i. S. ACTS TO BAR
FOOD 'CORNER|NG'
Power Under A. A. A. to Buy
Is Weapon Against Crisis
Spectators. :

Copyright. 1884. by the Associated Press.
The Government disclosed plans to-
day to thwart wildcat speculation or
corners" in the Nations food in the
aftermath of the drought disaster.
Perhaps the most potent weapon is
power under the A. A. A. to buy sur
pluses of farm commodities for fu-
ture use, thereby striking blow at
any attempt TO kite prices because OF
relative scarcity. The foods thus
bought by the Government could be
distributed to the needy, resold
through commercial channels or ship
per into drought areas where needed.
Immediate supply Ample.
For the immediate future officials
predict that supplies viii be ample
and prices relatively low. This is due
to heavy marketings, particularly OF
live stock which the drought threat
ened to xiii.
Through the Winter, though, the
normal reaction would be smaller
food supplies and higher prices.
The administration will try to level
of this variation, guarantee ample
supplies for all sections and prevent
wide fluctuations in prices.
Security lies somewhere midway
between glut and scarcity said Vic
tor A. Chritgau, acting farm admins
traitor.
Organization Forming.
An organization is being formed
within the administration to determine
actual and potential supplies OF all
food products, availability Of imports,
normal price ranges and whether
market operators might tie up any
large part of these supplies.
When this study is finished plan
of distribution viii be drafted.
The consumers counsel of the A.
A. A., headed by DR.. Fred c. Howe,
will seek-through publicity on prices
and accumulation Of supplies-to pre-
vent consumers from being "pinched"
by artifieially high prices,

Defy Fresh Strike

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 3.--Cattle and
hogs were driven into the Chicago
stockyards today under police escort
as commission men sought TO resume
trading, stopped for nine days by q
strike OF handlers.
-Four hundred more stockyards
employees, the commission mems
handlers, joined the strike this NOM
ing after declaring q lockout last
night. The commission men them
selves handled the first shipments TO
arrive, forklng hay to the cattle and
filling the water troughs.
Meanwhile the strikers lounged on
the sideIines. First violence of the
day came when farmer driving cat
tie to market was showered with
brickbats as he waited 10 enter. He
drove away tinharnled.
Few Buyers I'm Yards.
Very few buyers were IN the yards
and, although the commission men
had declared the market open again,
trading was slow TO start.
AS the truckloads of live stock
moved toward the gtockyards special
force of 100 policemen got ready for
trouble.
Commission merchants had an
nounced that they no longer intended
to stand the financial losses that have
resulted since 500 live stock handlers
went ON strike July "a. In addition
to the 100 policemen ordered to duty
today. reserves are ready for quick
movement into any trouble zone that
may develop.
Hugh s. johnson, who spoke at A
Century of Progress last night, agreed
to hear strikers complaints today.
The hours Of labor and the pay for
extra" men are involved.
Vote Follows Decision.
A consequence Of the commission
merchants decision was the vote last
night by their employees, numbering
about 400, to refrain from working.
The workers are members Of union
afiliated with the striking stock han
dlers. Their leader said today that
1t was not a walkout by his men, but
rather q lockout, the union men re-
fusing to work with non-union men
employed to replace striking stock
handlers.
Big Packers Buying.
The big packing plants we're buying
and the yards saw the first market Of
any considerable size since July "a,
when the handlers walked out, asking
for q 48-hour minimum week and
guaranteed pay for extra men"
The packers own buyers and help
ers drove the stock out Of the yards
pens and into their own unmolesteo
by the strikers. About 1000 head Of
cattle were brought in, In shipments
heavier than the usual Friday re-
ceipts. Hog shipments were lighter
than usual, but totaled 10000 head
by Government figures. Some 1000
sheep came through, comparing with
usual Friday shipments of 5000 to

BERLIN. August Germany gazed
across the bier of her dead President
today into an uncertain future Of

the ex-corporal who. by the death of
Paul Won Hindenburg yesterday, has
become master Of the destinies of
IS 900. 900 Germans. His weapon for
successfully overcoming these prob
lens is a dictatorial power without
parallel in all Europe.

to be held August 10 to determine q
successor to Won Hindenburg is. as all
Germans recognize, but a ceremony.

ton Of presidential powers in addition
to those he exercises as chancellor.
Bewildered by Events.
Many Germans seem bewildered
over the suddenness of events, even
though nothing unexpected has oc-
CURED. 1t was considered that the
chancellor would take the presidency
when Won Hindenburg died, and that
be would seek quickly to gain the
allegiance Of the army. The Nazis,
however, have moved with regard for
public reaction. Hitler's declination
OF the title Of president because It sis
indissoluhly bound up with the name
Of the great deceased" is regarded as
o decision calculated TO retain public
support.
Nazis are jubilant, too, over the
army and navy's pledge Of allegiance
to Hitler, which was made before
nightfall yesterday. These units Of
armed force were the most likely
threat to Hitler and Nazi-ism, and now
they are bound to him by their
solemn word.
Schultz Staffel Takes Oath.
Hitler's 200 900 black-shirted guards

oath.
The oath-taking was conducted In
secrecy yesterday. Won Hindenburg's
death had scarcely been announced
when the Schultz Staffel was sum-
moned.
Residents Of the fashionable west

ceremony, were told, mind your own
business, this is a private matter"
The oath was taken on the back

OF particular significance is the
