Will Be Launched.
By Ls C. Martin
(United Press Staff. Correspondent)
.Washington, Aug. 9. Congress. will begin at once
consideration of legislation to carry out, in part, at least,
President Wilson's recommendations for reducing the
high cost of living, house and senate leaders promised
today.
. Representative Mundi 11, majority
lender of the house, bkIu that any re
quest for money to make effective the
campaign against - prof .teers would
speedily bo complied with.
"Congress will grant nil the money
that is needed," said Mondell. "In ad
dition, I havo no opposition to extend
ing tho Lever food coutiol act if that
is believed necessary."
Senator Lodge, majority leader o' th
senate, aiUd:
"I think tho president made some
god and practical suggestions iu regard
to the artificial and extoitionato price
for the necessaries of life, and 1 am
sure congress ' will deal with them at
once."
A number of the president'! sugges
tions have been covered in bills now
pending. Committee action on these
w'H'be orged next week. They include
measures for regulation of storage
plni,!s and for stamping of prices on
food products.
Comment from memberr, of both par
ties today showed that some of the
president 'a suggestions regarding legis
lation met with general approval and
that his stand against la nor strikes to
a menus of enforcing demand waa en
dorsed. His appeal for ratification, of
the treaty apparently caused torn re
sentment.
