Senate Votes
To Control
Sugar in 1920
Continued from pnge /

door Of the Sugar Board The zone
system which it established resulted in
one part of the country paying a much
higher price for its sugar than others
Senator Overman said. He expressed
the belief that the Sugar Board was in
competent.
Senator Gay, Democrat, louisiana
read into the record a long staten Mt
opposing the BILL on the ground that it
singles cut sugar for government reg
uation when other comm odities, in
which he said there is quite as much
profiteering, are not subjected to con-
troll of price or distribution. He
quoted Chairman Zabriskie Of the
Sugar Equalization Boa d 8 say rP
that it is now too late to prevent by
legislation a sugar shortage or an in
crease in price.
Expressing the hope that the House
would amend the McNary bill to make
its provisions stronger, Senator Harri
son Democrat Mississippi, said:
bill to guarantee the people supply
Of sugar at a reasonable price hope
they will substitute for it the bill
origina 'ly introduced by Senator Nc
Nary which was drawn up by the Sugar
Board"
Senator Harrison declared that the
mere fact that the Louisiana crop is
short was no excuse for the higher
price. He expressed the hope that the
Department of Justice ",Till place in
;ail those profitecrs who are exa ting
n cents a pound from the sugar con-
sumers of my state"
The House judiciary Committee to-
day reported the following resolution,

Massachusetts,, who expects to have it

eral is hereby directed to report to the

indiana Output Reported
so Per Gent of Normal
AH Miners Expected To Be
Back on Monday; Operators
Raise Price III Per Cent

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 12.-Practi
cally SO per cent of the normal amount
Of coal produced daily in Indiana was
hoisted from the mines to-day and
mining at full speed is expected to
begin Monday, statement by officials
of the Indiana bituminous coal opera
tors association announced tonight.
The ranks of returned miners were
greatly swelled, and the return of
many more tomorrow and the remain
ing few others Monday was predicted.
The operators based their statement
on reports from all parts of the In
dlana fields. Car shortage, it was said.
would be the only thing to impede
normal shipment of coal next week
Pans for the Federal Grand jury in
vestlgation of alleged violation of anti
trust laws and the Lever fuel control
act by operaotrs, miners and dealers
were continued to-day. The investi-
cation is scheduled to beg n next
Wednesday. 1t is believed that charges
of contempt of court for violation of
the Federal injunction against further
ance of the miners strike now pending
against eightyfour Internal onal and
district officials will be dismissed.
Hearing of these charges is set for
Tuesday morning.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-13
n to secure the withdrawal Of the

bill.
Miners oppose the bill, on the
ground that the limitation Of
profits would cease in March. They
argue that the limitation should con-
tinue until the naturalization of
mines, or some similar policy, may be
carried into effect. They also say
this bill automatically repeals the ex-
listing coal miners control act, and
would, therefore, relieve mine owners
r. m all further control after March
81. They fear the owners will adhere
to their old stand OH the wage ques-
ton.
This was the situation when Sir
Auckland Geddes moved the second
reading of the bill yesterday in a
speech admitting it would be difficult
to find single enthusiastic supporter
for the measure.
Lord Robert Cecil. remarking that
the government appeared unable to
lind solution, even by accident urged
the withdrawal of the bill, while Sir
Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, said
the measure was "most mischievous,
and inevitably would lead to nation
alization. He moved an adjournment
of the debate.
Mr.. Bonar Law, in accepting adjourn
ment, said the labor party's decision
..ad released the government from its
pledge, but the House must realize
that abandonment of tie bill would up
set the country's finances by enabling
coal mine owners to make and retain
enormous profit, for which losses the
treasury would be expected to make
good. The tone of Mr.. Bonar Law s
speech left some doubt whether the
government would attempt to proceed
with the bill

