I DIG DREAD TRUST SAYS EXECUTIVE Congresa May be Asked to Institute Probe Into Alleged Merger WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. (United Newa) Wives and mothers through out the nation may bo enliated to demand a congreasioual Investiga tion of the recently announced gl pontic buking Industry merger. Hnall M. Manly, director of the peo ple's executive service announced this na a possibility in hla fight agulnst what ho terms "the bread trust." Manly promlaca Hint if he haa to form hla army, "they will blow the lid off and reveal waV thla bread truat la receiving Immunity from federnl action." Reiterating his request of a few days ago. that President Coolidge Immediately demand the resignation of Federal Trade Commissioners Van Fleet, Humphrey and Hunt,. Manly charged wilful disregard of the law on the part nt the department of Justice nnd tho trado commission for failure to stop the $400,000,000 merger. Manly's statement followed denial by tho department of Justice that It ban taken formal cognizance of the merger. He charges the majority members of the federal trade com mission with having illegally sup pressed the fact that complaint had been filed with the commission agnlnat the proposed combine. President Coolldgc's sincerity in his assertion that the law must be obeyed aa long as it is on the stat uto bnoks, will be shown. Manly asserted, by whether he Immediately directs the attorney general to en join the merger. His statement says: "American men may perhaps have become Indifferent to profiteering and monopoly, but American house wives still carry a punch. "Those who remember how the housewives responded to a similar appeal In the spring of 1923 when a ring of speculators boosted the price of sugar to unbearable heights, ran Imagine how they will react to a cull to protect their families from monopoly control of their bread."

The South ern Pacific, If it carrle out all ex tenalona applied for, and with Its Natron cut-off already under con struction, will afford Klamath a moat adequate span of railways, suf ficient to develop that territory far beyond Its present statge. This fact has been brought out clearly during the three daya of the rail hearings, even while the Oregon Trunk's own case Is being beard. That tho Northern lines' entrance Into the Klamath field would add great impetus to great development at an early stase. If permitted to build south from Bend, however, aa equally as convincingly, has been proved. The Oregon Trunk's trump card has been the announcement of the Weyerhaeuser Timber company that they will develop their immense holdings at once, providing the Nor thern lines come south. This coup led with the Shevlln-Hlxon strong indication or a mill, and their fa voring of the Northern lines, will also have Its effect. So fur as developing agriculture In Klamath, the Northern lines have demonstrated, but very weakly, that' they would aid In this developmcn Their line will be so close to the Natron cut-oft and the O. C. A E. that building of a new road seems out of tho question. ' Competition and two big mills. Those are. the two effective argu ments the Northern lines have con veyed to the I. C. C. representatives. It looks most favorable for the Northern lines after three days of hearing. Testimony of Ralph Budd. and leaser officials of tho Northern linen, in lo wit tMieci uieir runu ; must get additional traffic or meet with the same fate as the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, now In the hands of a receiver. It will be this big factor that may swing tho final decision. The federal trib unal is Interested in keeping every railroad on a firm financial foot ing. They will take steps to as sure this whenever they can see a means. And the Northern lines have proven that tho Weyerhaeuser tim ber tonnage alone would bring a lnrse revenue Into the coffers of the Northern system.
