STREET CAR MEN THREATEN TO
STRIKE ON DAY EXPOSE.
TON OPENS.
INSIST ON BACK PAY
WITH NEXT WORK CHECK
Railroad Strike Causing Serious Goa
ditions to Develop in State Capital
Sugar Supply Almost Exhausted
and Little Prospect Of Securing
More-Freight Congestion Acute.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug, 9--Iowa freight
movement paralyzed tractionless
Iowa state fair.
This is the gloomy prospect in Des
MONIES today. GROWN govt of the rail-
road tie-up and the determination OF
Des Moines street car men to get
500, 900 in back pay or st'ike.
Ben Wiley. business agent of the
carmen, announced today the day upon
which the carmen will strike If their
Isdernands are not met. II is Aug. 20
the day of the opening of the state
fair. Mr.. Wiley said he was sorry the
dates conceded, but that it couldn't be
helped.
c. w. Jones, general manager OF
the Rock Island road here, declared
that the state faces a complete teup
unless the railroad difficulties are set
| tied soon.
1.-THE Rock Island road is not hand
ling all the freight which is routed over
it's lines" said Mr.. Jones. I'VE don't
dpre start this freight especially the
perishible freight, because it would
spoil before it reached It's destination.
Unless the strikers go back to work
this week there will not be a pound of
sugar in Des Moines next week. All
freight shipments will start this week
unless the trouble is ended, and local
merchants tell me that sugar will be
unobtainable. Other commodities will
be almost as hard to set.
IF the men do not go back to work
soon the passenger service will have to
be curtailed. Our situation at Valley
Junction is acute. There we have Of
flee men and officials cleaning fireboXes
ana doing the things ordinarily done
by shopmen.'
And now as to the street car strike
TT is not out fault that the state fair
begins on the day we have determined
to strike" said Mr.. Wiley. The date
was picked because it is our next pay
day We don't want to tie up the lines
during fair week But the men can't
do without their daily pay any better
than Dcs Moines can do without street
car service -

Effort To Make
London The Sugar
Market of World

London, Aug. 25.-An effort is be-
ing made to make London ''the sugar
market Of Europe" in place of Ham
burg, Germany, which before the war
was the center of the trade, handling
vast quantities of home grown as well
as imported sugar. When the Bri-
tish blockade isolated Germany, Lon
don became the pivotal point and ex-
porters are doing all they can to
make the change permanent.
Every week large quantities of su-
gar reach here Of which only small
portion is taken by the Sugar Com
mission for home consumption. The
rest is re-exported. But for this fact
there would be no reason, experts say.
for sugar rationing in Britain.

poured down the avenue were $4,000

flower of the American army and
peers Of any soldiers in the world.
At the head of the five mile line
