The Rtrnggle for political control ot
Philadelphia i enters itself. nroording
to popular idea, around tlie office of
Major. It is an erroneous idea.
TIip fight properly concentrntos on
members of Council. There nre twenty-
one of them to be elected. The Council
Is the real power.
Which ever side controls the council
manic body, that side will control for
good or for evil tho future of Phila
delphia for the next four j.ears.
The twentj -one members of the new
Council will be the real rulers .of the
rity. The Major will be its titular
head. His hands can bo tied effectually
by the twentj -one If they so desire.
For these reasons it is well to know
what manner of men are socking a place
In this verj powerful bodj.

A moat important contribution to the

was made toda bv William A Olas

Next to Mr. Hooer nnd the acting I

cilasgow Is tlie Highest ntnciai in nie
l nited Stntcs food administration. He
is thoroughly familiar wih all food
laws; in fact, drafted most of them.
Mr. CJlnsgow is one of the loaders
of the bar in this country. Ills state
ment was issued in response to a re
quest from the Hvknino I'fliMr
Lrnocn In view of the agitation of the
food question over the entire I'nlted
Stntes.
"fouMr,iv"e asked 7,, expression of
view uso the high cost of necessaries
of life. Our industrial and economic
sj stems arc thtentencd; social life is
burdened; tharities are mor difficult to
support, and generiillj the cry for sup
plies of food und other necessaries at

"It has been suggested that laws be
enacted authorizing the creation of ma-
ciuner." oj tne teuerai government to
fix 'fair prices," and providing lino nnd
imprisonment of profiteers. Such ac
tion mav be helpful, nnd tertaluly
profiteering should be made a tiime
and punished, but there are many ob
jections to this course.
Objections to Proposed Laws
'Tirst. The exorcise of sicli a func
tion by the federal government is con
trnrj to every conception of consti
tutional government to which our peo
ple have been accustomed and would
require an army of federal inspectors
and prosecutors which might he intol
erable. "Second. The tendency of stich a
course would be to discourage produc
tion if the established arbitrary prices
limited the maximum basis upon which
the producer could hope to reach the
market.
"Third. Such n plan would seem
impracticable unless the prices of the
producer nnd wholesaler were fixed tat
the same time that the retailer's prices
were fixed.
"Fourth. Such a course would tend
to increase exports to the depletion
of the supplj for domestic distribu
tion. "Fifth. Tho power of Congress to
enact such legislation at this time would
seem doubtful, and if it should be
held justified by a technical state of
war. would terminate with the procla
mation of ,penco, which cannot be fnr
off.
"The hope of tiding over this tem
porary condition seems to mo along
other lines. We are living today-upon
scale which rould hardly be said (o
be necessary, but that there should bo
n reduction to more simple and econom
ical life the people must be convinced
there Is a necessity therefor. -
"I am afraid the prospect held out)
that legislation or prosecutions will re
duce prices so that the present scale of
living may continue, but at less cost, Js
a false hope. v
"Profiteer CanTJe Heatrn"
"The work can only be successfully
carried on under the guidance of n gov
ernment agency in close touch with
volunteer organizations' all over the
couutrj, arousing continued and sjs
tematie interest among the iieoplc and
advising them as to the foods nnd other
supplies necessary to their comfort and
which can be secured on the most rca
sonable tcrmR.
"I havo little faith in other thnu an

who sees relief from the high cost

Washington. Aug. 20 In the in
dustrial and labor crisis that exists,
ont ,s has been driven to
!' oiiMilting with his old advdsors, ox-
Secretnry of the Trensurj McAdoo and
thr former chairman of the war in-
(,ustlipH bojl(Ii Mr Haruch.
Itoth have been in conference with
the President and tlie labor situation
and the high cost of living were thor
oughlj discussed, and plans were con
sideied for promoting co-operation
among the various producing and nier-
gcr of labor troubles.
Tho critical situation fnr the countij
and for the Demountic partj and for
Present WIKon himself was clearlv
recognied. But the view of the White
House is hopeful. It is the belief
of the advisers of the President that
the rise in prices has pissed its climax.
Those familiar with industrial condi
tions thinks that prices are tending
to become stabilised, and when stabili-
level slightly lower than the high point
leached during the violent ilsc. This
view does not hold out much hope
of an alleviation of conditions, but.
:" y " " mm - tit the pros.
out tencbucv
to advance has about uiu
its course.
President to Fight
So far us labor is concerned, it urn
not lie said too stronglj thnt the pres
cnt intention of the President is to
light. I'uless there is a change in tlie
opinion of the White House, the histor.v
of ,10111 will not repent itself. The
railroad labor unions may expect the
treatment the railroad shopmen havo
roceivod. If there are an.v inequalities
or unfairness in the rate at which tliej
nre paid compared with similar classes
of labor simllarlj placed, thej will be
adjusted, but if that settlement is not
uccopted and the unions choose to
strike, the President will light.
Uveiy one nbout him is of the opinfon
thnt if a fight is to come it might us
well conic now uud be g"6t through with.
A stand has to bo made against the nd
vnncing cost of living. If the railroad
labor unions furnish the occasion for
making the stand, their challenge will
be accepted.
Mr. (inmpors is another of the old
wartime advisers of the President who
has just come to Washington for n con
ference over tho threatened strike id
tho steel industry. Mr. Gonipers's po
sition Im difficult. Some of the Strong
est unions in the Federation of I.ubor
have bo onie radical, and the head of
the1 federation mav be forced to swing
over to tlie radical sider - In that case
he will have to break with the Presi
dent, for the President has set his face
against labor radicalism.

to support the President. Ills
