Newspaper Page TextFOOD COMMITTEE IS PLAYING A WAITING "GAME" Expect Prices of Foodstuffs to Come Down With New Crops That the people of Harrisburg may | look for canned goods and other food- j stuffs at a lower cost in the very near | future is the belief of Mayor Daniel ! L. Keister and the majority of the members of his Municipal Food Com- | mittee. Nothing new in figures has , turned up, but reports have been in | circulation that shortly surplus | goods now in the hands of packers I will be let loose in order to make j room for the new supply now coming | in. What effect this will have on the j government prices cannot be ex- j plained at this time. Mayor Keistet j is of the opinion that it must be a | waiting game, and that no definite j steps should be taken until Lieut. | •I. R. Boyle gives his information to j the committee. In other cities throughout the United States there | has been a halt in buying government j goods, because of the likelihood of a further cut in wholesale and re- . tail prices. It is probable a meeting of the j subcommittee will be held Saturday, j and the general corfimittee will be called together on Monday to hear a I report on new prices and recommen- j datlons. Attention was called by one | housewife yesterday that she was j able to buy at retail certain canned j goods much lower than the prices j quoted by the government. This is j just what the committee hopes to j overcome if a purchase is made. It j is expected that Captain Stine will ; have some interesting information on j his return to Harrisburg to-morrow, and will call a meeting for Satur day. TO UNROLL/ 204) Two hundred more new membeis! of H. C. Calder Post No. 31, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, are to be en rolled at the next meeting it was announced. The membership at present totals 600, 238 having been added at the meeting last week. It was announced that all men who served outside the United States are eligible for membership, wheth er they were in the American or Allied armies. Meetings of the post are held on the first and third Wed nesday of each month. 1 More of Those Men's and Young Men's 1 I Palm lleach lI | Suits Now if you want to get a genuine Palm j\j ||U Beach Suit this is your chance.

I Lines Into Twenty or Thirty • Competing Systems Washington, July 24.Private own ership and operation of railroads, merged into 20 or 30 great compel-, ing systems under the supervision I of a Federal Transportation Board. | with a statutory rule of rate- making I assuring to the roads a net return ! of six per cent,, was offered to tjio , i House Commerce Committee as the 1 j plan of the National Transportation I Conference. Harry A. Wheeler, of Chicago, for | mer president of the Chamber ot I Commerce of the United States, | which assembled the conference, ex plained that hearings had been held for six months, at which shippers, j railroad men, labor union officials , j and bankers had been heard. The / plan evolved was said to be a com- 1 | bination of t>ic best features of plans . j already put forward, with some new i j elements, assembled into what the j j conference regarded as a harmoni- : ous whole. Continued Government operation I j until remedial legislation is enacted | was urged by the conference, with j ! the limitation that such legislation I i should be enacted this year. With | j the return of the roads, at a time j I when many probably will be show- | ing deficits, the conference thought j ! there should be made available by j ' Congress a railroad reserve fund of ; ! $500,000,000, administered by lie | j proposed Federal Transportation I | Board for the stabilization of the i , roads' credit and to facilitate the j j recommended consolidations. The j | sum eventually would be returned to i j the Government. Favor Six Per Cent. Return I Government guarantee of earnings j was not favored by the conference, j Instead, it was urged that the Intel- i state Confmcrce Commission be | made responsible for rates and fares designed to yield the carriers in each ! designated traffic section not less than 6 per cent, upon the aggregate fair value of the property. Those roads earning more than 6 per cent, would bo required to put half the excess into a company contingent fund until the fund amounted to 6 per cent, of the fair value of the company's rpoperty, the other half going to a general railroad conting ent fund administered by trustees : appointed by Government authority I and maintained for the benefit of all j the railroads of the country.
