Big SUGAR TRUST BILL PAID BY

CLAIM IS QUIETLY F0RG0TTEk

steel workers, with the involved and
technical claims Of the sugar inter

pion arose for the steel workers.
Insight into sugar trust character
is afforded because of war between
the beet sugar barons and the cane

but the Bethlehem workers can learn
something nevertheless.
Says the beet sugar trust OF the
cane sugar trust:
"The sinuous trail of inslncenty
and equivocation winds its Shiny way
through every sentence OF the renn-
ers' letter, and after splotching every
nave
"The refining exploiters have ut

"The rapacity of these Cuban pro
ducers," who have "fattened on high
prices" because of the Cuban aoil-
ity to bleed US"
Saws the cane sugar trust Of the
beet sugar trust: -,
at is a common thing to see little
tots with long sharp knives cutting
tons from beets, in many cases work
ing from 6 o'clock in the morning
until nearly dark, with only a short
stop for lunch.
"The beet sugar trust is ieyylng
a tariff of two cents a pound on the
sugar consumer and taking big prof.

large enough to build nine or ten rae

"The beet sugar trust is robblng

them fair pay for their beets.
These are the people who have SO SO
many champions in Congress to see
thar nothing shall interfere win

OF honest workmen for wages earned
under contract are allowed to sink IN
to oblivion. --.,x

That the Twin Cities are not alone
in seeing ia the immediate future a
,.ariod OF exceptional industrial aeuv-
~ especially in construction work,
: Indicated By the latest monthly re-
mar of the United States Employ
r,ent service. Not in five years has
tsis country's employment situation
bean so satisfactory, according to the
report. In spite OF seasonal unem-
nlayment which of course Is much
greater during the winter months,
,so,kers without jobs are becoming
fewer every day. In Illinois alone
90 900 more persons are at work than
this time last year.
With the opening of spring In the
Twin Cities a building boom will start
such as has not been witnessed here
in decade. The construction pro
eram includes an unusual number of
large structures-as well as the ney-
er-eeaSing erection Of dwelling houses
in every section of the city, which
promise full employment to the build
ing trades workers for an indefinite
period.
No Clouds on Prosperity Horizon.
Absence of any industrial turmoil
Of a national scope-save only and
executing the low efficiency of some
railroads due To the shopmen's strike
is proving a great spur to business.
No coal strike will affhct the nation
tols summer, hence factories feel safe
in laying plans for full-time operation
at capacity throughout the season.
Building trades crafts, at least In the
Twin Cities, are arriving at amicable
wage adjustments with their employ
ers, with the result that the prospee-
tive builder feels confident that his
lob will be completed with promptness
and efficiency. A rising market, al
ways a Stimulant to business, has pro-
duced an optimistic feeling in all in
dustres-and optimism means action,
and action means prosperity.
Wanted: Solution of Problem of
Labor Distribution
The geratest industrial problem
that now confronts this country is he
proper distribution of labor--to do
away with the wasteful condition
whereby one industry has an excess
Of workers and another shortage.
IL - lIliS S1ldeNiOIs biidh
general lack of workers, that causes
most Of the aoitation for the removal
Of immigration restrictions.
During the coming season indica-
tions are that the farmers will be
badly handicapped by lack of help.
Farm hands and farmers sons-even
the farmers themselves-who fiocked
to the cities during the world war
when factory employees commanded
plutocratic wages, have not all re-
turned to the country but remain n
the metropolis awaiting the resurrec-
ton of jobs that have died long ago.
These men comprise what Secretary
Davis says is an army of more than
a million "fioaters" who, if the way
can be found to put them where they
belong and are wanted, need float no
longer but can take their place in the
ranks Of the producers.

WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG
Remarkable Animals Roamed Plains
of What Is Now the Dominion
of Canada.

The high-browed psychologists
have been rigging up the skeletons Of
q mess of duck-billed dinosaurs In the
Calgary region in British Columbia.
The animals were planted before the
Rockies had even begun to sprout
The country was lushy plain. with
the animals and balmy climate Of the
tropics. 1t was not until the Rockies
had grown into good-sized hills that
the country became known for its
billiards. In the good old days the
duck-billed dinosaur was a hippo
potamus with the head Of a pelican
and the hind legs Of an ostrich. II he
didn't look so much like a crocodile
he might have been mistaken for an
elephant. He had three toes, but
could swim like a swan. A husky
dinosaur was likely to be some 30 or
40 feet over all and would tilt the
scales for 5000 to 10000 pounds. He
might use q Kodiak bear for a play
thing. In those days the fight fans
would have loved to see a mix-up be
tween a duck-billed dinosaur and one
of the saber-toothed tigers from the
La Brea pits. That would make bull
fighting seem like a handkerchief mir
tation. We ought to put In reQuisi-
ton for a goose-faced iguanodon to
add to our collection at Exposition
park. Maybe we can fix up a trade
with the Calgary folk and give them a
slightly damaged methatherium for
the venerable bones of a dinosaur.-
