SUGAR TO RETAIL AT EIGHT
CENTS, PRODUCERS AGREE

Washington, September 20-Beet
sugar producers in conference with
the food administration today reached
an unanimous agreement under
which the stable retail price of sugar
will be about eight cents pound.
They will sell to wholesalers at east
ern refining points at cents about
a pound, cane basis, and the retails
prices, it was stated, would normally
be not more than y cents higher.
At the same time, the fool admin
istration announced that an interna-
tlonai committee of five had been
named to arrange for the purchase
and distribution Of the vast quantities
.-of sugar needed by the United States
and allied countries. This commit
tee, actingfi through the food admin
istration under authority Of Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation placing
the sugar industry in this country I'M
der license, will control a large pro-
portion of the worlds sugar output.
Inclusion of the big Cuban cane SUI
gar producing interests in the allied
distributing scheme will be discussed
with the food administration tomor-
row by the Cuban minister, DR.. Man
uel DeCesphedes, and two Cuban su-
gar growers. Cuba's participation in
the plan is expected, particularly in
view of the governments power to
prevent Importation by refusing H.
censes to producers not agreeing to
the uniform price.
The new sugar price will become
effective in the west October /, when
the 1917 crop reaches the refinsries,
and in the east about two weeks later
The present price of beet sugar to
wholesalers Is about S.4 cents a
pound.

GOVERNMENTS PRICE ON COAL
CLOSES % MINES

Clarksburg, w. Va, September 20
Twent-five coal mining plants in
Harrison county alone have suspend
ed operation during the last week or
two as a direct result of the estab-
lishment of 81 a ton for coal at the
mine according to a statement issued
here today by Daniel Howard, a pro-
minent central West Virginia coal OPP
orator.
These mines were forced to sus-
pend, Mr.. Howard says because the
price is too low for the operators to
CONTINUE mining coal without a loss.
Reports received by him from other
counties of this section are to the eff
feet that many other mining plants
have been forced to suspend lately
for the same reason.
