Restrictions on Retail Stores
Withdrawn by State Admin
istrator; Resume Former
Schedule.
Restrictions on hours of opening
and closing retail stores have been
withdrawn by the fuel administration.
Fuel Administrator Kennedy made
the announcement Friday morning.
J. V. Metcalfe, secretary of the
Associated Retailers of Omaha, said:
"Some of the retailers will immedi
ately go back to the old hours of 8:30
a. m. to 9 p. m. Saturdays, and 8:30 to
6 on week days, but some, I under
stand, like the new hours so well that
they are going to continue them for
an indefinite period. The Associated
Retailers have taken no action as a
body as to what they will do, but a
great many of them will doubtless go
back to the former schedule immedi
ately." Fuel Administrator Kennedy said:
'The increasing supply of coal, the
lengthening days, and the near ap
proach of spring justify the action
now taken.
"The withdrawal of the restrictions
heretofore made does not affect or

in the saving of coal and the moderate

from Mr. Wattles and his staff for
two days before starting on the tour.
They work' without compensation.
Their railway fare and necessary hotel
expenses are allowed.
"People must be made to under
stand thoroughly that there is not
enough food to supply everyone with
the amount he might use in normal
times," said Mr. Wattles, "and they
must be brought to understand that
as far back as last November we had
already shipped abroad all the visible
supply of wheat. They must be
brought to understand that in spite of
this the federal food administration is
determined to send abroad a great
deal more, and that this must be made
up by denying ourselves some at
home.
"Now then, the administration is go
ing to export this wheat that is
settled. We are asked to save it and
deny ourselves in order to make up
this exportable supply to teed the al
lies and our soldiers abroad. If we
don't deny ourselves and save it, it
will be done for us. We cannot get
away from it. The government must
and will have this wheat to send
abroad where it belongs at this time.
"It has come to me that people are
asking whether I practice what I
preach. Well, I'll say that at our
house we eat no white bread on
wheatless day or any other day. That
is how strictly I observe the rules.
And that is- a good thing for any of
you to be able to say, for people will
ask you the same question perhaps.
So get your record straight in your
own home and at your own table, and
stand on that record when you are
questioned."

Shippers Want Commission,
Not McAdoo, to Fix Rates
The traffic bureau of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce has tele
graphed the Nebraska delegation in
congress to urge that influence be ex
erted in congress to retain in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
commission full control of railroad
rates.
The railroad bill now is pending in
congress, and Secretary McAdoo is
rlaitnintr absolute control of the rate
structure as well as the direction of the
management of the roads. Shippers
throughout the country feet that the
Interstate Commerce commission,
with its wide experience and knowl
edge of rate matters, should be al
lowed to control rates.
"The commission has the con
fidence of the country," said Manager
C. E. Childc of the Omaha Traffic
bureau in his telegram, "and it is the
only body competent to deal with this
highly technical and supremely im
portant subject. We ask the Ne
braska delegation to use influence to
see that the railroad bill now before
congress contains nothing that will
disturb or affect the commission's
rate-making or regulatory powers."
