PRICE REDUCTIONS
GIVE LITTLE RELIEF
FEDERAL RESERVE REPORT
HOLDS OUT LITTLE HOPE
FOR CONSUMER.
RETAILERS ARE RETRERCRING
District Reports Show Trend Toward
More Careful Buying and First
Hand Economy-Labor Situa-
ton Difficult.

Washington. - Despite the recent
reductions in prices. little relief from
the general reign of high prices is
seen by the Federal Reserve Board in
its analysis of May business condi-
lions, made public The board ex-
pressed the view that there has been
no change in the underlying conditions
responsible for the high cost of living.
Asserting that while store sales"
and tendency to lower prices bears
witness to the presence of disturbing
factors which suggest the advent of
wide alteration in price levels, the
board declares ii cannot accept the
situation as whole for its face value.
The explanation is added that there
has been only slight ircrease in pro-
duction and there is no greater dis
position on the cart of the general
public TO economize and invest than
ruled heretofore.
THE changes that have taken
place, therefore," the boards analy-
sis says, cannot be loked upon as in
dicating a modification of underlying
conditions. They may, however, af-
ford basis for changes in business
relationships that may broaden into
more far-reaching alterations of the
essential price structure"
Business in every section of the
country has suffered considerably
from 'the freight jam which has pre-
vented normal movement of products
to markets. Efforts of the tie-up are
noticed in the agricultural districts as
much as in the industrial areas and
farmers are not the smallest class
which has sought more bank help IN
the way of credit as a result.
Results of the boards action in the
direction of restricted loans already
has begun to be evident, according to
reports to the various reserve banks.
In addition TO general reduction in
the value as well as the volume of Sc
there has been a general revision OF
rates affecting both CONNER
cial paper and call money, it is stated.
The labor situation during the month
has been one of the outstanding ele-
ments of doubt and difficulty" and Is
one Of the problems with which the |
is expected to have to deal |
the rest of the summer. In addition to |
intense shortage of farm labor, sporad-
ic strikes have occurred in many |
lines of manufacturing, indicating in
the boards view, continued unrest.

PRESIDENT VETOES
PEACE RESOLUTION
WOULD PLACE STAIN ON HONOR
OF THE UNITED STATES"
HE SAYS.
C0NN0T OVERRIDE VETO
Deadlock On Peace Program and Con-
troversy win Become Campaign
issue-May Submit the Treaty
To the Senate.

Washington. - President Wilson
vetoed the peace resolution and III
formed Congress ne could not become
party 10 the peace program framed
~ Republican LADDERS of the Senate
and House because he considered II
! would PUT an "iAeitaceable stain" On
/ the nations honor.
To establish technical peace By
such a method, the president said.
would be TO effect "a complete surrsnd-
er OF the rights Of the United States
so far as Germany is concerned" and
10 Tellnquish all the nigh purposes
which led the nation into war and
which were embodied in the rejected
treaty of Versailles.
The presidents act apparently
brought to a final deadlock efforts of
the president and Congress to agree
on peace program. Republican lead
erS conceded they could not pass the
resolution over the veto, though an at.
tempt will be made in the House soon,
and on both sides it was predicted that
the issues of the treaty controversy
would have to be fought out in the Do
litical campaign with Democrats and
Republicans blaming each other for
the failure TO effect a state of peace.
The president did not indicate
whether he might again submit the
treaty to the Senate for ratification,
but he said the resolution raised again
the question of whether the United
States cared to draw part from the
rest of the world or join with other
nations in attaining the ends to which
the treaty was framed.
The veto had been expected an
Republican leaders made plans
close the incident promptly by a rec
ord vote on repassage of the resolu- |
ton. The message went fist to the |
House, where its reading was greeted |
with cheers by the Democrats and de- |
rision by Republicans. Without dis
cussion it was agreed to take vote |
again.
The general prediction on the Re-
publican side was that the resolution
would fail by only few votes of the
two-thirds necessary to repass it. In
he Senate, however, it was conceded
the prospect was altogether hopeless.
