estimated that 5000 delegates and Wis
itors will attend the conference. It
was announced that the purpose of the
meeting was to form new national
party, headed by Ford, but it may be
that will not be found necessary. The
Democratic leaders seem more alarmed
than the Republicans by the plans OF
the Ford followers, and the managers
of the McAdoo boom especially are
said to be worried. The former secre-

federal government does not go far
enough to meet the issue and that,
while the cooperation will be cordial

exclusive authority to prevent the is

powerless to deal with the resulting
distribution of intoxicants to the indi-

"A eral coal commission, need for
strict government regulation of the en-
tire production and interstate distribu-
ton of coal has been made evident by
the wild wholesale speculation when
ever coal shortages have. occurred. The
wholesalers are accused of having
made excessive profits, but those of
the retailers are said to have been
only moderate during the period from
1918 to 1922.
The commission advocates federal
legislation, including the power to
limit to definite maximum amount
per ton the margins that may be taken
by one or more wholesalers between
the mine and retailer or consumer,
thus limiting speculative wholesale
sales.
