SUGAR PLENTIFUL
Hoardig Is Not Necessary-War De-
partment Has Sold 81 Million
Pounds to the Equalization
Board

New York, August 5.-The War De.
partment has sold to the United
United States Sugar Equalization
Board 37,000,g00 pounds of refined
sugar, it was announced here by Geo.
A. zabriskie, president of the board
who declared there is abundance" of
raw sugar in the country, that retail
prices should not exceed IL cents a
pound, and that there is no need of
boarding.
The head of the sugar equalization
board said that ~profiteering dealers,
if reported, may suffer revocation of
their licenses for they are still under
the control of the federal food admin
istration, who will not cease to func-
ton until the senate sign the peace
treaty.
He charged the apparent shortage
to speculative exporters and be-
lated orders from Gamers and candy
makers.
Housewives were boarding sugar un-
necessarily, he said, New England hav-
ing refined sugar stocks sufficient to
last six months.
New Orleans States: The retailer.
and not the Louisiana sugar producers
or the refiners. are responsible for
any high sugar prices. according to
Judge r. E. Milling, attorney for the
Cane Growers Association.
THE Louisiana producers and the
refiners' said Judge Milling when the
New York dispatch was read to him.
receive 8 cents a pound for granulat-
ed sugar, with a discount of 2 per
cent for cash or 8.82 cents a pound
net.
Under Food Administration regula-
lions, the wholesale grocer iobber is
allowed a profit of 35 cents a hun
dred pounds. All profit above this is
taken by the retailer.
"It is the custom of the people to
curse the Louisiana sugar producers
for the high price of sugar where as
a matter of fact, they are not re-
sponsible for it. The retailer is the
party to blame"
Judge Milling declared that the
last shipment of the $4,000 bags of
sugar turned over to the United States
Sugar Equalization Board for distri-
button put of here, left New Orleans
Friday.
These 16S, 1000 bags, Judge Milling
said were distributed for the United
States Sugar Equalization Board by
the Louisiana sugar committee.

SINNERS will be skinned.

STOCKYARDB BARS
ALL NEGRO LABOR
Packers Announce Decision After Fire
Destroys Six Blocks

Chicago.-To prevent a possible re-
currence of fires which early last Fri
day destroyed six blocks of homes of
stock yards workers, negro labor will
be barred from the yards, it was an
nounced after a conference between
Governor Lowden and the packers.
The stock yards had been a storm
center during the race riots last week
and with peace restored it had been
planned to permit the $4,000 negro
workers to return However, feeling
was aggravated by the fire, which
many Of the foreign workers who were
made homeless charged the negroes
with starting. 1t was therefore decid-
ed to change the plans.
Gov, Lowden expressed the belief
that labor trouble rather than race
feelings was responsible for the fires
despite statements that witnesses had
reported to the fire attorney that they
saw negroes starting fires in the neigh
borhood.
The homes burned were chiefly
those Of Lithuanians and Polish fam
lilies, and the governor thought re-
ports indicated radical labor men had
started the blazes because the fore
ign workers had not supported their
plans.
Troops were on duty at the fire
ruins and in the negro residence dis
trict. Schools and fire stations have
been opened to homeless families.
Coroner Hoffman announced that
no marks Of violence had been found
on the body of Eugene Williams a ne
gro youth, who wah reported stoned
and knocked from a raft into Lake
Michigan last Sunday at a bathing
beach, the act precipitating the riots.
The coroner stated that the negro had
not been struck by stones, but had
been drowned. George Stauber, white
is held by the police on a charge Of
murder in connection with Williams
death.
Only a few minor disturbances &C.
CURED of late. The federal, state and
city investigation of the riots and fire
continued and at least $50 negro sus-
poets and several score of whites
where taken to Jail.
Negro attorneys are preparing dam
age suits against the city. Under the
laws, persons who do not parti-
cipate in riots can recover from the
municipality for damage sustained.

SIR EDWARD CARS0N PROTESTS
 AGA|NST WILSON'S STATEMENTS

Go the other and it is difficult to fore see, therefore what circumstances can arise which would justify interference by the league in relation to any par ticular unit
 If President Wilson means to sug gest that, because there is a large popu- lation of Irish descent or Irish origin in the United States who sympathize with the claims of the Irish secession ists, this fact threatens to disturb in- ternational peace or the good under standing between the United States and the United Kingdom, and that therefore the case arises under section great respect enter a protest.
 There would be no end of interference founded on such plea which really means that citizens who have adopted a new country carry with them the right to interfere in the affairs of the country of their origin. All haturalized citizens of all countries could raise a similar plea and become formidable more or less. in accordance with their numbers and especially at election times. It is not necessary to point how disastrous the results would be. But there are too many obvious criticisms to be made by any one who desires to make the league of nations a failure from the start. I do not desire to range myself with such critics. I believe the league only possible if real good will be shown by it in it's infancy and if wise men anxious for it's success are chosen at the start to administer and evolve it's constitution

