To ABANDON DRIVE
ON HIGH PRICES
Department Of Justices Activi.
ties to End November !
ORGANIZATION TO DIsBAND
This Decision Will Have No Effect
On Departments Fight Against
violators Of The Lever Food
Control Act.

Washington-The campaign con-
Quoted by the Department Of Justice
against the high cost Of living will
be ended and the entire fair price
organization disbanded November !.
Letters have gone out from the De-
partment to all fair price commits
siOns and all others engaged in the
campaign, advising them Of the de-
partment's decision to conclude this
work, officials at the department
stated. Department officials said that
while the campaign had been success
full, the immediate reason for closing
up the work was lack OF funds.
Abandonment Of the campaign prob
ably will mean the displacement Of
half dozen special assistants to the
attorney who have devoted their en-
tire time in fighting high prices. What
oflcials will retire has not been made
known, however.
It was declared that the dissolution
OF the organization in the cost Of liv-
ing campaign would have no effect
IN the departments drive against
violators Of the Lever Food Control
Act. The attorney general was rep
resented as being fully convinced that
the Lever act had made it possible to
curb the hoarders and the profteers.
and determined to go forward with
prosecutions Of coal men and others
against whom complaints have been
made.
instructions lately have gone out
from the department to district at
torneys to pay close attention to all
trade organizations, with view to
ascertaining whether they have oper-
ated as a combination in restraint Of
trade. Officials said the trade organ
izations were so numerous that this
phase Of the work alone had required
the services of more attorneys and
agents than the department was able
to supply because of its shortage OF
funds.
Il The government drive against the
high cost of living has cost approxl-
mately 100000, according to figures
at the Department Of Justice. De-
partment officials pointed to collec-
tions 'of fines aggregating more than
$275. 900, assessed against convicted
prO6teers, as evidence Of the success
attained. Further fines might be col
1ected, It was added. from the more

port of all the people.
There is a possibility, it is pointed
out, that anarchy might attend the
death of bolshevism in Russia and con-
ditions throughout the soviet areas be-
come worse. even than they are today.
It is considered questionable. however,
whether it would be expedient for the
powers to intervene in Russia, although
there should be general chaos and

There remain more than 200 other
cases where arrests have been made,
but the trials have not been held.
Prison sentences imposed aggregate
10 years and 10 months in cases al
ready decided. Officials said this rep
resented more than 40 convictions,
since most of the sentences were

The signing Of "a peace treaty and
armistice by the Polish and soviet Rus
sian delegates at Riga, reported lit
tie prematurely last week, took place
on October IL. The armistice IVES to
become effective at midnight October
18. Joffe, head of the soviet delega-
ton, described the peace as "a peace
without victory and without van
Quished," and disfnterested observers
at Riga agreed that that described it.
Hence it was predicted that the pact
would not be very pleasing to either
the Poles or the Russians.
A peculiar complication in the af
fairs of that part Of Europe arose
through the seizure of Wilma, the capt.
tai of Lithuania, by troops under the
command of General Zellgouski, who
resigned from the Polish army before
the occupation. His force is made up
of both Poles and Lithuanians. He.
established a council of six in the city.
and that body is planning provision
al government for central Lithuania
pending the question of the self-deter
mination Of the inhabitants of that
district. The Polish government dis
avowed the occupation of Wilma by
Zellgouski, the Lithuanians were said
to be mobilizing for the recapture Of

The various factions Of the Italian
Socialist party, assembled in conven-
ton, have been having struggle for
control. The moderates appear to
have the whip hand and have refused
to let the party commit itself in favor
Of soviet rule for Italy. The confer
ence voted solidarity with Russia but
the majority stood fast against the
Communists and made 1t plain they
wanted no repetition in Italy Of what
has happened to Russia. Their lead
ers declared the Russian difficulties
came from the rottenness Of the pres
ent regime and that the Bolshevik gov
eminent would be unable to transport
products to other countries even after
the blockade is lifted. Later in the
week Socialist leaders and those of
the General Confederation of Labor
published joint manifesto ordering
demonstrations in every town in Italy
to force the government to recognize
soviet Russia. They said q general
strike Of rail workers had been ar
ranged.
