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."

PROBE REVEALS PLAN
Fact Adduced At Hearing
Indicate Harriman Road
To Benefit District
POHTI.ANO, Oct. 7. 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.