Pueblo Ready For Strike, To
 Gudrd Plants

PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. 21-After a meeting lasting until midnight, last night, the union leaders in charge of the strike preparations announced that they had been authorized by the steel workers council to furnish the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company a suffi- cient number of men to prevent any damage to the Minnequa plant here, from complete shut down of the plant Monday when the unionized em- ployes are expected to answer the strike summons. The purpose is said to be to leave the work at the plant in such condition as to enable the workers to resume work where it was left off when the strike is over
 No advance toward an agreement between company officials and the union leaders that would prevent a strike of the unionized employees of the Minneaqua plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company was made today The situation remains the same and both employers and employees are wait ing for the seven o'clock whistle to blow Monday morning to determine just how strong the union forces are.
 Union leaders are determined to call the men out Monday morning. and the company has announced that the gates to the steel works will be open Monday morning as usual and all men who desire to work and work under the industrial representation plan in vogue at the plant will be welcome to do so. The company plans on con- tinuing operations if it has sufficient men to operate the plant. If not enough
 workmen respond the plant will be shut down.
 It is further understood that the company, does not contemplate the inn portation of strike break CTS nor the employing of an increased number of armed guards at the plant. It appears i to be a case of giving employment to those who desire to work instead of
 the company desiring to continue the
 operation of the plant under excep- tional difficulties.
 Some of the employees of the plant drew their time today, it is understood
 instead of waiting for Monday. It is presumed that these employees are go- ! ing on a vacation.
 l Of the twelve demands made upor 1 the company, only one seems to be ir 1 contention. That is elimination of the Rockerfeller plan and the substitution of union contract and closed shop.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-President Will sons attitude regarding the self de- termination of Ireland has attracted the attention of Sir Edward Carson, inc Ulster leader. who in a statement today declared:
 "As one anxious to see the league of nations founded to protect the world against the horrors of war I do not de- sire to raise difficulties or anticipate decisions on questions which must arise in the gradual development of sound system of jurisprudence under inc covenant. Therefore, l am reluct- ant to criticise the presidents answer 10 questions put to him by the San francisco labor council with reference 10 Ireland.
 Indeed, I find it difficult to under stand from the answer given what state of facts with relation to Irlenad the president contemplated which entities any of the contracting parties to raise this question under Section eleven of tbe covenant dealing with peace safe guards.
 T would like, however, in the inter- ests of success of the league to point ont. that nothing would more likely lead to its failure than interference by any of the great contracting parties with .he evolution of government in the realms of the others. The United King dom. as a whole, is one of the contract Ing parties and in respect to constitu- tional rights and government all the units of the United Kingdom stand on sln equal basis, none being subordinate

0N EVE OF STEEL STRIKE
 BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
 THEY WILL WIN VICTORY
First Measuring of Strength Between
 Great Forces of Labor and Capital Comes Tomorrow Morning, Officials Taking Precautions Against Trouble

PITTSBURG Pa., Sept 2O.-The eve of the nation wide strike in the steel industry finds both sides in the contest apparently prepared for the battle Final arrange ments rushed today the corporations paying much attention to plans for guarding their property and the union leaders continuing their intensive campaign to unonize unoganized and urging others to stand by the workers Tonight there seemed to be nothing to do but wait for the test of strength Monday when the strike will officially begin.
 Expressing confidence that the unions have not the power to compel general shutdown officials of the United States Steel Corporation, the main object of the attack of labor and of other steel companies said they will blow their whistles as usual Monday morning and try to operate their plants.
 They frankly admit they will do their best and if sufficient men do not report which they do not concede, they will shut down until such time they command enough men to make it worth while to start up again

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Sept 20 Know dead as the result of last Sundays storm remained unchanged tonight with the bodies of 3S6 victims officially reported buried, and the inn pression was growing that few addi- tional bodies would be found.
 There was no disposition tonight, however, to cut down estimates placing the probable total dead at from 800 to 700.
 The property damage still is placed at about s20,000,000 for Corpus Christi and immediate vicinity.
 One week of horror for Corpus Christi ended tonight with the city rapidly emerging from the chaos wrought by the terrific storm and tidal wave the swept from the gulf last Sunday.
 The four thousand homeless, almost all from the north beach district, have been cared for in every particular, hundreds of them sent to other cities, while the rest were maintained here on supplies and money contributed from other sections.
