GIVES FACTOR IN FIXING
LOUISIANA SUGAR PRICE

The principal factor in fixing the
government prices of II and 18 cents
year was that the crop was half as
large as that of 1918. for which the
sugar equalization board fixed 8 cents
as a fair price. United States Dis
trict Attorney Mooney of Louisiana
today told tho House judiciary COM
mittee.
Chairman Hustled Of the committee
questioned this basis, declaring that
It seemingly permitted the net profit
of the short crop to be the same as
for normal yield. Mr.. Mooney.
however. answered that production
costs for 1919 were greater than
those of 1918. and that final govern
mont figures on the crop showed the
1919 yield was only 43 per cent as
large as that Of 1918.

railroad yard in the city was tied up

men and conductors who are mem
bars Of the recently organized Yard
mems Association.
Dissatisfaction with delay in taking
action on their demands for increased
nay was the reason given by Presi-

mems Association, local, for the re-
crudescenos of the strike, but 1t was
also said by the strikers that the re-
fusal Of the railroads to reinstate
yardmasters who would not do
switching duty during the first strike
and were discharged had much to do
with the present walkout.
The railroads were preparing today
to place emhargoes on freight in and
out OF the city. Passenger traffic, it
