NO AGREEMENT
IS REACHED ON
SUGAR PRICES
Senate Agricultural Committee
Fails to Make LeadWay-
Refiners and Producers Are
Opposed to MCNary Bill.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Efforts OF the
senate agricultural committee to af-
feet a fair price between sugar pro-
ducers and the United States sugar
equalization board have thus far failed,
Senator Ransdell. Louisiana, a member
OF the committee admitted today
Plantation owners in Louisiana told
the committee that because of exces-
sive rains less than a 90 per cent crop
would be raised this year and that
owing to the increased cost of pro-
duction the price of sugar would have
to be doubled IL the producers were
to break even.
Both producers and refiners opposed
the McNary bill which would renew
the license of the sugar equalization
board and regulate the price Of sugar
When asked to what they attribut-
ed the high price of sugar, members
of the Louisiana Sugar and Rice ex-
change declared that ''the president
was directly responsible" and that
he made a mistake when he refused
to permit the sugar board to buy the
Cuban CROP
c. A. Spreckcls predicted that if the
McNary bill was passed the people
1000, 900 more for their sugar this
year.
Brokers of New York control the
sugar of the United States, Spreckels
said, but assured the committee that
II the government would take its
hand off" the prices would go down.
Members of the sugar equalization
board returned TO New York last
night and Senator Ransdell announced
that another get together meeting
would be held Friday In an effort to
reconcile sugar prices and prevent q
recurrence OF last years nationwide

Washington, Oct. 22.--Coal miners
and operators today went into the sec
ond day of their conference here, ap-
parently as far Npart as ever on
wages and hours.
Despite surface indications that
neither side is willing to compromise,
Secretary Wilson and other officials
threatened for Nov. /, were encouraged
by two phases of the conference thus
far developed.
The first is that neither the miners
or operators have shown any real dis
position to bring about a break in the
negotiations. While both went into the
meeting yesterday declaring they
would not change their position and
indicating there was no hope of COM
promise, both have shown themselves
willing to talk things over.
The second encouraging phase is the
comparative silence of both miners
and operators leaders who two days ago
were issuing statements charging each
other with profiteering and contract
breaking. ssi'-stss w.. -sssatsA i7ssi- e "A
Secretary Wilson, who is presiding
at the meeting, has so far presented
no compromise program of his own.
Following adjournment of the con-
ference late yesterday operators met
at the headquarters of the national coal
association here to lay out a plan of
action for today's meeting.
