HITS PROFITEERS IN
STEEL AND COAL
Controller Williams in ''Last Re-

Up Their Huge Earnings.

Washington.-Outspoken charges Of
profiteering in the steel and coal in

attack upon the ''exorbltant interest

GUS features of the annual report of
the currency, who tells Congress that
the report is his seventh and last"
Defation, which was inevitable a
year ago, has come. he says, and prices
of many basic commodities and raw
materials have returned to pre-war
the middleman," the controller adds,
Ito adjust his profits to the new prices
before the ultimate consumer will re-
ceive the benefits of the reduced cost
of living"
The controller also warns labor that
1t must soon determine whether shut
down and idleness are prefe. e.red to a
lower wage scale which takes into con-
sideration the lower living charges.
Mills and factories cannot afford to
operate unless they can turl out COM
modities at prices the public can afford
to pay, he asserts, and it is better for
the manufacturers to produce goods at
cost or at a narrow margin of profit
than to close entirely. Participation
by labor with capital in the profits he
suggests as the only principle to re-
store business.
Discussing the disposition of some
lines of business to attempt to keep up
their large profits, Mr.. Williams says:

SENATE 0VERRIDES
WILSON ARMY VETO
Only One Vote in Favor of Sus-
tanning Presidents Move
Against Smaller Force.

Washington President Wilson's
veto of the resolution to reduce 175,-
600 was overridden by the senate by
vote of 67 to 1, Senator Kirby
(Ark.), Democrat, being the only one
to sustain the Presidents position.
The House already has passed the
measure over the veto by an over
whelming vote, so the resolution now
becomes a law.
Cessation of army recruiting was
ordered by Secretary Baker in accord
ance with the direction of Congress
as embodied in the resolution passed
over the veto.
. The action of the Senate fore
shadows senate approval of an appro-
priation in the army bill to provide
pay for an army of $4,000. The house,
provided pay for only 10000. Sem
ate leaders in both parties expressed
the view after the vote on the veto
that the upper branch will favor pay
for an army of the size Congress has
approved.
''It would seem to me absurd to do
anything else" said Senator New
Und.), member Of the Military Affairs
Committee and author of the senate
resolution for an army of 175,000. 'If
we do not do that We will be forced
to pass deficiency appropriation be-
cause the army Is now recruited to
about 100000 and cannot be reduced
to $4,000 before about October 1.
"That means we will have an army
averaging about 100000 for the next
six or seven months. Therefore it
seems to me the only practical thing
to do is to provide pay for at least
175,OOO and that it would be folly to
do anything else"
