Harding's plea for deferred action on

adjustment and restoration would
greatly "imperil the financial stabil-
ity of the country would be to line
up additional senators in support Of
his suggestion that the bill be recon-

was stated.
A poll was taken by Senator Curtis
of Kansas, Republican whip, before
President Harding delivered his mes
sage, disclosing "A Republicans and
Z Democratic senators paired to vote
for recommitment. Their number is
expected to be increased, despite op-
position to it, centered largely on the
Democratic side.
Democratic senators continued their
criticism of the presidents proposal
today, it being apparent their inten-
ton is to hold up Senator Penrose's
motion to recommit the bill Repub-
lican senators expressed the hope,
however, that they would be able to
force a vote on the Penrose motion

flew in divisions of two.
No restrictions were placed upon

Kansas Commissioner Says.

On behalf of the Kansas producers
and consumers generally, ). H. Mer-
Ger, state livestock commissioner, to-
day called upon United States Attor-
ney General Daugherty to take some
action to stop the enormous proffteer-
ing in food stuffs.- Mercer asked the
attorney general to take the matter
up with other government agencies II
his office was unable to do anything.
Meat-the best beefsteak-brings
the Kansas producer when sold on
foot only IL cents a pound. Mercer
said. This same beefsteak retails at
from 80 to Is cents a pound and many
of the so-called better restaurants and
hotels charge the ultimate consumers
as high as 81 a pound for it. The
prices of other food products vary as
much. the Kansas commissioner as
serted. and conditions are becoming
intolerable from the standpoint of the
producer as we'll as from the stand
point of those who have to pay from
500 to 700 per cent profit to the
profiteers.
Entitled to Reduction, He Says.
1.-The producers in many lines have
about come to the conclusion that
they must become reconciled to low
prices when they go to market" Mer-
Ger said, but if this is so they GER
tanly are entitled to a reduction in
costs when they have to buy from the
profiteers."
During June Mercer spent two
weeks in Washington on official bust

termed a second best hotel and ate at
restaurants that were not notorious
for their service charges. He kept a

into COAL PRICES
Industrial Court to Question
Topeka Coal Dealers.
VIII Tell of Profits Received
From Local Consumers.
TEN DEALERS SUMMONED
Charge Is Made That SOme-
thing Is Wrong With System.
To Determine Whether or Not
Trust Has Been Formed.
TEN DEALERS SUMMONED

The profits Topeka coal dealers are
making are going to be Investigated
by the Kansas court OF industrial re-
lations. Members of the court an
nounced today that ten Topeka coal
dealers had been summoned to appear
before the court and give testimony
as to the profits they receive and the
cost of the coal when they buy it
from the mines and from the mine
distributing companies. The ten deal
ers summoned are: H. D. Barrett,
William Farnsworth, c. c. Nicholson,
Mrs. Cora Major Crabb, H. A. Hodgins,
J. C. Tulloch, Mrs. j. B. White, j. C.
Sinner, ]. F. Spohn and Charles
Little.
This is the beginning of the retail
end of the coal investigation which the
court has been conducting, the judges
said. Last week the court finished
taking testimony as to the price re-
ceived for coal at the mines and the
price received by the wholesalers.
Now, the retail angle is to be investi-
gated and members of the court as
serted today that dealers in several
parts of the state will be called upon
to give figures showing the profits
made by the retailers.
Make Too Much Profit.
Members Of the court are frank to
state they believe there is something
wrong with the price of coal and that
they believe some one is making toe
much profit in the handling of it be-
tween the mines and the bins of the
consumers. However, the members
of the court also are frank to admit
that the court itself cannot do any
thing If it finds there really is some
thing wrong. But it is hoped that
this investigation will determine
whether or not there is a coal trust
and it is generally understood that II
an illegal combine or trust" is found
the attorney general will be asked to
start proceedings against the coal
men under the states anti-mo1opo
law. Also, the members of tho ccJrt
believe that if there is something
wrong the investigation will accom-
plish good by giving the findings pub
licity thru the newspapers.
After the investigation of the To-
peka retail conditions is completed
the court will journey to other parts
of the state and will call dealers be-
/ fore It for an examination of theiI
books and general questioning.
