HOOVER LIKELY TO QUIT (Continued trom First Pape.) of Congress in such form as seemed to him unworkable. The Senate, in its final cast of the food bill this afternoon, put in pretty inucn everything Air. Hoover did not want and eliminated pretty much everything he asked for. which would seem to indicate that it was Mr. Hoov er's move. It does not follow that the President will accept either resignation. In the Goethals case he is likely to give the Panama Canal builder the authority he SIOS dlUnSSB OJ UBlUUSfT 4funo3JlD k'hs-b power over the operation of the ships uuinaia ruuas. What will happen is that the Presi dent will have the two together at the White House, where he will tell them of his dilemma, because of his respect for the ability of both, and will appeal to their patriotism to lay aside their personalities for the good of the country.

The bill limits Government control virtually to the original subjects of the House measure food, feeds and fuels. I.leetiKlng In Limited. In lieu of the House bill's broad pro visions for licensing food dealers, the Senate bill limits Federal licensing to the following agencies, and these only which have products in interstate or foreign commerce: 1 Wheat elevators, cold - storage and packing-houses, farm Implement fac tories, coal producers and dealers and wholesalers of designated necessaries. The House bill's provisions for Fed eral requisitioning of necessaries is limited by the Senate redraft to foods, feeds and fuels and other supplies for military purposes .only. Government Purchase Limited. Government purchase and sale of foodstuffs to maintain reasonable prices also is limited by the Senate bill to fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans and potatoes. The House provision for authority to requisition factories generally was cur tailed by the Senate to factories, pack ing houses, mines and other plants needed for military or other public use connected with the common defense. A Senate amendment regarding Gov ernment war supplies purchased through the Defense Council's advisory commissions would prevent members from soliciting Federal contracts in which they are pecuniarily interested. Among amendments to the House bill stricken out was that establishing a general Government control of all nec essaries. Neither House nor Senate draft contains the original Administra tion proposals for Government control of clothing and maximum price fixing. La Kollettc XUtpM Hoover. The charge that the bill is the work of special interests that have usurped the power of the Senate agriculture committee, was made by Senator La Follette in his first speech since the measure was introduced in the Senate. He asserted that the interests repre sented the manufacturers of New Eng land, the aluminum, copper and the steel interests and had revamped the bill to remove from it the burden it had placed upon their shoulders and transfer it- to the farmers to be regu lated by a board. Herbert Hoover, he said, had testified before the Senate agriculture committee that he favored forcing the price of wheat down to 75 cents a bushel. The anti-hoarding clause and that authorizing the President to close grain exchanges if necessary to stop trading in futures, written into the first food production bill. were accepted as amendment to the pending measure. Wheat Minimum Continued. An amendment by Senator Gore, pro viding that in selling fuel, wheat, flour and other foods such sales shall be for cash only, was adopted without a record vote. Senator Hitchcock's amendment ex tending the payment of .the minimum price for wheat to July 1. 1919, instead of January 1, 1919, was accepted with out a vote. Senator Hitchcock's amendment pro viding that'tne minimum price of $2 a bushel for wheat, as provided for in the Chamberlain amendment, should be in effect at the principal interior pri mary markets instead of at only one interior market, was accepted by a vote of 49 to 32. The amendment of Senator Pomerene authorizing the President, through the Federal Trade Commission, to fix prices of coal and coke during the war, to take over at a reasonable price and operate coal mines and to regulate wholesale and retail distribution and wages of coal miners was adopted, 72 to 12. Those voting against the Pomerene amendment were Chamberlain, Demo crat, and Brandegees, Colt. France. Knox, Lodge. McLean. Penrose, Suth erland. Wadsworth, Warren and Weeks, Republicans. An amendment by Senator Owen creating a joint Congressional com mittee on expenditures of war to su pervise appropriations, was accepted. 53 to 31, many Democrats joining with solid Republican vote for it. The committee will be composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. An amendment by Senator Tillman appropriating $10,000,000 for Govern ment purchase of nitrate of soda for fertilizer and its sale at cost, was adopted. 50 to 29. In a final vote, the Senate rejected. 60 to 23, Senator Shafroth's amendment proposing a single food administrator, instead of the board f three members provided in the bill. PORTLAND PRIMARY MARKET Price or $2 for Wheat to Be Paid for Delivery Here. OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 21. The Senate amend ment to the food bill adopted by the Senate today fixed a minimum price of wheat at 12 a bushel, and is interpreted by Western Senators to mean that this price will apply to Portland and Seat tle, which are primary markets for the Northwest. The wheat growers of the Inland Empire are not guaranteed $2 by this provision, but J2, less the freight rate from the point of production to either Portland or Seattle. RUSSIANS AGAIN QUIT Further Retreat Is Admitted in. East Galicia. l'OOD BILL PASSES, 81 TO 6 Measure Praclieally Rewritten From the House Draft. WASHINGTON, July 21. The Admin istration food control bill, virtually re written after five weeks bitter con test, was passed today by the Senate, 81 to 6. Conferees from House and Senate will begin work early next week, and leaders are hopeful the meas ure may ue in tne rreaioent a hands in 10 days. As revamped, the bill gives the Presi dent broad authority over foods, feeds and fuels, the latter including kerosene and gasoline; provides for administra tion by a food board of three members instead of an individual: authorizes 3''ederal fixing of coal prices, requisi tioning and operation of mines, and authorizes a minimum guaranteed price of not less than i- per bushel for wheal at primary markets. The Senate prohibition sections, pro Tnibiting manufacture of distilled bev erages during the war. and directing the President to buy all distilled spir its in bond, was substituted for the House "bone-dry" provision and will be one subject of difficulty in confer ence. Many Changes Made. Scores of amendments were disposed of today, but the principal features were the incorporation of the amend jiient authorizing the minimum wheat price and another by Senator Pomerene creatlv broadening the Government's power to handle the coal situation. The Government guarantee for wheat would be payable at all principal interior pri mary markets until July 1. 1919. The Senate rejected. 46 to 33. an amend ment by Senator Norrls to have the food board, instead of Congress, fix the minimum price. Six Vote Against Bill.

POTATO CROP ENORMOUS Problem In March One of Supplies; Now Problem Is Merely That of Prices and Distribu tion of Foodstuffs. LONDON, July 21. Kennedy Jones, retiring director-general of food econ omy, declared in an interview today that England's food supply for the year was assured, even lr tne present raic of shipping losses were maintained. "In March, he saia, inn uoi i innnin. the partial " v -'" world's wheat crop and the submarine depredations combined lor nisasier. The situation was serious. We held nine weeks' supply oi oreausiuim. Tmlav. through tne voluntary co operation of the people, it is certain we will be able to start tne new cereai year with nearly seven monins siockh, which, together with the enormous potato crop coming into wits '. will make next year's situation a mere question of whether In 12 months- we will be aoie to impuii. hy mui, . supplies. Even if the sinking con tinued at the present rate this should nt he difficult, because of the new tonnage which will become available next month here and in America." Mr. Jones, after reviewing the effect of the measures taken in the "eat less bread" campaign in the United King dom, remarked that no doubt the Ger mans had tried their hardest to create conditions which by this time would prevent England going on with the war but that they had been unable to do. so. "The problem of March was one of supplies." he continued. "The problem no.v is merely that of prices and dis tribution. I believe the economy taught the people will be permanent. There will be no waste in the future as there was before the campaign, and there will be intelligent appreciation of the value of foodstuffs among the working classes and the lower and the middle classts. Compulsory rationing has been made unnecessary by the patriotism and the co-operation of the people. T he stocks on hand now are larger than any one. even six weeks ago, dared to anticipate."
