New York. August 10-The local mar ket for raw sugar was quiet. and, as tEere is no demand. prices are entirely nominal. Recent sales have been at the equivalent of 14Ac for Cubas, cost and freight. equal to 15.25c for centrifugal and it is believed that sugars could be purchased at that level if desired and even lower, although with the den1aNd for refined disappointing refiners are showing little interest in the market at present. and it is hard to say at what price they would become interested
 The market for refined was dull and unchanged at 21c to z.s0c for fine gran ulated. These prices are entirely nom- inal. as most of the business Is from second hands and at prices much below these figures. It was said that some secondhand sranulafed was under negotiation today at 1sc. while yesters. day some business was put through at lS-50e f. o. b. refinery.
 Futures were easier early under scat fered liquidation, with December sell ing at 11.7oc or ss points net lower due to the continued weakness in the spot market. but in the afternoon there was a sharp rally. with December selling 8 points above the low level. or at 12.65c. on coverinS and buying by commission houses

GENERAL STRIKE
THREAT ISSUED

Startling Statement by Attorney
for Socialist AssembIymen
SAYS PARTY is ON TRIAL
Stands by Position of His Associates
in Great War and Attitude
Toward Government

Albany, March 3.-Denying the
right of the Assembly to oust the five
Socialist members ON the "flimsy"
charges made against them, Morris
Hillquit today in summing up the
case for the defendants declared the
Socialist party in the nation, not the
five office holders is on trial
Standing by the doctrines of his
party, he declared for the reputation
of all war bonds; justified the Socialist
opposition to the war, saying it would
take such stand again to pre-
vent ''unjustifiable slaughter" and in
sinuated that social revolution in the
sense of an industrial revolution alone
can free the people from capitalists
control. Justifying the general strike
as an emergency weapon, Mr.. Hillquit
made this startling statement inter-
preted in some quarters as an open
threat:
THE workers of this count Y have
the right to call general strike and
it is well that they should at least
hold it in allegiance as a possible in
strument in some cases, in very ex-
ceptioal emergencies. will say that
the general strike has been used

OCE AN FREIGHT

Shipping Board Retires from
Merchant Marine
ENTIRE FLEET RESTORED
Ships of Emergency Fleet Corporation
May Be Operated Under
Agency Contract

= Washington, March 3.-The Ship
ping Board has determined to cease
all Government operation of the
American Merchant Marine and to
turn over TO private operators on an
agency agreement the entire fleet of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation. At
the same time the board withdrew its
control over freight and passenger
rates, cancelling all OF the tariffs is-
sued, and leaving to the private oper-
ators full discretion as to rates to be
charged.
The changes were effective from
March though the policy of private
operation of the merchant fleet has
not yet been fully consumma ed
Technically, however. the Govern
ment released operation of its ocean
carriers at the same time the inland
transportation system was turned
back to private control.
The Government is still to retain
title to all of its ships, and the operat
ing policy is not in conflict with the
general policy being formulated by
Congress for re ention Of the fleet.
Under the form of agency contract
approved and in use individuals, COM
osnies or corporations can operate
the vessels on profit sharing plan.
The fleet corporation reserves the
right to terminate the agency at any
time, and the agent can terminate his
agreement on thirty days notice.

Coal Miners In Holland Engaged In
Wage Contest.

Brussels, March 3.-The strike of
coal miners in the Borinage district
was engineered by the Bolshevist com
mittee recently organized in Holland,
according to charges just made here.
The miners demand a wage advance
OF Is per cent, basing their demand on
the increased cost of bread. In well in
formed circles here the consensus is
that the money to carry on the rike
and the orders to leaders in charge Of
1t come directly from the Bolsheyist
committee in Holland, which is financ-
ed by Lenine and Trotzky in Moscow.
This commit ee, it was asserted, OBJ
tanned not on'y money but securities
and jewels, which they convert into
money, from the Soviet Government.
The strike of the coal miners in the
Borinage district has been vehement
ly condemned by the Coal Miners Syn
dicate, which adds color to the charge
that the walk out was engineered
and ordered by the agents of the Boil
sheviki.
The mine owners have refused to
grant the wage increase demanded by
the striking miners unless they OBJ
tain authorization to increase. The
price of coal correspondingly. The
Government has refused to grant

FIGHT FOR FINAL

'''''.' !; : "a Z. ;;.'ATY BEGINs
Supporters Determined to Pre-.
vent Senate Deadlock
CENTERING ON ARTICLE 10
Move Involves Leaders of Both Par.
ties but Few Have Hopes for
Success

Washington, March 3.-While the
treaty debate dragged on in the Senate
today without action the treaty
friends began a final determined effort
to rescue it from the deadlock toward
which all leaders agree again it is
headed.
Republican and Democratic senators
joined in the movement, but they were
only moderately hopeful of success.
Putting colatel al issues aside, they ad-
dressed their efforts to the Republi-
can reservation to Article 10. long the
storm-center of the whole treaty fight,
which the Republican leaders say they
cannot modify and which President
Wilson has said he cannot accept.
Some Compromise proponents pro-
fessed to see a possibility that an ac-
ceptable modification yet might be
formulated. Others believed that de-
spite assurances of Democratic leaders
enough Democrats to put through the
reservation as it stands might yet be
induced to quit the Presidents lead.
The confidence Of the treatyis ire
concilable opponents apparently was
not shaken and leaders OF the two par
ties maintained that ratification would
fail.
The subject technically before the
Senate all day was the Shantung reser-
yation, but it got only passing men
ton as the discussion rambled owe. the
whole battle ground OF the issues that
have been debated almost continuously
for more than a year. Among other
things the Adr attic question again was
brought in to the debate, while Senator
Reed (Dem) of Missouria enliyened
proceedings with a bitter attack on
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska the
Administration leader,
The course of President Wilson in
condemning the p. opposed Adriatic set
tlement was approved by Senator
Borah OF Idaho, who declared the Ex-
ecutive was right in asserting that
the United States could not join in
European settlements unless they were
to be based on new rule of justice
In international contracts. But the
Allies Adriatic proposal itself the
Senator argued, showed that the old
regime still ruled in European politics.
In a brief statement regarding his
amendment to the Shantung reserva-
tion, Senator Lodge said the pro-
posed modification which would elm
ate specific reference to Japan and
China would really make no differ
ence in the force Of the reservation.
Senator Lenroot told the Senate that
the Democrats had indicated in the
bipartisan conference that they
would support the reservation with
such change and declared the good
faith of that promise now would be
put to test
