CUBAN SUGAR GROWERS WANT OPEN MARKET Declare They Must Be Given "Ample Margin of Pro tection" Havana, Oct. 20. A manifesto 'issued by the organizing committee of the recently formed Cuban Sugar Manufacturers' and Planters' Asso ciation addressed to the American people and press, demands an open market for its product. . The association protests against any attempt arbitrarily to restrict sugar prices, and declares that if Cuba cannot obtain adequate prices or is not given "an ample margin of protection" decreased production of sugar automatically will take place, thus presenting a serious danger to all nations. "Wo protest before the American people in the friendliest spirit, but with all the firmness which fche pos sibility of such an injustice calls for, willing that our claims he adjudged by the great nation which came to our rescue in a cause of justice and liberty and to whom we are bound by ties of gratitude and affection," the manifesto says. "The Cuban producers willingly agreed during the war to the regu lations suggested by the United States, while realizing that they were giving up an opportunity to obtain double prices In an open market, even though general conditions were unfavorable, with uncertain wage conditions, scarcity of labor and in creasing cost of comm iti'-s." The manifesto complains that the Cuban producers did not participate in the $30,000,000 reserve accumu lated by the Sugar Equalization Board and points out thut the in crease in the price of sugar is not in proportion to the increase in the cost of general articles of consump tion imported into Cuba. Sugar Shortage Gets Worse, Senate Is Told Washington. Oct. 20. No relief from the present sugar situation is in sight and the probabilities are that conditions will become worse, the Senate Agriculture Committee was told by Dr. Alonzo Taylor of the Department of Agriculture. Consumption has increased about 18 per cent, compared with last year Dr. Taylor said, due largely to in creased manufacture of candy and soft drinks to satisfjl a den-fond re sulting from prohibition. Other causes given by the witness were a rebound from wartime repression and extravagance due to prosperity. Dr. Taylor told the committee the price of sugar had nothing to do with consumption in the United States as the people were engaged in an "orgy of spending" and were not trying to economize.

Mr. Murdock is well known to Pennsylvania Legionaires, as he was acting state chairman during the con vention here. He .filled the office of chairman in a most efficient manner, and it wap largely duo to his efforts that the delegates were able to put over the large amount of business which was handled at the conven tion. Commissioned with the rank of major to handle the selective draft in Pennsylvania Mr. Murdock provided the military service of this country with a number oiSmen exceeded by only one other State. The position of State Adjutant will demand the presence of Major Mur dock at Philadelphia, where he will establish his headquarters.

Several are on main highways out of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and there are a number in the vicini. ty of the State Capitol four alone be tween Harrisburg and Lancaster points, while there are also several in the Huntingdon-Blair region, a few near Gettysburg and quite a few in western counties.

NEW QUESTION IN COMPENSATION Board Sets Aside Receipt in Clearfield Case; Suggests Test on Responsibility The Pennsyl \\\ s/s vania Compensa- V\\\ tion Board in a ruling just issued j has set aside a final rece 'Pt In a case where it was vJQHStitiv contended that a - lafafflfllmsW claimant had re ; MjSiyyßl turned to work hospital before he was discharged and then discovering that he was unable to work.- The case presents some unusual features in compen sation administration. The claim ant, William Burnell, Madera, Clear field county, injured in one of his arms while working for the H. W. Swoope Co., and after being paid compensation and receiving hospital treatment left the hosprkal and re turned to work. He worked four days and was compelled to quit, it being discovered upon examination by a doctor that his arm had be come infected and that a new opera tion was necessarv. T'he claimant then sought to set aside the final receipt on the ground that he was unable to work when he thought he was in condition. The defendant contended that the man's disability was due to leaving the hospital before he was discharged. Com pensiition was paid for 37 weeks. The board set aside the receipt and leaves the employer free to raise the question as to whether "the al leged conduct of the claimant is re sponsible for the continuing dis ability." The hoard dismissed for want of jurisdiction Schultz vs. Baldwin Ldcomotive Works, Philadelphia; Neif vs. American International Shipbuilding Co., Philadelphia, on the ground that death in the case was due to natural causes during the influenza epidemic, and Wooten vs. J. G. Brill 1 & Co., Philadelphia, and Taglianetti vs. Philadelphia Rubber Works, Philadelphia. The State of Pennsylvania is re quired to rebuild a bridge damaged by flood or fire after having been once rebuilt by the State, according to an opinion given to Thomas E. Templeton, superintendent of public grounds and buildings, by Deputy Attorney General William M. Har gest. The bridga in question is Knoxville bridge Over the Cowan esque in Tioga county. The State rebuilt it in 1916 after destruction by flood and this year another flood destroyed the south abutment and one wingwall. The legal. depart ment held that the latter condition constitutes a situation where the State must rebuild and cites the Kunkel opinion in the Catawissa bridge where two spans were de stroyed and the court held that the State must rebuild. Mr. Hargest refers at length to the report of Charles E. Covert, of this city, who made the inspection for Mr. Temidc ton and to the report of Willis Whited, engineer of bridges of the State Highway Department, as estab lishing the conditions. / Chairman W.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of yes terday had this to say about the new colonels of the National Guard: "Now that the list of regimental commanders of the newly-reorganized National Guard of Pennsylvania has been announced, great satisfaction has been expressed everywhere at the selection of the men, there fitness for the positions their war records and their all-round ability. Officers and men alike who served under the new ly-named regimental commanders both )n the National Guard and in Federal service in Franc©, are highly pleased and say that with such men as these as leaders the reorganiza tion of the Guard is bound to be a success.. There is not a man recom mended for executive position by Ma jor General William G. Price, Jr., but who has been thoroughly tried out and put through the test as a soldier, a tactician, as an organizer and as a man among men. Never before in the history ot the National Guard has such a brilliant list of colonels ever commanded regiments In this State."

Finegan, the State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. Dr. Finegan suggests that school boards take steps to bring this day to attention of their public and that good roads advocates may unite with health authorities and the Red Cross in launching movements f6r better ment of life in the country. The Superintendent says: "This is an opportune time to inaugurate the observance of a Rural Life Day. The Autumn Arbor Day and Bird Day will occur October 24 next. School boards throughout the rural sec tions of the State would do well to request all the schools to en large the functions of this day and consider not only the con servation of the natural re sources of the State but also to consider all the questions in volved in making the rural dis-' tricts more attractive and de sirable for those who live In such sections. The needs of the school might be made one of the principal features to be con idered and those interested in the school might devise plans to show how the school could be impfrffved, how it could be made to serve more completely the needs of the agricultural in terests, how the buildings and grounds could be improved and made as modern, convenient and attractive as the homes in the district which the school serves. Good roads are an asset to good schools and those who support the school might very appro priately consider the improve ment of all roads which lead to the school house. School boards will find that the Grange, Farm Bureau and other organizations directly interested in the im provement of rural conditions will cheerfully co-operate in a movement of this mind. There Is no question of more concern to those who live in the rural sections than the question of health. The health authorities and the Red Cross will also cordially co-operate in this lar ger movement for the improve ment of rural conditions if the opportunity is afforded them.
