Luxury Uses.

Washington, Oct. 2o.--Reduction In
Sugar sales to confectioners and other
luxury" manufacturers, has been or
dsrsd by the Hoover food administra-
hon, 1t was officially stated.
In view of the growing shortage of
Busar and soaring prices to the aver
age consumer, 1t was made plain that
II necessary the government would
not hesitate to curtau all luxury
uses of sugar.
THE Christmas candy business will
be hard hit by the order.
BEET SUGAR THE SOLUTION.
While the step announced today was
taken with the hope that complete
shutdown on candy making will not
become necessary, this will be inevita-
BILE II the incoming beet sugar crop
does not solve the shortage. The food
administration stated that the latter
crop should enable candy makers who
may have to shut down now, to re-
sumo operations within a few weeks.
The administrations order will be
put into effect Immediately through
state food controllers and local COM
mittees as we'll as refiners.
BAN ON SOFT DRINKS.
Soft drinks are classed by Hoover
with candy as a luxury. Bakery cake
is not, but the usual frosting on 1t will
have to be eliminated in the future.
Forty five per cent of the sugar used
In this country goes into luxuries, the
!ood administration estimated.
Appeals for economy In sugar con-
sumption havingb failed to relieve the
shortage. today's order was decided
upon by Herbert Hoover.
INCREASED CONSUMPTION.
Candy consumption vas Increased
enormously in the United States re-
Gently despite a rise in price of the
CONNECTIONS. The increase was report
ed to be particularly noticeable in pro-
hibition territory and around army
environments
Thousands of workers in candy fac
tories are expected to be out of en-
ployment temporarily. Manufacturers
anticipated the administrations order
will have this result as we'll as closing
UP retail candy stores. Some candy
makers do not anticipate any relief
from the new beet sugar crop before
December, barely IN time for part of
the Christmas candy season.

POSTPONE STRIKE
UNTIL THE END OF

Telephone Operators and
Electrical Workers Agree
to Continue Work Until
Midnight on Oct. q.

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-There will
be no general strike of electrical work
ers and telephone operators employed
by the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company until after the second
liberty loan campaign is ended.
Announcement of this was made to-
day after Mortimer F1eischacker of the
California State Council of Defense
had interviewed at the request of the
government and appealed to the pa
triotism Of the employees. The agree
ment was not reached until IL p. m.
last night, an hour before the time set
by organized telephone operators of
the Pacific coast lines to walk out. APP
parently the notice Of this action did
not reach the operators at Seattle In
time, for dispatches today stated that
electrical workers there quit work at
2 g. m.
AWAIT END OF CAMPAIGN.
BY agreement, the heads of the COM
pany's electrical workers in California,
Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Ne
vada will not carry out their strike
order until midnight, Oct. 81, IL hours
after the liberty loan drive ends.
Meanwhile, F1eischacker is expected
to continue his efforts to avert the
strike, because it is feared such a tie
up, would paralyze business in the Pa
cifio coast cities.
Until Fleischacker interviewed as me-
diator, the electrical workers, $500 in
number, were under orders to walk out
tomorrow, when their present contract
expires.
Negotiations with the company end
ed yesterday IN complete disagreement
The employees then issued an ultima
tum demanding a closed shop and rs
per cent increase in wages.
Fleischacker pointed out to the cleo
trical workers officials that tele-
phone strike at this time would I'M

erty loan on the Pacific coast and
