SUGAR BOARD ASKS
FOR REGULATION

Under date Of September as
George A. zabriskie, president OF the
U. s. sugar equalization board. ad-
dressed the following communities
ton to James II. Post, chairman
American refiners' committee:
In view of the present abnor-
NAL demand for sugar and the ina
bility to keep pace with 1t, also con
sidering the limited supply. It is the
opinion of the board that a CON-
mittee on distribution should be Or
ganized by you, not only to stop
duplication OF orders, but to give
such preferences as were suggested
by the food administration some
what on the order OF the old Abe
DE class arrangement.
''Confectioners and candy manu-
facturers, for instance, ought to be
cut down to so per cent of their
essentials regulated accordingly
while preference should be given to
manufacturers of medicine, fruit
preserves. condensed milk com
ponies, etc. Our observation has
been that candy manufacturers have
not only had their normal supply OF
sugar, but in many cases have an
ticipated their wants and been able
to acquire sugar ahead at the ex-
pense of more essential Industries.
will you kindly take this matter
up with your committee and greatly
oblige."
Pressing this further, Mr. Zabris-
kie appeared before the American
ref1ners committee, at their meet
ing on Tuesday. September 30, and
asked that a committee be appointed
to supervise the distribution of cane
sugar by the Atlantic coast and
gulf refiners for the balance OF the
year. For this purpose the follow
ing committee was appointed by
Mr.. Post
J. A. Mccarthy, Edward wcmple.
Charles Bruyn. Edward Y. Cross
more, Frank c. Lowry, chairman.
In order to carry out the food
administration Instructions, plans
are being formulated by this COM
mittee and definite announce
ment will be made as soon as pos
sible.
Roughly IL appears that for the
balance Of the year there Ia suf-
ticient cane suger available to al
low for its distribution in the
states covered by the cane refiners
last fall and winter. In about the
same amounts as was distributed In
September and October 1918. Buy
ers in the cane sugar territory can,
therefore, use the amounts received
during these months as an index OF
their probable supply during the re-
naming three months of this year,

SEND YOUR MONEY

TIMBERW0RKERS

The situation is unchanged in the
strike of the Mill Workers at Bel
lingham. The mill company is
making every effort to fill the
places of the strikers, but meeting
with poor success.
The timber barons of the State
are awaiting the outcome of the
struggle at Bellingham for the
purpose of using it as a basis for
future action. There is no question
that this is a life-and-death strug-
gle for the Timberworkers' Union
and the State Federation of Labor
is urging all unions to stand by
their sister union in distress and
furnish the sinews of war-financ-
es. Some unions report lack of
funds. These are urged to make a
personal solicitation for funds for
the Timberworkers.

High Cost of Living

On the subject of the high cost
of living, as it affects the coal
miners, Mr.. Lewis said:
"The astonishing increase in the
cost of the neCessaries of life have
been the cause of deep concern and
grave apprehension to the workers
of the entire country, and particu-
larly in the mining industry. This
condition, striking directly at the
home of the worker, has created
great unrest, which is manifested in
the stern determination of the work
ers of all trades and occupations to
increase their earning power in or
der to keep pace with the increased
expenditure made necessary by
greater outlay for living necessities.
our own people, living ofttimes in
isolated communities, at points far
distant from the centers of distribu-
tion, have felt this situation perhaps
more keenly than the workers of
any other trade, and we are today
face to face with the situation where
relief must be found. The belated
attempt of the Federal Government
to reduce the cost of living is not
expected to affect any sweeping re-
duction in the prices of necessities;
at best it scarcely can be hoped that
the Governmental agencies can be
able to do more than prevent fur
ther soaring in costs. The situation
as it affects our people is most Sc
rious, and immediate action must be
taken by our organizations to make
il possible for the mine workers and
their dependents to meet it.

BRODECK-FlELO
STORE IMPROVED

The clothing store of Brodeck-
Field has undergone great improve
ments. The front is remodeled, i'm
proving the show windows, which
now give much better daylight in
the interior. The boys department
has been so changed as to give
space for a fine shoe department.
The boys department occupies the
front of the second story, making it
a very attractive place for boy GUS
toners, and a restful place for their
mothers who accompany them when
making purchases. A new lighting
system has been installed through
out the store and many other con
veniences for customers added. All
this, with renovation and re
painting, make the Brodeck-Field
store a credit to the city.

JOHN MITCHELL
HAS PASSED AWAY

John Mitchell, former President
of the United Mine Workers of
America, died at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in the Post Graduate
Hospital, New York City.
John Mitchell not only possessed
the love and confidence of that
great labor organization of which
he was an able and trusted leader,
but also the respect of the good
citizenship of his country.
Mr.. Mitchell was only 40 years
old. Although he underwent an
operation ten days ago for the re-
moval of gall stones, his condition
had been reported as satisfactory,
and his death was wholly unex-
pected by his friends.
1t was announced Tuesday night
that plans for the funeral had not
been completed, but that interment
would be in Scranton, Pa.
Blood TRANSMISSION was resorted
to in an effort to save the life of
Mr.. Mitchell.
His two sons, Robert and James,
% and "a years old, begged for the
opportunity to give their blood.
Robert, being the younger, was
accepted, but the patient failed to
rally after the TRANSMISSION.
With Mr. Mitchell when he died
were his wife arJ his sons ant
daughter. Gov. Smith, who hat
called to inquire about his condi-
tion, arrived only a few minutes
after he had breathed his last
Since 1915 Mr.. Mitchell had been
Chairman of the New York State
industrial Commission. He also
served as President Of the State
Food Commission, Chairman of the
Federal Food Board, President OF
the New York State Council of
Farms and Markets, and as a mem
ber of the Federal Mix Commits
sion for the Eastern States. His
home was in Mount Vernon.

METAL TRADES
SHIP BUILDERS
SIGN AGREEMENT 7

The American Federation of La
Dor Weekly News Letter said last
week:
Officers of the Metal Trades De-
that an agreement has been signed
with the Atlantic and Gulf Coast
Shipbuilders' Association (which is
practically our original proposition
to the Atlantic coast shipbuilders. y
A board of 10 members, equally
divided, shall be created to adjust
grievances and to interpret, de-
termine and enforce the standards
of wages, hours, classifications and
working conditions as set forth in
the agreement" Wage rates now
in force shall continue until Octo-
ber /, next.
Any national or international af-
filiate of the A. F. Of l.. may become
a party to this agreement, if it has
jurisdiction in these ship yards.
The board will establish an office
at some central point, and the ex-
penses of same will be divided
equally between the two parties.
President O'Connell, of the Met
al Trades Department, states that
the Saturday half holiday will be
one of the first questions to be
considered by the Board, although
all yards are operating practically
on the 44-hour basis with the ex-
ception of a few small yards and
the repair yards in the New York
district.
President O'Connell also states
that an agreement has been secured
with shipbuilders OF the San
Francisco and Puget Sound dis
tricts which raises rates s cents an
hour for all employees. This makes
the new rates $3.50, $500 and the
basic trades $7.04.
