bakers on Monday as the reason
for the increase in price.

nany's action in recalling the in
crease in prices and ordering a re-
duction over the former price.

George NJ. Roberts, superintendent
OF weights and measures in the

feet last summer and which limits
the size Of the bread loaf to q

terday II was brought out before
the Senate investigating commit
tee a year ago that bakers OF the
District made common practice of
meeting increased cost of produc-
ton by reducing the size of the
loaf, thus not informing the con-
sumers of any change
Il really believe that this law

their prices has caused their action
in slicing the price because Of pub

HARDING, SPEEDING
HOME, STRUGGLES
WITH BONUS SNARL
Consults Daugherty and
Weeks, Both Opposed
To Legislation.

EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
HARDING. CHARLESTON, S. c.,
March 1S.-Soldier relief apparently
still stands ahead of a soldier
bonus in the opinion of President
Harding.
At any rate, his first appointment
when he reaches Washington to-
morrow after a 10-days' vacation
in the South. will not be with the
House Ways and Means Committee
leaders who. arc anxiously await
ing his arrival to talk bonus, but
with Illinois leaders of the Ameri-
can Legion. Director Forbes. head
of the Veterans Bureau; Brig. Gen.
Sawyer and Gen. Charles Dawes.
The question of a disqualification
and other relief measures for vet
Grams will be discussed, II was un-
derstood. Brig. Gen. Sawyer, the
Presidents personal physician, is
head of the general board on hos
pitalization against which numer-
Gus complaints have come.
COnsults Trusted Advisers.
The President will be glad to see
Chairmon Fordney, of the House
Ways and Means Committee and
other leaders Monday, but the re-
lief question. growing out of COM
plants as to present methods. will
come first, members of his party
indicated tonight.
with the President speeding
fvop, tu-n Of
his most trusted advisers. Secre-
tary of War Weeks and Attorney
General Daugherty.
The presence of Mr.. Daugherty
and Mr.. Weeks on the journey home
made il virtually certain that be-
fore reaching Washington the Pres
ident will have framed definitely his
answer to the Republican House
leaders on the bonus issue.
Two Oppose Bonus Plan.
Secretary Weeks and Attorney
General Daugherty are known to
be opposed to the bonus plan
as favored by House leaders,
and. in fact. it is the belief OF these
two as well as others of the Presi-
dents advisers, that it Is useless to
attempt any bonus legislation at
first time since leaving Washington
ten days ago. President Harding
entered in serious discussion of leg
islation and political matters on the
train en- route home. During his
vacation in Florida all matters of
business had been kept from him
and his attitude vas well illustrated
in his refusal to discuss over the
long distance telephone with Secre-
tary of the Navy DENLY the question
of the deficiency appropriation for
fuel oil for the navy.
Prodted by Trip.
That the President has enjoyed
and profited by his relaxation is evl-
dent. He is bronzed by the sun and
salt air. That he has relaxed may
be seen from the following statis-
tics:
He has had an average of over
eight hours sleep every night
Has lost two pounds of the twelve
he wishes to lose by exercise
Has played 1913 holes of golf on
FIVE different courses.
Has swung at the ball APPROX
mately 1000 times and has walked
some thirty-five miles in pursuit of
bogey.
In addition to the two Cabinet
members, the Presidents party en-
route home includes Mrs. Harding.
Mrs. Weeks. Henry P. Fletcher. Am
bassador to Belgium; Brig. Gen.
Sawyer and Secretary Christian. His
train is due at Washington at about
1 O'Clock Sunday afternoon.

TO ASSIST IMMIGRANTS
 IN RETURN TO RUSSIA
Martens Heads Commission Organ. ized For This Pur-
 pose.

Moscow. Dec. 29.--Ludwig Martens former Soviet representative in Amer lea. has become chairman of special commission organized by the Soviet government to assist in the return to Russia of Russian-Americans and Russian "doukhobors" from Canada.
 More than 10000 Russian-Ameri cans already have come back to Rus sia from America during the last two years. The greater part of these are agricultural workers, and they have brought with them agricultural im- plements valued at t50.000.
 A big scheme is now on foot to bring from Canada between 50,000 and 10000 "doukhobors." men who under prosecution were forced to em- igrate from Russia in 1895. These families intend to bring with them their entire property, consisting of agricultural implements, tractors and livestock. The Soviet government is assigning to them 25,000 acres in the Ukraine. Tn addition to the existing Soviet laws exemptlng conscientious objectors from military service, the central executive committee of Soviets has given to the delegates of this sect. who recenly came to Moscow to carry on negotiations. @ signed undertaking

ONLY RICH USE TAXES
500,000 Soviet Rubles Cost of Carfare For One Person-Equivalent To Two Cents Here.

| Moscow, Dec. 29.--Automobile taxi.
 cabs operated by private owners have
 appeared in Moscow, but the tariff is
 so high that on several occasions the government has issued warnings to
 the public to beware of extortion. The street cars. about the cheapest thing
 in Moscow, are always crowded to such an, extent that foreign visitors never consider riding in them. The carfare is now 5Oo,ooo Soviet rubles, or about two cents.
 The four wheeled drosky, drawn by one or two horses, which never ceas- ed operation even during the revolu- tion, and the sleigh when snow is on the ground. continues to be the most popular way of getting about the city The drosky drivers insist upon a fare about fifteen times more than the street car charge. The taxcabs are patronized chiefly by spectators who are interested in daily transactions of billions or trillions of rubes, and who care little about what they spend.

PROMISE GOOD PROFITS
Eweden's Budget For t923-24 Fore casts Financial Surplus in Many Quarters.

Quarters.
 Stockholm, Dec. 29.--The various departments of the Swedish govern ment are concerned just now with the preparation of the 1923-c4 budget, ' and surpluses are, expected in many directions, according to information received by the minister of finance.
 The customs service reports that the duties on imports for the next fiscal year will total about s2S,000,- 900, which is a slight increase over the present year. The postal depart ment. already profitable, will so con- tinue it is said. and show surplus of about $1.600.000. while the de- partment of teiegraphs is expected to take in $4,000,000 more than it ex- pends
 The state railways. with the excep- ton of the ore-carrying roads, expect a surplus of about $S,800,000. This figure will be cut, however, by the deduction for the increase in wages which will continue at a rate not now determined for several monthr' during the next fiscal year. The state railways which serve the iron mines by carrying ore expect to realize about five per cent on the invested capital.
 A total of $3.000.0o0 is expected from the government monopoly in to- bacco, while s2,500,00o. it is believed. will be realized from the sale by the state of waterpower and electricity. Another s2,C0o, 900 is looked for from the state domains department.
