vented because Of labor troubles which
have not been settled, and this man who

sary alarm on the part OF consumers
who, upon reading newspaper accounts
Npf an impending shortage, immediately
began to stock their homes with ais
much sugar as they could purchase.
Many people, he stated, have a supply
OF sugar that Is ample for several weeks
and some have enough on hand TO last

merchant would sell has used UP the
