NEW YORK, May 25.-Testifying
yesterday before the Lusk committee,
which is investigating economic con-
ditions, Herbert Hoover declared that
the American people were paying 100
per cent more for sugar than they
would IL President Wilson had ac-
cepted the recommendation of the
sugar board to buy the Cuban crop.
Mr.. Hoover urged a return to dras-
tic war time restrictive legislation as
an Immediate remedy for high prices.
AS an alternative he suggested a re-
duction of credits to whip industry
into line. High prices were blamed
by Mr.. Hoover on the following
causes:
Shortage OF food in Europe.
limitation of currency due TO ex-
pansion OF credit facilities in non-es-
sential industries.
3-Profiteering and speculation.
4-Maladjustment of taxation. cs-
pecially as to excess profits.

World Looks With Horror on
Plans for Massacre, Says
Cable to England.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Resolutions
asserting that the mastery OF man
over man must end" and that the
world "looks with horror upon the
preparations being made for mas
sacre" in Ireland were scabled to Eng
land last night following a mass
meeting OF workers in Cooper Union.
The resolutions were addressed to
George Lansbury, in care OF the Lon
don Daily Herald. He was requested
to transmit them to the workers OF
England, Scotland and Wales through
the most appropriate channels.
A committee of five was appointed
to see that the resolutions were not
only cabled as passed, but delivered
to Lansbury. 1t was also decided
that. If the resolutions should "go
astray," a request should be present
ed to the state Department at Wash
ington demanding the reason and
the authority by which communica- =
tion between persons in this country
and England are prohibited"
Guilt Cannot he Shifted.
In part the resolution said;
Mastery or man over man must
end if the form of civilization which
we know is to be spared. "A welter
of blood and our common humanity
saved from the chaos of destruction.
Full responsibility of their crimes
must be accepted by peoples Of all
nations. Guilt can no longer be shift
cd to the shoulders of kings, doplo-
mats, politicians or the so-called rul.
ing classes.
I'VE, therefore, appeal to YOU as
brother workers to stop the killing
of men and women of Ireland. the
,ttf f~ao lni . Ia fr
homes, and the brutal attempt by the
naked sword to stamp out all vcstige
of their civil rights
1.-The world OF labor looks with eyes
of borrow upon the sinister prepara-
tions now being made for a supre eme
massacre in Ireland, as evidenced by
the. dispatch of msn, provisions and
all the horrible implements of murder
from England to that unarmed and
helpless country.
I'VE must wash our hands Of the
blood of these innocent people strug-
Cling for liberty.
Plea, exert Your Pover."
"In .the universal spirit of labor
nd in the name of our common hama n
rights. we ask you to exert your
mighty political force. as every ounce
Of your irresistible economic power,
to the end that the officials at present
by your win in control of Government
Immediately withdraw the army of
occupation from Ireland, and permits
its people to peacefully pursue their
lives under the form of government
which they have lawfully chosen,
through laws made by themselves apd
duly executed by their duly elected
officials" ..
The resolutions closed by saying
the appeal was sent from the hall
where Abraham Lincoln first spoke in
behalf of human freedom. They were
signed by Edward I. Hannah. presi-
dent, and Ernest Bohm, secretary of

kohn, chairman of tho American La
Dor Party; William A. Msher, gen.
eral manager of the Mates and Pilots

WATER E CASE TO
BE ARGU ED IN
COURT TUESDAY d
Ordered Before Supreme Court
for Further Argument on
Merits of Case ~:

The injunction suit pending in the
supreme court, brought by several
taxpayers to enjoin the company from
charging increased rates ordered by
the state railroad commission, has
been ordered up for further argument
Tuesday by the supreme court, and
attorneys are instructed to- be pre-
pared TO argue the merits OF the case.
Just what time the case will be
heard Tuesday is uncertain as there
are other cases ,on the calendar ahead
OF the water case.
Ii When the case was before the
court before attorneys for the water
company presented a motion to dis
miss for want of jurisdiction, and
this motion was argued, There is no
written statement of the courts ruling
on the motion, although the implica-
tion is that in ordering the case up
for argument on it's merits the court
has decided to accept jurisdiction.
1t is expected that questions as to
whether or not the railroad commits
sion possessed the right to order an
increase in rates when the, case was
before it on petition for revision OF
rates and whether or not the legal
steps necessary. to promulgate an or
der were observed, will be argued.
