SUGAR HOARDERS BUSY

New York - Evidence that food
profiteers have entered into a con-
spiracy to hoard sugar preparatory
to raising prices at least cents a
pound was obtained by Deputy Com
missioner of Markets O'Malley, who
said that he has discovered that
brokers controlling the sugar market
have entered into a boarding combine
while he was investigating dealings
in army supplies.
The official declared that although
the government recently released st.
100000 pounds Of sugar for public
purchase in an effort to relieve the
Sugar shortage, it is impossible to buy
sugar in large quantities at almost
any price. He said, it was intimated
that some of the governments sugar
has fallen into the hands of the prof
iteers.

Germ made this statement to the

"The Hamilton-Beach strike is set
tied and you can add that the strikers
won a complete victory. We granted
every one Of their demands and from
now on we are going to be the best
cooperative plant in America. We
are simply going to play the game
with labor"
Utica, N. Y.-The Savage Arms

OHIO'S NEW CONTAINER LAW

The peresent General Assembly Of
Ohio has passed standard container
law establishing the number, cubic
contents and dimensions Of Climax
baskets, small fruit baskets, hampers,
and round stave baskets for fruits
and vegetables permitted to be manu-
factured, offered for sale or used in
the State of Ohio, on and after the
first of November, 1920.
At the present time a great variety
of sizes of all kind Of packages are to
be found upon the market, adding
much expense to the original cost of
packing and much confusion upon the
part of the producer as to just which
package will find the most ready sale
in the market. In addition this multi
plicity of sizes has been extensively
utilized by dealers for the purpose of
deceiving the customer in making
purchase in the retail market. By
limiting the number of packages to
those meeting the needs of the trade
and with the difference in sizes suffi-
GENTLY great to avoid any possibility
of deception the prices of containers
should be materially reduced and bet
ter values realized by the buying
public.

WOLL REPLIES
"STAND PAT" THEORY NO PART
OF THE A. F. OF L.
Organized Labor Has No Use For In
stitutiOn Not Serving Best Inter
ests of the PeOple-COurts
Usurp Guaranteed Rights

Washington-Writing in the Amer
lean Federationist, Matthew Woll,
acting editor in the absence of Presi-
dent Gompers, laughs at the claim
that the A. F. of L. is "stand-pat"
organization. He says "the American
Federation Of Labor lays no claim to
being conservative organization"
Eastern newspapers express sorrow
at thes action of the~last A. F. Of l..
convention to denounce injunction
judges, and one editor declares that
"the American Federation of Labor
failed to display its usual good sense
and conservatism" To this statement
Mr.. Woll says:
at is for the defenders of the
profiteers and plunderers and for
those who are in need of all the ma
chinery of reaction in their struggle
against progress to build for them
selves records of consistent conserva-
tism. Labor has no use for any in
stltution or arrangement which does
not serve the best interests Of all the
people. 1t regards all institutions as
having value only in so far as they
serve the actual needs of the people.
"When it comes to ridding the coun-
try Of institutions that no longer
serve this purpose there is no con-
| servatism to be found in the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. The Ameri-
can labor movement is a sternly
radical movement and is the more
radical by reason of the constructive
character of its radicalism.
"Organized labor knows the injunc-
ton as an instrument in the hands Of
reactionaries and bourbons to crush
the hope and ambition and struggle
Of the wage earners for a brighter
day and better life. The injunction
| loses all character as a proceeding
in equity when it is used as an in
strument for the suppression of con-
stitutional rights.
Labor firmly believes that the
courts usurp certain powers which
come into direct conflict with certain
rights definitely and specifically guar
anteed by the constitution of the
| United States and it admits that no
institution and no set of men the
right to abrogate any section or pro-
vision contained in the document"

MORRISON ON SIMS BILL

Washington-"The people must de-
eide between service and profits in
the settlement of the railroad ques-
tion," said Frank Morrison, secretary
of the A. F. of L., in urging the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce to favor the Sims bill
which embodies the railroad en-
ployes' solution of the railroad
problem.
"In all discussions of this question:"
said the trade unionist, at would be
we'll to bear in mind that quasi-public
corporations are created for service
and not for profit. A long line of
decisions, from the Supreme Court of
the United States down, have invar-
IDLY held that the fundamental pur-
pose Of these corporations is to serve
the public and thai they are only en-
titled to fair remuneration.
Hardly any one will deny that
under private management the rail
roads have been financial footballs
and that they have been directed by
interests whose wreckage of numer-
Gus railroad systems is common
knowledge. This wreckage has been
accompanied by debauching of
legislatures and other political actt-
vity that tested democratic institu-
tions.
"The times call for new arrange
ments in the management of prop
critics that are only made possible by
the public's consent.
"The passage of the Sims bill will
re-establish the theory that railroads
should be operated for public service
rather than for private profit"

H. C.L. CAUSES UNREST

Chicago-The high cost of living
is responsible for industrial unrest
and domestic suffering, reports a
commission appointed by Mayor
Thompson to investigate local condi-
tions. An appeal for relief has been
forwarded to the Illinois delegation
in congress.
1t is significant that the causes for
high costs do not include "high"
wages. In the judgment Of the COM
mission, the causes are: Expectation
Of food to Europe in excess of domes-
tic surplus; profteering by specula-
tors; hoarders who withdraw. food
from consumption during the produc-
ing season in excess of normal re-
quirements and later throw it on the
market at exorbitant prices; resales
within the same trade during inter
state commerce.; fictitious sales to
enhance prices; wasteful practices by
common carriers during transporta-
ton; illegal mOnOpolistic combina-
tions.
Another investigation is being con-
Quoted by the Anti Profteering
league, whose chairman, Mrs. VIM.
C. Keogh, said:
II know the working people, l
know the conditions under which they
struggle. | am satisfied from our
investigation there would have been
no strikes in Chicago had the cost of
living kept within the bounds of rea-
son. The working people have been
forced to demand more wages and
the pitiful part about it is that few
weeks after their wages have been
increased the cost of living is boosted
and they are no better off than they
were before"

PRAISE VS.. PORK CHOPS

Cleveland, Ohio-Editor Cease of
the Railroad Trainman, official maga-
zine of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, declares that railroad en-
ployes are willing to trade words of
praise received during the war for
pork chops. He says:
eve have had our fill of generali-
ties and kind words of what mighty
factor we were in winning the war.
They pay for no pork chops. And,
besides, we have suspicion that they
are all true. What we want now Is
time and one-half for overtime and
wage that will let US earn enough
in six eight-hour days to live we'll and
comfortably for seven 24-hour days.
