Broader Powers
Washington, Sept. 9. Broader
powers for the Federal Trade Com
mlesion so it may "stand as a po
liceman," regulate business, reduce
prices by maintaining competition
and eliminate unfair practices, were
asked of Congress by Commissioner
Victor Murdock.
At the House Judiciary Commit
tee's hearings on changes in anti
trust and other existing laws that
might affect the cost of living. Com
missioner Murdock declared volun
tary combinations of business men
tended toward eliminating compe
tition and Axing prices. He inti
mated that he included the Ameri
can Steel Institute.
"Wouldn't you like to investigate
the famous Gary dinners?" asked
Representative Steele (Democrat),
Pennsylvania.
"That's an example of what wc
want to inquire into."

CONFERENCE CALL
OVERLOOKED JUST
PLAIN CITIZENS
Most Interested Parties Not
Mentioned as in on
Wilson's Plan
Washington, Sept. 9. —The elev
enth-hour announcement by Presi
dent Wilson, on the eve of his de
parture for a second prolonged ab
sence from the capital, that he would
call together a conference of capital
and labor "at as early a date as
practicable," has been received gen
erally as an attempt tipon the part
of the Administration to soften the
nation-wide criticism of the Presi
dent for leaving Washington at this
time. Following almost immediately
upon the heels of the suggestion by
a member of the President's official
family—Secretary Lane—that such
a conference should be called im
mediately, and the resolutions in
troduced in the House of Represen
tatives Kodenberg, of Illinois, and
Strong, of Kansas, urging the Pres
ident to postpone his proposed tour
of the country until the present
oconomic crisis had passed it can
scarcely be doubted that President
Wilson saw the necessity for taking
steps that would at least give the
impression that he was doing some
thing to meet the situation. Hence,
the announcement from the White
House that a conference would be
called "at as early a date as prac
ticable," an announcement which,
except for political reasons, might
just as well have been made at the
conclusion of the President's tour.

publicans or Democrats, as to the
! advisability of some such conference.
Long before President Wilson's an
nouncement, Senator Poindexter and
other members of the Senate and
House had introduced measures call
ing for the creution of such a con
ference, and the Joint committee on
labor is now at work, giving final
form to a bill which will provide for
the creation of a permanent econo
mic commission to which all differ
ences between capital and labor can
be referred "or adjustment.
This commission will be composed
not only of representatives of capi
tal and labor, but will also have in
its membership representatives of
the in-between class, the "plain citi
zen"—the clerk and professional
man—those who get salaries instead
of wages, and. in a way, the general
public. This is a point, in the opin
ion of Chairman J. M. C. Smith, of
the House Committee on Labor,
which the President completely over
looked in his Labor Day announce
ment. Mr. Sniith said to-day:
The General Public
"The President, apparently, has
nothing to say about the interests of
the genernl public, in calling togeth
er a conference of capital and labor.
It is the general public that is most
vitally interested in all adjustments
between the employer and the labor
ing man, and he should be given a
voice in such settlements. In the
measures now being considered by
my committee the citizen who is not
directly concerned in the relations
of capital and labor, but is indirectly
affected very vitally, is given a place
in these deliberations, which is the
only proper way in which to arrange
matters.'

HOUSANDS INSPECT THE
BRITISH MYSTERY SHIP, P-31
London, Sept. 9. •*- Thousands of
persons waited in line for hours to
Bet a close-up peep at the P-31, a
British anti-submarine "mystery"
ship which was moored off Queen
Victoria Embankment for a two
days' public inspection at the close
of the official Peace celebrations.
The P-31 was the first of the "hush"
craft the public was permitted to
see at close ranße.
It was only ten yards from the
embankment to the quaint looking
U-boat lighter, but the intervening
distance had to be made in smull
boats. Theso each carried eight
passengers. It required but a few
strokes of the oars to make the
"trip"—and the fare was one shill
ing, so the waterman's pockets soon
were bulging but there was no com
plaint about "profiteering."
Among the thousands of curious
who swarmed over the vessel were
a number of American soldiers.
Some of them took a peculiar In
terest in the guides' explanations
and comment on the boat's "trick"
fittings—her geared turbines, gad
gets, depth-charge throwers and
paravanes. It recalled to them a
night of peril through which they
passed from Southampton or Win
chester across the submari ,e and
mine-infested English channel, en
route to Le Havre or somo other
French port—and the war. That
night of fearful expectancy passed
safely, they had marveled at the
efficiency of the convoying craft
which they knew had been off in
the darkness somewhere, ploughing
through rolling breakers, eager for
an encounter—with its frequent
aftermath of "oil and bubbles"
from a vanquished undersea boat.
But as theso doughboy spectators
heard a number of the crew of the
"hush" ship say: "She does every
thing but loop-the-loop," and saw
others demonstrate parts of the
ship's fighting equipment hitherto

The "P-31" is 244 feet lonß. with
narrow beam, seven-foot draught
and equipped with independent en
gines, fore and aft, that can speed

forward and low at the stern, the

designer intended.

brushes with enemy craft, he ex

How Are Your Kidneys?
Asks Dr. Carey, Specialist
Famous Kidney and Bladder Physician Retiring From Active
Practice Appoints George A. Gorgas Agent in This
Vicinity For His Great Medicine, Marshroot
During his forty years of constant
practice Dr. Danial G. Carey has help
ed many thousands of despairing kid
ney diseased men and women in all
sections of the country to regain ro
bust health.
Don't tako any chances with your
kidneys. If you have the faintest sus
picion that your kidneys are weak or
your bladder is irritated the wisest
thing you can do is to get a bottle of
Dr. Carey's Marshroot at once.
Remember, Marshroot is not a cure
all or patent medicine, but is Dr.
Carey's most wonderful prescription,
which he now gives to all the world
and his army of patients only because
lie has decided to retire from active
practice.
Tho tiniest signals often indicate
that the kidneys are ailing and need
attention.

specks lloating before the eyes.

Often the joints ache or you have
quick, darting pains shooting through
the hack or side.
Then again that frequent desire to
empty the bladder, cold, clammy feet
and Just a little pufflness under tho
eyes.
Occasionally the hands or feet swell
slightly and the palms of the hands
are moist.
No regular practicing physician has
devoted more time to the study of
kidney and bladder diseases than Dr.
Carey. He himself asserts that many
thousands of cases of Bright's disease
and even diabetes could have been
conquered by Marshroot, if it had
been taken in time. Hereafter you can
always get this effective prescription
at George A. Gorgas and all reliablo
pharmacists tho country over. Keep
in mind the name, Dr. Carey's Marsh
root. No other medicine can take its
place.
