TO PROBE HUGE
SUGAR PROFITS
Cuban Product Consigned to
Chicago at 91a Cents, 1t
Is Said.
ON WATCH FOB GOUGERs
Shipment Consists of About 100000
Pounds and is Billed to Packers
Gamers and Wholesalers,
Via Canada.

Chicago July 2.-Shipments of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds
of Cuban sugar by way of Canada,
which are now being received here,
were billed to packers, Gamers and
wholesalers at 8 and 972 cents
pound, according to the federal au-
thorities investigating, instead of the
prices of 26 and 261a cents pound,
which it was generally reported pre-
viousy that wholesalers and other
large users were paying. A sweeping
investigation has been promised by
the district attorneys office and other
federal officials.
The government investigators state
they have seen some Of the invoices
on which the consignees here are
charged the low prices of 8 and 91s
cents a pound. They announced they
will examine all invoices on the con-
signmentS, question the consighees,
watch the wholesalers and watch the
retail stores for evidences of prOfiteer-
ing in the sale of the sugar, and trace
the sugar to the shippers and question
them TO verify the prices, according
to one of the officials leading the In
vestigation.
Present sugar prices hover around
30 cents a pound retail In the agree
ment made about one month ago with
District Attorney Clyne, dealers are
obliged to limit their profits to or
IL cents per pound. If the Cuban
sugar now being received is costing 26
and 261s cents per pound wholesale,
as has been generally understood, it
should retail for 81 or 2715 cents a
pound. But if the charges of the gov
ernment investigators prove true, and
the wholesalers are paying only and
91a cents, the 27-cent retail price
would constitute fragrant profiteering,
federal officials said, and if the agree
ment with the district attorney is
lived up to, this sugar should sell for
1055 or II cents retail, according to
the federal authorities.
The fair price commission rules are
still in effect although there is no fair
price commissioner in Illinois at pres
ent, according to the federal authori-
ties and it is expected new commits
sioner will be appointed early next
month, after District Attorney Clyne
returns from the convention in San
Francisco.

TEUTONS SEEK
WAR LEVY CUT
Hay Waive Right to Army Of
100000 for Indemnity Re-
duction.
INTERNATIONAL LOAN TALKED
Matter to Be Referred to the Financial
Conference at Brussels on July
23-British to Protect the
Arab States.

Paris, July German delegates
at the Spa conference will not insist
upon the maintenance of an army Of
100000 men, according to the Echo de
Paris, which asserts the allies will be
asked to reconsider indemnity bonds.
The Spa meeting, therefore, will be
a mere formality, the newspaper says;
but. on the other hand, the financial
conference to be held in Brussels will
be most important, as it is possible
financial agreement will be reached
there.
The date for the financial confer
ence at Brussels has been fixed by the
council of the League Of Nations for
July %, it was announced here.
The results of the Spa conference
regarding the methods of reparations
payments to be made by Germany will
be previously made known to the
council of the league which will refer
them to the Brussels conference with
It's recommendations as to the fiota-
tion Of an international loan for the
regulation of exchange.
In letter to the president Of the
supreme council accompanying the no
LITIGATION of the date of the Brussels
conference, Leon Bourgeois, acting
for the council of the league. says
that body is strongly convinced that
the negotiations with view to re-
establishing the economic situation
and the finance of the world cannot
be pursued unless the obligations Of
Germany and her allies and the CEN
trial empires be clearly determined.
NJ Bourgeois adds that since the
league council proposes to consider
the financial situation Of the world,
1t will be necessary to invite the Ger
mans to participate in the Brussels
conference.
This is the first case in which the
council of the league has assumed an
important initiative in international
questions, and its action Is creating
considerable interest, particularly
since its recommendation that Ger
many's obligations be clearly deter
mined are taken as support for the
theory that the total amount of the
reparations should be fixed.
London, July No further state
ments relative to the interallied con-
ference held at Boulogne will be made
until after the allied-German meeting
at Spa, Premier Lloyd George declared
in the house of commons.
Asked as to conditions in Mesopo-
tamia, the premier said consideration
must be given to rights that existed
before the war and asserted the inter-
ests of Arab states must be safe
guarded.
Berlin, July 1.-Konstantin Fehr-
enbach, German chancellor, Foreign
Minister Simons and Finance Minister
Wirth will be Germany's representa-
tiyes at the allied-German conference
at Spa, it is reported.

