MISREPRESENTATION Charged


"The Truth About the l. W. W." in
sists that there is widespread misrepre-
sentation concerning that organization.
1t further attributes this to three
sources:
First-The frank, open manner in
which the |. w. w. expresses its ami
mosities and publishes what it proposes
to do. This the pamphlet describes as
mostly big talk"
Second-The deliberate misrepresen-
tations of employing interests opposed
to organized labor.
Third-The antagonism between the
l. w. W. and the older trade unions.
In refutation of what is usually said
about the l. W. w. and its individual
members, this statement is made
"No member of the l. w. w. has been
convicted in any court of any crime in
voving the organization in so-called
'disloyalty' or violence from the time

 In conclusion, MT. Babst said:

BABST ANTICIPATES
 LOWER SUGAR RATE
Believes Commodity Mill Be More
 Plentiful in Short Time

No one ever dreamed that sugar
 which the world produces in billions of pounds yearly, could become so scarce that folks would be asked by the government and the sugar re- liners to use it sparingly. But the war, which has brought about many extraordinary conditions, also upset the worlds sugar-bowl.
 Today, everybody is interested in sugar. The housewife is eager to know when sugar will be more plen- tiful. And from a different point of view, the business man is following the sugar situation, interested in the success of the plan adopted as an emergency war measure by the gov ernment of the United States and the Allies to regulate and control supply, demand and price.
 These facts lend particular impor- tance to the following interview with Earl D. Babst, head of the American Sugar Refining company and one of the three United States members of the International Sugar committee. Not so many years ago, it wasn't the popular custom for men in Mr. Babsts position to discuss their busi- ness with the public. But MT. Babst is of the new school of Big Business managers who believes the public is entitled to know all about it. More Sugar Soon. In the interview MT. Babst covered every phase of the sugar situation. First, he spoke of the prospects of the immediate future, which most concerns the housewife. Said he: Sugar will soon be more plentiful with the new crop of sugar cane be- ing harvested in Cuba and Porto Rico Everything is favorable to a sufficient supply for our needs, but not enough to use sugar extrava gantly or waste fully. There must be no overbuying or hoarding.'
 And what about the price?" he was asked.
 Ordinarily the so-called law of supply and demand is a most impor- tant factor in regulating the price of sugar as of every other commodity But this law has been more or less if not entirely, suspended as the result of the control of the sugar situation by the act of six governments, includ- ing our own.
 "Ail during the war sugar in the United States has been lower in price, taking the average yearly price, than anywhere else in the world Today. comparing sugar on the basis of caloric food value, it is one of the cheapest foods.

COURAGEOUS TALK
 OF PROF. MILIUKOFF
His Famous Speech in the Russia
 Duna in 1916 Translated

London, Jan. 11.-StirTing events in Russia which are at the present time attracting the attention of the whole world came as a climax to the speech delivered by Prof. Paul Miliukoff, who made an attack on the then Premier Sumner, the man with the German name. This speech eventually caused Sumner to resign, and from that time on, up to the present. the country has seen revolutions and counter-revolu tions. An English paper printed the professors speech in verse form which was shown to Miliukoff, who said it was substantially correct. The following is the way it appeared in the English press: Gentlemen, I am, no less than you,
