SUGAR

EQUALIZATION Board Wants
Congress to Authorize Its
Purchase.

Sugar is being exported regularly
from the United States, but 1t is sugar
which is imported raw from Cuba and
sent abroad after being refined here.
The sugar equalization board, with
headquarters in New York, has asked
Congress for authority to purchase
tho Cuban crop and keep it for con-
sumption in the United States. but

Even though the employers group

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Unanimous agreement alone can
bring about the proclamation of any
principle or set Of principles as re-
flecting the attitude Of the industrial

That means the temporary defeat OF
the resolution presented by the labor
group for the appointment Of spe-

strike. But only temporary. For
while the committee of fifteen. COM
posed Of five persons from each of the
three groups representing capital,
labor and the public. have been un-
able to agree on what should De done
with this test resolution. q final vote
by each of the groups is not going to
be taken until the whole question is
threshed out in open conference with
all delegates present.
And the labor group stands ready
to point out that the hope OF estap.
fishing peace in the industrial world
rs very slim II the present conference
should decline to appoint committee
to investigate q specific situation.
Ready to Return to Work.
The steel workers, through their
representatives, apparently are ready
to go back to work Immediately upon
the appointment of a committee with
out being bound. of course. to stay at
work If they dislike the findings.
What has been proposed is re lily
postponement of the strike.
1t may be that the conference Will
refuse to take action, but 1t may be
also that the President of the United
states NAV take the action which the
labor group is asking-namely. the
appointment Of a committee to in
vestiKate the matter pending the out
come Of the Industrial peace confer
ence.
The executive authority has already
made such requests through the De-
partment Of Labor and with the ILL
ness of the President. Secretary Will

direction, the Poles turned all their
