Fuel Administrator Says U. S. May
Fall 100000 Tons Short.

Industrial and domestic coal con,
sumers must economic on coal, or
have a limit fixed for them, Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield announced last
night.
IF coal is now consumed in the
old peace-time way the supply will
fall 100000 tons short of necessary
requirements" he warned.
"If voluntary economy on the part
Of industrial and domestic con-
sumers added to the increased coal
production of 1917. which will reach
total of over 100000 tons. does
not provide fuel enough for the war,
and to keep our people warm. there
will come a time when some limita-
ton will have to be imposed upon
manufacturers of non-war products"
he said. Arbitrary Limitation is a last
resort, he continued. and already
many industries are practicing
economy.

TO CARE FOR
5000 NEWCOMERS
Chamber of Commerce Lists Room
ing and Boarding Houses.

Accommodations for nearly 5000
persons needing room and board are
now listed with the registration bu-
reau of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce.
1t is believed that practically every
war worker, for the next two months.
will be taken care of.
The panic which was caused when
all hotels and boarding houses filled
up soon after the influx of persons
to Washington was the cause for the
formation of the bureau.
At present, 1t is thought that there
will be no congestion for some time.
The accommodations vary from mod
est rooms. with substantial board,
to the more extravagant.
Every family has been checked up,
and is- as far as can be learned
respectable in every way. Secretary
Grant, of the chamber, said yes
terday that lists of those with whom
rooms and board may be found will
be printed by the thousands and
distributed to department heads and
hotels of Washington.

81 CENT SUGAR
. PRICE IS FIXED
FOR CONSUMERS
District Food Administrator
Warns Vendors Against
Prohteering Practices.

With the sugar shortage in Wash
ington becoming more acute daily.
Clarence r. Wilson. food administra-
tor for the District, declared last
night that the price of granulated
sugar in bulk should not exceed 91-2
cents to the consumer.
The price of sugar has been agreed
upon between the Food Administra-
ton and the refiners of the country,
and there has been no increase in
price since the agreement was made
weeks ago.
The declaration by Mr.. Wilson that
not more than 91-2 cents should be
charged by the retailer was made to
warn purchasers against any dealer
who might seek to take advantage of
the apparent shortage.
A shipment of 10000 pounds Of sugar
arrived yesterday, consigned to one
of the large retail chain groceries in
700 bags. One hundred and twelve
bags of sugar were stolen in transit,
it is said, and only 700 bags arrived
Further shipments may be expected
shortly as the result of the action
taken by c. Christian, Washington
representative of the Louisiana cane
growers.
In response to letter from Thomas
Grant, secretary of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Christian
telegraphed to the Louisiana pro-
ducers. and word was received that
supplies of both plantation granu-
lated and yellow clarified sugar had
been started for Washington.
Wont you get in touch with your
New Orleans headquarters and see
what. if anything, can be done"
wrOt Mr.. Grant to Mr.. Christian.
Mr. Christian telegraphed to Louis
lana, with immediate result.
At many grocery stores yesterday
police were required to control
crowds of women, men and children
when word spread that a grocery
had received sugar.
The Food Administration indicated
that it will prohibit grocers from re-
stricting sugar sales to those who
purchase other commodities.

DECIDES
ON ACTIVE PART
IN U.S.P POLITICS
Annual Convention of Fed
Grafton Will Henceforth
Be Held in June.

Buffalo. N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE Amers
can Federation of Labor representing
100000 workrs, most of them voters,
decided to take its place in the sun"
Of American politics today.
4 resolution was adopted by a vote
OF 255 to 81 on recommendation of the
executive council changing the time
for holding the annual convention
from November to June. The pur-
pose of the change. it was frankly
avowed by delegates. was to enable
the convention to meet at time
when campaign issues were being
shaped so that it might take a
definite stand upon them, heretofore
it has been the policy of the fedora
tion to hold its annual convention
after the November election to keep
politics out of the organization.
An effort was made by some of the
delegates to amend the resolution to
provide for holding the convention in
August because, as they put il, they
would be better able then to know
''on which side their bread was going
to be buttered." The amendment wa :
voted down. however, because it was
feared by the majority that holding
the convention in August would be
too far to leap into the political
arena.
Politics Not Barred.
President Gompers made a state
ment regarding the action and the de-
bate which proceed the action. He
declared that the general impression
that politics was specifically pro-
hibited in the organization is
erroneous.
The position of the federation has
been that partisan politics has no
place in the labsr movement, but
it never attempted to prohibit poll
tics itself because. after all Is said
and done. there isn't any act We
can take that doesn't have its po-
litical influence" said President Com
pers- THE labor movement of Amer
lea has influenced the activity of our
government, both national, State and
municipal, more than any group of
people"
As. one delegate explained the sit
uation. Labor is going TO be for
anybody who is for labor"
The federation does not intend to
affiliate itself with any particular
party but will throw its support to
candidates who pledge themselves to
support issues indorsed by labor.
The Socialist element in the con-
VentiOn was jubilant over the action.
Its members believe that organized
labor would be unable to accom-
plish its aims through any of the
old parties and would be forced to
give its support to the Socialist pro-
gram.
On the other hand. 1t was pointed
out that II the present relations be-
tween the President and the heads
of the federation are maintained in
their present harmonious state, the
influence of the organization in next
years campaign would guarantee the
administration continued control OF
Congress.
