WOULD. RAISE SUGAR RATE
Federal Attorney Hears Of Plans OF
Refiners, He Says.

Chicago. Sept. 22.-Prospects for a
permanent drop in the sugar market
now appear less promising than when
federal authorities. first began their
campaign to force down the price. of
sugar. United States District Attor-
ney Charles F. Clyne said, basing his
conclusions on rumors that, sugar re-
finers will demand IL. or 1l.9 cents a
pound for this years crop Of sugar,
fob. New York.
The district attorney characterized
the reported plansSof the sugar refners
as an outrage and said that every pos
'sible action would be taken to prevent
any such .exorbitant prices being
charged for the commodity, which
would sell for IA cents at retail it the
refners are not restrained from charg-
ing the reported prices. -

to advance their own interests at the
expense Of the people"
Democracy requires Of each man a
great respect for order, more unself-
ish consideration Of every mans rights
and advantage" asserts this new pam
lphlet under the heading ''The Needs of
the People" "Each citizen is respon-
sible for the conduct of the Govern
ment. He is part of the state, not
merely subject Of it. The Govern
ment is his. If it is bad it is his fault.
He has put power into the wrong
hands,"
"The first duty of every citizen is to
vote at every election" it is declared
in. chapter on 1.-The Citizens Part"
'He has no right to shirk this simple
duty No one has a right to complain
about how things are done if he fails
to vote. 1t is not fair play to the rest
of the people when any man does not
help to do the work which benefits all.
Every citizen should study public
-questions enough to vote wisely, and
he should take the time, above all
things, to learn about the men who are
to be voted for as public officers. He
should follow only those leaders who
are true to the peoples interest"
|, After sketching the rise Of democ-
racy in this country and the part taken
in it by various foreign leaders the
pamphlet says: '"The European strug-
gle for liberty is marked oftentimes
by terrible injustice, by disrespect for
law, by public disorder and public dis
aster. In its history injustice is often
trevenged by Injustice, not overcome
ky equality of opportunity. We see a
noteworthy and terrible example Of
license-not. liberty--in Russia today.
All these attempts are endeavors after
liberty and in that measure are praise
worthy. When they. grow to lawleSS
ness they must be condemned by every
lover Of democracy" *

primer will be printed and. distribute

Pittsburgh, Sept 22.--Cla she's be-
tween Pennsylvania state police and
crowds bent on holding labor mass
meetings in the Pittsburgh district
ushered in the strike in the iron and
stee! industry. The most serious dis
turbance occurred at North Clarion
20 miles from Pittsburgh. where the,
state troopers charged a crowd or
union men holding a mass meettng'
and broke it up. Resistance was Of
fered and it is charged by union lead
ers that the mounted policemen used
their clubs vigorously and injured a
number in the crowd. Nineteen per-
sons were arrested, some Of whom
were brought to the county Jail. The
meeting was broken up at the request
of Local authorities.
According to- eN. witnesses tho
meeting was proceeding quietly when
the state police broke il up. The
crowd scattered and some ran up
railroad embankment and threw stones
and other missiles at the troopers.
During the melee. several in the
crowd were struck on the head by the
policemen. it was said. AS far as can
be learned 10 enc aWas,s IlnAisS
I jured:: IS alleged that several shots
were fired by some one In the crowd.
Heads Are Silent.
New York Sept. 22-The usual
calm prevailed at the United States
Steel corporation headquarters here.
There was no indication Of uneasiness
over the fact that strike designed
to force suspension of operations in
the companys l45 plants in 20 states
was in effect.
Both Elbert II. Gary, chairman OF
the board of directors. and James H.
Farrell president of the corporation,
spent the day at their country homes.
Mr.. Gary issued no statement Of the
company's plans for combating the
strike Each subsidiary has been CIV
en- permission to meet the situation as
it's officers see fit. The only general
order which has been made public was
the letter from Mr Gary to the presi-
dents of the subsidiary companies d.
recting them not to yield on the prin-
ciple of the open shop"
Results of Call Awaited.
1t is not probable any comment Will
be made until the corporation learns
what percentage of it's 268,000 en-
ployes responds to the strike call.
These reports must come from plants
in Pennsylvania, Ohio. New Jersey.
Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois,
Indiana. Michigan, Connecticut, Ala
bama. California. Washington, Mis-
souri,. Kentucky. Kansas. Wisconsin,
Minnesota. West Virginia, Delaware.
New York and Ontario, Canada.
1t was estimated, that the number
of workers affected directly or indt-
rectly would aggregate half million.
