MAY BRING RELIEF
IN SUGAR SHORTAGE
Several Carloads. Expected
%Today--No boarding
Found So Far.

The sugar shortage.which Washing
ton has been experiencing during the
last week will be materially relieved
today, when several carloads Of sugar
are. expected to arrive from northern
refineries.
The recent walkout Of railway en-
ployes and the resultant embargo on
freight Is directly responsible for the
present shortage of sugar. according
to Washington dealers. With the re-
sumption OF freight service on the
railroads the situation is expected to
clear up with a fair degree OF rapidity.
1t was learned today that motor
trucks are transporting sugar from
New York reineries to various sec
lions of the country where the sugar
famine is felt the keenest. The; dock
strike in New! York has contributed
materially to the shortage. it was
said. ana this. coupled with the recent
railway walkout,. has virtually placed
many cities on wartime sugar ra-
lions
No HeAralnG Found So Far.
Department OF, Justice investi gators
were busy today probing charges
resentative Knutson Of Minnesota
that there was plenty Of sugar being
boarded in the District. Thus far.
Department OF Justice officials de-
clared. there have been no instances
of sugar boarding unearthed. !.
ohcials secuted the report which
has been current for eome days to
the effect thAt the sugar refineries
are crammed to the rafters with
stored sugar. and that the sugar mag
mates are waiting for an opportunity
to release this sugar at an exorbitant
price. Omcials of the department said
their Investigations have shown that
the reflneries are just as much .'up in
the air. over the shortage as are the
dealers or the consuming public. They
summed up the situation In the SEN
tence. There Is little sugar any
where in the country. and that's all
there is to It."
1t was shown that the consumption
of sugar in the United States last
year was s5.43 pounds per capita. In
1918 the per capita consumption was
1886. The phenomenal increase is
said to be due to the lifting Of the
wartime sugar rationing.
