Washington, June 30.—Profiteering on a tremendous scale in practically all the basic commodities of life reported to the senate yesters ithe federal trade commission the result of an exhaustive investigation. as “Inordinate greed fraud,” as well as “war pressure for heavy production,” the committee re- ported as the causes. Reappraisements of properties were made by great concerns when it be- came evident that the government was labout to fix prices on a basis of re- turn on investment, the report soys, and salaries, allowances and expenses and barefaced were in many instances padded to show increased cost of conducfing business. s The outstanding feature of its in- vestigation, the commission reported, was the evidence of a tendency tosin- crease and maintain prices against the forces of competition. Of all the big profits disclosed my the investigation, the report says, the profits of the meat packers and those allied with them and by the flour millers stand fore- most, despite the fixing of prices by the government. Manipulations of the market by five great meat packers—Armour, Swift, Morris, Wilson and Cudahy—the com- mission asserts, “embrace every de- vice that is useful to them without re- gard to law.” The report charges that the five con- cerns have monopolistic control of the meat industry and “are reaching for like domination in other products.” During 1915, 1916 and 1917, the re- port says, these companies “pocketed” $140,000,000. “The experience with steel, flour and coal” eays the report, referring to price fixing, “shows that a high stimu- lating fixed price, while stabilizing an ascending market, produces an eco- nomic situation which is fraught with hardship to the consuming public ana with ultimate peril to the high cost companies through increasing power of their low cost competitors.” 35 LYNCHINGS IN THE .

Says Motor Trucks Have Rendercd Other System Obsolete. Washington, June 30. — President Wilson yesterday vetoed the postoffice appropriation measure containing the provision for pneumatic tubes, against which the postmaster general has fought consistently, and succeeded in having the bill passed again in the house in record time with no provision for the tubes. As no money is pre vided for the rental of the tube sys- tems in New York, Chicago, Philadel- phia and the other cities now having the system, use of that method of dis- tributing mail will have to be aban- doned. An effort was made by proponents of the tubes.to pass the bill over the veto with provision in it for retention of the tubes until March 4, 1919, with investigation by the interstate com- merce commission in the meanwhile to determine the expediency and necessi- ty of retaining the tube systems. This effort failed miserably, only 113 votes being cast in favor of passing the over the president's yeto, members voted no. The president’s veto message stated that he “was convinced that there is no moral or legal obligation resting on the government to continue the use of these tubes by rental” The growing! while 187 volume of mail and the installation of have made the ftubes ractically obsolete,” the message . “and quite unnecessary, and in fact a hindrance to the efficient opera- tion of the postal service.” The mes- saze declared that no loss of time in: mail deliveries would result through abandonment of the tubes, and that “tkis mail could be handled at less| cost ‘and more expeditiously by other means.” ARRIVAL OF 20 MORE SURVIVORS OF DWINSK Twenty-three Members of the Crew of 148 Still Are Missing.
