STOCK YARDS EMPLOYEES PLEAD
Proposed Wage, Raise Will Affect
20oJlQo Mon,

Chicago. Aug. 24.-Hearfng on the
petition Of more than 10000 stock
yards employees who are seeking an
increase in wages averaging about
81 day was begun yesterday before
federal Judge Samuel Alschuler. who
has been appointed arbitrator in the
controversy by President Wilson.
Nearly 200, ,0Nt employees will be af-
fected. About 10000 persons, en-
cities, have agreements with their
ployed in stockyards in eleven other
cities have agreements with their
employers whereby they will receive

sent evidence showing that the var

the wage award OF year ago, are
still getting less money than the men

another raise.

SUGAR DROPS S CENTS.
Wholesale Price in Chicago TumbIes
NAV Fall | ouor

"hoiesale HrIce IN Chicago Tumbies
May Fall Lower.
Chicago, Aug. 24.-Russell J. Poole,
secretary of the city council high
cost Of living committee, claimed
credit yesterday for an over Sunday
drop of approximately cents q
pound in wholesale sugar prices.
Mr.. Poole's prophecy that sugar
will be retailing for 10 or II cents
by Jan. 1, 1921, and his assertion
that sugar is very plentiful" and
likely to be more so this fall were
printed in last Saturdays newspa-
pers.
"On Friday B. H. Howelrs Son &
co. and the National Refining Com
pany, two nationally known sugar
firms were quoting granulated sugar
at S22, +. 0. b. New York." Mr..
Poole's statement says.
AT noon today word reached Chi
cago. and has been verified, that
these two firms have dropped their
price to $17.10 hundred. At the
same time the Macahen Company, a
big Philadelphia sugar company
dropped it's quotation to SIT.
This appears to be positive proof
that little exposure and a few facts
to the people was evidently the thing
needed to bring the price of sugar
down, and it is my judgment that this
tobogganing will continue, though one
must not forget that a great many
of our legitimate dealers here, and
wholesale grocers as well, who have
to, keep as much as thirty days sup
ply ahead OF the market, In order to
protect their customers, can not be
expected to make too much Of q de-
cline on their present stock and tc
take unreasonable losses

Germany Sending
Munitions and
Foods to Reds

London, Aug. 24.-Gemany has
shipped supplies and ammunition to
soviet Russia, According to cor
respondent Of the London Times, who
insists that Leon Trotzky, Russian
bolshevik minister of war and mar
ines. visited East Prussia IN spite of
official denials of reports to that eff
feet from Moscow.
The retreat of the bclshevik arm
les from the gates of Warsaw" de-
clares the correspondent, may be
explained by the fact that they lacked
ammunition. Trotzky foresaw the
need of the armies during the siege
OF Warsaw and made plans accord
nsly, but was too late FGe crossed in
to Germany and reached an agree
ment with. representatives of the
German government by which it
would supply the ammunition to the
bolsheviki. The second object of
Trotzky's visit to East Prussia was
to prevent munitions from reaching
Poland, and to accomplish this OBJ
1ect ne employed Germans at Danzig
to carry thru the munitions deal.
