixing selling prices
for shoes or any other necessity. A
strong sentiment exists in Congress
against any legislation of such a nature

HITCHCOCK GETS OUT
OF LEADERSHIP RACE
Democratic Speaker, However, to
Remain as White Housc>Aid
on Treaty.

Washington, April 24-The minority
leadership controversy among the Senate
Democrats was finally terminated yester-
dav by the withdrawal of MIR. Hitchcock
from the race. The last election to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Senator Martin resulted in tie vote.
In announcing his retirement from the
contest, Mr.. Hitchcock advances the
plea of personal plans as a reason. This
does not mean his Presidential aspirations,
having been given the Nebraska dele
gates in the recent primaries, as 1T is not
Mr.. Hitchcock's intention to wage an
aggressive fight in other States.
For some time it has been plainly evi-
dent that Mr.. Hitchcock would be de-
feated when the party conference was
held. Senator Smith of Georgia, who did
not vote when the deadlock originated,
is known now to favor Senator Underwood.
Other changes unfavorable TO Mr.. Hitch
cock are said TO have been impending.
The final contest was postponed until
after the Nebraska primaries, that Mr..
Hitchcock should not lose prestige by de
feat 1t wss understood that he would
later withdraw.
1t is the intention of Senator Underwood
to leave all matters relating to the German
peace treaty in the hands of Hitchcock,
as in the past. Senator Underwood said
last evening that he viii not outline any
policy until after his formal election
next Tuesday.
81 am opposed to seeking to re-establish
peace between the United States and
Germany by means of joint resolution, !"

J,S,SENDS WARSH|P
TO COAST 0E MEXICO
NAVY Answers Call of Americans
for Protection for Lives
and Property.

Washington, April 2i.-Ordcrs were
,ssned bv the Navy Department yester-
dav afternoon, dispatching the scout
cruiser salem and the destroyer McCaw-
lev 10 the west coast of Mexico from san
Diego. Cal, and directing the armored
cruiser Sacramento, now at lampico,
on the East coast to proceed to frontera,
south of Vera Cruz.

of the State Department, where the en-,
tire Mexican situation was described
ms "acute" The Salem and McCawley
Will 90 respectively to Mazatlan and
Topoulobampo. From the American
consuls at both of these. places, and
from the Consul at Frontera, came an
urgent appeal to the State Department
for the presence of American warships.
Full detail of the situation at these
places was not given, but American and
foreign residents were described as being
in state of great apprehension lear
ing attacks ON them by the Mexicans
Tuxpan, the center of the oil tields on
the east coast. was also declared IN the
officia! dispatches to be In q state oil Ter
ment and excitement. Gen. Arnoto
Gomez. former commander of the Car
rama garrison at that place, was de-
clared in these advices to have joined
forces with the rebel forces under Gen.
Manuel Belaze, in combined attack on
the Ioyal Carranzistas which began
April 2l and D. At the time Consul
Albert J. Hoslins at that place filed his
report the fighting was still in progress
and the result in doubt. Enormously
rich American and British oil invest
ments are located In the vicinity, and a
number of citizens of both countries
have their homes there. In the pas t
Revolutions in this district it has been
the practice of one side or another TO
burn the wells, attack foreigners and
lew heavy ransoms and taxes on the oil
companies.
What action. If any. the British Gov
ernment will take had not been indicated
up TO a late hour today. 1t is presumed
that the attention of this country to the
situation will be officially called by the
London Foreign Office and that In all
proba bility the British will send war
ship 70 the scene. During the war the
British were represented there by force
of marines owing to the constant appre-
hension that the German agents lntrenched
at Mexico CITY would succeed IN having
Carranza interrupt the shipments of
oil TO the British feet
Further evidence of the spread of the
revolutionary movement against Car
rama was given in an official report
from the American consul at Nuevo
Leon, stating that Colonel Gallejos, COM
manding the Federal garrison at Linares
had revolted and obtained complete con-
trol of the Monterey-Tampico branch of
the Mexican National Railways.

Notice to All Employees.
THE price of lead has declined with
in the past three months to S4.675 per
100 pounds. with no indication of any
Improvement in the near future. The
operation of the mines in this district
can not be continued under the pres
ent conditions.
"In order to continue operating, we
are compelled to announce reductions
in the amount of the bonus paid to
employees as follow:
From 1925 per day to s1OO per day
for shovelers and all other unskilled
underground labor; and from S2.25
per day to s1.25 per day for all other
classes of labor These reductions
will be effective beginning 700 a. m.
January 1. 1921 This will make the
pay of shovelers and other unskilled
underground labor $3.50 per day and
miners s4.75 per day.
THE greater reduction applied to
shovelers and all other unskilled I'M
derground labor makes a difference
that conforms to the practice in the
Wardner- kellogg mines and practic-
ally all other mining districts.

Charles Garranson came up from

returned to the property Monday. He
is quite enthusiastic over the promis-

and feels confident that the drift will
enter an ore body when a little more
depth is gained. The vein was reach
ed by a crOsscut 500 feet and drifting
has now been extended about 200
feet Depth is being gained quite
rapidly and it is possible to gain
about 1000 feet on this level The
vein is about 80 feet wide and carries
low values in silver and lead The
Rockford joins the ground of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan on the west
and is within the great mineral zone
that has made the Wardner section
famous. The Rockford company owns

pany was in the city Monday. He
states that the company has develop
ed a very promising showing of ore,
the shoot being about 20 feet wide and
40 feet long and carrying substantial
values in copper the entire width.
There is a streak of undetermined
width that carries y per cent copper
and on this the company is planning
to sink early in the spring. The ap-
pearance Of the ore on this level indi-
Gates that the values have been leach
ed out and it is expected that within
a reasonable depth a large body of
commercial ore viii be found. At this
time work is confined to a raise from
the lower tunnel. the purpose being
to strike a rich shoot of ore found in
a shaft sunk a short distance in
the upper tunnel This ore is said to
carry is per cent copper. The show
ing developed on the Boston Colby is
regarded as one of the best in the
Saltese section, and its development
is being watched with unusual inter-
est by the people OF that thriving me-
tropolis. as it is located within a
quarter Of a mile of the business CEN
ter.

Mr.. Knudson is interested in the

the shaft cut the vein. which showed
stringers of high grade

opment was done or the Hemlock

METAL MARKET.

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal has the following review of the
metal market for the week ending De-
cember "a
Possibly in no week this year has
business been more stagnant in the
metal market than in the one just
passed There has been an utter lack
of demand and also of pressure to
sell on the part of producers, many of
whom continue off the market at pres
ent prices. Under these conditions
om quotations are largely nominal
Transatlantic freight rates to Eng
land continue at the figure set by the
conference, that is, s13 per ton for
copper and S12 for lead but rates
from ports in the Hamburg area are
quoted as low as So and Sc. Trans
pacific rates to Hongkong and Kobe
are given as SLIPS per ton.
Lead.
ON Monday December 20, the A. S

from sc to l.75c New York and St
Louis
Inquiries have been fairly numer-
GUS and well distributed during the
last week They have been for prompt
delivery and have resulted in few
sales, a fact which leads to the
thought that they are made in many
cases to establish a basis for inven-
tories. Sellers of lead on contract re-
port that such deliveries are being
accepted fairly well at current prices,
and most of the producers will go in
to the new year with little unsold lead
on their hands. Demand for futures
