Governor Seeks Buyer
For La. Sugar Production

New Orleans, La.-Governor John
NJ. Parker has asked the American
Sugar Refining Company to buy the
Louisiana sugar crop, which will total
about 275,O00 tons. He addressed a
letter to President Earl D. Babst under
date of October 7, and negotiations
have been under way ever since.
No definite agreement has been
reached, but a tentative proposition
for purchase has been made the plant
ers by the American, and its provisions
were discussed at conference of the
advisory board of the American Cane
Growers Association Saturday noon.
Some provisions were not acceptable
to the planters. A committee COM
posed of Dr. Roy o. Young OF Youngs-
Vile, chairman; J. c. La Bourgeois,
Frank Barker, Bishop Perkins OF New
Orleans and E. A. Pharr of Berwick
was appointed to meet John McFe-
fridge, local manager of the American
Sugar Refining Company, on Monday,
when negotiations will be resumed.
Governor Parker regards the sugar
situation in Louisiana as extremely
critical He fears a crisis is approach
ing. Many Of the planters still have
their crop of 1920 stored in ware
houses, unsold and unstable. Their
money is tied up.

THERE WILL BE NO
RAILROAD STRIKE
Union Leaders Vote to Recall
Strike Order After Con-
ference.

Chicago.-The rail strike scheduled
for Oct. 80 was averted Thursday
when leaders of the switchmen, train
men, conductors and engineers and
firemen at a joint meeting adopted
resolutions withdrawing authorization
Of a walkout and officials OF the rail-
road telegraphers' organization an
nounced they would take similar ac-
ton. These were the only unions
which have authorized strike.
The vote calling off the strike was
unanimous by organizations. w. u.
Lee, president Of the Brotherhood or
Railroad Trainmen, announced. The
official wording of the resolution
adopted was that the resolution be
declared now effective"
L. E. Shepperd, president OF the
Order of Railway Conductors, said
that the unions had decided to call
off the strike because of growing pub
lie opinion that the strike would be
against the labor board and conse-
quently the government and not
against the railroads.
This railroad propaganda found Its
way to the United States railroad
labor board. This governmental agency
told us that it would look on strike
rs against it and the government and
not against the roads and that the full
force of the government would be
brought to bear against us If we walk
ed out. Under such circumstances
there was nothing to do but annul our
orders for the Oct. 80 walkout."
The first announcement Of the ex-
ecutives' action was made by Mr.. Lee.
Rushing to the floor below the hotel
meeting room where dozens Of news
paper reporters were congregated, he
smilingly shouted:
"The strike is off, boys, but I've
only got one copy of the resolution and
I'll show that to you tomorrow"
All of the union men were smiling
as they came out and many of them
jocularly pushed and showed each 9th.
er down the stairs. To all queries,
most Of them merely replied:
Its all settled, see you tomorrow.
Union leaders said that the resolu'
tion adopted by the labor board an
nouncing that no further wage reduc'
tion petitions for any one group OF
employees would be considered until
rules and working conditions for that
group had been settled, was decidedly
instrumental" in bringing about the
action calling off the walkout"

ROADS TOCONTlNUE
MOVE FOR WAGE CUT
Union Chiefs Depending on
Labor Board to Stave
it Off.

Chicago. Railroad heads Friday
night declared the nations carriers
would 60 right ahead with their plans
to seek new wage cuts through rail-
road labor board hearings despite the
announcement from the unions that
their action in calling off the strike
scheduled for October 80, had been in
fluenced by the boards announcement
that pay reduction petitions for any
class would not be considered until
working conditions for that class had
been settled.
"The calling off of the strike will
have no effect on the plans announced
by the carriers October IA to seek i'm.
mediate wage reductions so that rates
could be reduced" said Samuel FELTON,,
president of the Chicago Great West
ern, and chairman Of the Association
of Railroad Executives.
Il don't know how long, under the
boards ruling. it will take to reach a
decision on any pay cut petition, but
these petitions undoubtedly will be
presented within very short time.
1t will be up to the board then to de-
eide what action should be taken.
Il want it made plain, however, that
we will seek these petitions in accord
ance with the law, posting notices of
cuts, then discussing the matter with
the employees, then. if no agreement Is
reached, appealing to the board to set
tie the dispute

WIFE RELAXES HER VIGIL
Leaves SickroOm for First
Time, While Tenor Hears the
Days News Read.

Enrico Caruso improved so rapidly
yesterday that at o'clock last night
his physicians yielded to his repeated
requests and allowed him to sit up in
bed. The chances of his recovery, it
was said at the Vanderbilt are re-
garded as excellent. though the fever
from the Inflammation of the pleura
still hangs on and his powers of resist-
ance have been greatly weakened by
the terrific struggle which he has put
up for nearly a week against what
seemed like certain death.
If Caruso continues to improve un-
til Tuesday he will be practically out
of DANGER. El:a case. the physicians
said. demands constant attention and
the most careful observation. Bruno
Zirato the singers secretary, gave out
the following at $3.50 o'clock last
night:
For the first time since his relapse
Mr.. Caruso sat up this evening, sup
ported by pillows and assisted by his
nurse and valet. He has been asking to
do this since morning and was pleased
when the physicians gave him perinis-
sion.
THE tone of the kilograms which we
have received to-day has changed from
anxiety to joy at the news that Mr..
Caruso Is on the road to recovery"
No Visitors Allowed.
The sick room was banked. with flow
ers last night With the news of
Caruso's Improvement there came a line
of messenger boys carrying. packs of
flowers. Absolute quiet has been pre-
scribed by the physicians. Nobody saw
Caruso yesterday except his wife and
children and his secretary. It probably
viii be many days before more visitors
are admitted.
The five physicians attending Caruso
issued the following bulletin at IL A NJ.
yesterday: "Mr. Caruso has continued to
Improve. Although his fever has not
subsided, his course is progressing in a
satisfactory manner"
The next consultation will be held at
80 o'clock this morning. ana unless
there is serious change for the worse
no bulletins will be issued in the mean
time. DR.. Francis J. Murray, house
physician of the Vanderbilt, and DR..
Antonio Stella were in attendance last
night
Caruso had his favorite breakfast yes
terday, consisting of eggs, toast and
coffee. For lunch he had small breast
OF chicken and some broth. There was
marked Improvement In his appetite
over the day before.
The brighter eyes. the better color
and the increased alertness were easily
noticeable to all who saw him. At one
time he asked the physicians TO allow
him TO sit up but they refused, ad-
vising him TO remain quiet because of
the wound in his side. This cavity has
been open since the operation of De-
cember 80, and, though it causes him
little pain now. still is an important
factor in his condition.
Caruso asked for newspapers again
but had TO content himself with listen
ing to a resume of the days news from
his secretary. lie appeared to be par
ticularly interested in the suspension
OF emigration from Italy. 1t was feared
that action Of the Italian Government
has prevented Caruso's brother, Gio-
vanni and his son. Rudolfo, from, maxi
