Brotherhood of Operative Potters will
open its annual convention here to-
morrow. Delegates will deal solely

tions adopted at the sessions will be
taken up in September at a joint con.
ference with the Sanitary Manufacture
ers' Association and deliberated for final
action on terms for the biennial agree
ment. The present contract expires on

workers are reasonably satisfied with
the wages in the trade and this question

mer years. The manufacturers. at a
recent conference in Atlantic City with
the men, voluntarily advanced wages
from 10 per cent of the established scale
which was granted last fall, to % per
cent.

Three pounds of sugar a person n
month and big cut in the amount per-

late the regulations
An estimated production from all

manufacturing purposes and the needs
OF the army and navy. is responsible for
the heavy curtailment order.
Confectioners, sCft-drink manufacture
ers, commercial Gamers and others listed
as less essential users of sugar" are
hardest hit by the new order. Sugar for
canning and preserving, however. may
be bought by householders in lots not
exceeding twenty-five pounds and only
on certificate.
Retailers are not permitted to sell
more than two pounds at a time to any
one person in this city and not more than
five IN the country districts, except for
canning and preserving. Householders
are urged as patriotic duty to cut down
consumption as much as possible.
Persons buying sugar for canning or
preserving must agree to return all not
used for that purpose. Hotels and res
taurants which do not observe the regu-
lations may be deprived of their sugar
supply
Manufacturers of candy. chewing gum
soft drinks and various other sweets will
be limited to SO per cent of the amount
used in July, August and September las
year. Ice-cream manufacturers will ge
rs per cent. All public eating places
will be supplied on the basis of three
pounds for each ninety meals served.
All users of sugar, except household
ers, had to make statement on or be
fore today showing all the sugar the!
hold or have in transit. Failure to make
such statement on the form. issued by thu
food administration will result in depriv
ing the user of any sugar for the re
