was learned f.-iriay a uthorlt at i vply. Tims who attended the meeting declined today to Indicate that tli"ir ' p'-m "1" attack' would b". The first sessi m, it was said, was timre f.r the pumosr of conductintr a survey of the situation, preliminary to mapping n definite course of aetlon. MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT. It is understood that I'haiftnan Colver informed the meet ing- that the federal trade commission stood ready to turn over the most extensive collection of industrial Information ever pathered by any Rovtrnment as one of the weapons to he used It the campaign. "The mounting cost of livlnd Is the most Important subject in the world today." said Chairman Colvor. "There has been a steady climb. Trices ro up. AVnpes jro up to compensate. "Wapes 'havinij gone up. costs increase and another Increase In price Is made but the only result Is to force a repetition of the process. "The troub'.e lies deeper than the problem t wases vs. food and fuel," lie continued. "To beifin with there is such an Inflation of money that the dollar is cheap as compared with bread and slices. When money Is cheap everything else measured by it is dear. The 'hiRh cost of living.' is only another way of saying "the low price of money.' "There are other causes: "One-third of the land of the country is being: held out of use fur speculation. "Values have been written upon undus coal and ore; on uncut timber and inland values: on the crops of years yet to conn; in short the future value of natural resources has been capitalized and today's supply is made to provide the carytn charge on the production of the future. "Quite aside from these things there is. no doubt. prnfiterrinjr on a larjre and small scale. Kverybody, whether h" has labor or oommouitics to sell, is asking higher and higher prices. The world is sick. It Is recovering from the world war. which was nearly a mortal sickness. This is a time for coolness and sanity and caution. An above, all thl is the time for industry, and eeonoiny. Then, too, taxes in unheard of amounts must be collected, and in the end taxes are a part of the hi ah cost of livinn. "Kverybody now is trying to put his own prices up and complaining that vnbody else will put his down." neduction of th" amount f money in circulation as a remedy for the hi.jh cost of living was before the senate today with Senator Myers, of Montana, urging that congress take immediate steps to this end. Senator Myers pointed out that the general stock of money in the I". S. on

July 1. 1314. was $3, 73S. 6:0.345. while on July 1. 1313. it was J7.5SS.4 73.7 1. This increase in money. Senator Myers maintained, corresponds with the increase in living costs and Is responsible for the increase. Among the house committees having before them measures affecting high costs are ways and means, the interstate and foreign commerce, the army quartermaster's sub-committee of the house committee investigating expenditures in the war department, and the agriculture committee. All these committees were working during the recess of the house, in an endeavor to formulate legislation that will stem the upward bound of prices. Sentiment for remedial legislation by congress has grown rapidly durirr? the past week under repeat"d attacks on prevailing hish costs bid by Representative lteavis, of Nebraska; Igoe. of MiHsouri: Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts and others. More than .inn bills and resolutions bearing on the subject, many ot them offering remedies, have lv.'n introduced in congress. From this wide range of , suggest ions house leaders expect their committees to come forth with some effective plan. Measures that stood out with greatest prominence today before the house were: 1. . The Fitzgerald plan for the government to pocket whatever loss may come and throw on the market all the wheat of the last harvest, in order o break down the cost of flour. The government has guaranteed the farms ?2 26 per bushel for this wheat, but has been given a fund of a billion dollars to make up any deficiency occurring un.ler this guaranty. Canada, Fitzgerald says, made a similar guarantee to its farmers, but has ordered the market of the harvest at the prevailing world market prices. 2. The Igo plan for legislation to take from profiteers in the form of "taxes their excess profits on food products, and for an investigation by the federal trade commission of conditions in the shoe, clothing, sugar ar.d coffee situation: to ascertain whether there is justification for higher prices and alleged shortages
