That Rumania Evacuate
Budapest and Name Mem
Der of Inter-Allied Board
TO MAKE ESTIMATE
OF RUMANIA'S LOOT
Rumania Heretofore Has
Taken Advantage of AL
lies Lack of Unity

Paris, Nov. 3-The supreme council
to-day decided to send another note to
Rumania reiterating the request made
of her in the notes delivered on Oct
IL by the American, British and French
governments but not delivered by any
representative of the Italian govern
ment. 1t has developed that as the re-
suit of the failure of Italy to present
the note at Bucharest the Rumanian
government failed to reply, saying il
did not understand that all the great
powers coneurred in the note.
The Italian delegation in Paris has
expressed surprise that the note has
not been dehevered, but the explana-
tions have not been clear to the SUI
preme council, which viii resubmit the
note with the request that an imme-
diate reply be made.
The note asks Rumania to evacuate
Budapest, states that she will not be
given additional territorial concessions,
and requests that she name a member
of the inter allied commission which
will pass upon the amount Of supplies
taken from Hungary by the Ruma-
mans.
Lack of cooperation among the al
lies in dealing with Rumania IS re-
garded by many of the delegates to the
peace conference as responsible for Ru-
mania s defiant attitude and it has been
made clear by several of the delegations
that the great powers must all coop
crate in this situation or go on record
within a few days are being opposed to
bringing Ruma6ia to terms

Washington, d. G., Nov 3.The bill
proposing continuation of federal con.
troll over sugar during 1920 was re.
ported to-day to the Senate and placed
on the calendar with view to early

agricultural sub b-committee which in
vestigated the sugar shortage, declared
"a serious situation will ensue" if the
sugar equalization boards control over
sugar is discontinued
Minority views, presented by Senator
Ransdell, Democrat, Louisiana, ex-
pressed agreement in the plan to con
tinue the sugar board, with authority
for its purchase OF Cuban sugar, but
opposed giving the board power to buy
and sell domestic sugar as an unwar-
anted interference with natural eco.
nomic laws and as likely TO unduly de-
press prices of Louisiana and other do
mestic sugar
Senator McNary's report suggested
that present conditions we're largely
psychological, due to fears Of future
shortages.
Data in the hands Of the committee
the report stated, showed that about
100000 tons of Cuban and domestic
sugar was available for distribution
until Jan. !, which should meet the
needs of the country The world short
age OF sugar was estimated at two
billion tons over the pre.war average

BUT LAW MUST BE
ENFORCED DURING
THE MEANTIME
And Combinations to Stop
Production Cannot Be
Tolerated, He Declared,
in Replying to Protest
Against the Strike In
junction Secured Last
Friday.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 3.-Attorney
General Palmer to-day informed coal
miners who protested against the strike
iniuction that the government stood
ready ito do everything in its power to
facilitate an inquiry into the merits OF
the controversy but in the meantime
the law must be enforced and combi-
nations to stop production cannot be
tolerated
Mr.. Palmer's statement, made in re-
ply to a telegram from the union local
at Glencoe, O., to President Wilson, was
taken to indicate that no attempt
would be made by the government to
settle the wage controversy until the
strike was called off.
Gompers Reported to Have Plan.
Labor officials declined to-day to dis
cuss reports that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
OF Labor. had suggested way Of set
Ting the coal strike.
Mr.. Gompers is in New York, and
in his absence, officers of the fedora
tion said there was no one here to
speak for him In some labor circles,
however, there was more hopeful view
of the situation.
Reports were awaited by the govern
ment from its agents in the coal fields
who had been directed to telegraph i'm
mediately all facts bearing on the at
titude OF the striking miners and es-
pecially whether they showed a dispo-
sition to return to work. The depart
ment of justice was without early ad-
vices from district attorneys who had
closely.
At the White House to-day it was
said that President Wilson's offer for
arbitration of the strike still was open.
Meantime preparations for the setting
up of commission on industrial un-
rest as recommended by the public
group in the recent industrial confer
enee are going forward and the selec-
tion of the personnel is expected to be
completed by the cabinet tomorrow.
One of the first effects of the coal
strike has been the curtailment Of
passenger trains on some railroads Di-
rector General Hines has given region
al directors wide discretion in this mat
ter, as they are in a position to survey
the coal needs of their respective dis
tricts.
Freight service will not be disturbed
unless the coal shortage becomes Sc
rous. Officials believe that with the
stocks Of coal in transit together with
the thousands of tons stored at termi-
mails, it would not be necessary to cur
tail this service for several weeks
