URGE CONTROL
Of PRICES by :

iteering.
MUST MAINTAIN BALANCE
Leaders Assert Wages Must Be

Cost OF Commodities.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. W.H =
Strong support for creation Of
price control board to regulate
price advances and guard against
profiteering, developed in the
Roosevelt administration today.
Control of prices has become one
of the most critical problems facing
the National Recovery Administra-
ton.
The controversy which resulted
in the withdrawal of Prof. William
F. Ogburn, prominent economist,
from the consumers advisory board
has accumulated this situation. Og-
burn warned that lack of statis-
teal data might hamper the NRA
program. He declared the present
NRA consumers agencies were in
adequate to protect the public.
Advisers to Administrator Hugh
S. johnson have stressed the argu-.
ment that fundamental purposes OF
the recovery act will be nullified If
wages do not increase more than
prices. In other words, mass pur-
chasing power will not be improved
if all the increases in wages have
to be used to meet increased prices.
Supporters of the price control
board plan point out that an agency
Of this character could keep an ade-
quate check on all industries and
determine when price increases
were justified by increased costs re-
sulting from presidential reemploy-
ment agreements or MIRA codes.
Signers Of the agreements pledge
themselves not to raise prices ex-
cept as necessitated by actual cos7
advances.
Might Act Jointly
The price control machinery
might be set up as a joint agency
of the MIRA and the Agriculture,
Adjustment Administration through
their respective consumers boards,
DR.. Frederick Howe, AAA consum-
ers' counsel. is an executive officer
of the MIRA consumers board and
the two groups have been attempt
ing to coordinate their activities.
The AAA board deals only with
food stuffs and few other COM
inodities affected by the farm re-
lief program.
The work of the NRA consumers
board has been practically at o
standstill since the Ogburn contro-
versy began. A movement is ur-
der way to make DR.. Howe, who
has had notable success in the AAA,
more active in the NRA.
A price control board, whether
set up through the consumers
boards or as separate agency,
would be able to ascertain what pro-
portion of increased prices went to
wages and salaries, what part to
meet increased costs of raw mate
rials, what part to farmers for
their products. If it were found
that jumps III prices were more
than enough to take care of these
items, the firm or industry would
be proceeded against on the ground
that it was attempting to exact an
exorbitant profit.
Price fixing provisions in codes
being formulated by the NRA are
receiving increasing attention, with
The issue brought out sharply In
the oil and lumber industries. It
was understood some form of price
fixing would be provided for in botn
these codes.

yer said. was $4,000 and a large
number of $4,000 purchases were

Joined in shouting and booing the
board.
]. Francis Potter, chairman of
the realty boards tax committee,
as principal speaker for the group
declared problems confronting the
board resulted from acts of form er
officials.
Potter referred particularly to
the "extravagant" county hospital,
the San Gabriel dam fiasco, the
purchase of art exhibits for the
museum and "a thousand anG one
other unwarranted expenditures.
He also attacked the preliminary
budget which listed $4,000, 900 for
charity relief during the fiscal year,
and charged the budget was made
up from the point of view of de-
partment heads demands rather
than the ability of taxpayers to car
ny the burden.
Potter warned that a taxpayers
strike would follow unless expendi-
lures were reduced.

NEW YORK, January 5.-The Stock
Market left of today with fractional
changes. 1t was firm up to the last
hour, when it weakened slightly, but on
decreased volume.
The Street was greatly shocked ct
the news of the sudden death of former

The market started in about where
1t left off Wednesday. Trading, how
ever, was not as active, and stocks
were more freely offered than thew
had been in the last hour of the pre-
ceding session, when the SharpeSt rise
was recorded
The tendency was to reappraiSe the
political outlook. discovering if possible
what basis there was for rally in
stocks at this time. The most con-
servative opinion was that, although
there may be much talk about in

Likelihood of action at this session Of
congress and perhaps out in the spe-
cial session, if any.
Inc dollar was stronger in the inter-

whether this was due to reconsideration
oy the spectators who had been SELL
ing 1t yesterday or to official control Of
the market. Sterling cables were off
3-16 and French francs 7-I6 at the
opening on this side. Commodity mar
kets likewise were irregular, with cot
ton substantially lower in the first
hour
On the side Of advance the leader of

December 81 was 1,414,710, 900 kilowatt
hours, against 1928, ,652 900 in the same
week of 1881, but the comparison was
vitiated by the inclusion of the Christ
mas holiday in one week and not in the

ments of the New York Central and the
