-Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6. (I. N.
fc.) There will be no aid given the
Lenin-Trotsky government in Russia
-while Woodrow Wilson is president.
.He made thia very plain to an' audi
mce that packed every available inch
of space in the big convention h:ill
here today. The president dec-hired
that the 34 men in control of Rus
sia's affairs represent no one but
themselves. He stated that they had
refused to allow ihe Russian people
any voice in their own affairs.
The president also declared Unit the
Armenian massacres were horrible and
warned his hearers that all Armenia
may be wiped out1, while the treaty of
.Versailles is being debated.
WEU'OME BKST TKT
The Kansas City welcome was the
best that "the president has had up to
the present time. Although It was Sat
urday morning the streets were lined
with cheering crowds who came to greet
the chief executive and his charming
wife. And the convention hall also was
filled to overflowing.
The audience was in complete sym
pathy, with the presidential spirit and
Ma various sallies were cheered and ap
plauded, j .
One departure that the president made
was to refer to th5 "Bolshevist spirit"
as Characterizing some of the opposition
to the treaty. He! made it plain, how
ever, that he was not charging that the
senators who are Opposed to the treaty
are Bolshevists, Mr. Wilson expressed
the fervent hope that there would be no
spread of international Bolshevism
throughout America.
The president continued his criticism
or the senatorial opposition as a elass,
but he carefully i refrained from ut
terance of a personal nature. He
told the audience hat he was j "reno1t-
',ing to the people!' and insisted again
ana again that wnen the people realise
all -that 1s in the treaty they will Insist
on Us approval, j Mr. Wilson also ex
pressed supreme i confideiu-e that the
treaty will be fully -ratified. He in
ateted'that it carries out the American
spirit and paid .hich tribute to the
valor of the American soldiers who,
he said, "won the war."
AUDIENCE WAVES FLAGS
The stay in Kansas City was of
three hours' duration. So soon as he
cuncluded his address the president

AID START
FOR FIELDS
Charleston, W. Va.. Sept. 6. (I.N.
S. ) Five hundred well armed strik
ing coal miners started a march to
day for the Coal river and Guyan dis
tricts of Kanawha county to avenge
alleged wrongs committed by mine
! guards there. According to officials
of the United Mine Workers here,
:;u00 other miners, armed, are pre
paring to join the marchers.
The state has no national guard and
officials today were considering the ad
visability of asking for federal troops
to control the strike situation in Kana
wha county. The men should reach
their destination at noon tomorrow.
MACHINE GLS OX HAXD
Governor COrnwell last night ad
dressed the striking miners and tried to
pacify them. He said that the stories
of cruelties were untrue. Agitators
later inflamed the men and the march
was started. Coal operators here de
clare that elaborate preparations have
been made for the reception of the
armed strikers, a carload of machine
guns with experienced gunners having
been sent in to the region recenfjy.
The line of march. It is said, will carry
the miners through a district infested
with moonshiners. Every coal mine in
the Coal river district, in ' addition to
those in the Kanawha valley and the
Uuyan district, is closed down today,
the Kanawha and Coal river miners
striking in sympathy with the miners
of the Guyan district.

will likely be sent lntothe hills by way
of Huntington. In this way they could
cut off the marchers before they had
reached the mining settlements.
The march of the miners started from
Oak Grove, eight miles up the Kanawha
river from here. About 5000 strikers
had gathered there to hear Governor
Corn well. The governor Was unaccom
panlei except by his wife. Many of
the men carried rifles while listening to
the state's executive.
The' cause of the entire trouble was
the report that' miners of the Guyan
field wer4 being shot down by., armed
irnar& women and children were being
killed an -starved to death and other
crimes were being committed.

Governor Jehh "jJ CornweJl of West Vir

Baker for nearly half ah hour over the
long distance telephone today.
Secretary Baker refused to discuss the
situation further than: to state that the
governor had not requested that troops
be sent in an effort to cut off the min
ers' march to the Coal river and Guyan
districts. Nor" would he indicate whether
a request for troops would be granted.
"The. department is in touch with the
situation, he commented. -

