FOUR SUITS ARE

suit of the attorney generals drive
against the war patrioteers.''
Sensational disclosures are due in
federal actions to begin within twenty
four hours against contractors who
are alleged to have muIcted the gov
eminent of more money paid out upon
loosely drawn contracts and Just as
loosely drawn vouchers-hundreds of
them with the alleged connivance of
inside" persons temporarily serving
as swivel chair" major-domos in gov
eminent departments, and with power
of approval or rejection on bids and
final payments
Beginning Complete Exposure.
The attorney generals drive on the
cantonment operators was said today,
to be but the beginning of a complete
exposure of war price gouging' in
every field of war endeavor. The at
torney general, it is said, is confident
it will provide sufficient answer to
demands for his impeachment.
The department of justice virtually
attacks the validity of all contracts
for supplies and equipment entered
into by the war department for the
building of all of the camps for SOL
diers constructed at the outbreak OF
the war.
The criminal phases of the actions
contemplated by the government have
to do with allied collision or under
standings which resulted in the pad
for materials and supplies of every
kind. These items of cost have been
carefully checked and the department
has gone into relations of those who
participated in the transactions in
vestigated- In some instances, it is
expected the government will show
direct business relation between con-
tracing and supply firms.
Suits for recovery will be filed in
district courts and grand jury actions
in several instances are likely. Details
being kept secret, but it is said they
will involve a number of prominent
figures and the names of some men
who rushed to the aid of the govern
ment in the war emergency.
Former Comptroller of the Treas
ury Warwick in report which was
made the basis for investigation by
the department of justice, disclosed
how 1t had been possible in the rush
of war endeavors, for government
vouchers to be executed without the
usual safeguards. Comptroller War
wick's record in the case dealt not
but with "profiteering' in shipping
board transactions and those of other
bureaus and offices suspected of hav-
ing been victims of profiteering on =
large scale
The department of justice will in
stitute eighteen separate federal court
actions again. those involved, it was
learned.

No definite action has been taken

In the opinion of Snyder the heavily

ont That some OF these heavy building
traHnAS carry six yards of sand at a
load. A yard OF sand weighs approx
imately 800 pounds. thus making a
load alone of close to 19. 600 pounds.
The trucks m some cases weigh 10. 000
pounds This makes a load of nearly
&c. 600 pounds on the paving
He points out also that the load is
not evenly distributed on four wheels,
as was the case when wagons were
used, but trucks have about so per
cent of the lofsd on the rear wheels.
The streets- were not constructed for
such heavy traffic. he asserts, but
Besides the load for the mos part
being on the rear wheels. the prope1l-
ing power also comes from the rear
