Establishment of a Woman's Bureau in

for in a bill just passed by the House of
Representatives.

staff of assistants, clerks, stenogra-
pliers and field Investigators. 1t is pro-
posed to have the bureau make investi-
cations of matters pertaining to well
fare of women in the industries and
make public reports.
In urging passage of the bill Con-
gressman Campbell said the bureau had
actually been established in the sum-
mer of 1918 and maintained on war
emergency appropriations. 1t was now
desired TO give the bureau a perma-
nent status.

the industries of the country in the
future" said Congressman Campbell.
The war taught the women they can
perform useful labor in the industries,
There is now no question about the ne
cessity of providing for some regu-
latory measures for proper employment
of women.
Congressman (Uncle JOEY Cannon op-
posed the bill on the ground that the
bureau should be run one more year
on the temporary basis to see how it
turned out. and because he was op-
posed to continuing all the special war

as "a private citizen to a question
naire sent to candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination, by the national

Opposed Cummins Bill and Anti.

cepted Compromise.

Senator Fletcher will speak twice
tonight, once at w. o. w. hall at Z
o'clock and again at the Garden thea
tire at o'clock. The speech at the w.
o. w. Hall is being made at the urgent
request of several labor organizations

him and will explain his attitude on i'm
portant labor legislation. AT s o'clock
Senator Fletcher will make general
speech explaining his record and an
swering all the charges which have
been made against him.
The senator is looking fine. Talk
ing to the Journal last night. he said
world looked good to him. He appealed
in fine spirits and seemed to have full
confidence that he will be renominated.
Explaining his vote on the various
phases of the railroad legislation. Sem
ator Fletcher said he voted against
the anti-strike clause when 1T was
added to the Cummins bin in the Sem
ate and that he voted against the bill
itself.
In the meantime the Esch bill had
been prepared and passed by the House.
The Senate refused to accept 1t and
then a conference was called, mem
bers being appointed from the Senate
and House. This conference committee
finally compromised on what became
known as the Esch-Cummins confer
ence bill.
Under the rules a conference report
cannot be amended. 1t must be either
accepted or rejected. 1t was late in
February before the conference bill,
with the anti-strike clause stricken out,
was presented to the Senate. The pres
ident had given notice that the rail-
roads would be turned back March 1.
IT. was too late to pass a new bill. If
the roads were turned back without
some kind of legislation being passed
chaos would result. The conference bill
contained provision for an adjustment
board and was a partial attempt to
take care of the necessary adjustments.
For those reasons Senator Fletcher
voted for the bill, instead of voting to
reject it in order to add an amendment
to keep the roads under government
control for another two years.

SUGAR SCARS AS
BUCK IS. PASSED
Cuban Sugar Crop Sky High
Following u. S. Refusal to
Buy at Az Cents Pound.
LOSS ABOUT $500, 100000
Republicans Blame Wilson and
Democrats Hold Republican
Congress Responsible.
(By GEORGE 3. WATERS.)
NJ. G. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Washington, April 25.-Raw sugar
is selling at 1888 cents per pound on
board ship at Cuban ports, President
Menocal of that republic has informed
Senator McNary, head of a senate
committee, investigating sugar prices.
This is in contrast with the price
of 4 1-2 cents a pound at which the
entire Cuban crop of 1919 was offered
the sugar equalization board late last
summer, and a price of IA cents
at which it was offered in the fall
The tremendous increase in the
price of unrefined Cuban sugar fol-
lowed closely the action of Attorney
General Palmer in fixing a price of
II and Is cents per pound in Louisf-
ana.
"The failure of the sugar equaliza-
tion board. to buy the Cuban crop
means that the people have to pay
about 10 cents more than they would
have paid had the deal gone through.
1t will mean for the year an increase
in the sugar bill of 5000, ,ooe, 600, or 50
for every man, woman and child in
the United States .'s.,ss- ----.
Republicans blame President Will
son for not authorizing the sugar

crop. Democrats blame the Republi-
can Majority in congress for not en-
acting law continuing the sugar
board in time to justify the president
in authorizing the board to accept.
1t is significant, however. that after
Attorney General Palmer fixed a high
price for Louisiana sugar, there was
Immediately a great increase in the
importation of Cuban sugar to Louisi-
ana, where it was refined. For the
first three months of this year,
30o,0oo,0 900 was imported from Cuba
to Louisiana, against 230,000,000
pounds for the similar period in 1919.
an increase of 10000. .oe0 pounds. The
Louisiana growers, who have refin-
cries, increased their importations for
the period from 100000 pounds in
1919 to lac, 200, 900 in 1920, an increase
OF 140.000,000 pounds.
Federal Attorney General Henry
Mooney, New Orleans, said his office
kept track of this Cuban sugar and
that it was put on the market at the
established price for Cuban sugar.
But it is admitted at the attorney
generals office that after the sugars
are refined no one can tell which is
which.