WOMEN SEEK WAR
TIME REGULATION
Federal Fair Price Committee to
Recommend Enforcement of
Food Control Law.
Portland's federal fair price com
mittee will recommend a return to
wartime regulation.
Such a recommendation to Wash
ington was moved by Mrs. George L.
Williams and passed unanimously by
the committee Friday night. It is
Mrs. Williams' idea that the national
food control law of 1917 is still in ef
fect and is not being properly en
forced by food administrators.
"I wish to call your attention to sec
tion 24 of the act," she said, fwhioh
provides that the law shall continue In
effect until the existing state of war be
proclaimed at an end by the president.
Such a proclamation has not been issued
and the law Is as binding as ever. This
it seerts is not generally understood.
"It eeerns to me that If food distri
butors' held licenses in 1918 and that
these licenses have not been cancelled
they may be compelled to comply with
the regulation laid . down by the presi
dent and if such regulations are not
sufficient to reach them, this committee
can, through the food administrator, re
quest the president to establish uch
regulations as will control effectively
the price of foods and authorize this
committee to act as his agents in the
application of such instructions.
"I move we find out if such licenses
are still in effect and if they have been
cancelled see that they-f are re-established
so that we may be able to aid the
public in reducing materially living
costs."
Grant Phegley testified before the
committee on the subject of clothing.
He said prices had risen in. the retail

FREAR CL

GETS. JOLTED
Official Figures Gfre Lie to Re
port That Dominion Produced as
Much as Disque's Legion.
The desirability of a government
reserve of high grade spruce timber
to meet future needs was in mind
when the Blodgett tract, near Ya
quina bay of 275,000,000 feet was
bought after the armistice was
signed, testified General Brice P.
Disque, at this morning's resumption
of 'the congressional spruce investi
gation at the federal building.
Another motive in the purchase, said
the former commander of the spruce
production division, was to establish a
property consisting of railroad connect
ing mill and forest tract which would
represent a - larger salvage value than
the Yaqulna mill and railroad without
control of a forest supply.
The hearing opened with Chairman
Frear back in his place, but with Con
gressman Magee conducting the interro
gation. It proceeded quietly.
Nevertheless the claim that Canada
with a, tenth of the men and equipment
had produced about as much airplane
material as the spruce production di
vision was rather rudely Jolted by a wire
from General Menoher, director of air
service, which General Disque read as
follows :
"Cut-up plant produced 36,159,143
feet airplane spruce, 37,504,1151 airplane
fir and 3.355,466 feet airplane cedar.
Canadian government produced in Bri
tish Golumbia 18.175,000 feet airplane
spruce and 8,182,000 feet airplane fir.
Approximately 98 per cent of cut-up
plant airplane lumber consigned to fac
tories in United States passed inspec
tion at factories. No figures available
as to percentage found usable abroad
nor percentage of Canadian government
output found usable. Kngland received
12.770.308 feet spruce; 11.597.630 feet

Sugar Scarcity
In City; Supply
Stops Suddenly
Wholesalers Told Refineries Are
Oversold to Canneries and
None Is to Be Had.
The mid-winter breakfast table
rhay have tart prune butter this year
and the sweet tooth of the average
autocrat of the breakfast table may
aa well hybernate , over fall if the
conditions in the sugar market in
Portland and elsewhere on the Pa
cific coast continue as they are to
day, as a result of the announcement
of Portland wholesale grocers.
Wholesale dealers are unable to pur
chase sugar In Pacific coast or other
refineries because of a marked over
sale in the refineries, and the result is
that local wholesale and retail stocks,
as well as the family sugar jar, are
practically empty, grocers today de
clared. '
SEW CROP OCTOBER IS
The absolute refusal of refineries to
sell to wholesalers what sugar they
may have was received by wholesalers
today, when they . attempted to buy
enough sweetener to supply retailers.
The retailers have a fair supply on the
average, It Is said, but not sufficient to
tide then over until about October 15.
when the new beet sugar crop will be
available.
What sugar is available in refineries
on the coast has been sold to canneries,
and even these institutions have been
denied their full orders because of the
shortage. The household consumption,
of sugar, due to great home canning
activity, has been 50 per cent greater
than coast refineries anticipated, they
declare in communications to Portland
dealers, and thus a shortage of supply
has been created.
PRICE REMAINS TJJfCHAXCKD
-The condition of the sugar market is
not expected to add to the price of
available supplies and late this after
noon what little sugar remains for sale
in Portland had not increased in price.
One of the leading wholesale grocers
of Portland did not have a single sack
of sugar In Its house during the day
and was unable to purchase any. Other
wholesalers had only a scant supply and
It Is easy to see how quickly this scant
stock will be grabbed by retailers. In
fact orders are already said to be avail
able for more sugar than these whole
salers have on hand.
The blow is especially hard on the
housewives who have planned to put-up
additional supplies of fruits for winter
ute. The only thing they can now do is
to pay big prices for the canned product,
for cannero are getting their sugar
needs.
