 Remedy Here
Thomas Thinks People Now Can Keep Prices
 Down

Washington, May 19 Frankly con- fiding to his colleagues that the clothes on his back were threadbare and patched, Senator Thomas, demo crat, Colorado, joined today in an other senate broadside on profiteers declared the people themselves and not legislation must break the sweep ing wave of high prices.
 Linking the overall movement strted as a protest against the cost of clothing, with the widespread price reductions, reported from many cities Senator Thomas said the public had found the remedy in it's own hands.
 "The overall campaign was a good thing" the senator said.
 "The papers are full of telegrams ing drastic cuts in clothing prices. Did legislation do it? No, the people did it themselves"
 7 The attack on Droflteers was open ed by Senator Kenyon, republican Iowa, who urged social ostracism and criminal punishment for the offend CTS. Corporat1ons pflnclpally and re- tailers were held up as prime prp of iteers. Some of them were character ized by the Iowa senator as robbers andtraitors.
 In urging publicity as a means of sweeping dealers demanding excessive profits "to the junk heap of disre- pute" Senator Kenyon declared de. partment of justice prosecutions had failed to bring relief and that the people should elect president who would break the evil by naming an attorney general "who cares more about enforcing the laws than he does about running for president"

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ENDORSE SOLDIERS
 BONUS LEGISLATION
Refuse by Big Majority to Consider Any Post
 pOnement
HOUSTON FORMALLY
 OPPOSES ANY BONUS
Caucus Acted in Face of Secretary E Statements That Legislat Would Have III Effect on
 Nation

Washington, May 19.-House repub- llcans, in party caucus tonight, came out squarely for enactment of soldier relief legislation, as advocated by the American Legion.
 Before deciding in favor of the legislation, the republicans refused, Al to 49, to postpone indefinitely all action on relief legislation. Several republican leaders, including a ma jority of members of the steering committee, were said to have sup ported the motion, but there was no record vote.
 When republican members of the house went into caucus tonight on soldier relief legislation, Chairman Fordney, of the ways and means com- mittee, yaid before them letter from Secretary Houston flatly opposing any bonus proposal in whatever manner financed
 Secretary Houston's letter, which resulted from an inquiry by Chairman Fordney as to the trasury's views on the insurgent republican-democrat proposal for retroactive eighty per cent war profits tax, declared that congress instead of devising new means of spending money should con- centrate it's efforts on raising funds for current government expenses.
 MT. Houston said it was a matter of serious concern to have the gov ernment appear in the market every fewmonths for loans as this course would result in additional expansion with higher prices an da more diff cult financial situation.
 Discussing the alternative of bond issue, increased taxes, Secretary Hous- ton said:
 "The very heavy burdens which will rest on the treasury by reason of laws alredy enacted, including par ticularly the recent railroad laws which, it is estimated, will entail an expenditure of approximately one bill lioin dollars-and also by reason of delay in making provision to realize upon the governments estimates in railroads and ships, takes in con- junction with the existing credit sit uation, suggests the need of grave consideration of the question whether, quite aside from and in addition to any taxation which it might be ne- cessary to improse to pay bonus to the soldiers, it may not be necessary to provide for meeting the necessities of the government in larger measure from taxation"
 Opponents of bonus proposals pre- dicted Secretary Houston's letter would have marked influence when thelegislation reaches the floor of the house.

Conference With Secretary Colby, However, Fails to Net Definite
 ActiOn-Want Dispute As- surances From Rebels

1 Washington, May 19.-Caution in extending recognition or support to .any Mexican faction instrumental in
 the overthrow of Carranza was urged
 upon the state department today by representatives of various industrial
 groups having interests in Mexico and for former diplomats. Definite as-
 surances of the Mexican party now in power as to it's attitude toward for
 eigners anu foreign investments should be first obtained it was held Among those who conferred with Secretary Colby were former Ambas- sador Henry Lane Wilson, former Charge D'affairs Nelson O'Shaughnes- sy, E. L. Doheny, representing Tam pico oil industries; Harold Walker of the Mexican Petroleum company;
 William Loeb, Jr, American Smelt- ing and Refining company; George Carnahan and Frederick Watrous, representing various agriculture en- terprises and Burton Wilson, repre- senting banking interests.
 State department officials were re- quested to advise American interests to wohm in Mexico they should pay current taxes.
 The question at issue is of more immediate concern to the oil produc- CTS than to the mining men or other opera tors in Mexico. It was explained that until some more definite ruling is received exporters of oil or mine products may be asked to pay their taxes either to the authorities actu- ally An control at the ports, or to the defacto authorities in the national capital.
 $2,0O0,000 Taxes.
 The oil interests represented by Doheny are confronted with an imme- diate decision regarding the payment of more than $2,000,000 in taxes. For several years practically all oil pro ducers in the Tampico region have paid tribute to Manuel Palaez but federal taxes have been paid in Mex ico City as a matter of convenience. The law and custom of Mexico pro- vide that they shall be paid at the federal tax office at Tampico. Pa laez has asserted his wholehearted support of the movement of generals Obregon and Gonzales, but in the ab- sence of better definition of author ity in Mexico the oil producers have looked to their won government for guidance.
 No direct advice was given the dele gation by the secretary of state but he is understood to have told his call CTS the question would be given con sideration. In the meantime, however, Dr. Alvin Torre Diaz, the revolution ary agent here, issued statement giv- ing recent ruling of Salvador Ava rado, provisional treasurer of the provisional government, regarding payment of taxes. The statement urged taxpayers to make their pay ments ''to the authorities legally au- thorized to receive them and give the necessary receipt, inasmuch as pay ments made to unauthorized officials, whether military or civil, would not be deemed legal by the government and would necessitate a separate pay ment."

WILD SCRAMBLED FOR CARS IS BEGUN BY
 VARIED INDUSTRIES
Priority Sought Principally by Coal and Grain
 Men

Washington, May 19.-A wild scram ble among individual lines of indus trv for preferential treatment in car movement developed today as the ln- +erstate commerce commission gave indication of reaching definite con clusions on plans to break the freight blockade.
 There was a clamor for cars and for priority orders by grain and coal dealers. By letter, telegrams and through personal representation the commission, the American Railroad associations car service committed and railroad executives here were apprised of the urgent needs of al most every line of trade.
 A committee of the executives rec commended to the commission that 1t order the transfer of 10000 box cars from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Hines west of Chicago, and the re- location of 30,000 coal cars now west of the Mississippi river, to areas in the freight congested east. This should be done within the next thirty days if a direct beneficial result was to be accompanied the rail heads be- lieved.
 Members of the Michigan con- gressional delegation. together with representatives of Michigan public utilities appealed to the commission for consideration in the movement of coal to that territory.
 At the conference called by Di- rector Barnes of the grain corpora tion. complaints about the car supply in the grain producing sections of the middle west was the principal topic of discussion. There were as sertions that even when cars were supplied "less than 20 per cent of them were fit for loading"
 Presidents of several railroads ans wered these charges with the state ment that the task of restoring equip ment to serviceable basis was one "almost beyond human comprehen- sion" and that the rail lines were do- ing their utmost in repairing and making cars ready to meet the forth. coming heavy grain movement.
