Judge Ames, asltant attorney gen eral, today wrote to Chairman Hau gen of th& house agricultural com mittee, urging immediate passage of the amendments to the lyer food control bill, providing Jail sentence for profiteers.

TheanvendmeBt upon which Ames raked Immediate action has been before ; congress more than a month and Is now in conference between the house and senate. v j MAST REPORT 8 RECEIVED "Reporta continue coming to this de partment," said Ames, "Indicating profi teering In shoes and other articles in wearing 'apparel. Pending passage of the amendments, the department Is powerless to deal effectively with these reports. . "We are also Just advised that the Holly Sugar corporation of California is placing the new crop of beet sugar on the market at 111.50 per hundredweight, against 19, which in the prevailing price for the old crop. '; Sugar is one of the articles which - mr.de a tremendous advance In retail price in August, according to the labor department. INCREASES NOTED Ames points out the Justice department cannot act in The sugar situation until the amendments are passed, because the new sugar crop will not be controlled by the United States sugar equalization board, which bought and fixed the wholesale price of sugar in the last v crop. Increases of August prices over July were as follows : Eggs and rice, 6 per cent ; Crisco, po , tatoes and raisins, 4 per cent each ; fresh and evaporated milk, coffee and prunes,- 3 per cent ; pork chops, butter, cornmeal, rolled oats, navy beans and sugar 2 per cent ; canned salmon, oleo margarine, cheese, bread, macaroni and oranges, 1 per cent, atyd ham, nut mar garine and tea less than of 1 per cent each.

Property Opposite Oregon City Sells for Over $400,000 One of the most Important real estate transactions of tl:e year has Just been closed, in the purchase of 400 acres of land, with a frontage of ono mile, on the Willamette rUer at West Linn, on- poslte Oregon City, by the Interstate . Sales company, for a consideration in excess of $400,000. - The purchasing "corporation was re cently organized by a grcup ,of Port land and San Francisco business men, headed by Harry W.

