The government is going to prosecute the food profiteers in the United States as an immediate remedy for the high cost of living. This was announced Tuesday by Attorney General Palmer after a conference with the president winch followed an all day deliberation ,pf,. the special cabinet committee on means of reducing the prices of necessities to ... ilie agitated public. The department of justice, it-- was declared,' will employ every resource at its command to ferret out and prosecute the hoardrs of food aud, .those who are charging extortionate prices. Big and little profiteers are to be prosecuted and congress is to be asked to supplement the existing penal code of the food act with, amendments which will enable the government to reach its hand out and grapple the retailer vho in many eoirpmmi ties Is charging exorbitant prices ' for food- Seventeen . negroes were charged with rioting and murder in indictments voted by a special grand jury Investigating race riots, which, for five days last week, held the south side of Chicago in a reign of terror. AVliile city, county and state authorities combined in seeking causes which led to the rioting, in- an endeavor to fix responsibility, 6000 state troops, 8000 policemen and 1000 deputies continued to patrol the negro quarter. Offiials reported the riot zone quiet and ev- ry effort being made to relieve the suifering negroes who have been marooned in the area and who have been unable to go to their work. A number of soup kitchens were opened and guards were furnished for negroes who wished to return to work. The police Monday obtained reports of threatening, anonymous letters received by negro families living on the edge of the negro district, in which, the negroes were warned to move within two days or their homes would be burned and bombed and the negroes killed, The coroner lias fixed the number and the city of dead at thirty-thre- e health commissioner has found that 306 people injured in the riots were treated in hospitals', that perhaps 400 or more who were injured in the riots never reported at hospitals. The state troops had little to do during Monday night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused by persistent reports telephoned to headquarters of the Second regiment that a crowd of 500 men was gathering at West 59th street. When a company of troops reached the scene the crowd ' vanished. ,, Several thousand negroes who exs pected to return to work in the stock-yardmust wait until the unrest caused by the disturbances in the district has subsided. After announcing that the colored men would return to work, superintendents of all the large packing plants decided that it would be prudent to hold the negroes at their homes for an indefinite period. Thirty-thre- , . ( ' The 'president authorized the statement that he will address a message to congress on the subject within a few days arid, at the same time will submit recommendations' to aid in dealing with the ,criticil situation, adequately and effectively. Beyond that announcement the president had nothing to say regarding the issue; It was made clear, however, that the government does not contemplate entering upon iany experiment in subsidizing food, such as purchasing wheat at the guaranteed price, and selling it for less to the miller, making up the deficit from the billion dollar wheat guarantee fund. " Action, as Attorney General Valmer put it, earnest, aggressive, vigorous action, will be directed by the department of justice against all profiteers, and it ;waS reported that among the first big offenders to be, proceeded against will be the big packers ( RAILWAY ICE HOUSES BURNED Loss of $75,000 Suffered by Union Pacific In Blaze.
