CONGRESS TO ACT ON MESSAGE. (Continued from page one.) high cost of living, declared that the recommendations wero "wry valuable." "I heartily agree with most of the recommendations." Senator Capper said, "although I believe that the extension fcf the food control act. insofar as it will effect the f.xir.s of the price of wheat, will meet with opposition. The recommendations for the regulation of cold storage and for the licensing of industries, particuljuly the packers, I have favored for some time." THEY 7H.I. OKI QUICK ACTION. Two of the provisions which the president recommended will get quick action in the senate. The licensing of corporations dealing in food products will bo taken up by the agriculture committee cn August IS, when the Kenyon bill, which would regulate the packers by license, will be considered. Senator Mc-

KtUar of Tennessee, already has intro- j duced a bill for the regulation cf cold j storagp plants. He lias discussed bis I bill with President Wilson and was j r'.ady today to urge immediate action at I the earliest possible moment. Senator j Kenyon. of Iowa, author of the bill to ; license the packers and dealers in food- j Stuffs, will return from a vacation next j

week to push the measure. When it met today. Speaker Gilldt irave the president's message to the houy and the various committees having jurijdiction. over specific recommendations made by the president, assumed control

of their share of the legislation neces-j sary to carry the recommendations into j

effect. The appropriations committee planned to look into the matter of appropriations asked and to rush a deficiency appropriF'ion bill to cover necessary expenditures. "If the president really needs money to help him we. could Jam a bill through the house and senate in a few hours appropriating all be could use." commented representative Campbell, chairman of the house rules committee. "But many of us feel we have given th.various departments sufficient money for the publicity the president suggests. We will look into the- matter." The Judiciary committee planned to take up existing laws against hoarding, profiteering and gambling in foodstuffs

with a view cf rutting "teeth" into them. The interstate and foreign commerce committee was prepared to drop railroad legislation and prepare a bill for the better regulation of cold storage, limiting the period during which foodstuffs may be kept in storage, and providing for marking of stored fonds with c'ate of storage and costs on that date.. Legislation the president suggested for the federal licensing cf corporations engaged in interstate commerce and compulsory competitive selling, together with laws requiring the marking t.f poods destined for interstate commerce

with the price at which they left the'

nanrts or the producers win be taken up without delay by the same committee.