Red Cross Must Have
Sewing for Refugees

At the Red Cross rooms is an
of work for sufferers
across the sea, and if the garments
are not ready for shipment before
February first. they cannot be used.
Besides the allotment which would
have fallen to this chapter, there
is work that was intended for the
Junior Red Cross. Of course we
know that, situated as the school
girls are, they will be able to give
but little time to this work if they
are to make their school grades.
The ladies of the town can do the
sewing, but it would be difficult
for them to do the school work for
the students.
More machines are needed, and
the loan of one or more would be
appreciated. Most of the work
comes ready cut, and may be taken
home by women who feel sure that
they can come up to specifications.
The best course perhaps would
be to come to the rooms and make
a garment or two, and become
familiar with the way they are to
be made before taking them home.
The specifications are almost as
strict as were those for the hos
pital garments, but are not unrea-
sonable.
There will probably be but little
sewing after February, and every
woman who can sew is urged to
help keep up the splendid record
maintained by this chapter all
through the year.

IDAHO SPRINGS COLO. FRIDAY. JANUARY 3. 1919
Boy Nearly Killed
By Stove Explosion

The explosion of a water front
in kitchen stove caused the very
serious, and perhaps fatal, injury
of the 4-year old son of Tom.
Munchando at the family home
near the Blue Ribbon spring early
Friday morning.
The water pipes were frozen,
preventing a circulation of the wa
ter, and when sufficient steam
pressure was formed the explo-
sion occurred, tearing the stove to
pieces and scattering the frag-
ments in all directions. Several
pieces struck the little boy, who
was standing near, and inflicted
such terrible wounds that it is
doubtful if he will recover.
The family removed here re-
Gently from Freeland. where the
father works on the Gum Tree
mine.

Mrs. A. H. COlburn
Passes Away in Denver

Mrs. A. H. Colburn formerly a
resident of Idaho Springs, passed
away at her home in Denver Tues
day evening, her death being the
result of influenza.
Mrs. Colburn was for many years
we'll known in social circles here,
and retained many friends after
the family removed to Denver
about seven years ago.
The husband and large family
of children survive. Funeral SER
vices were held Friday morning in
Denver, and interment took place
at Mount Olivet cemetery.
Mrs. S. L. Burger had been
with Mrs. Co burn for several days,
and Mrs. Nello Boyd went down
Thursday evening to be present at
at the funeral.

Cold Weather
Prevails, Roads
Are Blocked

Seriously cold weather has pre-
vailed in Idaho Springs since the
night of December 30, when the
government thermometer at the
Big Five registered 8 below zero.
The warmest temperature on the
3lst was 4 degrees above zero.
That night the lowest temperature
of the winter was reached when
the same thermometer registered
II below zero. New Years day
was very cold, and though the
temperature is not so low the last
few days, sharp wind makes the
weather very disagreeable.
Snow has been SO drifted that
the road is practically impossible
in both directions. Milkmen from
the east did not come Thursday or
Friday, and it was only Friday af-
ternoon that Wiebe Pasma was
able to co me from the west. Mar
tin Michel and Ed. Bergman at
tempted to climb Lookout noun
tain Wednesday, but gave it up,
and returned to Golden.
"The days begin to lengthen and
the cold begins to strengthen" +"
We may be able to get some conso-
lation, however, from the fact that
in this cold snap lower tempera-
lures are reported from our neigh
bors to the east. Trains from
that direction have been compelled
to bach up for fresh starts through
the drifted snow.

How the Influenza
Has Affected Schools

Superintendent Greene spent
last Friday and Saturday in Den
yer attending the Colorado Educa-
tional Council Mr. Greene col
lected some interesting data with
regard to the way in which the
situation following the influenza
epidemic will be handled over the
state.
A study was made of the larger
towns with some of the following
findings:
Most schools start work Decem-
ber 80 or January 6.
Over seventy five precent of the
schools will try to make up the
work by adding to the school day.
Two schools will teach six days
in the week.
A few schools will teach Satur-
day mornings.
Many schools will add two or
three weeks in June, closing June
p.
The Denver schools will have
their regular week of spring vaca-
ton and close June q.
All colleges and universities will
accept the grades given by teachers
and school officials. and accept
students without examination, even
though they have completed less
than the required number of weeks
in attendance.
Local schools will continue to
make time by adding period of
fifty-6ve minutes to each school
day. This will make up all the
time excepting three weeks, if
school is held on holidays.
The date for closing school has
not yet been determined.
