called by flinernor Sproul lo consider
the hlgli cost of living, was convened
in the chamber of the State House of
Iteprcsentatives. Mr. Palmer told of
splendid work accomplished by fnir
prico committees in vlrluiilly all states.
There were no decreases in living
costs in Philadelphia quoted by Mr.
Palmer. This is because Philadelphia
has no fair-price committee, Mr.
Palmer said in a recent statement,

ProdlccVs Cause High Prices
The attorney general charged that the
high prices from which the country is
now suffering were largely chargeable to
profiteering and hoarding.
He told of efforts to put teeth in the
Lever bill, and of prosecutions thai
preceded and followed the enactment of
additional legislation. Heavy seizures
, of food have been made 111 many stiiie,
and in about half the instances th
, food has been sold under government
I supervision at fair prices in place of
I fining the firms guilty of hoarding or

RAIL PROBLEM
.HP.
Failure of Congress to Legislato
Effectively Frightens
Party Chiefs
CUMMINS BILL A POSER
n
CLINTON V. (ilLltliltT 1
Man t'orropondfiil nt the Dlrnlnr Public I
MSIrer
Wasblngloii. Nov. C The railroad
issue looms large and threatening.
The Uepubllcnn lenders here are
frightened by their own failure to pass
Ihe legislation asked for by the Presi
dent several months ngo, to provide for
the return of the railroads to private
ownership. Tear is felt that if
the railroads arc turned back to their
old owners nt the pud of December,
upon temporary legislation. Congress
will spend the greater part of next rai'
debating the Cummins I'nllrnnd bill.
The issue is ns big 11 ml as difficult as
the treaty itself.
The Mllli . hi rlLi, liriivioli-in In Itir, flint.
niiiis lilll alone will prove the object
of n long dispute. The House of Itepre-
sentntlves, which has toseeli re-election
ne.t full nut agreeing with the .Senate
on this proposition.
Anil if it finally yields, the President
may be expected lo veto the bill, his I
auvisers in the rallroail nilininlsirntiou 1
neuig oposm to lorbnlillng strikes.
Adniinist rat ion Drtrriiiinrd
The ltepubllcnns bine lllllc choice
in the mailer of passing temporary leg
islation and leaving peiinaneut legiln
linii over till next session, for there is
every indication Hint Ihe administration
is fully determined to return the rnil-
londs at the announced time. Senator
-
ummms is said not lo
be averse to
I temporary legislation provided a suit
1 able beginning is made upon permanent
I legislation before the roads me returned
' to their owners.
1 Tn the way, however, of making any
eflcctive beginning of final legislation,
lies Ihe undisposed -of treaty.
Senator Cummins threatened the other
lav lo move the displacement of the
treaty by the railroad bill, if final notion
upon the treaty did not come shortly.
Put it is doubtful whether the Itepubli
can party would take the responsibility
for displacing the treaty and leaving
pence with Germany deadlocked.
l'niliire to tnnke peace will be just
ns much to the discredit of the party
as the failure to pass railroad legisln
tiou. The administration is probably
taking advantage of this dileinmn in
which Hie Itepiiblicans find themselves
lo mess for the immediate return of Hie
railroads.
Labor Problem in 1tarh;roiind
In the background of the situation
lies, us usual, the labor question. The
railroad brotherhoods have demanded
1111 increase of wages. Unly the shop
men have been sat Hied, and they onl
temporarily. They have generally agreed
not to press tlieir ileuuinils nr once, nut
1 to nllow
Ihe 'resilient some tune ill
reduce the cost of living bc-
which to
, r,m. insisting upon an increase in wages,
T,p lime allowed is short. The de-
nip nils for higher wages will soon be
pressed and have to be met.
As the roads are soon to go into pri
vate hands in an event, the admin
istration takes Hie ground, naturally,
that it should nol loud the private
operators of the road with charges in
the shape of higher wages. The ques
tion of increasing pay should go over
to the men who will have to operate tho
roads, One criticism of the govern
ment already heard is that 'its liberality
to workers lias increased the cost of
operation so much that the railroads
face bankruptcy unless freight rates
are again advanced, The government
naturally does not wunt to afford again
1111 excuse for 1111 iuerease of the cost
of transportation to the country.
Wage Issue embarrassing
The issue of wnges to railroad work
ers is embarrassing to the government.
To advance wages is to afford excuse
for advances generally and intcrfero with
, the K0Vl,rnmPt'K efforts to reduce the
cost of living. To refuse to advance
them is to invito a strike. The govern
ment has a way out of its embarrass
ment, because Hi? question of adding
to crisis' of operation naturally should
be determined by the men who will be
responsible for the operation of the
railroads.
Hut the labor question presses. It.
cannot be long postponed, and for that
1 reason the return of the railroads to
ineir owners cannoi. oc long posipoueu.
One Hope of Leaders
One hope the Senate leaders have of
meeting the situation is that the lisch
railroad bill cau be rushed through the
House by the cud of next week, An nt
lenipt will then bo made to take it' up
instead of the Cummins bill, Seimtor
Cummins will probably oppose this, hut
he may be induced to modify bis bill
by taking oqt all the disputable sec
tions, such as the nnti-strike section :
Hint is lo make it correspond to the
Kseh bill, while still carrying Cum
mins's name,
The Ksch bill provides for four
