The statement in the Boston News Blu.
reau above referred to. appeared in the
issue of Wednesday morning and fol
lows:
Boston, American Sugar for the last
two or three weeks has been the victim OF
direct attack by the l. w. w. It's big
Brooklyn refinery, the Havemeyer &
Elder, was the first to feel the attack OF
labor aGitators. This Is perhaps the big
gest sugar refinery in the world with q
capacity of 1900 to loco barrels daily
1t was doing nothing for few days, but
the situation is steadily improving and
this refinery Is again turning out sugar
although of course not capacity.
The chief attack of the labor agitators
has been In Philadelphia. American SUI
gar has two plants in Philadelphia, and
both have been badly tied up. Their com
bined capacity at maximum output is
probably around 1900 barrels daily
There has been rioting and violence In
Philadelphia. but the company is taking
the position that it will not have It's at
fairs dictated by any outside organiza-
ton and that it will fight to the finish.
There is very direct evidence that the
hysteria in the refined sugar market last
week was the outgrowth of clever pub
licity campaign on the part of the I. W.

preston that a sugar famine was pending
and the newspapers did the rest. Excited
buyers rushed into the market. paying

or three or four times what they could
have secured all the sugar needed had
they kept cool and used their heads
1t is the misfortune of American sugar
that it has among it's employees a large
body of unskilled workmen. Some of
them have been easy meat for the pro-
fessional I. W. w. element American
Sugar has met the increasingly cost of liv-
ing situation by steady advances in
wages. For example, at its Franklin re-
finery on Dec 1, 1915. wages paid un-
skilled labor were s12e6 per week. On
May 3, 1916. these wages had increased to
SIS per week. an advance Of S. per week.
Since then the company has given a bo-
nus of Sc Of January wages, payable
early this month, so that altogether there
has been an advance in wages during
the past II or Is months of over 500.

Twenty-one years ago tomorrow,
which was March 2, 1896. was the date
of one of the biggest freshets on the
kennebec river in modern times, and
one of the most destructive. There
! was a height of about IS feet of water
on the steamboat wharf and the freight
shed was carried away. The Edwards
mills were flooded and the street from
the foot of Northern avenue to the old
Farmers Hotel on upper Water street
was covered with water so deep that
| the only means of travel between the
two points mentioned was by boat.
The height of water on the Augusta
dam was said to be about II feet and
so great was the rush Of logs and ice
that fears were felt for the safety Of
the Kennebec bridge. The business
section of Haliowell was under water
and traffic on the Maine Central Rail-
road was held up for several days.
Some of the business section of Gardi-
ner was under water, and the Gardi-
ner and Randolph bridge, from the
draw to the span on the east shore,
was carried away by jam of logs and
was finally landed on the Dresden
shore, a short distance above Rich
mond. A part of the rise of water was
due an ice jam which formed between
the west shore of Swan Island and the
west shore of the river at Richmond

Prior to February 18th the market ap-
peared very easy and buyers were look

situation in New York and Philadelphia
had become more serious, and a lot of
orders were being thrown on to Boston
which must have pretty we'll cleaned
out both Rehneries. Realizing that
we might have temporary short
age we ordered five car loads of sugar for
Augusta. The whole of New England
was bare of sugar at that time. The
market advanced and then commenced a
scramble to secure supplies. The Boston
Refineries were simply swamped with
business which they could not possibly
handle. We succeeded IN getting our
first car of sugar late on the day OF
February 2lst: the next morning by 8
o'clock nearly every pound had been de-
livered on orders, and by distributing a
barrelgin a place we were partially able
to relieve the situation.
Being unable to get any information
from Boston as to when we would get
shipment Of another car, we immediate
ly placed an order in New York and we
received late yesterday a telegram from
the Warner Sugar Refining Company ad-
vising US that they would ship a car
by Thursday nights boat. If we can get
this car out of Portland Friday we will
have the sugar to deliver Saturday morn
ing. We also received yesterday a let
ter stating that they expected to ship
one car of our sugar out of Boston this
week. These two cars ought to keep us
along until we can get some more.

One of her most beautiful numbers
was her singing of Ave Maria when
she looked like a Madonna, with
clasped hands and dark hair parted
smoothly above a sweetly serious face
Her singing was a passionate appeal
above the throb and thrill of piano
and violin obligato.
Martin Richardson who also found
great favor and drew generous ap-
plause, is distinctly operatic in his
style. He is at home in stirring eli
makes and fervent passages as was
seen in his duet with Morgana
Parigi o Cara. Morgana with her
coy graces made an adorable sweet
heart. and Mr.. Richards sang the part
of the ardent lover in fine sEle.
The audience was quick to recognize
in Irma Williams violinist out of the
ordinary and Of rare gift. She reminds
one of Leginska with her warm tenn
permanent and the intensity which
seems to sway her and vibrate through
her playing. Lewiston people will not
soon forget this vivid little violinist. -
