Texas Railroads Must
Reduce Rates on Sugar

Observation-Disclosures in Texas un-
der an interstate commerce commits.
sion order issued Friday will be re-
quired to reduce rates on sugar mor-
ing entirely within the State of Texas,
from refineries at Sugar Land, Texas.
The federal commission some time
ago held that the Texas State railroad
commission could not make rates with
in the State Of Texas which were low
er than interstate rates existing after
the rate increases after 1920. Sugar
was included in this ruling, but later,
according to the terms OF the order is
sued Friday, railroads voluntarily re-
duced their rates on sugar from Louis
lana and gulf coast refineries into Tex
as.
This later action of the railroads In
reducing the interstate rates, the COM
mission said Friday, made it necessary
that refineries at Sugar Land be given
opportunity to compete for State busi-
ness on a parity of rates with refin-
cries in other States and it conse-
quently withdrew the requirement of
the general order that sugar rates
within the State be increased.

COAL MEN TOSTART
CONFERENCE SERIES
Will Endeavor to Reach
Agreement Before Date
Set for Strike.

New York-The anthracite coal
mine owners and workers committee
of eight Saturday began to organize for
long series of deliberations in an ef-
fort to avert general strike by ami
cable settlement of their wages dis
agreements.
President John L. Lewis of the in
ternational organization of united min
ers and Samuel d. Warriner, chairman
of the operators policies committee,
both members of the committee of
eight, were optimistic. They express
ed doubt, however. that a new wage
scale could be drawn in time to pre-
vent suspension of mining operations
in the hard coal field on April 1.
The whole mining industry, from
the digging of the coal in the coliers
to the shipment, distribution and sale
to the consuming public, will be taken
into consideration in negotiating the
contract, it was said. The miners ex-
pressed determination to get down
to the bottom of costs and profits"
The owners were equally emphatic In
asserting that every angle of the in
dustry should be gone into.
Despite the great divergence of
views with which we begin negotia.
tions, l believe the committee intends
honestly to try to work out solution
of the wage problem in the anthracite
mines,' was the statement of Mr..
Lewis.
'The labor situation is constantly
changing" said Mr.. Warriner THE
cost of living is going down; there is
considerable unemployment. Higher
wages in the coal industry are impos.
sible at this time. The public would
have to pay the increase, and it is not
prepared to do so"
