Dear Sweets.

NEw YORK, April 23.-The strike of
the workmen in the Williamsburg sugar
re6neries has doomed the prices and
consumers of sugars. Granulated sugar
was quoted at 81 cents, Saturday last;
yesterday it reached ~. II is said
prices are sure to advance still higher.
The stock of refined sugar on hand
amounts to practically nothing. Bust
ness being slack, dealers have been
buying sugar in quantities just suffi-
cient 10 supply the demand and now
that the country demand has increased.
the strike has caused prices to advance
out of proportion to our natural course
Of trade. Raw sugar was quoted at 11-16
on April l4th; yesterday il was So.
This shows slight advance in the cost
of raw material which is not accounted
for by the present strike. but which viii
account for something OF the advanced
price for refined sugar. The strike,
however, has tended to very much
strengthen the advance.

men returned to work along with the
union men formerly in our employ.
The men brought here from other cities

minute. switch engines began to
leave the round house and the making
up of trains was at once begun The
blockade will be completely ended this
afternoon. One of the stricking switch
men at the yards declared that the Lake
Shore officials had agreed on their part
70 dispose of eight non-union switch
men in some manner within the next
six months, by placing them in some
other depot or otherwise caring for
them. in any event TO take them away
from the yards where they are at pres

house manned by crew OF strikers.
There is general shaking of hands ana

WASHINGTON, April 23.-.yhe fourth
days session of the House Committee on
the labor difficulties in the southwest

your statement you used the word
order in reference to the men going
back to work. want 10 know whether
the central power of your organization
can order men TO work or order them
TO Quit work."
1urner-The general laws do not con-
template strikes.
Chsirman-Thati is not the question.
Turner [hesitatinglyl- = Well, do
not understand that il we issued an
order for the men to 60 to work
they would refuse TO 60, no
matter who ordered them out.
Craine-You have no power to order
strike, have your
Turner-Yes.
Chairman With the air Of surprisee
You have2
Turner-Yes. There is no law in our
constitution governing strikes. We do
not believe in strikes.
Craine-Then where do you derive
your power TO order strikes2
Turner-We have not power directly
to order a strike, but we have the
power to approve or disapprove Of a
strike.
Craine-Was this strike approved or
disapproved7
Turner-We never knew anything
about it until we received telegram
from Hopkins. It has never been ap-
proved.
Craine-Then l suppose the power is
vested in you to direct the men 70 re
turn to work?
Turner-Hes.
Being questioned on the subject OF
arbitration, Turner said he had read the
Presidents message on. that point to-
day and thoroughly agreed with it. He
believed there should be some fixed
tribunal.
The committee, after hearing Mr..
Turner. closed its sitting in Washing
ton and arranged that the members
should leave this city for s.. Louis on
Monday morning. g.