The Bavarian government made this

Fierce battles with artillery ragged

BY E. r. cLIPsoN.

Notwithstanding the fact that he did
not get everything for which lie fought
and was not the completely dominant
figure which he so frequently has, been
in the past. William j. Bryan came
nearer being the headliner Of the Dem
ocratic show at San francisco than
anyone else. He did not succeed in
getting the resolutions committee to
frame platform plank indorsing the
eighteenth amendment and its accom-
panyiRg enforcement act, the Volstead
law, but he did prevent anything like
an expression favoring mitigation Of
those acts. With all the forces Of the
administration arrayed against him in
the matter Of the Versailles treaty and
League of Nations covenant it was to
be expected that the Bryan program
of opposition would fail, nevertheless
the administration did not come off
entirely victorious The plank as final
" framed provided for reservations to
the league more clearly defining Amer
ica's obligations to foreign countries,
and that could not have been entirely
satisfactory to the administration.
Bryan did not dominate the conven-
zion, write the platform nor name the
nominees, but he prevented the presi-
dent and also any other single force
from doing so. His position represent
ed one of those singular anomalies of
politics wherein he was forced to OPP
pose the man whom eight years before
he had compelled his party to accept.
Roosevelt, throwing emery onto the
bearings and hurting monkey wrenches
into the machine which he had helped
to build, was in similar position with
respect to the Endorsement and Sec
Ond nomination of William Howard
Taft. Under such circumstances
Bryan's influence was weakened just
as was Roosevelt's Considering the
powerful force of federal admin.stra-
ton, with its great army OF office hold
ers and other potent adjuncts, the
wonder,is that any man could affect it
in the least. Logically, Bryan should
have occupied seat away back in
the rear, but he did not The marvel
is that under the circumstances he
could make dint in party formations,
yet he did and he wrung from his OPP
pOnents the reluctant admission, the
old boy is wonder"
Bryan, who frequently fails to carry
his own state or district, who at home
is outgeneralled by men not in his
class, who wishes to go to the United
States senate from Nebraska but can
not command sufficient votes to place
him there, has peculiar power over
his party at large. 1t is no reflection
on that party, but rather hint of
things not understandable to the finite
mind in bulk, that he has a strange
ability to fathom and deal with mob
psychology.

Conditions more unfavorable than
at any time for several years face the
steel industry, due to the railway stu
alton. the lack of cars, raw material
and fue;, and shortage of labor. In
Pittsburgh there are said to be ]. 500
600 tons of fabricated steel needed in
building operations throughout the
country which cannot be moved for
lack of cars. A survey of the Calumet
region, in which are located the big
plants of Gary, East Chicago, Indiana
Harbor, Hammond and Whiting, show
operations conducted on day-to-day
basis so far as cars, coal and raw ma
terials are concerned. With every
mil stocked with orders calling for
full! production, the big plants are re-
ported operating at twO-thirds capacity
and the smaller ones at 30 to 70 per
cent. In the Calumet area it is said
that a shutdown to permit stocking up
is likely, with $4,000 men facing a
period of unemployment. But a
greater crisis threatens than an imme-
date shutdown, because the plants
are not building up their customary
autumn and winter supplies Of coal
and other materials and may be I'M
able to avoid enforced idleness next
winter The situation has been gath
ering since the railroads started to de-
teriorate after the blizzard of Janu-
airy, 1918. Then came the steel strike,
the coal strike and the switchmen's
strike last spring. The latter was
more of a blow to industry than pre-
yiously realized.

Taking the matter under further
consideration, he told the claimant that
he thought he would be able to put
through an award for greater
amount, but that, of course, he would
