STRONG FIGHT PREDICTED

meeting in the auditorium of the In.

Every paragraph in the measures
will be challenged at the hearing, and
the question asked how it will affect
the Government expenditures" he
said, unless great pressure is brought
TO bear II probably will be a long time
before Congress even considers it, in
view OF the congested calendar and
the re-election campaign looming up"
Congressman Fairfield also de-
clared that II an effort was made to

eminent employees, he believed Con.

FOOD costs.
SAID To BAR.
REDUCTION.
Lafayette Alone to Slash Prices
For Business During
Conference.

Sweeping reduction in prices by
Atlantic City hotels and expected
increased business during the dis
armament conference in November
will affect the rates Of only one
Washington hotel, it developed to-
day from a survey made by The
Times.
Continued high prices of food and
cost of labor were assigned today by
hotel managers as principal reasons
why Washington was not following
the suit of Atlantic City hotels.
Lafayette Alone Cuts Rates.
Only one hotel, the Lafayette, Six
teenth and I streets northwest, will
have reduced rates during the confer
ence and thereafter. The Lafayette
has new rates. made effective today.
p. C. Gordon, manager Of the La
fayette, in a statement isisued today.
declared the reduction in rates would
be made based upon appreciation OF
the extra business OF the last few
years and in reduction Of prices OF
foodstuffs ana cost Of hotel equip
ment."
Managers of local hotels say
Atlantic City hotels have reduced
rates because of lack Of patronage.
Atlantic City is only receiving one
half the usual number OF visitors,
one manager said. ''They are al
most starving and the reduced rates
are made to attract business"
Statement by Lafayette.
The statement issued by the Lafay-
cite follows:
''With the disarmament conference
approaching and with increased bust
ness in view, the management of the
Lafayette has decided upon a reduc-
ton in its rates. We make this re-
duction based upon appreciation of
the extra good business of the last
few years and reduction of tho price
of foodstuffs and hotel equipment.
I'm proof that there is reduction
in prices, the hotel has been able
to resume serving American plan
luncheons and dinners, which 1t was
forced to discontinue during the high
price period.
I'VE believe it is our duty now.
as much as during our country's
recent struggle, to do our bit In
bringing back normality, and II we
will all pull together this will bring
high prices down. Let us try it,"
