Estate control of the marketing of
our chief products is not considered a
radical, policy in Australia" said Mr..
Theodore. "Under the war powers
conferred by our states upon the COM
monwealth government at the begin
ming of the war, the government was
able to take over the wheat crop, the
wool clip and the minerals, and to
handle our entire dairy output. These
war powers will lapse in short time.
We shall then have to make some new
arrangement between the states and
the commonwealth in order to keep our
marketing system intact. But for five
years we have handled these products
as a national matter.

ment paid Denmark considerably
more for their supply, which England
was obliged to have"
With Australia's great wool clip it
was the same way-.the wool growers
delivered their clip at the railroad and
the government gave a receipt which
was paid Immediately upon the ap-
praisal of wool in the depots in the
chief markets in the island. The
growers are safeguarded in the grad
ing of the wool in these depots, since
the government is not interested in
making a profit from the transaction.
The wool is then sold abroad, on gov
ernment account, and shipped to the
foreign market.
"When we came into power in
Queensland" Mr.. Theodore said, tive
were ready with our plan for handling
the sugar crop. Most of Australia's
sugar supply is grown in our state.
There are AZ mills, each supplied by
the cane fields of that particular dis;
trict. Until we came in the farmers
had been obliged to accept whatever
prices the mills offered them for their
cane. And the workers on the planta-
tions-all Of them white men-were
controlled in their wages by that price.
And the mills themselves and the con-
sumers of sugar throughout Australia
were all at the mercy of the private
monopoly in the refining business
Colonial Sugar Refining company.
The refner set the price for raw sugar
and for refined sugar, thereby ,dictat-
= ing to producer and consumer and
fixing its own profit as it pleased.
SUGAR MIDDLEMEN !
ALL ELIMINATED 4
eve passed an act declaring raw
sugar the monopoly of the state. We
arranged to sell it to the common
wealth government at cost, and the
commonwealth government proceeded
to put the refneries on a basis of no
profits. They are allowed the interest
on their investment, and all reason
able operating costs, after which the
commonwealth distributed the refined
sugar at cost to the trade. For nearly
five years we have had sugar in Aus
tralia selling at retail at z cents
pound. --
"Our method of administering the
state monopoly of raw sugar was SIM
pie. We had wage arbitration boards,
representing the men employed, the
farmers and the public, to determine
the fair living wage to be paid the men
in the sugar industry. Then we had
fair-price boards representing the
farmers, the sugar mill owners and
the government, with technical ad-
visers, to determine the price to be
paid for cane at each mill. This in
volved the grading of the cane accord
ing to it's sugar content, with scale
of values above and below the normal.
There was surprisingly narrow mar
gin of difference in the price paid for
cane, through the season, as between
any two of the AZ mills. Four of these
mills are owned and operated by the
state. We were able to Judge what
was efficient operation of a mill, and
the price paid the millers for making
the raw sugar was based on normal
efficiency. Those that operated with

.GONPERS HOLDS CONTROL IN PAN-
 AMERICAN FEDERATION IF LABOR

Mir. Gompers grasped his cane and pounded vigorously on the table and threatened the immediate expulsion of the man from the room. The dis turber sat down and a moment later the meeting adjourned A small group of radicals were outside the door as Mir. Gompers~ passed out, but there was no demonstration.
 Chairman John P. Frey read the res- olution committee's report at the morn ing session Sections approving the work of the officers since the last con- vention and dealing with trades union expansion in South and Central Amer lea, the American Federation'S efforts for full self government for Santo Do- mingo and a suggestion for more active participation in Latin American labor in the various financial conferences were approved. A report on the Amer ican Federation's activity in prevent ing armed intervention in Mexico by the United States occasionod by eff forts alleged to have been made to that end by the predatory interests" was approved amid applause. On motion of a Dominican delegate, an amendment was adopted recommending that it is a principle of the American Federation to oppose with all its efforts threats of armed intervention by strong na- tions against weaker ones"
 When Chairman Frey read the rec ommendation dealing with the league of nations, Luis Morones, a Mexican delegate, asserted that, although as a member of the resolutions committee he approved the recommendation, he desired to declare that Mexican labor Is not inclined tb urge its government to seek admission to the league"
 This provoked a sharp conoquy among the Salvadorean Santo Domin- gan and Porto RIcan and Mexican del- egates as to the autonomy of the la bor movements in those several coun- tries. This was settled finally by Mir. Gompers who offered as an amend ment the sentence:
 We now pledge our aid to main tain the independence and autonomy of all American countries"
 The amendemtn satisfied the dele- gates and 1t was formally approved l after Chairman Frey had explained that the committee merely had rec l commended labor activity in the league ! of nations and in no sense made Ii mandatory upon the various constit- uents of the Pan-Americans thus to l act.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14.-Recom- mendation by the resolutions commit tee of the Pan-American Federation of Labor that organized labor in Latin America use every effort to obtain the admission of the respective govern ments into the league of nations, so that labor may have a voice in the de- Alterations of the labor conferences of that body, precipitated a sharp dis cussion in the labor conference here today.
 Nevertheless the committee's report was unanimously adopted.
 There was an equally animated dis cussion over the commYrtee's reports on the Argentine Federation of Labor's hostile attitude toward the Amer ican federation, which brought up the question of Latin American participa- ton in the meetings of the interna- tional trades unions.
 After charging the Pan-Americans had never been given a voice or vote in the Amsterdam trade conference, Samuel Gompers, the chairman, said he had urged that the Pan Americans be allowed to voice their opinions. His request, he added, had been denied by the convention, which said he spoke for American labor alone and not for Latin America
 Therefore" Mir. Gompers declared, ''the American Federation of Labor has not decided whether to affiliate with the Amsterdam bureau. who has re- versed the fundamental principle upon which the American federation Is founded, namely, self-expression and self-determination for every country The American Federation of Labor will do everything possible to guarantee to even the smallest labor movement In America the right of selfsexpres- sion."
 These remarks evoked the first ap- plause of the convention. MT. Gompers concluded his address with plea for unity and organization. We must try to agree upon the fundamental prin- cipals of right. justice and freedom. he said.
 These last few words formed the basis for the first verbal demonstra- ton by radicals. One man who had been active in distributing Commun- ist literature, shouted denunoiations upon congress for denying freedom. and when MT. Gompers warned him tc be silent he sat down, only to be sue
 dseded by a companion, who was equally vituperative.

CORK, Jan. 14.-The authorities att tach great importance to the result of the raid on the alleged chief arsenal of the Cork first brigade of the Re- publican army, of which the late Ter ence MacSwiney. lord mayor of Cork, was the commandant. according to the government officials
 Dublin dispatch Thursday said a woman crossing d field just outside Cork attracted the attention of the mill itary and that an investigation showed she had dropped a Lewis gun.
