 HE FEARS ATTEMPT ID
 DO HIM BODILY HARM
Grand Lodge States Egan Has Succeeded Lavit As Agent, But Egan Denies Statement t-Canfield Rub Der Factory Closed To- day.

The strike situation today was en- livened by the allegation of Samuel Lavtt that he might be blackjacked in order to get him out of the way; e statement of E. c. Davison of the Grand Lodge that John Egan had been appointed agent to succeed Lavit and the denial of Eagan that he was temporary business agent; the refusal of the old committee of the Bryant Electric strikers to act any longer and the strike of $50 employees of the Garfield Rubber Go.
 F. c. Davison stated this morning that the Grand Lodge, I. A. of M, had approved of the selection of John Easan as temporary business agent of the Machinists' local and that Eagan was now the representative of the Machinfsts in this city.
 Eagan stated that he had not been appointed business agent and that there was no change in the situat ton since he had been asked by the ex- ecutfve committee at last Fridays meeting to assist Sam Lavit until the next meeting of the union, which will be held on Friday night

NINE LIQUOR DEALERS
 SURRENDER LICENSES: - aS3 3~ B" .a s@s
 CLOSE ARCADE BUFFET
Dealer Who Two Years Ago Was Offered $25,OOO For His Cafe on Main Street Among Those Who Turn in Permits to Commis- sioners.

James Stap1eton, who Is said to have been offered s25,000 two years ago for his cafe business at Main and Congress streets. is among the nine local liquor dealers who have sur rendered their licenses to the county commissioners. Another landmark which has passed out of the liquor business is the buffet in the Arcade conducted by Hall & Smethurst, who also have turned in their license.
 Other licenses already surrendered were owned by: John Fedor, 7O5 Hal lett street; Hotel Lorraine, 7s Chapel street; Mary E. Pratt, 137 Fairfield avenue; Joseph Frankel, 3SO Bost- wick avenue; Joseph Koon, 1S46 Main street; Napolitano Bros, 203 North Washington avenue; Mary E. Ell1s, 3S4 Bunnell street.
 These dealers are entitled to the re- turn of part of their license fee, pro- portionate to the time for which IL will not be used. There may be some delay before they receive this money, however. The County Commissioners must make a requisition on the City Treasurer, but they cannot do this un- til the Attorney General of the State sets a date after which it is illegal to sell liquor in this state. County Com missioner Ballard has written to the Attorney General asking for his ruling on this matter.
 The fact that only nine of the BIO retail dealers in this city have sur rendered their licenses indicates that they still hope a ruling by President Wilson will enable them to sell liquor for the balance of the license year, which ends December 1.
 Dealers in other parts of the county are just as optimistic for only three have turned in licenses. They are: Alex Feldman, Danbury; Frank New man, Miamus; James H. Hagerty, Greenwich.

High Cost of Living.
In speaking of the cost Of living IN
Montana, Mr.. SwindlehursL said:
There is no question hut that the
high cost of living is pressing heavily
on the wage working population There
are hundreds Of salaried people in Mon
tana whose salaries have remained prae-
tically stationary since 1914, and whose
families have to face new scale Of
living cost in 1919 with little or no
greater income than they received be-
fore the war. 1t is little wonder that
the wage Garner is disturbed when his
wages, taken as a whole, increased ap-
proximately 40 per cent while the in
crease in the cost of necessities is
slightly in excess of Sc per cent. In
addition he is constantly confronted with
the outstanding fact that sharp de-
cline by the manufacturer or producer
fails to bring any material reduction IN
the cost of necessities which he is con-
stantly compelled to buy. As illumin-
ating the situation it will be interesting
to know that hogs on Oct. 23, reached
S11, a drop Of S12.6O in two months.
When hogs were selling at S23.6O the
wholesale price Of ham was 81 cents
and when hogs sold at S11 the wholesale
price of ham was 20 cents. An ex-
PLANTATION Of these figures is not neces-
sary to show that some one is profiteer-
ing and indicating that there is pro-
longed and persistent profiteering."

Why Sweets
Attract
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

HE taste for sweets Is of an
intensity that requires ex-
PLANTATION, since IL is a human
characteristic that is not wholly
normal.
Science points out that sweets
were rare in the earlier ages of
mankind. Honey and the fruits pro-
vided only part of what our re-
mote forefathers could have profit
ably used. since they led lives of
great muscular activity and required
foods which, like sugar, could be
quickly converted into energy. Thus
sugar hunger was generated
which has been systematically ca
tered to through improved processes
OF cultivation. extraction and purif-
cation.
So our sugar supply became
