LEADING lAcos TOWARD 4 psrcr,cr

Lloyd George, whose friendliness to
labor organizations Is unquestioned
takes up the ylove throen down by the
general strike and accepts the chal-
lenge. II the strike were upon a aues-
ton Of wage and livelihood, he de-
clares, the government would assume
another attitude: but the fact that the
railroads are being run at q serious
loss by the government by reason Of
its attempts to keep the wage scale
approximately equal with living costs
and that the strike is not a wage strike
forces the British government to meet
1t with firm resistance.
The fact that the Fourth dipision has
been ordered from Camp Dodge to Fl
Sheridan brings the suggestion that
the soldiers are to be put On guard at
the steel plants. Perhaps that sug-
gestion Is oper suggested but the move
ment Of the troops does indicate that
no organized violence will be permitted
in the United States and plainly sug-
gests that riot and viouence will be
suppressed by federal forces. f..
We have looked on Russian nation
alization" as the ferment of an ignor-
ant and easily led people who, lacking
organized government and poise, be-
caa.sss the prey 81 bolshevist leadership.
But when naturalization becomes the
impelling motive OF strike in England
and threats Of naturalization, which
in fact is conwtscation on the Foster
and L w. W. system, are bodily made
In the United States, the thing comes
to our own doorsteps; for of all peo-
pies England and America nearest par
allel each other. Tho railway strike ia
England is the movement :or nation
alization" threatened here. Tbs threat
ened strike Of the miners in England
while camounaged as sympathy
strike, has precisely the same purpose
behind 1t as that Of the railroad strike.

ar crop and OF such domestic sugar a.
may be had can keep the price from
skyrocketing."
The sugar men at their meeting
passed a resolution indorsing the reso-
luton sent to the president in July.
1t follows!
Resolved. That In view OF the pros-
pective continued scarcity Of the sugar
supply. this conference recommends
that the United States sugar eQualisa-
ton board be continued In power with
authority to purchase the 1880 susss
crop making proper provision for the
protection Of domestic sugar and for
fixing a fair price to the ultimate
consumer.
Mr.. Rolapp said copy Of the reso-
luton, with the recommendation OF
the sugar equalization board that Its
provisions be complied with, would be
forwarded to the president. He added
that unless it was complied with he
would soon close his office as sugar
administrator, as there would be moth
ing for him to do.

ers were being regularly supplied with

Chicago, Sept. 2T-"F1fteen cent
SUGAR Is certain within few weeks
and rs cent sugar probable by spring
unless President Wilson at once auth
orizes the taking by tho United States
sugar equalization board of the entire
Cuban sugar crop and bring sufficient
pressure TO force the Cuban govern
ment to SGT maximum price and
make IL possible for the United States
to acquire the sugar. II already is al
most too late for such action to do
much good but the chances are tho
president will not act anyhow. He ig-
nored the request OF the sugar men OF
this country to do II July 10 last. He
probably Will ignore the request we
are making today thru the equalization
board. Tho people had better prepare
TO pay the price the Cuban sugar men
set"
This statement, made by a member
Of the Beet Sugar Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, which met yesterday in the
Congress hotel. was submitted to
Henry H. Rolapp, president of the as
ISOLATION and chairman of the sugar
distribution committee of the sugar
equalization body.
~ do not care to predict what the
president will or will not do, altho
I am inclined to believe he will take no
action" Mr.. Rolapp said. He has
been too busy with other matters.
Otherwise, / believe the statement
summarizes the situation exactly.
There is a world shortage OF sugar.
The Cuban sugar people have forced
their government to adopt a hands on
policy and are holding their product
for the highest price they can get.
''As things stand the United states
must bid against the world for nearly
$500, 900 tons Of sugar, half OF It's
yearly consumption. Also the domes-
tic supply-from Louisiana Porto
Rico, Hawaii. the western and coast
states with a small amount from the
PhiIippines--is far below normal. More
than $500 900 tons Of the present crop
will be used before the first OF the
year.

trolls only some 100000 tons now

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.
fort Dodge Messenger

a few months ago practically
everybody in this country was Tor
q league Of nations. There was a
big meeting held at one Of the
churches in Fort Dodge and reso-
buttons unanimously adopted en-
dorsing the league Of nations and
asking our senator's to vote for IL.
Webster City Freeman Journal.
In order to keep the record straight
it might be well to state that two
league meetings, both advertised as
Dig meetings, have been held In Fort
Dodge and that while there was a gooi
attendance at the first meeting, the at
tendance at the second big rally was,
by actual count, forty -four. including
men. women and children. Resolutions
were adopted unanimously by the
forty four expressing the approval OF
the county for the league pact In
general sense We believe these forty
four actually did represent the senu-
ment OF the county. 1t is our opinion
that the great majority Of the people
in the county then were in favor OF
"a league Of nations and that the sem
ttment hasn't changed.
that we shall not enter a league OF ma
tons in which Americas interests are
not guaranteed absolutely and without
question. The attitude Of the people
toward the Wilson pact changed when
il became known that there We're GER
tain parts Of the covenant which did
not guarantee American rights.
The issue in this fight Is not a league
Of nations. It's fight over the kino
OF league We are going to have The
Wilson covenant might work out 80
that the United States would have
equal rights and powers with other ma
tons, but there are reasons 10 believe
that as it Is now written 1t won't WORK
ont that way. What the people want
is a league in which there are no
cloudy sections and which, so far as
is humanity possible, they Will know
how it's going 10 work out

WHO'S TO BLAME7
FSioux City Journal

The price Of live hogs in the Cnlcaso
,,,ark.t has fallen from $685. per hum
dredweight about the middle Of July 10
around sI7 at this time. Approximately
the decline in the live animals Is ABOUT
"a ,er cent. If there is no fllegal prof.
teering the price of pork prooucts
should have declined by this time
about one-third from the middle OF
July quotations. On the contrary
there has been no perccptible fall IN
consumers prices. The people were
told some time ago that It would re-
ouire a week or ten days for the re-
ductioa in live animal prices TO as
close itself in the lowered prices to the
consumer. This proposition was log
teal because lower prices could not be
expected until the pork products Oh
live hogs purchased at the high Prices
had been sold
TWO months have gone by since the
end Of that week or ten-day PERIOD ana
the prices to the consumer REMAIN
practically the same. Slight reouc.
tons, found only by vast arrays VI
figures, do not meet the promises oi
lower prices. The pork bill OF the lam
ily for the week is as large now as II
was during the middle of July. VINO
is to blame for this condition? Is the
expected decrease in prices swallowed
I'D in some other form? Or are those
responsible for the fixing OF prices
taking advantage of the situation U
reap greater profits, the difference De-
tween the cost Of live hogs two months
ago and now, added 70 what pfoIit
they were making when the higher
price prevailed?
II retail dealers are consulted, thes
assert they are paying practically the
same price for their pork products they
were in July. II they are not. they are
profiteers. But somewhere between
them and the stock grower immense
profits are being realized a c'tter-
ence of 81 a hundredweight on hogs
which average $50 pounds In the rough
means $3.50 profits per hog above 'fre
profits Of mid July. With an average
run of 1000 hogs daily on the SIOUX
City market, this reduction in the price
OF the live animals would produce q
daily profit Of $4,000, or $4,2o0,o0o In
two months. And Sioux CITY II only
one OF the live stock markets OK tae
country. Allowing even for lower
era des and smaller animals, the pro-
fits lurking somewhere in the business
become staggering in their tmmensity'
