December 12-Extension of the Government's price fixing power to other products than food and fuel and especially to iron and steel is believed necessary by the Federal Trade Commission in the light of experience gained in investigating economic conditions since the United Sates entered the war. tion that a temporary administrative body be established to determine reasonable prices for prime necessities and also regulate distribution of raw materials and finished products was made in the commisison's annual report submitted today to Congress. re Other recommendations suggest that the commission's powers of obtaining information be broadened to authorize requirement of reports from individuals engaged in commerce, as well as corporations; that information gathered by temporary semi-official organiaztions such as the Council of National Defense, including all correspondence, be ordered preserved; that trade association files should be made public records; that investigation of foreign trade conditions be made to permit proper measures with regard to American industrial organization now and when peace is concluded; that the Webb bill to eliminate assocations for export trade from the operation of the Sherman law be passed, and that the salary limitation of $5,000 a year be removed from the commission's expert employees. Declaratien of war has not lessened either the number or importance of the complaints made to commission of unfair competition, but. on the contrary, the number of plaints has increased.

Applications for remedial procedure by the commission showed a. decrease from the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916.

Besides its regulative functions the commisison has been engaged in economic investigations, the most tant of which concerned the newsprint paper, gasoline and coal industries.

the request of the President, the commisison has undertaken extensive inquiries into industries furnishing war supplies to the Government land information thus obtained is being used as a basis for Government contracts. THEATER WAR STARTS Klaw Erlanger's Injunction Proceedings Against Shuberts in Court. (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, December 12-- During the injunction proceedings started against the Shuberts by Klaw Erlanger to prevent the former firm from producing "Hitchy Koo" at the new Chestnut Street Theater, A. L. Erlanger admitted in court that there was an agreement in Philadelphia among the first theaters that all profits from performances should be pocled among those interested in the productions.

Under a rigid cross-examination, Mr. Erlanger admitted that in houses where the principals did not own or lease the theaters where attractions were booked by Klaw Erlanger and by the Shuberts, they were paid a certain percentage of the net profits from the productions. These injunction proceedings started by Klaw Erlanger are to test an agreement that was entered into in 1913 between that firm and the Shuberts, under which agreement Klaw Erlanger claim that the Shuberts agreed only to book offerings in certain-named theaters in Philadelphia. The Chestnut Street Theater is a brand new playhouse and the Shuberts want to book "Hitchy Koo" as the opening attraction. Klaw Erlanger claim that this is a violation of the agreement.

That is the crux of the True Temperance question which Prohibitionists in their over-zealousness fail to see.
