This has never been done in any

extreme measures we're decided on at

THEY WILL MAKE MORE
PROFITS

Washington, Aug 26.-Far western
sugar refiners won a victory over
their competitors in New Orleans and
New York today when the interstate

w;ll open these markets to the west

and carriers that seven western
states produced last year beet sugar
and refined Hawaiian cane sugar to-
falling $500 tons, or enough to sup
ply 20,00O,00O persons, while the po-
pulation of those states is but $685.
62l. The new rate is fixed at 20
cents per hundred pounds higher than
the New Orleans rate to Chicago rate
territory. and 20 cents higher than
the New orleans rate to points east

state federation of labor, declared on
the stand that union workmen In
Stockton were ready to arbitrate any
question except that of the right ot
union labor to organize. The question
