AMENDMENTS To
CAPPE ER-T|NCHER
BILL AGREED To

= Washington, Aug. 6.--Amend-
ments to the Capper-Tincher bill to
regulate future dealings in grain
agreed upon today by the senate
agriculture committee included a
decision to strike out committee
proposal to prohibit privately owned
or leased telegraph and telephone
lines from connecting with cities in
which grain exchanges are not To-
Gated. 1t was held that while
aimcu at bucket shops" the pro
provision would deprive producers
of means for obtaining market re-
ports to aid in disposing of their
grain.
The committee proposal to give
the federal trade commission ac-
cess by order of the secretary of
agriculture to reports made by
grain exchanges also goes out, but
authority for the secretary to call
for such reports and make them
available to the attorney general,
will be insisted upon.
L. F. Gates, of the Chicago board
of trade, opposed the elimination
of leased wire houses and said that
proposed federal trade commission
examination of books would give
the commission authority to explore
the business of o-partnerships and
firms not now subject to its juris-
dfction. He also conteded that
provisions of the bill permitting
marketing associations
which become members of grain ex-
changes the rebate commission
would be a powei>.l lever to COM
pei all iea hrs to join such associa-
tion, threa Ening monopolistic con-
troll of the producers.

down today by the interstate COM
merce commission.
The contract language under dis
.pute follows:
During federal control the di-
rector general shall annually, as
neary as practicable, expend and
charge to railway operating ex-
penses, either in payments for labor
and materials or by paying into
funds, such sums for the mainte-
nance, repair, renewal, retirement
and depreciation of the property
as may be requisite, that
such property may be returned to
the company in substantially MS
good repair and in substantially as
complete equipment as it was on
January /, 1918"
"The words cost of labor" '" the
commission held, "do not we think,
open the door to a comparison OF
the quality or efficiency of labor.
To hold otherwise would be con-
trary to the plain intent of the
proviso, for it is impossible to de-
termine the rela tive efficiency Of
labor at various periods and the in
PRODUCTION of this indefinite and in
tangible factor would have rele-
gated the accounting test to the
very limbo of controversy and con-
flict Of opinion which it was de-
signed to avoid.
"If 1t had been the intent to in
clude the factor of quality Of eff
fectiveness or efficiency, whatever
it may be termed, this would have
been done In apt and unmistakable
language and not by the strained

That the building crafts Of Albu-
aueraue should reduce their wage
scales a dollar a day beginning
September 1 and that the dealers
in building supplies should make
proportionate reductions, were the
recommendation of the contract
ors' association in their attempt to
stimulate building in Albuquerque.
In a statement, the contractors
declare that many builders have al
most ceased building construction.
They attribute this to the high cost
of labor. both skilled and unskilled,
and to the excessively high cost OF
material. 1t is recommended that
conferences be held with both the
building crafts and the material
houses and lumber yards in order
that some adjustment may be
reached.
The following letter to these
groups was sent out by the associa-
ton:
Gentlemen:
"The Contractors association at
meeting held in the chamber OF
commerce building on the night of
August 3, 1921, discussed the
building situation in and about the
city Of Albuquerque. They were
unanimously of the opinion that
the building industry had approach
ed a crisis. 1t was observed that
little, if any. preparation was being
made to meet the usual demand for
houses and bus<ness buildings in
this locality. When the demand is
always heavy in September, Octo-
ber and November each year for
houses we usually have a supply
but not SO this year. Contractors

Recent Raise Made at Me-

Assessment Cut to $5,-

Santa Fe, Aug. 6.-The tax COM
mission today held the railroad
valuation announced on May 5

uation. This valuation includes
depreciation from the date OF the

The commission, after May S,
raised this valuation by disallow-
ing the depreciation allowed on that

but, according to the decision an
nounced today. the commission
once having allowed the depreCia-
ton could not rescind the action
later, as the railroad valuation was
closed on the first date and could
not be reopened.

taking this stand the commission
was guided by an opinion from the

early in 1919. The valuation which

have very few houses to place upon
the market. Many Of these have
almost ceased building construction.
1t was also observed that many
men were idle in many of the crafts
of the city.
"The contractors are of the opin-
ion that building in every line
must be stimulated and men of our
city given all the employment avail
able.
Further, the Contractors asso-
citation are of the opinion that the
situation in building is practically
at standstill, largely because of
, two reason:
al. The high cost Of labor, both
skilled and unsklEed.
"2. The excessively high cost
of material.
These two conditions make 1t
impossible to induce the public to
buy at a price that will be fair and
profitable to the contractor. The
market price of the completed
buildings is so excessively high that
the contractor in order to sell, and
| he must sell, is forced to reduce
his profits to a minimum.
Further, the contractors are OF
the opinion that labor did not ad-
vance substantially during the
period of high prices in all COM
modties and nowhere did labor
reach the peak of prices Of material
and that the reduction in the price
of labor at this time should only
correspond with further reduc-
ton in the price of material.

FOOD PLENTIFUL
IN CH|TA, SAYS
DELAYED REPORT
Living Conditions Are Far
From Being as Desperate
As News Trickling Through
Would Indicate.
nv The Associated Press.)

Chita, July 8.--Living conditions
in Chita as observed by one who
accompanied the Crane party thus
far on the journey to America via
Russia, ar far from being as des-
perate as might be imagined from
the reports of political upheavals
continually coming out of Siberia.
There Is no scarcity of food and
almost all of the commodities of
personal and household consump-
ton can be found in the bazaar
and market at lower prices than
those prevailing in Harbin and Pc
kin.
The public gardens are patron
zed by reasonably well dressed
crowds, in the city garden two
orchestras play and there are FREE
quent vaudeville performances.
Many of the bourgeois families
have been reduced to poverty and
there is lack of ready funds in
many quarters, but the people
show little sign Of real suffering.
At Chita there is perfect order
and no evidence of popular discon-
tent.
The Far Eastern republic is or
ganized along lines entirely diff
ferent from those which prevail in
soviet Russia. Private property is
recognized except that land is the
property of the state.
The minister OF communications
has succeeded in restoring railway
tracks, bridges and rolling stock
sufficiently to have trains running
on all main lines.
Officials of the government as
sert that they are ready to well
come foreign economic and tech
nical assistance. and are willing to
make generous terms to capital for

A CRISIS C0NFR0NTS
PRESIDENT IRIGOYEN

Buenor Aires. Aug. 6.-President
Irigoyen is confronted by sudden
political crisis which seems to
threaten him with the loss of the
control of congress and at the be-
ginning of the campaign for elec-
tion of a new president next March.
Sessions of congress Thursday and
yesterday were without a quorum.
The trouble grew out of a de-
mand on the president by a ma
jority of congress for an explana-
tion of his failure to apply the pro-
visions of the homestead law en-
acted last year.
Political observers see in the sit
uation the first indication of the
consummation of plans for a COM
bination of socialists and conserva-
tives to effect the defeat of the
DreSident,
