tie. This was one OF the infrequcnt
occasions when II has been neces-
sary for the mayor to settle tie.
The mayor declared, In announc-

Uncle Sam Finds One
 Cause of the H. C. l..

i Washington. = The Administration has found; what it believes to be one of the principal causes for the high cost of living.
 And in finding it there is also found an answer to the question continually being asked by the farmers: "Why is it that everything we have to buy still has the wartime price tag attached, while everything we sell is down to rock bottom in price?"
 The answer, according to surveys al ready made by the department of jus tice and the department of commerce. Is found in the four hundred odd asso- citations organized along industrial lines which have not dlsbanded. since the war and which are still operating under ''amicable understangings" and s'gentlemen's agreement" regarding prices and. selling territories
