 A minority report, however, will be submitted to the general conference, it was said asking that a change be made to eliminate the phrase the holy Catholic church" The creed now reads T believe in the holy ghost, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints the forgiveness of sins,' etc. The word Catholic" is used in the sense of general, and has no reference to the Catholic church that term is generally understood. However. the signers of the minority report desire to eliminate any reference to the word catholic
 The report of the committee on edu- cation, recommending a number of changes in the law of the church rela- tive to the conductance of the board most important change is a provision which makes it necessary for each an nual conference throughout Alcoholism to send to the board of education all money raised in the conference for education purposes.

 ON WAR PROFITS
IRenubIlcan A. 2. Leassd WIrel

WASHINGTON, May 21-Continued outcrv in the senate against profiteers brought matters to a head there to- day when republican leaders promised that the resolution of Senator Harris, democrat. Georgia. calling for corpora- ton income and excess profit tax re- turns, would be taken up tomorrow for action. With certain amendments, Senator Lodge, majority leader, said he saw no reason why it should not pass,
 Senator Harris widened the scope of his proposal which would bring the records into the senate to include 1918 and 1919 returns as well as those of 1917.
 Members Of the senate" he said, stand on the floor denouncing prof iteers. heres a simple resolution that only seeks to name them, which has been waiting six months"
 The house also saw legislative guns trained on the profiteers. Representa- tive King republican. Illinois, intro duced a bill to prohibit federal re- serve banks renewing loans on or re- discounting commodity notes, drafts or bills which, he said. would force hoarded commodities on the market.
 Senator Calder, republican, New York joined in the senate discussion during the day, urging steps 10 strengthen depleted plant facilities as means of increasing production anu striking at high prices. He referred to unsuccessful experiments in price fixing and the hand to mouth policy" practiced during the war.

DEMOCRATIC WAR.
 FINANCE POLICY IS CAUSE IF HIGH PRICES, CHARGE
Prolonged Initiation Held Responsible for Increased Living Costs Since 1914; Score Wilson Methods
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, May 21.-The Wilson administration is charged with con- tinuing to date a policy of imitation 'by which it financed the war" and which is held responsible for the in- crease in the cost of living since 1914 in the report of the banking and cur rency sub- committee of the Repub- lican national committees advisory committee on policies and platform, made public here tonight
 Insofar as the war period is con- cerned," it says, i've merely call at tention to the fact without expressing an opinion as to the wisdom or lack of judgment. But the continuance of this policy since the armistice lays the ad- ministration open to severe criticism" :"
 Results of imitation
 The consequences of this imitation ary warm financing" 1t added. are that;
 Tt has caused great injury through the consequent rise in the price of goods and services that enter into liv- ing costs;
 "It has greatly increased the cost of the war:
 Tt has caused serious loss to pur- chasers of Liberty bonds, who were led to believe that these bonds were in vestments which. considering their gilt-edge character. were offering fair market rates of interest;
 "Continuation of the low federal re- serve discount rate necessary to sus- tain tho administrations borrowing policy for q long time after the armis- tice gave rise to excessive specula- ton during the year following the close of the war. It caused further credit expansion, weakened still more our gold reserve position and need lessly delayed the time of return to more stable economic conditions. It is in no small degree responsible for the widespread feeling of uncertainty and insecurity that at present pervades oul | economic fife
 The sub committee on relation oI 1 commerce and industry, in another re port. declared there seems to he little 1 doubt that public opinion support. ] regulation of public utilities and foi l the most part other classes of busi- ] ness should be subjected to little oi i no regulation"
 Would License interstate Business I Federal incorporation of license O interstate business and preference O I federal overstate regulatory bodies | where there is a conflict were ap 1 proved
 "Opinion seems clear" the repor ! said. "that any increase in equipuen and in output in any line of bushes which is accompanied by a tendenc. toward monopoly calls for a consider able amount of regulation. but that mere increase in physical equipmen and in volume of output with no ten dency toward monopoly does not cal for regulation.
 Tt is also held that a combination of units. formerly under separate con l trol but without any increase in equip ment or in output, the combinatio being formed for some other purpos than monopoly. does not call for an considerable amount of regulation However mere size does not seem {
 be the occasion for regulation"

