Washington Joint Chairmen Taft
and Walsh of the national war labor
board have been asked by Secretary
of Labor Wilson to remain in charge
of that board until the war is Off
cially ended.
"While an armistice has been de-
clared, said Secretary Wilson in his
letter, I'VE have not yet reached the
status of peace. That will not be
reached until the presidents proc
lamation has been issued after the
peace treaties have ben signed and
approved by the senate. In the mean
time problems of production and read
justment will have to be dealt with.
For these reasons it is desired that
the national war labor board continue
its activities"

that period is 100000 tons. This
shows defnitee concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, in
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that in
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 70 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin

uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225 900
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
