As a part of the complete reor

the stock of the Salem King's Prod
ucts company and The Dalles King's
Ptoducta compary. the whole plan
disorganization has bed changed
and enlarged.
The Wittenberg-King company is
now the King's Food Products com
pany, with a greatly increased capi
talization, and although the Salem
company's name has not been
changed its capital has been increas
ed, as in the caee at The Dalles.
New people are invited ,to become
interested, the result of which is that
the Salem company from now on will
not only be an industry doing busi
ness in Salem, hut a large share or
its stock will be wned here and
three of Salem's leading business
mea will participate in forming Its
policies and management. .

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. Import
ant new developments in the govern
ments fight to reduce the high cost
of living came today.
One of the most interesting was
the announcement by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer that the first federal
conviction for profiteering had been
obtained. District Attorney Lucey tel
egraphed from Binghamton. N. Y..
that a retail grover had been fined
$500 for selling sugar, at 15 cents a
pound. No details were given and
the law nnder which the case was
brought was not known here.
"A few good cases of profiteering
in each state will settle that trou
ble," Mr. Palmer remarked.
Rigid Amendment " Proposed
In order to bring to book persons
guilty of raising prices exorbitantly
or hoarding food to advance prices.
Mr. Palmer submitted to the agri
culture committees of congress the
draft of an amendment to the food
control act extending its .provisions
to clothing' and to containers of food
and (feeds and providing a penalty of
$5,000 fine or two years imprison
ment or both for violation of the law.
Chairman Haugen. of the house com
mittee announced that the amend
ment would- be considered immed
iately by a sub-committee and that
a report might be made tomorrow.
It Is Mr. Palmer's idea that this
amendment ehould be considered be-
