Possibly tho world could be more chaotic than it Is at present, but probably it never will be. If things keep on, profiteers will be in tho condition of the man who had nothing to cat but gold.

It Is somewhat odd that so many persons are never suspected of Insanity until they commit a crime. Whenever a wage ?cale conference Is announced the ultimate consumer might just as well begin to dig. Possibly there are enough of profiteers who, by purchasing from ono another, can keep the prices high!

PUBLIC WARNED OF RATE BOOST

Road Executive Points Out to Labor Arbiters Result of Employees' Demands. PEOPLE MUST PAY FREIGHT Problem of Billion. Dollar-Day Increase Up for Final Hearing of Wage Board In Session at Head quarters In Chicago. Chicago, May It). Wae Increases of more than $1,000,000,000 to railroad employees, with an advance of JVS per cent to the public In cost of freight transportation service, were forecast at the first meeting of tho United tttates railway board, now In permanent headquarters at Chicago. The roads already are asking for a 28 per cent raise In freight rates to take care of the wage Increases already granted, spokesmen for the roads declared. They will need another 00 per cent raise to grant the additional wage demands of the rail workers, the board was Informed. A .statement of the railroads' side of the problem was made by K. T. Whiter, chairman of the conference committee of the Association of Railway Executives. Tho entire board, appointed April 1" by President Wilson, was present. Th. members are: Henry Hunt, George W. Hangar and It. M. IJarton, representing the public; Horace linker, J. H. Klllott and William L. Park, for the railroads, and Albert Phillips, A. O. Wharton ami James J. Forester, for the employees. Washington. May 10. Railway and public .service commissions In every state were called to tho aid of the Interstate commission and the railroads to break the freight blockade. The commission telegraphed tho state agencies asking them to co-operate fully and to use all means in their power to alleviate conditions in their eta tes. The commission announced definitely that it did not contemplate holding hearings upon the appeal of the railroads for the government to use its emergency powers under the transportation act. Members of the commission met with representatives of the railroads to discuss means of breaking the freight blockade. Oflicials declared the problem was of such magnitude that a solution might require more time than at first anticipated. They were hopeful, however, that today or Wednesday would see a definite program for the movement of the vast volume of accumulated freight. The railroads suggested several details to the commission for inclusion In its tratlie plan. One of these was a general scheme for the movement of grain cars westward ami coal cars eastward to meet current requirements. Cars for food and perishables, however, would have full preference over all others under the railroad men's plan. Meanwhile more trouble for the railroads loomed in reports to the commission and the car service committee of the railroads. Several lines hitherto able to keep their tracks relatively clear, were reported as smothered under the avalanche of freight.

GALL LOANS ON HOARDED FOOD

Action of Banks Expected to Go Far Toward Cutting Down Prices. LARGE STOCKS 111 STORAGE Move Expected to Drive Vast Supplies of Foodstuffs From Warehouses Dankera Put Dan on Merchants Handling Nonessentials. Washington, May I'l. Adoption by American bankers of the recommendation of Covernor Hardline of the federal reserve board "to liquify frozen loans" was expected by board nfllclala to alleviate the Ilnanclal situation and to jro far toward hrliixlnx down prices. Governor Harding applied the term "frozen loans" to credit extension which was permitting large stocks of merchandise to be held In storage for speculative purposes. Additional accumulation of (roods In storage, he Indicated, could be prevented by strict supervision of credit. Kepresentative King of Illinois, recently charged In the house that present methods of llnancing were permitting commodities to be kept off the market, with resultant increase in prices. Tiie Illinois representative said ho had been Informed that In New York city alone more than 70,000,000 pounds of condensed and evaporated milk were being held in storage, In comparison with slightly more than 8,000,000 pounds a year ago. Although legislation designed to drive foodstuffs from storage is now pending in congress. It was saitl tbat careful withdrawal of credit from speculators in food products might accomplish more than statutory regulation. It wav emphasized, however, that discrimination .should be exercised by bankers, inasmuch as in many lines tho summer months see an accumulation of commodities for the following winter. New York, May 21. Pursuant to their pledge to the federal reserve board, leading banking Interests of this city extended their campaign of dellation of credits and nigh commodity prices. In the financial district this policy already has been effective in reducing speculative loans against securities to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars in the last fortnight. In one instance, that of a prominent trust company, it is said that credits of this character had been reduced by 100,000,000 in the last three weeks. Hanks In the wholesale dry goods and general merchandise districts have been proceeding along the same lines, and the pressure exerted by those institutions is said to be directly responsible for the wave of price-cutting in many lines of retail trade, especially by the large department stores. Downtown banks, which in a large measure control operations of uptown banks, are reported to have advised drastic curtailment of loans to merchants wl.o for any reason fail to comply with the government's dellation program. Importers and other dealers in the more luxurious articles of apparel, as well as manufacturers of Jewelry, silverware and other so-called nonessen tials, are said to have received word from their banks that only the most moderate Ilnanclal accommodations may be expected at this time. The president of a bank in the wholesale shoe district is authority for the statement that loans to dealers in leather and rubber goods are smaller now than at any period in the last IS j months. 12 KILLED IN LABOR BATTLE Fight Between Private Detectives and j Union Miners in West Virginia Mountains.
