STRIKE
ON SUGAR IS
RECOMMENDED

The sure way-and the only quick
way--to reform the sugar profiteer.
in the opinion of such men as Presi-
dent Harding, Herbert Hoover and
Smith Brookhart, is 70 quit buying
his gods, or if that is not possible, to
buy as little as may be.
Whether the soaring price of sugar
Is being engineered By the cane grow
er, the refiner, or some Of the middle
men who under the name Of broker
take toll from goods they never han
die or even see, may be determined
by governmental agencies at some fu-
ture time, but just now the canning
season approaches and the housewife
finds she is compelled to pay war
time prices for the sweet stuff that
has been produced in record quanti-
ties this year.
lit is practically admitted that
nothing will be done officially to stop
the profiteering-not at least for
several months, during which time the
profteers will be allowed to clean
up" millions of unearned dollars.
Then, maybe, they will be rebuked,
or fined a few dollars, and the way
left open to do the same thing again.
-Ed.1
But whoever is responsible for the
holdup that threatens TO become as
bad as it was three years ago when
sugar reached 30 cents a pound re-
tail, the way to make the gougers
sick of their undertaking, according
to many big men Of the nation who
know the ins and outs of the specu-
lative game, Is to cut down on sugar
consumption TO the lowest possible
minimum. A buyers strike carried
on consistently for very few weeks
would undoubtedly break the corner"
If not the cornerers-and that desired
end is surely worth little sacrifice
on the part of every citizen.
President Harding gives encourage
ment to the movement being conduct
I'd in various cities of the country to
boycott sugar In order to force down
the price.
For the people to reduce consump-
ton of sugar in order to affect the
price favorably to the consumer, a
White House spokesman said, was
wholly consistent and justifiable.
The government, the president
feels, cannot take any part in a boy
colt proceeding of this character in
any official way.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover be-
lieves that women who are organic
ing boycotts against the use of sugar
are on the right track.
"The way to control prices of food
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1923-05-18

commodities, said Secretary Hoover,
SIS to bring about the spontaneous
control of consumption"
No organized effort toward restrict
ing the use of sugar has been made
in the Twin Cities as. vet, but it is
probable that the Federation of Labor
at its next meeting will launch a
movement along that line, if not city
wide at least among local trades un-
ionists.
Governor Davis of Kansas an
nounces that he contemplates issuing
sugar strike" call to the women
of that state. Other movements
along this line have already been
launched in Chicago and various east
ern cities.
In ,supplementing Mayor Hyland's
action in telegraphing President
Harding an urgent request that he
publicly advocate restriction of the
use of sugar, New York's women
leaders of the buyers strike move
ment to force a drop in the price of
the commodity are discussing a pro-
posal that they request the govern
ment to name national sugar adj
ministrator and that the product be
rationed.

FAKE COOPERATIVE
STILL TRYING TO
BLUFF THE PUBLIC

Despite announcements BY its pub
lietiy agent in the newspapers Of ting
country that the Cooperative Society
of Amreiea is now pOerating on
strictly cooperative lines, this fake
cooperative outfit Is not yet eo-opera-
tive nor even democratieally con-
trolled, says the All American Co
operative Commission.
Changes in the control Of the or
ganization, forced through the pitiless
publicity of the All American Co
operative organizations against its
fraudulent claims, have not changed
the essential character of the organ
iZation. Harrison Parker, ring-lead-
er in this so-called "eo-operative"
outfit, has resigned, but the three
present trustees have the same abso-
lutte and self-perpetuating powers in
law as before. The announcement
that a complete and radical change"
has been made simply means that an
advisory body, indirectly chosen by
a portion of the members of the So
ciety, has been initiated by the trus-
tees, and that the principal voice in
the conduct of the society is no long
er Harrison Parker but Seymour
Stedman.
The society's former extensive mer-
camille enterprises have been aban-
doned. The chewing gum factory and
the pea cannery were disposed of
when the society's mail order house
failed. Its present holdings include
an interest in the City State Bank,
safe deposit vaults, the Peoples Life
Insurance Company, and two down.
town office buildings, all in Chicago.
The insurance company says ii has
large deal on combination group and
individual policies under way with
western labor organizations, the
names of which unions it withholds.
The All American Cooperative
Commission again warns the workers
of the country against the false claims
of this company. In no essential
feature does it conform to the funda-
mental principles of true co-opera-
ton. The usual feature of a genuine
cooperative, in which each member
has one vote in the control, regardless
of the amount of his investment, is
absent. Neither is there limitation
of the amount of return to be paid
on capital invested. Despite its lille
gitimate claim to the name of CO.
operative, the society still retains its
present name.

COMMENT AND

right out.

like it.
The only other problem is how
nobody else can get 'em.
1t is being said that battle royal
is on right now for control OF our
own mid-continent field. Standard

but it doesn't have to worry about

Coal barons are spending oceans
of money sending out booklets and
pamphlets containing latest spring
fiction. All this is intended to create
prejudice against the Miners Union.
Most people should know the mine
owners well enough by this time,
however, to avoid being fooled.
Mine owners always shout poverty
when wages are mentioned; but they
always have enough money to lavish
on primers ink when they think
they can put something over.
And for all this the consumer pays
the bill.
Mr.. Daugherty is after the sugar
profiteers. Such prosecutions of
these high-binders is commendable,
according to Mr.. Daugherty's friends.
But the sugar profiteers had got

Daugherty moved. Perhaps they had

is difficult to dig up any very warm
praise for the attorney general in
this case. Too much like a guy slip

swiped a week before.
Soviet propaganda coming out of
Russia indicates helter-skelter con-
dition, the end Of which no one can

the headquarters are in the same old
place and the game is the same old
game.
Lenine is either dead or too i'll

factory still operates at top speed,
but all the other mills grind slowly

WARD BAKING
TRUST OPERATES
ANTI-UNION

Chicago.--The Ward Baking COM
pany, with branches in several cities,
has refused to renew an agreement
with organized bakery workers, and
is attempting to operate on the anti
union basis.
This corporation is the largest
bread trust in America.
During the anti-union wave of 1921
the Ward company enforced Is per
cent wage reduction on its bakery
workers, although its financial report
showed there was no excuse for such
action.
In the spring of 1922 the company
attempted to destroy the eight-hour
day and reduce wages another 10 per
cent. That year the company paid
its usual s per cent dividend, with an
additional s per cent cash dividend
and 20 per cent stock dividend. Its
profits that year were $2,492, 1873, or
1915 per cent of its capitalization.
which includes material.
In view of this prosperity, the
bakery workers recently requested
that the 1921 wage reduction be with
drawn. The company's reply was an
anti-union declaration--that it will
not deal collectively with bakery
workers; that these employees must
henceforth meet the management as
individuals.
The fight against this anti-union
policy is being directed by the Bak-
cry and Confectionery Workers union
of America, an organization, that in
40 years has lifted the bakery worker
from cellar bake shops, long hours,
toilsome night work, low wages and
unsanitary work conditions. No trade
union can excel the record of this ag-
gressive organization, which is now
called upon to battle for its existence.
The issue involved affects the entire
trade union movement and organized
labor everywhere will support the
bakery workers.
