Disagree ON some New Labor Rules

Railway arrangements generally have
failed to agree with their employees
on about 90 per cent. of the new
working rules to be substituted for
the national agreements to be abrogated
on July !. Before that date they look
for supplementary ruling from the
United States Railroad Labor Board
prescribing what course shall be pur-
sued as 70 overtime pay, pieceworlt.
working qualifications and other dis
ruted points after July, pending their
final adjudication by the board. If the
board fails to make the supplementary
ruling, railway managers will put into
effect conditions of their own making on
the disputed points. with the assurances
to the workers that the final settlement
by the board will be made retroactive
TO July !, OIL which date the new rules
which have been agreed to by direct
conference between the managers and
their men will go into effect.

Sugar Sales to England.

The American Sugar Refining Com
pany will send to England soon in one
of its steamers a cargo of sugar, for
which orders have been received The
raw sugar has been refined In this coun-
try under manufacturers bond, and it is
believed that it's sale In England, the
first to be made in several years, will
prove profitable. A great deal of sugar
was refined under the British Govern
ment's orders during the war, but the
present sale has been made under highly
competitive peace conditions at prices
which compare closely with the price
obtained in the United States for refined
sugar. The new departure in sales OF
refined sugar is being watched by bank
ers with considerable interest.

German Sales.

Andrew Fletcher, president of the

been unable to find time to see reporters
since his return from Europe, but he
expects to see them next week with an
interesting story. Bankers who have
talked with him are impressed with the
valuable information that he obtained
while abroad. A sidelight credited to
him was the statement that Germany
was underselling the American Locomo-
tive Company 40 per cent on certain of
its products. and at the same time Ger
man manufacturers were taking orders
on the basis of one year notes. With a
low price and ability to extend long
credit many orders are going to Germans
