WASHINGTON, Aug 23--Sugar retail

market heavily glutted with stocks far
beyond the normal demand, 1t was an

day.

Intervention to stop a further slump in
prices, officials said no possible action
could be taken to relieve sugar dealers
who have overbought and now are losing
heavily.
Spectators and others caught in this
crash must bear the losses resulting
from their speculative activity" said As
sistant Attorney General John Crosby,
in charge of profiteering investigation.
Spectators who bought at a high
price expecting still higher prices to pre-

The department Of justice today ad-
vised consumers against boarding sugar
or attempts at overstocking at the pres

Those who buy sparingly to meet their
usual needs probably will be rewarded
later by the saving expected through low

FIRED BECAUSE
HE ASKED RAISES?
Women Protest Against Dis
missal of Carroll.

The education committee Of the Leagu
of Women Voters at its meeting today
IN the Chamber Of Commerce headquar-
ters, decided to call upon the board OF
school commissioners to give reasons for
the failure to re-employ Daniel Carroll
of the Arsenal Technical schools faculty.
The members of the committee felt
their entire investigation had pointed to
no reason for the dropping of Mr.. Car
roll except his activities in the campaign
for higher salaries.
In the discussion of the Tech" situa-
tion, members of the committee made
much of the fact that a large part of the
blame can be placed at the door of the
citizens Of the city, who have realized the
inadequacy of teachers salaries and have
not assisted in righting the wrong.
Regret was expressed that their OWL
organization had not assisted in secur-
ing the higher salaries, instead Of leav-
ing the campaign entirely to the Teach
ers' federation.
On the other hand. however, the pen
alizing Of the teachers. after the salary
matter had been adjusted, showed a lack
of cooperation between school authori-
ties and teaching staff which, the women
feel, needs to be righted.
A letter from f. L. Graf. superintend-
ent of the city schools. answering a num-
her of questions proposed by the educa-
ton committee. was read and discussed.
and a statement will be formulated in
the next few days on the information il
contained.
Miss Alma Sickler. president Of the
league. announced the addition to the
education committee of Mrs. George VI.
Bartlett.
Mrs. Bartlett will take Miss Sickler's
place on the committee.

representing the drain tile interests.
II. r. Curry, president of the Monon
railroad, was the first witness
In a long typewriter statement Mr..
Curry presented many figures relative TO
cost and difficulties encountered by rail-
road operation before. during and since
the war.
The statement also dealt with facts Of
railroad operation under federal control,
and outlined the reasons why the in
creased rates were necessary in intrastate
transportation.
prior TO the entry of the United States
into the world war this country had the
most economical and efficient transporta~
ton machine the world ever knew" said
Mr.. Curry.
He said that, under federal control
brought about by the necessity of con-
centrated shipping. 70 move war ma
terials, much freight was excluded from
transportation
The yearly wage of the average rail
way employe, Mr.. Curry said. IN 1917,
was $l.O04
In 1920 before the new rates werr
applied. the average earning was 81 .5S7,
and since that time he declared. it has
jumped to approximately $500.
Right here I wish to say there is
now not only d need for more revenue
for the railroads, but there also is
decided need for prompt action" said
Mr. Curry.
The railroads 20 back 20 private
ownership and control on Sept. I, and
in the next three to four months these
roads will establish the base for their
credit for operation during the first
year Of private contro;.
'All other matters. sGch as these pro-
tests entered here today. are beside the
question declared Mr. Curry.
If these increases are granted as the
railroads request, then the roads will
handle. in an appreclable way, all stu
attons now confronting them and the
public"
Mr.. Curry also told Of the dinicuI-
ties encountered by the carriers due to
the holding of cars by shippers, stating
that on the Monon one car in eleven Is
detained by shippers i've days or more
Bad orders also. he declared. increase
the difficulties of railroad operation.

DIPHTHERIA CASES
SHOW DECREASE
Only 3 Reported for Month of
August So Far.

Indianapolis has been freer Of cases of
aiphthexia during the present month than
an any August in the annals Of the health
department.
So far only three cases OF the malRdy
have been reported. the books of Elmer
johnson, chief clerk to the board Of
public health. show.
The total number of cases for the year.
80 far, is far less than the number for
the same period last year.
Untn the present date this year 115
cases have been reported, while 298 were
recorded in the corresponding time last
year.
Diphtheria has been on the downward
trend in indianapolis for a number of
years, having dropped as follows: 1917,
1850 cases; 1918, SS5 cases. and 1910, 43O
cases.
Health officials believe the fact that
rains have kept dust down most Of the
year and that many persons susceptible
to diphtheria were taken away by the
influenza epidemic. have something to do
with the fewer number of eases.

MINERS DEFY
ORDER TO GO
BACK TO WORK

tween the operators and the miners
officials at 10 a. m. Tuesday for the pur-
pose Of reaching an agreement upon the
demands OF the day men.
When President Stewart called upon
Mr.. Penna OF the operators associati m
10 request a joint conference for Tues
day. Penna asked the president Of the
miners how long the miners would obey
an agreement II II were entered into.
II do not know" Stewart answered.
It is thought the majority OF the day
men realize the Importance Of obeyins
the order 10 return 10 work.
The union officials realize the stu
alton confronting them II the rank and
tile refuse 70 obey instructions.
President Stewart as we'll as Vice
President Rainey is confident the Joint
conference OF Tuesday will result In a
satisfactory agreement being made re-
garding the compensation Of fthe day
men.
The miners, that Is. those who dig
coal, have no grievances In this con-
iroyersy. because the federal commits
sion gave them a satisfactory raise, but
the day men contend their percentage
raise was placed upon an unfair basis.
This ruling of the commission is held
directly responsible by Vice President
Rainey for the refusal OF the day men
to continue work.
Although the day men comprise only
about 80 per cent OF the 10000 miners IN
the state. yet refusal Of the day men
10 work results in a complete suspension
OF work in the mines.
Some OF the Important coal mining cen
tcrs where locals OF the United Nine
Workers are located are as follows
