prospects of settlement. Others
said they could hold out little hope
for continued deferment II 1t seemed
there would be an indefinite delay
in reaching conclusions.
Some observers expressed the opin-
ion that each day of delay made
more remote the possibility that there
would be a strike at all, but that
found no confirmation in the labor
camps.
Four Days Total $500.
Whatever the psychological effect
of the delay. it was an indisputable
fact that approximately $4,000 auto
mobiles and trucks had been turned
out by the industry since the strike
was postponed Tuesday night, to ap-
ply against an unparalleled backlog
of untitled dealers orders.
The weeks production is estimated
at 1880 units, the highest since
the week of April 18, 1881, when
81 200 units were produced.
1t was also a fact that employees
in the industry had received an ap-
proximate $4,000, 900 in wages during
those four days, most of which would
not have been forthcoming had the

MODIFIED SUGAR NJ
BILL IS ACCEPTED
Control Measure Goes to
Congress Tomorrow.
New Quotas Set.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A sudden break in the deadlock.
on negotiations over sugar control
bill resulted yesterday In a plan for
the introduction of modified measures
In the House and Senate tomorrow.
The revised bill will set up pro-
duction quota of 1.550600 tons
annually for sugar beet growers and
100000 tons annually for cane pro-
ducers in Louisiana and Florida. The
sugar beet quota is 100000 tons above
the figure originally recommended by
the administration. The Secretary Of
Agriculture probably will be given
discretionary powers to fix production
quotas for producing areas outside
continental United States.
Follows Original. .
The new bill will follow generally
the program outlined in the original
Costigan-Jones bill. 1t was drawn
by officials of the Department of
Agriculture and is designed to draw
the support of all sugar interests.
Provision will be made to allow the
domestic industry more than it's pro-
rata share of any increase IN con-
sumption and a limitation viii be
placed on the importations of refined;
sugar.
The decision to introduce the mod
flied bill this week indicated agree
ment had been reached by warning
factions who have been at odds for
several weeks. Representatives Of
domestic growers have evidently re-
ceived concessions, although all their
demands we're not granted.
Under the act. sugar would be in
cluded as basic commodity and a
processing tax levied to provide bene-
fit payments TO growers, The measure
also will provide for some disposition
of surplus sugar now on hand.
Storage Plan.
One plan calls for an appropriation
to purchase surplus sugar and remove
it from the market. Another pro-
vides for a storage plan to withhold
sugar from the market, displacing old
sugar with new each year and releas-
ing it gradually SO as not to affect
the market until the surplus is
limited A program to purchase up
to 5000 tons of the domestic sur
plus was reported most in favor.
Several members of the House
Agriculture Committee and the Sem
ate Finance Committee conferred on
the new proposal yesterday and were
reported ready for immediate action
on the revised bill. The Finance
Committee has before it the original
bill by Senator Costigan: Democrat,
of Colorado. The Agriculture COM
mittee has under consideration the
companion bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Jones, Democrat, of Texas.

his many years in the Senate They
have coming to them all the praise
and honor you have given them here

audience.
