Congress must appropriate funds

America must hold the world
'stcadj' by its example.
By the Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 8. Addressing
Congress today and proposing remedies
to check the high cost of living, Presi
dent Wilson declared that existing laws
were inadequate and that high prices
were not justified by shortage of sup
ply present or prospective, but were
treated in many cases "artificially and
deliberatel)" by "icious practices."
The President recommended that the
Jver food-control net be extended to
peace-time operation and that Congress
exclude from interstate as well as in
trastate shipment goods which did not
comply with its provisions.
Urges Heavy Profiteering Penalty
I J.ne I'resiucnt uiko recyiiinieuucu iiiui
the food law be provided with a sub
stantial penalty for profiteering, and
that arolel storage law be enacted
modeled afteY the law in New Jersey,
by which a time-limit be placed ou cold
Storage.
He nlso recommended that all goods
released from cold storage be marked
with the price prevailing when they
vent into storage-. He further reiom-
mended that goods in interstate com
merce be marked with the pi ices nt
jtthioh'they left the producer.
I ?H. .TTra-ns Rvnmnlp. in Washington
It would serve as a useful example,
the President suggested, if Congress en
act legislation to control the situation
In the District of Columbia, where it
has unlimited authority.
Further, the President recommended
a federal licensing system for corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce
which would embody regulations to in
sure competitive selling "and prevent
unconscionable profits in the method of
marketing." He also urged prompt
passage of the law pending to contiol
security issues.
Urges Quick Treaty Ratification
Making an appeal'for the ratification
of the peace treaty to turn the coun
try frpm a war basis, the President
Midi
"There can be no peace prices so
long as our whole financial and eco
nomic system is on a war basis."
"A process has set in," the Presi
dent told Congress, "which is likely,
Unless something is done, to push prices
ahd rents and the whole cost of living
higher and yet higher in a vicious ejele
to which there is no logical or natural
end.
Some Methods Criminal
"Some of the methods by which these
prices are produced are already illegal,
some ofvthem criminal, and those who
(Employ them will bo energetically pio-
ceeded against ; but others have not
yet been brought under the law and
should be dealt with at once br lecis-
llatlon."
Demands for Increases of wages, ae-
Icompnnjlng the rising costs of living,
the President said, were Justified, "if
vtherc be no other means of enabling men
Ho live."

Text of Wilson Message
On High Cost of Living
R the Associated Tress
Washington, Aug. 8. President
Wilson's nddtcsR to Congress today cm
hodjliig icrommendatlnns designed to
i educe the cost of living follows:
(ientleineu of the Congiess:
I have sought this opportunity to
address jou because it' is clearly mj
duty to call jour attention to the
present cost of living nnd to uigc
upon jou with nil the persuasive force
of which I mn capable the legislative
incisures which would lie most cfTee
the in continuing it nnd briugiug it
down.
'J he pi Ices the people of this conn
tiy aie pi) lug for everjtliing that It
is netessai) for them to use In order
to live arc not justified by n. shortage
in supply, either present or prospec
tive, nnd am In many cases artificial
I) and dellheiatcly created by lcIous
practices wlilrh ought Immediately to
bo checked by law.
The) constitute a burden upon us
which is the mote unbearable because
we Know that it is willfully imposed
hv those who have the power and
that it can bv vigorous public action
be greatlj lightened and made to
square with the actual conditions of
Mippl) nnd demand.
Koine of the methods bj which
these pi ices aie pioduced are already
illegal, some of them ciiminnl and
those who cinplov them will be en
ergeticnllv pioceeded against, but
otheis have not jet been brought tin
dei the law, and should be dealt with
at miLC bj legislation.

