AND CONGRESS DO NOT LIKE REPORT MADE BY
 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

ducers and the city consumers are being blcd white by the monopolists and mid dlenen who control the channels of trade. The Federal Trade Commission follows with equally dif1nite recommen- datlOns as to how this exploitation can be terminated. It asks power to obtain and publish information as to production costs and profits of industries affecting the necessities of lifc,-she1ter, clothing food and fuel. It wants prosecution of the mOnopolistic profteers under the antitrust laws. It calls for the elim- il1ation of gambling in futures" and other unnecessary reConsi ignment and brokerage operations.' /It recommends protection of the farmer against the more closely organized elements with which he deals" by the extension of lib- eral federal assistance, especially in secrr- ing SultableloCal markets and proper storage facilities
 Finally, the Trade Commission urges positive encouragement of cooperative associations of agricultural producers and cooperative consumers organiza- tlons.' Summarizing, the Trade Com mission says: The cost of living must come down as a prerequisite to normal Eusness. :. The first object should be to increase rather than lessen the purcl- as1ng power of the consumer. This will afford an immediate and double relief to the agricultural prducers."
 Regardless of party politics, both con- sumers and r-prOducers-and that includes all of us- have a right to de nand the reason why neither the pres- dent nor congress has acted on these able recommendations. Government figures show that pricees and profits are increasing, while Wage-wOrkers and farm CTS are being so badly ''defated' that they cannot maintain decent standard of living. In fact. instead of aiding the Trade Commission i'll bringing relief to the people, the executive, the courts and congress have rebuffed 1t, handicapped 1t, and limited its power. The depart ment of justice has failed to bring to book the monopolistic violators of the anti trust laws. The courts have granted an injunction to the National Coal aso- citation and the Steel Trustpreventing the Trade Commission from investigating their production costs and profits. And congress has not only failed to give the Trade Commission the necessary power requested. but actually enacteed the peeudo-packer-c control bill with a provis- ion (alleged to have been drafted by the attorney for the meat trust) destroying the power the Trade Commission to deal with law violations by the big pack CTS.

CARPENTERS UNION REVOKES CHARTERS
 OF COAST LOCALS
Refusal of Rank and File" to Accent American Plan Leads to
 Dismissal.

San Francisco, Oct. 28.-Four carpen- ter unions in San Francisco have lost the1r charters because of refusal to with draw from the rank and file organization WlNch sought to prOlong the building trade strike and attempt to incite a new strike when the strike originally ordered was ending in failure The charters were revoked by the International Brother hood of Carpenters. the supreme order to which all recognized unions of this class of Workmen belong This marks the de- finite victory of the agreement of the building trades unions to return to work under the "American plan,' as demanded by the employers organization, and also puts final quietus on attempts by cliques within the unions to torment fresh labor troubles. The Unions did not officially accept the "AmeriCan plan,' but made tacit acceptance of it when they released all their men from strike pledges, all lowed them to make their own bargains for their jobs, and dropped the mediation of the walking delegate.
 Official announcement of the revoca- tiOn of the four charters was made by w. A. Cole, coast representative of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters, who stated that the new organization would be formed to replace those whose charters had been cancelled. The rank and file organization however, remains, though shorn of all union connections, and without the support of the national or international organizations of the car penters or other building trades workers. Thus the matter si1nmers down to a con- siderable quarrel between two divisions of organized labor, and marks an open breach between the officials of the unions and this party, which is known as the Conference of Building Trades Unions, although 1t has no authority to use the word "unions' in its name The entire Pacific coast is more or less affected, since the rank and file organizations were formed in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma Bakersfield and other coast cities.
 Leaders of the rank and file move ment declare they are more numerous and more powerful than the brother hoods believe, and that the local strug- gle will be carried into the courts to determine by what right the International Brotherhood revoked the four charters. Organizers are out in several cities in the interior of the United States and in tn Atlantic coast, preparing for this split from the brotherhood of building trades unions. Money amounting to about $35,- GOO is involved in the treasuries of the

PLAIN STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES, TOGETH- FER WITH THE REMEDY, LY- ING UNTOUCHED IN DESKS
 OF WASHINGTON OFFICIALS.

President Harding has had before him for several months a report of one or the ableSt commissions in Washington, which not only points out the causes of continued high prices. but also the effec- tive remedies. Since neither the Chief Executive nor CongrSs has acted to re- lieve the public from the increasing bur- den of unfair prices and prOfiteering. 1t is time that the people know the facts and take action to protect themselves.
 In his address to congress of April 12, 1921, President Harding. in discussing the consequences of the high cost of living said
 "Det1atiOn has been in progress. but has failed to reach \the mark where it can proclaimed to the great mass of consumers. Reduced cost of basic pro- duction has been recorded, but high cost of living has not yielded in like propor- ton. . The maintained retail costs in perisl1able foods cannot be justified. A measuring rod of fair prices will satis- fy the country and give us a business revival to end all depression and uncm- ployment."
 At the request of the president, the Federal Trade Commission made a thorough Investigation into the causes and possible remedies for this con- public. The commission, in it's report to the president, states that 1t finds five principal causes for this condition:
 CD The excessive price of many basic commodities, prominent among which is coal. which vitally affects the cost of other commodities, to say nOth- in of the effect upon the health and comfort and upon the cost of living and the buying power of the people"
 @ "The existence of typical corpor- ate monopolies and agreements in viO- latiOn of the antitrust laws"
 (3) Open price associations, ill many cases not yet challenged by law"
 (4) Interference with the channels of trade by distributors trade associations. . while shutting out new dealers to sell at lower prices. and especially cooperative purchasing and distributing of consumers
 . (5) .Monopolistic control of impor- tations from foreign countries"
