Ju.it what Will be tlone in the way of successful prosecution of the.ie men cannot be foretold, a uuch suits drag along irterminabiy, but there is not much question that such men as food manipulators should be given the limit of the law, and If there in no substantial law to meet such an emergency, then the congress might pass one under Uispenion of the rules. The figure i-cem to indicate tlint the onion growers received about two cents pound for the succulent products thnt go so far toward making )ife savory and satisfactory; but the manipulators have managed no that the consume have to pay from ten to fifteen cents a pound, and perhaps more at times and places. If there is any one thing that all can agree upon it is that the food producer should have a fair price for hi products and then the consumer should get the products at a price consistent with the production of that year. If the season is bad and the crop is small, the consumers would not expect any certain product at a low price; but when crops are good, the tia-tt:aitiRa of life should be placed . upon the tables of the people at a fair price, without the manipulation? of the cormorants who are willing to oppress, the people in older that their own eoffurs may be filled. The time wjll come, if condition continue as they have been for some years, that the people will make la that will provide commissions or some authority to fix prices of all the nec essities of life. The government is threatening to intervene in behalf of the people along the line of certain food products, hv reason of the war conditions, but if uch action can be ;nken during war times it can likewise be taken all the time. If a commiiison can fix the prices uf gam, electric light.-:, water and other of the necessities of life, vvhy eannot such a commission prevent the robbing of the people in food products, even in the lowly onion ? Producers do not get a square deal, and consumers get a most unjust deal. The producer should receive a fair tihare of the price paid by the consumer, anil two cents a pound would not iw-em a great price to he paiil the producer of onions; but an increase of ftve hundred per cent in getting from producer to consumer is an out rage on a free-born people. "Free born people," is the proper term. The people of this country are born free and equal, but they stand for lot of mighty oppressive and unjust treatment before they get ready to die, or eveji complain.

rri i"vr r"j tUNDER GEN. PERSHING

Americans Now 'Fighting in France Must Remain With Present Units. (By fic rnlrraUMl Jfitira Sorrier.) WASHINGTON, May 25. Americans now fighting with the Britith and French forces in France will not he permitted to join the United States troops under Major Generel Pershing and continue their "bit" for the allies under the stars and stripes. This view was expressed today by war department official, who held that Pershing's men would not he atippleinonted by Americans now in the French or British service, but that more American troops would be dis!nthed to French soil as quickly as the units could he given the intensive training that" ti planned for them a re. "it is variously estimated that between 30.000 and 40.000 Americans are now fighting with the British and French forces. Practically alt of tlwm hare renounced their American eiiixcnhip by taking the oath of alleg iance prescribed by Great Britain and France, although in the case of thtI'orritn leirton among the French Iroong and in that of many of the flving cM'ps wearing French cofors, American c'tirensh'p is retained by rea.n of the fact that the men took only 'an oath of obedience." The difficulty Americans on French soil would face in joining Pershing's troops, an army official pointed out, would lie in the fact that the French fortes t 'his time can not afford to lose any of the force now in the field, and that the question of provisioning the men with American equipment and rations is not contemplated in the general scheme of Pershing's expedin. Grave doubt was expressed by the army authorities that France or Great Britain would consent to any Ameri can now in their sen-ice transferring 0 the American forces. He explained he Americans now in the service have 1 contract to serve for a certain pcrod and that the maker of that con tract, the French and Hntisn comamlers, would hesitate to terminate ic agreement on the mere ground that the American expatriates con tinued their services unaer men- own Hag. IS STAGED IN CONGRESS Federal Re-serve Board and Country Bankers Fight for Advantage. ill It nleranlleaal .Vers Kercic WASHINGTON. May 25. Beneath the excitement of war preparation.; there is going on in Washinirton an old fa?hioned bitter legislative contest which In ordinary peace times would attract more attention. It is the fight between the federal reserve board and the country bankers of the . ountry over the aiiwiMuicnt.i to th federal reserve act now pending in congress. Final action and victory for the reserve board is expected today when the conferees on the bill amending the act report to both houses. The amendments seek, among other things, authority foi country banker? lo .make a charge of ten cents per r-for collecting checks on out of town banks. Country bankers set on foot an active propaganda in favor "f this amendment, which the reserve board opposes. A counter propa g:imla has been operating to effect th desires of the board. In banking cir cles there has been considerable ex citement over the rontst. It is un derstood that a compromise has been t. ached under which the reserve board will be given authority to fix the check collection charge. Other amendments included in the lot will give the reserve board power to concentrate American gold sup plies in federal reserve banks itrengtlien the gold position of the country for war purposes and to meet Lhe industrial and financial situation expected to develop at the close of the war.
