u. ). Chamber 10 Poll
lis Members on Price
Control Legislation
Committee Criticizes
Administration Measure;
Substitute Proposed

Following a report by the United
States Chamber of Commences
Committee on distribution, propos-
ing a substitute for the administra-
tion's price control bill, to include
regulation of wages, as well as prices
of industrial products, the board of
directors yesterday ordered an i'm
mediate referendum vote by its 1,600
member organizations on price con-
troll legislation.
Though expressing the view that
effective price controls are needed
in the present emergency, the COM
mittee declared that the measure in
troduced in Congress" on August
is so sweeping, so lacking in stand
ards by which administration can
be judged, and has stated purposes
so far beyond accomplishment
through price control that it should
be opposed"
The present bill stresses price
control as substitute for measures
of altogether different kinds that
must be taken if imitation is to be
checked and prevented the COM
mittee said without these other
measures price control would be
futile, however conscientiously
cafaried out and observed"
Non-Defense Curb Urged.
Citing public spending as the basic
cause of imitation, the report de-
| clared that the Government should
curtail all spending that does not
directly relate to the cause of the
present emergency-the great re-
| quirements for defense
No schemes of taxation designed
to take away the added receipts of
individuals from excess Government
spending can be effective as a sub
stitute for rigid economy in nom
defense expenditures" it said.
1t also declared defense expendi-
lures should not be inflated through
use of public funds where private
funds can finance defense produc-
ton activities; that production of
goods for civilian use be maintained
at the highest level that defense re-
quirements will permit; that the
Government, in borrowing, should
meet its needs, so far as possible
from the savings of the people, and
that the Government should avoid
the creation of additional bank
credit for its own use.
Substitute Proposed.
| THE committee recommends that
every measure should be taken by
the Government to give assurance
that the Government itself has set
its face against inf1ation," the re-
port declared.
The committee recommended sub
stitute legislation providing for the
use of price control where govern
mental action so diminishes sup
plies for civilian use that price
disturbances are the inevitable re-
suit. The proposed controls, to be
administered by a board of five
members chosen by the President.
would apply not only to prices of
industrial materials, but also to
wages, and other factors in the
cost of living.

Pvt. jackson denied to reporters
that he had shot at the prisoner.
Shortly after the alleged shooting,
a citizen living near No. l precinct
telephoned police that he had heard
what he thought was a firecracker.
Police broadcast an order to the
nearest scout car to investigate the
report.
The police officer in charge of
the precinct, it was said, heard an
unusual noise and asked the police
men in the cell block what was
going on. He was told that some
body had touched of a firecracker.

Lindsay is wanted in Prince

He is alleged to have slashed the
soldier across the throat before beat

He then, it is charged, criminally
assaulted the young girl. The SOL

Living Costs Highest
In 10 Years.; Factory
Wages Gain Faster
Food Prices Lead in
Rise With II Per Cent
Advance in II Months

By the Associated Press.
Food prices and the cost of living
have reached their highest point in
10 years under the impact of the
armament effort, but an accom-
panying rise in weekly earnings of
factory workers, Government econ
omists say, has more than kept pace
with climbing prices.
Records of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics show the cost of living
has gone up 71a per cent since the
start of the war in Europe. But
in the same period average weekly
earnings in manufacturing indus
tries have increased 80 per cent.
This is contrary to the expert
ence of the first two years after
World War I broke out in Europe
In 1914-l6, living costs jumped ID
per cent. Figures are not available
on wage increases of that period
but economists say that earnings
Jagged behind increasing costs.
Some Workers Unaffected.
Current higher earnings and
wage increases, of course, have not
reached all workers, and there are
many persons with fixed incomes
receiving no more now than they
did two years ago.
But in the manufacturing indus
tries, especially in the durable
goods establishments where so much
of defense production is concen-
trated, workers have received 6
substantial margin of real wages
above and beyond the rise in living
costs, economists say.
The rise in the cost of living Il
largely the story of the rise in retail
food prices.
The Labor Departments study
shows food prices have gone up l.
per cent in the last year-10 PEE
cent since last March.
Government economists explain
the upturn in prices by pointing Il
some of the factors operating under
the old economic law of supply anc
demand.
They mention increased consumer
buying stimulated by the increases
in earnings and income from &
greatly expanded industrial machine

drew an unexpectedly large crowd.

Hundreds of guests seized the op-
portunity to wander through the

traits, rugs and furnishings. Most
of the mansion had been thrown

whom were seeing it for the first

Much Will Be Done Soon.
If the administration is deter
mined to go ahead, much work will
be done in the next two or three
weeks in support of it. both in
Congress and out.
The administration new S6,000,-
100000 lease-lend bill promises
to serve as the earliest vehicle for
debating the Nations foreign poll
cies. The measure will be given
thorough consideration. particularly
in view of the fact that Congress
first such appropriation author
lied the expenditure of $1,000, 900 900
and the last report of the President
was that supplies valued at only
s190,0O0,0O0 have been sent abroad.
Some members wonder why it IS
essential to make new approprta-
ton under these conditions. even
though the first appropriation has
already been allocated.
Isolati0nist Setbacks.
Whether an effort will be made
in either house to write in a pro-
hibition against any lease-lend
funds for Russia is not yet clear.
However, if such an amendment is
offered, congressional leaders pre-
dicted 1t would be defeated. Sena-
tor George and others believe Con-
greSs and the American people
would not countenance such a slap
in the face to nation which has
made a brave fight against the
Nazi invaders. - g.
Generally speaking, the nom
interventionist camp on Capitol Hill
has had its setbacks during the
last week. 1t started with decla-
ration by Senator Capper, Repub-
lican, of Kansas that it was neces-
sary to uphold the President, was
followed up by a similar declaration
by Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, of Illinois and climaxed by
action of the American Legion,
which backed the President to the
limit in his foreign policies.
Furthermore, House members who
went home during the congress
sional recess have returned saying
they found sentiment yeering
strongly toward support of the
President, Notwithstanding the ef-
forts of the America First Commit
tee and isolationist leaders. Some
of them found that their votes
against the Military Service Exten-
sion Act were not popular.
Support for Wheeler.
The office of Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana, made public
a telegram received from Willard
Fraser of Billings, Mont, asserting
that the meeting there addressed by
Senator Wheeler in opposition to
Americas participation in the war
had been great success. The
telegram said:
Largest auditorium in Billings
filled to capacity and huge crowd
listened outside through micro
phones installed for that purpose.
Two or three groups of obviously
paid hecklers attempted in vain to
distract citizens. One 13-year -old
boy threw an egg and was repeatedly

Government Buying.
They mention, too, large-scale
Government buying for domestic
purposes and for shipment abroad
under the lease-lend program.
Eggs, pork, fats and oils, for ex-
ample, are being bought under lease
lend, explaining in part rising prices
for these commodities.
The average cost of foods, most
important item in the wage earners
budget, economists report, will be
higher when the cost of fresh fruits
and vegetables starts to go up, prob
ably in late September and in Oc-
tober.
Bureau economists look for fur
ther advances in living costs, but
are hopeful that price control mech
anisms can be created to prevent the
113 per cent rise experienced during
the last war. The peak in that war,
of course, was not reached until
1920.
