WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 23.—
Democratic leaders say that they
expect that the Food Control Bill
will soon pass and become a law.
They claim that this is one of the
most urgent wartime measures
which has come before Congress.
There is opposition manifested to
it upon the part of some farmers'
associations, they claim that it is
neither explicit nor definite enough
in its wording to give any person
an intelligent view of it.
The objection is manifestly well
taken in this regard, for the bill
FOOD CONTROL CERTAIN.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—
That food control will be soon an
accomplished fact now seems as

ASSISTANT KILLS.
DENVER, Col., May 22.—Ed Green

LONDON, May' 22.—For military

It is claimed that the situation

GREAT EXTENSION.
LONDON, May 22.—The British
government is now using great ef
forts to increase the food supply

grazing ground all over the country
is under tillage for the first time in
years.
gives the President practically un
limited power to control, distribute
and fix the price of food.
It is thi3 very feature which some
of the farmers will object to and
will make their objections heard.
On the other hand many farmers
point out that they have every
chance of getting better treatment
from the United States food control
than, the control of the trust and
the food speculators who have
simply put the screws on the farm
ers while making the big profits
themselves.
The Farmers Granges, the most
powerful of all the farmers associ
ations, all appear to take this view
of ‘it and look upon the bill with
quiet satisfaction, as not being
aimed at them, but rather at the
middlemen.

WILSON WILL GRANT NO
PASSPORTS SOCIALISTS
____ i
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 2?..—
Tue f'rst move which hat tended to
stir some opposition against the Ad
mlnisOation upon the part of the
socialists occurred today when the
Administration through the State
Department made the announcement
that no American citizen would be
granted passports to the socialist
conference in Stockholm.
The conference is to be held next
month.
The administration for some rea
son believes that this conference
has been instigated and will be do
minated by Germany, although what
the grounds may be known for this
position are not given out.
It is not improbable that the Ger
man interests may try to dominate

and Cordova.
the conference, but the socialists
who are opposed to the action of
the administration, nevertheless, In
sist that tins is all the more reason
why the United States socialists
should be there.
In any event, the socialists con
tend that being heid in a neutral
country the conference cannot do
anything inimical to the interests of
the United States, and if it can
and it is intended to do so, it will I
be done anyhow.
The policy of Wilson is consider
ed short-sighted and narrow by the
socialists to put it mildly.
British socialists have already re
fused to attend.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.—The
Southern Pacific trainmen are now
taking a strike vote referendum.
They claim that the company
has allowed the agreement .which
they signed up last year to con
tinue unfulfilled.
Eight thousand men are involved.
The contention of the men is cor
rect, but company officials say that
the agreement was made in order to
prevent their trainmen embarking
in alliance with the rest in the
great eight hour hglit. When they
did so despite the settlement the
company concluded to let th- agree
ment go by the board.
