Italian Wool Workers
Defeat One-Day Strike
Walk-Out Called to Protest the
Vote of Confidence in Presi-
dent Wood Fizzles
Special Dispatch 20 The Tribune


LAWRENCE, Mass, June Ito
days day strike, called by some en-
pioyees of the American Woolen Com
pany belonging to the Amalgamated
Textile Union as protest against
the showing of confidence in President
William M. Wood made by other en-
ployees on Friday last, fzzled. There
was no strike, not even for the day
The defeat Of the plan is largely cred
ted to the Italian members Of the
union.
Noting that Lawrence, for the first
time since the war. has a surplus Of
mill labor, they decided it was no
time for striking. Without their CO.
operation there could be no ANAL
gamated walkout
The effect of the failure tends to
strengthen President Wood and the
company officials with their employees
and weaken the power of the Anal
gamated Textile Workers over their
m bers among the mill hands. The
tizzle is blackeye for the Anal
gamated and boost for the American
Federation of Labor, whose members
took such a large part in the Friday
testimonial to President Wood.

Hoover Sought
Action in 1919
Sugar Crisis
Copy of Cablegram From
Food Commissioner for
Transmittal to Wilson Is
Introduced in the House
Observation-Disclosures
Says Warming, Reinforced
by Similar One From the
Board. Was Unheeded

WASHINGTON, June Copy of a
cablegram sent from Paris July 23,
1919, by Herbert Hoover to Julius II.
Barnes, president of the United States
Grain Corporation, for transmittal to
President Wilson declaring that de
termination Of the sugar policies re-
quires immediate consideration" was
made public in the House to-day by
Repre- sentative Tinkham, Republican,
Massachusetts,.
The cablegram was read by Mr. Tink-
ham in the course of speech in which
he charged that responsibility for the
high price of sugar was placed
squarely on the shoulders of President
Wilson," The Massachusetts, repre-
sentative declared that the President
could relieve the situation even now by
following Mr.. Hoover's advice and ra-
tioning non-essential consumers.
Mr. Hoover said in his message to
Mr.. Rarnes that it was necessary to
take important decisions as to sugar
control in this country in order to an
ticipate the marketing of new beet
harvest and to settle the policy with
Cuba for the next year.
Two Courses Open
amy continuation of control will re-
quire action by Congress" Mr.. Hoover
said, "and it must embrace appropria-
tions, the continuation of power and
embargo, control of speculation, profit
eerng and distribution. The only
alternative is for the sugar board to
announce its cessation of control prior
to the marketing season of domestic
beet and cane sugars"
Referring to his recommendation in
1918 for purchase of the Cuban crop,
jointly with the Allies, which was done,
Mr.. Hoover said, at the time his cable
gram was sent, the United States was
the only large nation possessing
liberal supplies for the entire year and
at a saving of four cents a pound under
the world price"
With his statement that conditions
required Immediate liberation, Mr.
Hoover suggested that Mr.. Barnes
request Professor Taussig, Mr.. Ia
briskie and other members OF the sugar
equalization board to present you their
recommendation in the matter indie
pcndcl OF myself"
In the event they should decide to
propose to Congress that control be
continued, Mr.. Hoover urged that
chairman be named in his place.

 In a message to the Churches of the country William Howard Taft said: ''He would be a pessimist in deed who concluded that the lessons of war and the spirit engendered hy it did not furnish an opportunity for the church and a foundation upon which to build. In the war we faced God. We approached the judgment seat. We came to realize that noth- ing was good but service. There has been a natural reaction but the lesson gave the church a new base upon which to construct it's power" There 7, is the whole thing in a nutshell. Serv- ice-nothing Is good but that. Some one has said you cannot get any more

 seem that you cannot get any more out of a community than you put into it so let us play and sing together that we may erect a solid wall againf

In the chorus of this production were a hundred war workers repre- senting every State in the Union. The production was given great praise by the critics. Society and official life went to see the community singers and came away to sing. their praises. Since that Carmen has been put on
 and hundreds of singers have come
 out of hiding to try their voices. Arnold volpe and Eduoard Albion pro- duced the Faust and both agreed that they never had found such earn est response from people who had
