Chicago, Aug. 11.—Illinois has a coal “dictator” today in the person of Chief Justice Orrin N. Carter, of prohibitionists of this |” the Illinois stpreme court, who will |tower the price of coal and fix the rate per ton. The appointment was made by Governor Lowden after he entered into an agreement with coal opera- tors of the state in which they signed a waterproof agreement bind- ing them to reserve sufficient coal to supply the needs of the state and to sell it at a price to be fixed by Jus- tice Carter. As coal dictator Justice Carter will arrange with the railroads for the equitable distribution of coal to all sections of the state. The federal control of coal will not affect the Illinois arrangement, except that in no cases can the-coal prices in Illinois be higher than the maximum fixed by federal authori- ties.

Washington, Aug. 11.—Coal_ deal- ers who increase their prices for an- thracite more than ten cents a ton before September 1 will be consid- ered by the Federal Trade Commis- sion as openly declaring “a policy profiteering.” : Indications are that bituminous coal prices will be reduced in the fu- ture, the commission announces. Wholesale and retail coal dealers TO RESTORE 5-CENT BREAD Dr. H. J. Waters of Kansas Will Be Offered a Place on Committee to Fix Crop Prices. Washington, Aug. 13.—The res- toration of the 5-cent loaf of bread— not a skimpy or reduced size, but the genuine old time §-cent loaf—is the goal from the consumer's standpoint to which the food administration is looking in the regulation it has es- tablished for wheat and flour. Persons connected with the food administration are confident that this can be brought about, even with wheat selling at an abnormal, or war price, but it will not’ be until. the “price” committee, separate and dis- tinct from the wheat board, has es- tablished the price the 1917 harvest shall bring ‘and the food administra- tion then has worked out the stable price for flour that will hold the en- tire twelve months through, that it can be told whether this goal will be reached or how near it .will be reached. Right now interest largely centers in the personnel of the “price” board which will determine the price which shall be paid for the 1917 harvest. It was announced yesterday that Presi- dent Garfield of Williams College will head the committee. It became known tonight that Dr. H. J. Wat- ers, president of the Kansas State Agricultural College, would be ° of- fered a place on the committee as one of the representatives of the farm in- terests of the Nation. Several other, men from the wheat growing sec- tions and representing the farmers will be on the committee, to see that they get fair play and are represent- ed in the price that will be fixed, Qn the other hand, it is known that a prominent union labor repre- sentative will be named to present labor’s angle in the “bread” prob- lem. The personnel of the committee probably will be made public the last of the week. It will have one of the most important problems ever put up to a body, setting a fair price that not farmers in one section, but the entire Nation over, will get for their year’s crop of wheat. The price of next year’s crop already is fixed by law, a minimum of $2 a bushel. Un- til this board meets and goes over ev- ery phase of the question, it will be impossible to hazard an opinion as to what price it will fix. The Canadian government, it is known, has set the mark in Canada between $1.90 and $2 a bushel. While the Food Control Act does not pro- vide that the government fix an ab- solute price for wheat, by virtue of control of the markets and by the export license provisions of a meas- ure previously passed, the govern- ment possesses a practical power to keep the price at the figure agreed upon, and this is the power the food administration proposes to exercise in order to get a stable price for flour the entire year through, As soon as the wheat price is fixed the food administration will be im posi- tion to put a stable price on flour. It can then work out what bread should cost. If bakers in the various | localities do not sell bread at a fair profit and no more, based on the fixed price of flour, then the govern- ment will know who to go after. The Hoover statement brought a bitter attack from Senator Reed of Missouri. Although the bill is a law, Reed denounced in a frothy “I told you so” sort of speech the move tak- en by Mr. Hoover. Again he re- ferred to him as “this man who has spent all the grownup years of his life in England and has his home there,” and said Hoover had sought power under a guise that he would not use and now was trying to use on the farmer. Reed charged that Hoover would administer the food regulation in the interest of England and not of the United States.. He said Hoover, in effect, was seizing the grain markets, the grain exchanges and that the farmer would have only one place to sell—in a market established and created by Hoover. He complained of the stopping of sales of futures ia wheat, he complained of the provis- ions forbidding storage more than thirty days except with consent of the food administration. : Reed said that Congress had com- mitted a crime against democracy in passing the bill, that it was foolish and undemocratic, and wound up by advising his fellow members to read the decree of “their new master they had created.” HOUSEWORK IS A BURDEN Woman’s lot is a weary one at best.
