A DRASTIC FOOD BILL
(Received July 23, 9.50 a.m.)
WASHINGTON, July 22. The Senate passed the Aviation Bil with one dissenting vote.
The Senate passed a redrafted Food Bill, providing for the appointment of three Food Administrators, instead of empowering Mr H. C. Hoover with full control. It provides for the control of food, fuel, and prohibits the manufacture of intoxicants, except beer and wine, for the duration of the war. It directs President Wilson to commandeer the present stock of whisky, and fixes the minimum price of wheat at two dollars, till July, 1919, in order to stimulate wheat production.
