BIG PROFIT IN WHEAT FEEDS.
Mr.. Fairbank Wants to Know Why
Price Is Not Regulated.

Editor of The Reformer:-
| would like to ask why the food COM
mission does not have the right to regu-
late the price of wheat feeds as they
are needed in the production of milk,
butter and hogs. These are the things
Mr. Hoover SAYS are necessary. Now
the dealers in wheat feeds get $24 a
ton profit. less freight, at present
prices. Why not regulate the prices of
these feeds which are essential to the
New Englanders? The farmer has his
wood and other products regulated. Is
it fair not TO have grain dealers prices
fixed?

SUGAR CONTROL
SAVED MILLIONS
American Consumer Profited by
180,OOO,O00EFrench Stu
alton Helped.
HOME PRICE HELD AT 9 CENTS,
This Nations Sugar Supply Reduced
to Seventy Per Cent. OF Normal.
Java Stocks Unavailable.

Sugar control has saved the Amer
lean public $1S0,OO0,000, Herbert Hoovf
er. United States food administrator,
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was SELL
ing for IL cents pound last August
and that it would have advanced to ~
cents a pound, with the world short
age as a stimulus, had not the food
administration secured the co-opera'
ton of the refners and wholesalers
and fixed sugar price that today en-
ables housewives to buy sugar at from
Sh to 8 cents pound.
EVERY l cent raise In sugar from
September l to January l means $lS,-
100000 to the American consumer"
Mr.. Hoover said. Numbers of gen
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed of $1SO,O00,000 this year If we
had not taken these actions" Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
35 cents pound during the Civil War.
France GOT OuF sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 70 per cent. of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
55 pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"a pounds, and in France each person
is allotted little over one pound a
month.
"In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration" Mr.. Hoover declared.
IAN appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 tons. We
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped S5,426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with so per cent. of normal supply.
This has been generally followed, al
though such regulations were vOlun-
tary, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price is eIa to 9 Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take profit of no
more than so cents a hundred-half a
cent a pound-on sugar. BY reason OF
food administration regulations, bind
ing refners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at
from to 8h cents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
S1a to 8 cents a pound.
! There have been some violations of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from is to
20 cents per pound have been reported.
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself of the prices
at which consumers would have been
muIct had we not interviewed. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses in ag-
gravated cases, and we have issued
warnings to first offenders in great
many instances through our local ad-
miniStrat tors"

Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon If ships could
be sent to Java, where 250,00O tons of
sugar is waiting for shipment. But
the shipping situation is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar.
1t would take the boats one year to
haul 250,000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France.
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
it's sugar consumption by 10 or 10 per
cent when it is made clear that such
sugar saving is a patriotic act and
when it is understood that there are
plenty of sweeteners available to take
the place of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup.

STOPPED WORK ON SHlPWAYs
Up New Jersey Industries-Other
Labor News.

Thousands of mechanics employed
in several large shlpyards adjacent to
Newark, N. j., quit work after reso-
luton had been adopted at a meeting
of business agents of the building
trades council authorizing a strike of
all union men engaged on government
work In the territory. The strike
stopped all work on q dozen shipways
In course of construction at the federal
Shipbuilding plant, where hundreds of
dock workers. carpenters, bricklayers,
plumbers, roOfers and other union men
walked out. A few hundred laborers
and other nOnunion men remained at
work. Union men declared that the
strike was called to prevent the Lack
awana Bridge company, contractors,
from "disrupting union conditions by
discriminating against union men and
working under the open-shop basis"
and is no indication of disloyalty to
the government.

) The American Federation of Labor,
by unanimous vote, adopted state
ment of the conditions and principles
that must be applied to industrial prob
lens arising from the war as far as
union labor is concerned. The dec
laration Is regarded as in line with the
general understanding that has ex
listed between President Wilson and
President Gompers, but there are some
points that have been In doubt which
the statement clarified.
The declaration does not say there
shall be no strikes.
''It is advisable" the final para
graph reads, that production should
not cease because of an apparent in
Justice or oversight contained In an
award, for 1t is necessary to the ma
tion's production as well as the well
fare of the trade union movement that
there should be no cessation of work
except as a last resort"
The right to organize is claimed as
essential to the solution of all prob
lens arising between employer and
labor, and equal representation will
be asked with the employer on all
wage boards and commissions.
Wage conditions, the statement says,
will be governed by several vital fac
tors to be considered apart from the
increased cost Of living, some of these
factors mentioned being the compara-
tive wage scale in other establishments
In the same district and whether it
was reached by collective bargaining
between employer and employee.

Federal court opinions holding that
a definite period Of relief given train
men at terminal points between their

cannot be deducted in estimating their
hours Of service, were in effect sus-
tanned by the United States Supreme
court in refusing to review proceed
ings brought by the Minneapolis and

for violating the hours of service act.
The railroad was convicted on 10
counts and fined $1,000.
A booth six feet square in an amuse-

sion Of the supreme court.

Los Angeles workers are nonunion

30 per cent to their pay.
More than thirty thousand men en-

relief.
Mrs. Drake, speaking at the Fabian

known as "The Sisterhood," who
stirred up their menfolk to riot against
some new machines.
There are two large labor organiza-
tiOns in England-the British Trades
Union congress, with a membership Of
100000, and the General Federation

Of 100000.
One hundred riveters, shipwrights
and iron workers on government con-
tracts went on strike at the Los An
geles Shipbuilding and Drydock COM
pany plant at San Pedro, Cal.
Thousands are idle In different
trades in New South Wales, Australia,
owing to the shortage Of coal. All coal
mines are working, but there Is little
shipping to remove the coal.
The ManitowOc (Wis.) Shipbuilding
company was assured by the war de-
partment that its employees will be
exempted from selective draft.
Nearly fifty thousand Coventry

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing CEN
ters of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is, of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because OF
the ship shortage.
While U boats made big inroads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England in the mean
time was cut off from German sugar,
100000 tons year-because Of the
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced to turn
to America and the West Indies for
their sugar.
