STRIKE WARNS U. S.,
SAYS SPRECKELS
Intimates English Walkout
Is the Result of Food
Prices.

Claus a. Spreckels. president Of the
Federal Sugar Refining Company. just
returned from Europe. where he studied
conditions. said yesterday:
"The great English strike should be 2
warning to us here. The workers abroad
admit that wages should come down. but
they insist that food prices come down.
too
1T IS discouraging to return TO the
United States and find proposals that
viii add many millions to the nations
food bill. Most or these Increases, as
with sugar, are unnecessary and unwar-
ranted. The price of sugar is being at
tackled from two sides. each determined
TO raise it to benefit at the expense OF the
consumer. There is plenty Of sugar in
the world and the public should be en-
joying 1t at lower prices. Instead the
Cuban Sugar Finance Commission has
arbitrarily raised the price - cents a
pound.
ITO make things worse. Congress Is
considering an increased tariff on sugar.
ostensibly to protect the domestic sugar
need emergency tariff protection. They
have already sold their crop. The only
result Of the tariff will be another rise IN
sugar prices.
Germany is cutting down beet sugar
acreage; II will take the French industry
five year. to recover; Czecho-Slovakia is
exporting sugar
'1rhe taste for sugar. lost by many
Europeans during the war, has changed
markedly. 1t win be years before il re-
turns to pre-war degree. The consump-
tion Of sugar in England is down about
4 third Of what il was. In some coun-
tries on the Continent the percentage Is
even greater.
IF we want prices to come down in
the United oates. If we want orderly de-
hation and Il we want business back on
sound basis we must cut out all
thoughts of tariffs to benefit those who
do not need the help We must also put
a stop to any attempts at holding us up
by foreign countries on whom we are de-
pendent"

HARVESTER co. CUTS
PRICES 10 PER CENT.
Reduction in Price of Steel
Said to Be Reason.

CHICAGO. April 14.-Basing It's action
upon the recent reduction in steel prices
announced by the United States Steel
Corporation the International Harvester
Company announced to-day a straight 10
per cent reduction on products in which
steel is the principal raw material.
The reduction on steel came after our
years product had been provided for and
will have no bearing on the manufacture
ing cost of machines we sell this year" )"

ever. and serves as the basis of a price
to which our customers are entitled and
which we are willing 10 accept"

vesting machines. The company an
noinced reductions of from 10 TO 15 per
cent. in machines made principally of
