Mark Cost Price on All Ar ticles or Let Government
 Control Industries
By Associated Prss.

Washington, May 7.-Presenting a mass of data prepared on behalf of the railroad brotherhoods and unions tending to show that increased wages should not cause higher prices, W. Jett Lauck, former secretary of the war labor board, today suggested to the railroad labor board two methods to curb profiteering and reduce the cost of living.
 Either the cost price of all commodities should be marked when leaving the in should control industries as the railroads were controlled during the war.
 By marking with the factory price. the public, he said would know if the re- taller was charging a fair price to the consumer
 The witness declared that the way was open to stop the vicious circle or increased wages and increased prices, and the question was before Congress, where it must finally be solved. Action by Congress will have to come, he as- serted, unless the force of public opinion acquainted with the real cost of com modities reduce prices to the proper levels.
 Labor costs have been in no way re- sponsible for current high prices, MT. Lauck contended, producing statistics tending to show that the enormous profits made by corporations since the beginning of the war have been the cause. Labor is hardly an appreciabie element in production expenses, he ar gued

By AssooIated Pres,

New York, May 1.-The socialist party of America will enter the presi- dential campaign tomorrow with the opening here of it's national conven- ton, called to select candidates for president and vice president of the United States, adopt national plat form and perfect the party machinery fer the "big fight of 1920"
 Two hundred regular delegates from all parts of the country augmented by ''fraternal delegates" from "sympa- thetic" international bodies of or ganized labor, will go into session at 10 o'clock in the morning. From that moment until the convention closes sometime late next week, socialist forces will be made ready for battle.
 Unusual emphasis has been attached to this years convention by socialist leaders because of attacks on the party's attitude during the war, oust- ing of the entire socialist delegation from the New York legislature, refusal of the House of Representatives to seat Victor L. Berger, elected after his conviction for violation of the espion- age act, and gag" legislation which socialists claim has been generally ap- pi essive to the exercise of free speech, fl ee press and free aSsemblage
