MEN ORGANIZE
FOR PROTECTIVE LAWS
War-Born Industry Fears Cheap
Products From Germany Will
Be Dumped Here.

The potash industry of the United
States has organized to urge upon
Congress that legislative protection
should be given to this war-born do
meStic industry, which has shown its
ability to supply all United States de-
mand by storing up a surplus Of more
than 100, 900 tons
An association of potash producers
was formed in Denver last week and
this association has sent over to Eu-
rope to see the President a former
government official who is a warm po-
litical friend of Mr. Wilson.
Eight or ten United States senators
under the leadership of Senators Hen
derson and Hitchcock are going to
handle the case of the domestic pot
ash industry in the next Congress.
The industry asks that the govern
ment should control it for at least a
year in order that it may grow strong
enough to compete successfully
against the German and Alsatian
products. They want prices fixed by
the government, production and dis
tribution regulated and restrictions
put upon importationS.
Before the war the United States
depended upon Germany for potash
supply. Now that Alsace is going to
be restored to France the big potash
deposits in Alsace will come into COM
petition with the big deposits in Ger
many. This is expected to result in
price cutting. Both the German and
Alsatian products are mined, while
most of the American production dur
ing the war has come from the natu
raj brines of the Sand Hill lakes in
Nebraska and Searles lake in Cali
fornia, by a more expensive process
Cablegrams show that Germany is
proposing to dump a war-Stored sur
plus of potash into this country at
ruinous prices. Cablegrams have also
shown that the food commission has
