No Surprise Caused by
Report on Steel Strike
international Labor Conference Delegates Have Given
More Attention Than Anyone Else-Provisions of
the New Merchant Marine Bill
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November u.-(Special9
The report of the Senate committee on
labor which investigated the causes of
the steel strike for the avowed purpose
of bringing that strike to an end, found
that the causes were what the general
public knew them to be-the recogni-
ton by capital and labor that a fight
to the finish was unavoidable.
The report takes capital to task because
it refused to discuss differences with
representatives chosen by labor to repre-
sent It, The report takes labor to task
because at the request Of the President
it did not postpone the strike until after
the labor conference which then was to
be held October l.
Capital has accepted the responsibility
for not refusing to discuss differences
with an outside representative, and the
report in that respect contains nothing
new. Labor, pointing to the admittedly
dismal failure of the labor conference
beginning October 6, declares that it
would have awaited nothing had 1t post
poned the strike
The report declares that radicals, an
archists, "reds" l. w. WIS and others
of that fix have got firm foothold in
labor circles are striving to overthrow
conservative leaders, and are chiefly re-
sponsible for the agitation which resulted
in the strike. This feature of the report
is based on the fact that W. y. Foster.
steel strike organizer, is author of a
book advocating all the anarchistic teach
ings of the French syndicalist, and the
testimony of ]. Margolis, strikers attor-
ney, who boosted that he was an anarch-
list, and that his class wa sat the bottom
of the steel strike, and had much to do
with the strike of the miners.
The report did not create any unusual
attention in Washington. 1t did center
attention, however, on the attendants
on the international labor conference now
IN session. Those who are participating
give the appearance at any rate of for
eign anarchists, a term which Senator
Reed used in describing them.
These delegates are stopping at the most
fashionable hotels Of Washington, and

Washington, November 1l.-Expressions
of opposition in the House today to gov

publican members when debate of the

he received was repeated when others ut

The only suggestion of the transporta-
ton problem as a 1920 campaign issue
was raised by Representative Sims of
Tennessee, ranking democratic commit
teeman. While supporting the commit
tee plan, centering on the extension of
the authority of the interstate commerce
commission, Mr.. Sims reserved the right
to offer substitute later, proposing con-
tnuance of government control until the
end of 1921.

Mr.. J. S. Dawson, Division En-

Mr.. Dawson displays great interest
in the Powell road and is very
anxious that this county accept
Federal aid next year. Mr.. Daw-
son advised Judge Daniel that the
State aid coming to Powell this
year would be $1,000, $4,000 of
which will be paid over about De-
cember lst, and the rest some time
later. This is more than double
the amount ever before allotted to
Powell. One eleventh of this
amount is apportioned the county
on account of donated work on the
road leading to the Estill county
line by citizens living on that road.
This much will be spent on that
road, the citizens agreeing to spend
an additional like sum.

Another Hitch in Right-of-Way

Just as we think every otsticle
is out of the way in constructing
our road to the Clark county line,
the authorities strike some troub.
lie. In addition to a suit against
the county for gravel taken from
its own road IN the creek bed,
work is again held up on account
of right of. way along by II. l.
Borders house. The road at this
place Is too narrow, and in order
to keep the road in perfect shape
and width, 1t is necessary to take
about five feet Of Mr.. Borders
yard. While he has given the
right. Of way elsewhere on his
place, he wants one hundred dol
lars for what land is taken from
his yard. The county pays for no
right-of- way, and the people are
tired of paying over and over, it
seems. Ii is expected, however,
that this matter will soon be ad.
justed as Mr.. Bordars is such a
fair and reasonabl man and is
such a strong advocate of good
roads.

Sugar Substitute Has
Sanction Of Government

Malt sugar sirup is brand
new sweet whcih has arrived on
commercial scale at the psychol-
ogical moment to relieve the sug-
ar shortage, say the specialists
of the Bureau of Chemistry,
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, who have investigated
various substitutes for sugar. In
addition to being sweet, malt
sugar sirup has delicious flavor,
somewhat resembling that of
honey, which adds much to it's
palatability and value as a sugar
substitute.
While malt sugar has long been
known to chemists, its produc-
tion on a commercial scale is only
beginning. Two factors have
stimulated its production recent
ly. The shortage of sugar has
developed a market for it, and
the recent prohibition law has
made available both the raw ma
terial and the machinery needed
for its manufacture. Malt sugar
sirup is made from the same
grains as beer, and may be made
from corn or potatoes or any
plant containing starch. Barley,
which was used until recently in
the manufacture of beer, can be
used now to produce malt sugar
sirup.
Malt sugar sirup looks very
much like napel sirup. 1t can
be used for everything that cane
sugar is used for.
For cooking and baking pur-
poses and for making candy il is
not only equal but is superior for
some uses because il will not so
readily crystalline.
The wholesale pric is quoted
in recent advertisement in trade
papers and elsewhere is from z
100 cents per pound in barrel
lots.
Grocers can now obtain il and
no doubt will be glad to do so as
the demand for it increases.
Housewives can we'll conserve
their dwindling supply of sugar
by using it in cooking, baking,
and homemade confections, and
even on the table for sweetening
coffee, oatmeal and deserts. 1t
can be used for every purpose
for which sugar is used. II the
housewives want it, the grocer
will get it.
