LABOR SITUATION
IS LESSSEVERE
Improvement Is Reported by
Bureau of Crop Estimates
After Investigation.
WAGE RATE NOT CONSIDERED
Actual Supply of 1919 Was 83 Per
Cent Against 72 Per Cent One
Year Ago Leu Favorable on
the Atlantlo Coast
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Improvement in the farm labor situ
ation this year over 1018 Is reported
by the bureau of crop estimates,
United States department of ngrlcul
ture, after investigation in oil agricul
tural counties of the United States. By
Improvement is meant net Increase of
supply and consequently more labor
for planting, cultivating and harvest
ing in relation to the work to be done.
Wage rates were not included in the
Investigation.
Improvement In 1919.
Stated In percentage of a normal la
bor supply as related to a normal de
mand for labor, the actual supply of
1918 was 72 por cent and of 1019 It is
83 per cent still Inadequate without
greuter than normal dependence on
machinery and animal, tractor aud
motor power, and without more than
usual labor by farmers and their fami
lies. However, the improvement over
1018 is considerable.'
In both years the groups of states
Unit were and are provided with labor
in relation of supply to demand, less
than, or at the most equal to, tho aver
age for the United States, are the
North Atlantic, the South Atlantic and
the South Central.
Among these three groups of states,
the greatest improvement is in the
North Atlantic and the least Is In the
South Atlantic, and these extremes of
high and low Improvement are not
equaled by the North Central and
Western states, In each of which the
average Improvement Is almost the
same as that of the entire country.
The Improvement is evenly distributed
throughout all stnte groups, except the
iNorth Atlantic states, where the gain
Is twice as great as in each of the
other groups of states.
Situation Is Worse.
Apart from tendency toward relief
irom labor scarcity from 1018 to 1818,
the situation this year is less favorable
on the Atlantic coast, from New Eng
land to the South Atlantic states as a
group, than In the states west of tha
Appnlachlan mountains as groups, and
In this long .strip of coast the situation
Is worse In the South Atlantlo group
of states.
Utilizing Time.
"Ladles," announced the president
of an afternoon bridge club. "It has
been moved and seconded that there
shall be no conversation at the card
tables. What shall we do with the
motion?" "I suggest," said a sprightly
member, "that we discuss It while we
play."
Judge Sidley Ballou, representing
Hawaiian sugar manufacturers, denied
before the senate agriculture commit
tee that the Hawaiian crop had been
sold to Japanese interests, as stated
recently In the senate by Senator
Smoot, republican, Utah. Virtually the
entire crop, he said, has been disposed
of to two big Pacific coast refiners at
cent less a pound than the price
then prevailing In New York.
INCREASED
PIE IN

Price Limit Placed at 10 Cents
Wholesale
BY EQUALIZATION ACT
The Board Notifies Refineries Who
Have Been Withholding; Supplies
Until Market Is Steady.
Washington, D. C Steps to prevent
an abnormal increase in the price of
sugar because of the existing shortage
were taken Monday by the department
of Justice.
Attorney-General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners who have been
withholding their products from the
market until the price situation be
came stabilized, that the United States
sugar equalization board had deter
mined that 10 cents was a fair price
to be charged the wholesalers and that
any charge in excess of that amount
would be regarded as violation of the
food control act.
Refiners were asked to telegraph
their concurrence In this price, which
would mean that they would put their
supply on the market immediately.
The price to the wholesaler hereto
fore has been 9 cents. Retailers have
been allowed to charge 11 cents a
pound for controlled sugar under the
old prices, It is assumed that the new
retail increase would be not greater
than the wholesale advance.
Attorney-General Palmer made pub
lic the following telegram sent to beet
sugar refiners:
"After thorough investigation by the
duly recognized authorities on sugar,
the United States Sugar Equalization
board has notified the department of
justice of the following facts;
" 'As a considerable part of the
country generally supplied at this time
of the year with beet sugar may be
embarrassed because of the beet sug
ar factories' failure to sell beet sugar
as produced and this condition in turn
is due to the uncertainty regarding
price, our judgment is that no higher
than 10 cents cash, less 2 per cent
seaboard basis, Is justified and we
hope that you will decide at once to
begin marketing your sugar on this
basis and relieve the very serious sit
uation." GARY IS FIRM IN
OPEN SHOP DEMAND
Washington, D. C In his first pro
nouncement before the national indus
trial conference, Judge E. II. Gary,
chairman of the board of the United
States Steel corporation, sitting as a
representative of the public, Monday
reaffirmed his position that the Bteel
strike "should not be arbitrated or
compromised" and objected to action
op that Issue by the conference.
He also restated without modifica
tion his belief in the open shop and
the right to determine terms of em
ployment "between employe and em
ployers."
This statement brought forth from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, the
charge that Judge Gary was taking the
attitude that "there is no other opin
ion in the matter."
Referring to the corporation chair
man's request that the conference take
no action in the strike, the labor lead
er declared that if the real industrial
Issues were to be brushed aside there
was no purpose in continuing the con
ference. While the clash of the two leaders
removed' the hope of an agreement on
the dominant issue of collective bar
gaining, prospects of conciliation were
considered still more remote when it
was permitted to become known that
the representatives of capital after an
all-day session were steadfast in their
refusal to accept the Russell-Endlcott
resolution for recognition of collective
bargaining, approved by the public and
labor groups.
Britain Waits on U. S.
Portsmouth, England. The person
nel of the British navy will be reduced
to 50,000 men when the United States
ratifies the peace treaty, it is said by
the News, on what it declares to be
authoritative Information. The num
ber of marines, It declares, will be cut
to 10,000, The pre-war strength of the
British naval personnel, shown by fig
ures of 1914, was 114,236 officers and
men. The number of marines in the
same year was 18,042.
