DEMANDS j. S. CLERKS
UNION QUIT A. F. OF |.

A demand that the Federal EN-
ployes' Union should withdraw from
aff1liation with the A. F. Of L. was
made in the Senate today by Senator
Myers Of Montana.
Senator Myers said that he be-
lieved the action Of the Washington
police in withdrawing from affiliation
with the A. F. of L. was very wise. He
said that he thought the federal en-
ployes should take similar action.
Senator Myers said that he had no
objection to the employees of the gov
ernment having unions of their own
but that he did not believe they should
be connected with any outside organi-
Organized labor. Senator Myers
charged, is strangling the country.
He said that the threatened strike Of
the bituminous coal miners was the
most brutal thing he had ever known
Unless all of the demands of these
miners are granted, which, he said,
would result in $50 per cent increase
in their wages over pre-war wages,
these miners propose to stop work on
November l. on the very eve of win
ter. Such action. he said. would not
only cause the freezing of many peo-
ple. but would result in starvation
He said that the demands of the
miners were preposterous.
"I do not believe in restraining cap
ital and letting labor run riot at the
same time." said Senator Myers.

by the United States Food Administra-
tion that. effective October Is and un-
til further notice. they are not to
ship or deliver sugar to any point

the request Of the United States Sugar
Equalization Board, which set forth
that the beet sugar factories OF the
west are commencing to turn out
sugar and that the supply from these
factories, together with the Louisiana
production, should take care of the
area west of the territory referred
to. Az the production Of beet and
Louisiana cane sugar increases, the
announcement says, the area supplied
from these sources gradually will be
extended eastward.

days, or nights. II the experiment
in coid-weather flying is successful,
he said. a regular American-Alaskan
route will be established. With the

Mitchell said. there will be only

though commercial motors probably
will be cheaper, the cost of the Army
motors, Gen. Mitchell said. is on the
increase. Planes also. he said. will not
become cheaper unless the plan Of
using metal parts, stamped out in
quantities, is successful.
