' ' 'Steps to prevent nn nbuormnl vin
r.rease in the price of sugar, because
' of the, existing "shortage, were taken
today by the department of justice.
Attorney General rainier notified
i.-f ,nr refineries, who have been
withholding their product from market, , cC(jni. street.
That tbo United States sugar equaliza
tion board bad determined that ten
oenta was ft fair price to be charged
the wholesaler and that any chnrgo in
ices of that amount would be re
gaMcd in violation of the food con
trol act.
TtofiiiPr,. were asked to telegraph
their concurrence in this price, which
means" they would put their supply on
the market immediately, thereby re
lievlng the present stringency.
The price to tho wholesaler here-'
tofore has been nino cents so that the
jiew price means nn increase orotic
cent n pound. v Y
'ElexoirCent Cliargn Sanctioned
Iletailers have bent allowed to churgc
fclcvcn cents a pound for controlled
migar under the old prices.
While tho Department of Justice and
the sugar board did not state what the
jiew retail price would be, it wits nb-
1 mimed that thcinereuse would be not
greater than tho wholcsalo aduineo.
' Attorney General Palmer made pub
llo the following telegram sent to beet
sugar refiners: , , .
'After thorough investigation by tin
recognized authorities on sugar the
tho United States sugar equalization
board has notified the Department of
Justice of tho following facts: ,
" 'An n considernblo pari, tit the
i-ountry generally, supplied at this time
of the year wlffi1 beer sugar may be
embarrassed becnuse of the beet sugui
factories failure to bell beet sugar iw
produced,- nnd this couditioti, ill turn,
is due to tbo uncertainty regarding
price, our judgment H thut no higher
lirlco than" ten cents cash, less -per
cent seaboard basis, is, Justified.
"We hope that you will decide at
onco to begin marketing jour sugar on
this basis and relievo the -.cry serious
situation. Tho price of tenand tuic
balf cents net cash f. o. b. plant, which
lias been offered by the sugar cqunlizu-
tlon board for sugars in excess of re
quirements in your territory as shown
by "your 1017 deliveries as a "minimum
up to 50,000 tons for November and
December shipments to relieve an acute
bhortage among tho manufacturers east,
is not to be considered u precedent of
basis for loeal prices.
"I ask you to make jour announce
ment of prices based on tho above. The
Department of Justice will Jreat,us an
unjust charge any price in excess of
this and consider such a. charge a viola
tion of Section 4 of tho'Lcvcr food con
trol act, as amended.
Candy Ulakcrs Short
Confectioners in various Motions of
the city have been f6rced to slop mak
iug candy because of the acute sugar
shortage. The shortage is'beripusly af
fecting the prescription druggists also,
who say many prescriptions call for
sugar.
Ice, cream manufacturers arc "crip
pling along on a hnnd-to-mouth ba
sis," according to Robert Crane, man
ager of the Crane Company. And
housewives find it virtually impossible
to get sugar.
James It. Walker, secretary of the
Retail Confectioners' Association, said
, sonic confectioners have been forced to
close their shops, and that others will
be forced out of business if their sup
ply is cut two-thirds, as has been pro
posed. -
Sir thousand tons of raw suenr.
which arrived in port last night from
Cuba, will be ready for market within
n few days and may stave off the threat
ened famine, dealers say.

Retess Now Proposed
A plan has been formulated bv nn
cither conspicuous member of till
people's group which contemplates a.
complete overturning of pieseut methods;
nf procedure. It would go buck ancj
begin nil over again, possibl with
lecess of a week or two, to formulate a
definite pingtnm.
The basis of the plan is the Idea that
the coiiferenie. like the builders of n
modern steel framed skj scraper, has
started to lay the brick and set flic
stone from a point two or tnree stories
above the foundation.
The thing to do is to go back nnd
build up from the foundation, taking
up seriatim the position of labor, its
rights und responsibilities, the right to.
organize and tlie character of the or-,
ganiz.ition. nnd following this with
questions of strike ptivllcges, arbitra
tion, wages, etc.
