WARREN'SRECORD'
AS SUGAR TRUST
AGENT REVEALED
Acted AS Michigan Tool
of Havemeyer Interests

Federated Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. a.
President Coolidge's selection Of At
torney General Stone to be a member
of the federal supreme court struck a
snag which was mere trifle in COM
parlson with the rock of opposition
into which his nomination of Charles
Beecher Warren to head the depart
ment of justice has run, fulfill.
On the very day that the senate
committee on the Judiciary fought for
two hours over the noncommittal re-
port Of it's subcommittee on Warren's
selection, the federal trade commits
sion announced that the Michigan
Sugar Co. and the Toledo Sugar Co.,
with which he has been connected as
president for many years, were
charged with conspiracy, with sixteen
other concerns, to restrain interstate
commerce in beet pulp. This brings
up the whole story of Warren as a
sugar trust agent.
1t is shown that Warren was speci-
fically made one Of the defendants in
the suit of the government in 1910 to
dissolve the sugar trust; that the
American Sugar Refining Co., which
was the trust, at that time entered
into a consent decree in settlement
of this suit; that it was shown that
in 1902 Warren was employed by the
American Sugar Refining Co. and the
late H. o. Havemeyer to gain control
of the beet sugar industry in Michi-
gan, and that he formed the Michigan
Sugar Co. for this purpose, conceal
ing under his own name the owner
ship of So per cent of the preferred
and 35 per cent of the common stock
by the trust. Warren's own stock
was worth S455,OO0, when the Hard
wick investigation of the sugar com
bine took place in 1912.
Prosecution of the Havemeyer in
terests and Warren dragged thru the
| courts until the consent decree was
signed in New York on May 8, 1922.
Recently attempt was made to modi-
fly this decree, so that the National
Sugar Refining Co. of New Jersey
might be absorbed. Attorney Cen
eral Stone denied this request. If it
! is renewed, Warren as defendant
would face Warren as attorney gen
eraL Moreover, the complaint made
by the federal trade commission may
show violation of the consent decree
by the Michigan Sugar Co. of which
Warren was president until Jan. "a,
1925, and by the Toledo Sugar Co.,
of which he seems to be still the chief
executive.

SOLON'S PEACE
PLAN imp AL.ED ON
POINT OF ORDER
Twas Sad Fate for Such
a Worthy Measure
(5y Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON Feb. H. Abolish
CONSUMPTION, both of men and materi-
ais, directly and indirectly, and you
can have no more wars, says Sen.
Shipstead, farmer-labor. He offered
an amendment to the state depart
ment appropriation measure, calling
upon President Coolidge to propose to
all the nations of the world the MAX
ing of a convention binding all Of
them to terminate all compulsory
military, naval and related service"
within three years from ratification
of such treaty. His amendment did
not cover CONSUMPTION of money, such
as he had to be necessarily implied in
construction of human service. II
did, however, bind all the nations to
refrain from compelling their nation
ais to do any military service, either
in peace or war, and it pledged them
not to make war for the collection of
any public or private debt.
The measure was thrown out on a
point of order by Sen. Wesley Jones,
as not being relevant to an appropri-
alton for the state department, but
was new legislation.
'In universal military service"
Shipstead told the senate, lis the
foremost weakness of all our modern
political development. It turns the
entire population, at q moments no.
tice, and upon the decision of few
men, into slaves who may be slaugh-
tered or starved, or have colossal
indemnity wrung out Of their unhappy
children for so years. This country
is big and strong enough to lead the
way. Lead the world to national
freedom and peace thru treaty that
will strike the chains of militarisrn

Call Conference to
Discuss the Use of
Machinery on Land

WASHINGTON Feb. 12.-If Ameri-
can farm lands, pasture lands and
forests can be suitably adapted to the
needs of the future, this country can
support a population of 300,OO0,00O
persons. We shall see a population
of 150,000,000 here by the year 1852.
So says the special commission Of
scientists from the bureau of agricul-
tural economics and the forest serv-
ice, reporting to the department of
agriculture on the utilization of land.
But, the scientists add, the soil
must be used more carefully, and
greater effort must be employed both
in production and handling Of the food
supply, to avoid waste. German
standards of cultivation, before the
war, enabled that nation to maintain
one person for each LIS acres Of
land. America has 998,00O,0O0 acres,
good and poor, on which in the future
there may be fed one person for each
1888 acres. Meanwhile her farm pop
ulation is being depleted by economic
forces.

LABOR HISTORY
BY THURsER LEWIS 3

BY THURBER LEWIS
IndiuidualiSn.

XAIHILE the labor movement was
wv arising, step by step, out of the
struggles Of the working class in the
form of trade unions coming into ex-
istence in greater numbers as grow
ing industry pushed the frontier far
Their from the Atlantic sea-board-the
thought Of the movement continued to
be dominated by intellectual reformers
and humanitarians. Labor itself found
no component spokesman until after
the civil war, and these first spokes-
men we're Marxists.
Albert Brisbane, a reformer of
bourgeois origin, brought Fourierism
to America in the middle thirties.
Fourierism taught that social ills were
do to the pernicious effects OF free
competition. The remedy consisted in
reforming the capitalists and perfect
ing more effective methods of produc-
ton. It denied the class struggle.
The hope OF the world lay in convinc-
ing the capitalist TO improve industry
to the end Of greater profits and then
share the increased profits with the
workers.
Brisbane and his followers began by
trying to erect new and model civil
izations In the wiIdernesses to the
west. But the workingmen failed to
see the connection between utopias in
the woods and cut wages in Phila
delphia and New York. Fourierism
was total failure. Brisbane and Four
ierism brought Horace Greely's
thoughts to turn 10 social problems
Greely's early years were spent In
poverty. His proletarian origin led
him TO see things that Fourierlsm
overlooked. For Brisbane's "benev
olent association, he substituted, Let
each individual receive the full pro
duct Of his toll"
The abolition Of the wage system

was Greely's leading hope. Co-opera
ton and profit-sharing attracted his
attention for many years, as substan-
tial possibilities. But with the failue
of his efforts in these directions he
lost heart and deplored the working.
mems lack of faith in each other
The class struggle seemed to be a
closed book to him also. When the
abolitionist movement began he
throw himself into it and became a
leading champion of Negro liberation.
Apart from the followers of Owen
and Fourier who advocated associa-
ton and cooperation and whose con-
nection with the labor movement was
often intimate, there were individuals
in the pre-civil war period whose
radical systems of thought must GER
tainly have made an impression on the,
young labor movemnt. There was the
anarchist Thoreau, whose book "Wal-
dem, was called the last word OF
democratic individualism. There was
the intellectual individualist Emerson,

Seattle Machinists'
Union Contributes to
The Labor Defense

First among the letters this week,
came the encouraging one from the
Machinists Lodge, No. 20, of Seattle.
Wash, pledging support for the de-
Tense of the Michigan defendants and
against the criminal syndicalist laws.
With the pledge came $1,000 showing
that the machinists in Seattle are not
only alive to the necessity of moral
support but the absolute need of fin
ancial support as well.
Another encouraging letter comes
from st. Paul where some $225. 80
was left over from a defense fund
collected to defend Joe Ungar, taken
in the red raids and whose case has
been since dismissed. This money
comes in extremely handy at this time
as every cent available must be got
ten to continue the fight. Among the

From g. distance Of several miles It

mountain, It seems, was q shrine or

their way thither.
Today. however. q new procession
moves through the Shenandoah,
for Lord Fairfax and where the