By Kenneth Iatour Paris, Sept. 20. The Bulgarian peace delegation is chagrined be cause the allies did not arrange a gorgeous setting for the handing of the peace treaty to the Bulgar en voys. 4 'The Sofia representatives felt that, In asmuch as Bulgaria had fought a long war, they were at least entitled to an impressive ceremony marking their for mal defeat. However, the treaty was handed to them in the simplest possible manner at the Quai d'Drsay, despite the understanding that they had made a formal 'protest against being received without the settings which were accord- ed.JthS' Germans at Versailles and the Austrians at St. Germain. Tite ceremony itself lasted barely 20 minutes. President Theodonoff of the Bulgarian, delegation spoke so low in his reply to Premier Clemenceau that the latter Instructed him to speak louder, which he did, somewhat nervously. Bestowing a significant glance upon M. Vesnitch, the Serbian delegate, Theo donoff said : "We want to live in peace with our neighbors." M. Vesnltch's face assumed an expres sion of Iron, and he did not; have a sin gle symptom of friendliness. Holders of Forged Checks Urged to Get TBeir Money Forged checks are not always worth less, it seems. Two young men, recently indicted for forgery, had in their possession $296 in cash. ' "That ought to go to - the victims," said Inspectors Russell and Van Dusen, who made the arrests in the case. So they divided the cash in equal parts, and were able to make some payments. The majorfty of the cash still remains down at police headquarters, however. Holders of forged checks are urged to come and claim their share. "It's a ' heap better than just a stung feeling," j advise the inspectors. Watertojirn, N. Y., Sept. 20. U. P.) Secretary Lansing, making his first public utteraitce, since William C. Bullitt's testimony before the aen ato foreign relations committee, de clared this afternoon that "the treaty should be ratified without de lay and without change." The secretary's speech was made at the dedication of Lanslngdorp, a suburb built for munitions workers by the gov ernment'.and named after Lansing's fam ily home in Holland. He made no ref erence to Bullitt, who testified that Lansing had told him in Paris .that "if the American senate ana the American people understood this treaty they will defeat it" -"We are approaching a new era, an era of peace, and I am confident an era of national prosperity unsurpassed In our history." Lansing said. RATIFICATION HELD TIT AX. . The people of the earth long to enter this era so they may again begin to re build what has been destroyed. This cannot be done until normal commercial and industrial conditions are restored, and they can only be restored by rati fying the treaty of peace which now lies on the table in the senate. The economic line of the world will continue In its stagnant and wretched state of uncertainty until the senate consents to ratification. "There is nothing In the treaty of peace which invades the sovereignty of this republic or limits in any way the full exercise of such sovereignty. There may be In the treaty features which do not meet with universal approval. It would be strange if it were otherwise. But the objection! which are being made are trivial as compared with, the lm perative need of peace. QUICK ACTIO! ADVISES. "We ought to have peace at once. The treaty should be ratified without delay and without change. It is a narrow- minded statesmanship which would en danger the treaty becoming effective by changing its provisions and postponing the return of peace. I cannot compre hend how any man with a true apprecia tion of the situation can permit any ob jection less than Impairment of the na tional sovereignty of the United States to weigh against the universal prayer of the nation for restoration of peace. Let the treaty be immediately ratified. The world demands it, patriotism demands It and common sense demands it." Iowa Car Strike Ends Clinton, Iowa, Sept. 20. (U. P.) The Clinton streetcar strike ended today when car service was resumed after a conference between union and company officials. A final arbitration meeting will be held Tuesday to consider the 90 cents an hour wage demand of the em ployes, who had been on strike four days. s First School Fair At Hood River Is " Immense Success Hood River's first county school fair closed Saturday afternoon under what Professor J. B.' Horner of the Oregon Agricultural college history department declares meat favorable auspices. "Many of the articles displayed are worthy of exhibition at a state fair. Some of the ?apeetry and other needle work would do credit to a Parisian ba zaar," he sal The displays, collected by school cnu dren, were from'the farm, orchard, gar den and home. Grade and quality were surprisingly good. The fair, directed by El V. Wright, was held in the high school building and in a large tent CAPITAL FACING I (Omtlatwd Prom Pa On.) to organise. This recognition is sought through the conference they have been endeavoring to arrange with Judge Gary. His refusal to grant the conference- brought on the strike. There is no thoeght in Pittsburg that Gary will give In. There is no thought among the union men of giving In until the conference Is granted. From the days of the old Homestead strike, when blood flowed in the streets and the great burning barges swept down the river, on through the years of continued strug gle between the two factions a!l the bitterness and grievances of this ex panse of time were rolling up tonight. CRISIS WITH LABOR big Industrial population was relied upon to help In the battle with emerg jncy assessments. Stee,l officials claimed S5 per cent of their workers were loyal. Union leaders scouted that figure. TO BE NO VIOLENCE " 'Both sides emphasized their precau tions against violence. Rumors of well armed guards to encamp within the barricades around the plants were not borne out. However, there was no denial that food was being stored in some mills and that arrangements were being made for sleeping quarters should it become necessary to care for employes who re main at work. " Some of the concerns which will be affected by the srrike are the Gary Steel company ; the Bayvlew Steel com pany of Milwaukee, and Duluth Jrot& Steel company, comprising the United Hstatea Steel corporation group In this district : the ' Steel Tube . company of America. Interstate Steel & Iron, Re public Steel. Inland Steel company and Wisconsin Steel. ' The league for industrial Justice to night asked 1250 Chicago pastors to make pleas for arbitration of the steel war. SHERIFF ISSUES PROCLAMATION PROHIBITING PUBLIC GATHERINGS Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 20. (U. P.) In anticipation of serious consequences growing out. of the great steel strike. Sheriff William S. Haddock of Alle gheny county tonight Issued a procla mation citing the riot act of the Penn sylvania statutes and prohibiting gath erings of three or more persons in popu lous sections. ) "All , officers throughout Allegheny county until the present emergency has passed are commanded to disperse and prevent upon the highways or vacant property of populous sections the loiter ing or gathering of three or four per sons and whenever such gatherings oc cur, to immediately direct and command such persons to proceed about their law ful business or avocation or return to their homes and habitations," the proc lamation declares. ' UNION PLANTS CLOSED TO CONCEAL NUMBER UNIONISTS New York, Sept. 20. (U. P.) "Or ganised capital must meet organised labor or organized riot it must face one or the other." This was the declaration here today . by W. B. Rubin, general counsel for the ' steel unions, commenting on the situa tion at Pittsburg. Where plants employing union men, ., have been ciosed, Rubin said, the ac tion has been taken by officials of the ' steel corporation to conceal the actual number of union workers, ' . v Big Haul of Booze Officers Powell and Drake Saturday ? night raided a soft drink establishment at Twelfth and Stark streets, arreating J. Freeman and cor.flscatlr g ,il bottlee of hard liquor. Freeman is charged t lth violating the prohibition law. . STEEL WORKERS' SECRETARY REFUSES ARBITRATION OFFER Chicago. Sept. 20. (U. P.) "All must suffer alike. There will be no arbitra tion for anyone until the strike actu ally begins." That was the answer tonight of John H. De Young, secretary of the steel workers' union in the Chicago district, to overtures from the Interstate Steel & Iron company and the Wisconsin Steel company for arbitration. Pe Young said his orders to reject the proffer came from Pittsburg, cen ter of the steel workers' battle to force recognition of the union. The Interstate company employs 3900 workmen, the Wisconsin 2500. CHICAGO BEADY Amid a gabble of foreign accent and the clanking of grates, the Chicago steel district prepared tonight for the gigantic battle. The long lines of chimneys en.ltted their usual volume of smoke tonight and the glare . of furnaces turned their customary spotlights on" low hanging clouds, but everywhere there was preparation for the test that cornea beginning at a. m. Monday. Chicago Industry already has counted the loss that ' will come if the tteel mills here are closed, and the 38,000 employed in them are left Idle. Fringing the lake south of Chicago are the big mills that turn out steel rails, castings and a multitude of com mon steel objects. 1 PLAKT8 AFFECTED Around them are plants making use of steel product. In all, It was be lieved 300,000 workmen would be af fected by a shutting down of the mills. Sixty-one plants will be affected di rectly. . The towns of Gary, Fast Chicago, Ind., Indiana Harbor and a portion of South Chicago depend almost entirely upon the steel business for support. The population of 300,000 In (hose places makes a living directly or indirectly from the salaries paid for steel work. Unions here were well prepared . fi nancially for a long,' battle.