If Patterson Fails to Run, Or
ganization Faces Real Crisis,
Says McCain
NO CHANCE FOR HARMONY
B) C.EOROE NOX McCAIN
The divlaiatiou of Congressman J.
Hampton Moore which accompanied the
announcement of his candidacy for
Major is the most elefinnt utterance thnt
has come fiom any candidnte for mu
nicipal office in n generation.
Theie is no equivocation or cnlcu'
luted evasion in his statement. He is
squarely in the open. He has flung
a ihallengc in its most emphatic form
nt the fet of the rcgtilnr organization.
The unqualified assertion, "It is
Moore or Vare," indicates that he has
binned his bridges behind him. Itj it
he emphasizes the fact that he is read)
to stake his political career upon the
result of his campaign, thnt he has
thrown into the balame nil his hopes
nnd ambitious for a high career in
Washington.
A Practical Politician
He is a practical politician, a skilled
organizer, a trained nnd persuasive
speaker. He is not a dilettante. He is
not a candidate who seeks election by
the aid of "resolutions or mahogany
de fixtures." Quite the contrary, as
his past career demonstrates. A cam
paign unprecedented in the political his
tory of Philadelphia is prophetic of his
declarations.
Years ago when David Martin tore
himself loose over-night from the Pen-rose-Qua)
-Durham control and named
Charles V. Warwick for Ma.vor, the epi
sode was a political incident. Con
gressman Moore's action marks a crisis.
The regular Republican organization
is face to face with a condition which
it cannot evade. It must accept or re
flect. The very nnture of the challenge
precludes the possibility of its accept
ance of Mr. Moore as a candidate. It
was a possibility, however, that was
praj cd for by the pacifists in the ranks.
To meet the candidate nnd the defiance
of the Independents Senator Vaie and
his follow eis must have a standard
bearer of equal popularity and per-

set iu which is likelv. unless some
thing Is done, to push prices and
rents and the whole cost of living
higher and jet higher, in n vicious
c.vde, to which there is no logical not
nntiirnl end.
With the increase in the price of
necessaries come demands for in
creases in wages demands which
are justified if theic he no other
means of enabling nfen to live.
I'pon the increase of wages there
follows close an ineiease iu the piiec
of the pioduets whose piodueers have
been nciorded the increase not a

facttuer does not content himself
with that but nil increase consider

cost and for which the ndded wage
cost is oftentimes hurdlj moic thau
nn excuse.
The laboieis who do not get nn in
crease in pnv when thev demand it
nti' likelv to strike, nnd the stiike
only ninkes matters worse. It checks
production. If it affects the mil
wajs it prevents distribution and
stiips the markets, so that there is
present!) nothing to buv, and there
is another excessive aildition to prices
lcsulting from the scaicity.
Action Is Necessary
These aie facts and forces with
which we have become onlv too fa

cause' of our familinritj with them,

conclusion, that the) are "natural"

awaiting word from the unions that all
of the striking shopmen had returned
to work, before undertaking to carr)
out Piesldent Wilson's iiistiuctions to
settle the! wage coutro'vcisy ou its
merits.
The telegraph s)stem of the rail
road administration was put at the ells
posal of the union officers nnd peremp
tory orders that the men should, go hack
to the job went out to 500 local chair
men. Until the men have rcsHimed work,
railroad administration officials said
they would not discuss the procedure
to be employed iu adjusting the wage
demands.
As the shopmen's reasons for wanting
a 23 per cent ineiease have been con
sidered tlioroughl) by the board of rail
load wages anil woiklug conditions,
which divided three to three, it was be
lieved possible that the evidence in that
lasc would be put Immediately before
the dnector general for a decision.
New Wage Board Probable
Other unions have demands pending,
however, which will necessitate the
presentation of evidence, and to hear
this a new board may be constituted or
the old board enlargeel to twelve, iu ac
cordance with the suggestions of union
men.
Kqunl representation between the two
sides would be retained, but men spe
cially qualified to deal with the suhjeit
in hand would be appointed to handle
the different classes of wages.
Mr. Hines is understood to consider
that two main points are involved in the
settlement of wage demands: Pitst,
how much has the cost of living in
creased be)oud the increase In wages.
