PRICE DECLINE
Senator Calder Does Not Believe
Reductions Will Reach Pre-
War Levels.

Denver. Colo, Nov. 15.-Doubt
that any big price declines will
come soon and that prices will
reach pre-war levels, was expressed
by Senator w. M. Calder of New
York. chairman of the senate COM
mittee on reconstruction and pro-
duction, which meets here today to
investigate industrial conditions in
Colorado and nearby states.
Senator Calder based his opinion
on information gathered by the
committee.
wherever we have gone,' he
said, there seems to be fairly gen
eral opinion that prices on build
ing materials eventually must de-
cline. The committee so far has
found a decline in only one build
ing material. lumber, which sold
for $50 a thousand and then ad-
vanced to $40, has declined to $50
"As long as the government
great loans are out, labor is op.
posed to reductions in wages and the
employer is opposed to reductions
of his prices, l don't see much hope
for heavy declines Immediately. ant
it is doubtful il prices ever will at
! tain their pre-war basis"

Topeka COURT
PROBES FLOUR
CURTAILMENT
Kansas Millers Must Ex.
plain Non-Production
At Legal Hearing.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 15.-Whether
the state court of industrial rela-
tions has q right to prevent -four
mills from ceasing or cutting down
production under certain conditions
is expected to be determined as q
result of a hearing begun before
the court today, when seven To-
peka millers appeared to show
cause why they should not be held
in violation of the court act be-
cause they have curtailed produc-
ton Of -four.
The millers generally admit that
they have curtailed production,
some having shut down their mills
altogether without the consent of
the court. but they contend that
sound business reasons" made the
action necessary.
1T is not the intention Of the
court act that millers shall be
forced to continue operation il
their business does not warrant It, >
said Fred s. Jackson, counsel for
the court. But the law provides
that serious curtailment in any in
dustry invested with the public
welfare shall not curtail pF0duc-
ton without consent Of the court
the law says it shall be unlawful
to curtail production to affect
prices. The hearing is expected tt
determine whether the millers' &C
ton is merely to affect prices O
their products or because genera
business conditions warranted suct
| curtailment."
