Who is being "sweetened" by the
present alleged sugar shortage? Is
it the sugar trust who have been
preven"d "nd are still being prevent
ed by governmental authority from
shooting Bhe price of this necessity
of life up to 25 or 30 cents a pound
and robbing the people at their will?
Are they holding up the supply as a
punishment to the government for
this interference with their business
affairs and of the people for not
wanting to be robbed? There are
people in these United States who
believe the sugar barons 'have some
thing to do with the "shortage."
Has the packing trust, which owns
most of the big fruit canneries in
the country, got Its finger in the su
gar bowl trying to purloin a lump
with which to sweeten its own fat
chops while it thinks nobody is look
ing? There are people who say that
the big canneries are running full
blast with plenty of sugar for theh
needs while the small, independent
concerns are forced to close and the
housewives all over the country are
watching the fmit rot they have
bought and paid for while facing the
coming winter with empty fruil
shelves and wit'.i all cannery products
held at outrageous prices.
According to press dispatches sev
eral days ago a prominent citizen of
Cuba who hud just landed In New
York made the statement that the en
tire Cuban crop is being held in
warehouses by the American sugar
trust for purposes of its own and that
then' is no lctiliniate reason for any
son of a sugar famine at this time.
If these and other surmiHos and
reports are true -and this writer "hap
no particular reason to dispute them
- Hi" question will naturally arise
In every inquiring mind why such a
condition Is permitted.
If the government can take over
the niiln.uils and the telegraph lines
as it has dune; If It can fix the price
or . im.ir unit other commodities as it
has done; If It can put soap-box agl
lal.nn In Jail for stlnlng up unrest,
as it has dune, why in the name ot
all i iat Is American, and democratic,
and )jti!otlc a fail' and Just i.n.

and placed in service at the rate of
616 per day. New cars at the rate of
218 per day were completed and
placed in serivce, thus making a total
of 834 cars per days placed in serv
ice. "All available railroad Shops are
being used for the purpose of supple
menting the work of the car shops in
stencilling cars in storage. The total
number of these cars plaped in serv
ice daily will increase during the next
few weeks."
Much stress has been laid on the
Increase in the percentage of cars
withdrawn for repairs in the recent
months to and including July. The
fact is; that this Increase in the num
ber of cars withdrawn tor repairs has
not been due to a falling off in the
number of cars repaired but has been
due to a number of complex factors
wTiich have arisen from the condi
tions resulting from the war, from
the exceptional pooling or cars during
unified control, and from questions
arising between the railroad admin
istration and the railroad corpora
tions. The emphasis wnicn foas been
laid upon the percentage of cars
withdrawn from service for repairs is
ihrneinre. misleading and does not
give a correct idea as to the number
of cars actually in service. The num
ber of cars actually in service, not
Including bad order cars, Increased
from 1,983,000 on. July 1.1917, to
2,065,000 on July 1, 1919.
The railroad administration how
ever, is not content with its ability to
point to the fact that transportation
service is more favorable than it was
two yeaiB ago. On the contrary, ex
traordinary v efforts are being put
forth to secure the greatest possible
improvement. Although th-number
of cars repaired in May and June,
1919, was fully up to the nor-anl
number of cars repaired, the i'uM
road administration gave instructions
on June 20, 1919, that all car forces
be increased to the full standard
measure of 48-houis per week and
that additional shifts be woil.c!
where the additional employes could
be obtained and where they could be
economically used The shewing
naturally to be expected from the
putting into effect ot tliese instruc
tions was hampered in July bv the
Intervention of practically a couple
of holidays and, of course, was tem
porarily prevented in August b ' tie
strikes of a large number of shop
employes. Conditions having now
been restored to normal, it Is ex
pected that these instructions will
promptly Bhow a most favoiadt re
sult. Further than this, the railioad
admlnlalration 'p-lructed on Migust
16, 1919, that all ar forces be put
on a basis of 54-houia per week It
Is oel'rved that tlii instruction will
result In a marked Improvement, Msn
in Uie monthly repair of a n.uch
greater number oi ciis than the nor
mal number and will stcaully in
crease the number of cars ac'iielly
available for service us compared
with preceding years.
In addition to this, the railroad ad
ministration Is' rapidly getting the
benefit of the service of a large num
ber of new cars constructed during
federal control but whose introduc
tion into service was postponed on ac
count of Inability to agree with the
mill naif corporations as to the ac
ceptance of the cars. This inability
has been overcome. Between Aucuit
1 and .September 6, 23.56 4 of these
cars have been put Into service, and
Uiey are now coming into service nu-
der the spur of recent Instructions at
the rale of over !ud in-r djy.