SOLDIER RELIEF
 BILL NUT TO BE ACTED ON TO-DAY
TRepuhIIean A. ?. Leassd WIrel

WASHINGTON. May 21--Pians for action tomorrow on the soldier relief legislation in the house were aban- doned tonight by Republican leaders. No date was set for calling up the bill but it was expected to get it before the house Tuesday or Wednesday.
 This decision was reached because of q prospective coalition between a ma jority of the Democrats and minority of the Republicans, the latter opposing any cash bonus. The com bination planned either to defeat the rule giving the bill the right of way for passage or amend the rule and leave the bill open for amendment.
 Before the Republican leaders were called together, an informal Demo- cratic poll showed virtually solid op- position to the Republican program. IL was also disclosed that the anti bonus Republicans numbered so, and by combining with the Democrats might upset the Republican control.
 Anticipating action on the bill to- morrow, both Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee and Representative Henry T. Rafney. rank ing Democratic member. filed their re- ports on the measure late in the day. Neither offered any direct argument for or. against passage of the bill. Mr, Fordney declared the legislation could be financed only by new taxes. with- out which. he said. the measure would be "inexpedient if not entirely use- less
 Mir. Rainey attacked the taxation scheme. declaring it i'll considered and calculated to hurry LIS ever nearer financial disaster" He advocated a war profits tax, and said that if per- mitted. would endeavor to include 1t in i the bill.
 ~EvIdence that the bill is designed l primarily as Republican campaign 1 proposition.'' said the Rainey report, ] ''is found in the fact that not a single | tax takes effect until after the next 1 election. There is not the slightest in- tention of trying to pass the bill i through the senate at this session of tscougress We consider this is acting in bad faith with the soldiers organi- zation which requested this legisla- l tion''
 Mir Rainey declared the land rec lamation plan embodied in the bill would lead to unlimited expenditures and would be stricken out of the bill

Farmers Active Sellers

CHICAGO. May 21.-Wild selling overwhelmed the grain market today and broke the back of prices. Fever to unload holdings appeared to be largely due to widespread belief that the end of the railroad traffic jam was in sight, and that distributing centers might soon be staggering under inor- dinate supplies. The close was ex citing Corn 91ke to 131sc net lower, with July S15S to s1.59 and September SI491k to s1-51. Oats finished 2lac to eMc and 6ssc down and provisions off 37c to s1 75.
 It was evident right from the out set that emergency measures which the interstate commerce commission had taken to swing the railroads back into more adequate service were ac- cepted by the grain trade as meaning undoubted beginning of relief from the long nightmare of famine at the eleva- tors here despite immense reserves in The country. Besides the prospects Of immediate unified railroad operation there was further reason for unusual selling pressure because of continued nronfnence given to news of general merchandise price cutting and of the sqlIeeze in banking credits The con seouent rush to sell corn instead ot Agzsenfng as prices fell-s kept gaining MnidIv fn force. During the last part nf the session the stampede became headIong. The close was at the lowest fi~uresa reached. with the pit picture If nearly complete decentralization.
 Oats tunbled with corn Arrival ot q cargo of Canadian oats here formed an independent source of weakness.
 Provisions were dragged down by ~nnash of the grain market. The big rest break was in pork

SAY MEAT SHORTAGE
 WILL RESULT FROM
 CAR APPORTION|NEN1
fRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, May 21.-An immediate construction of the nations meat sup ply is threatened by the reduced quota ot refrigerator cars apportioned to packing companies by the interstate commerce commission, according to a Wilson, president of the Institution of American Meat Packers. in behalf of American packing companies.
 Reports received today at the insti- tute from several sections show that some plants may have to shut down on account of the lack of cars,' the state ment said. "Other plants have been forced to effect a 50 per cent curtail- ment of the production of meat, and l some of these are on the point of stop ping operations entirely.
 NO packer owns enough refrigerator cars to take care of his own business. The larger packers are compelled to ] rely on railway owned cars for 25 to ! 90 per cent of their requirements and ! the smaller packers depend largely on these common carriers.
 i "Ordinarily the necessities of the l packing industry are recognized and l filled in order to protect the consumer 1 But the interstate commerce commis- | sion has diverted to other uses a con- l siderable part of the quota usually as- | signed and urgently needed to move
