MORE FOR SUGAR
PRESENT OUTLOOK.
Chicago, Sept. 27. American
housewives will be forced to pay
IS cents a pound for sugar within
a few weeks and 25 cents a pound
by next spring, unless the United
States sugar equalization board
takes over the entire Cuban crop,
Recording to members of the Amer
ican Beet Sugar Manufacturers as
ociation, in session here.
To take over the Cuban crop
J- it would be necessary for President
VYilson to give the board authorisa

also be necessary to bring pressure
to bear on the Cuban government
to fix a maximum price and make
t possible for this country to se
cure the crop; Mr. Rolapp ex
pressed doubt if - the president
: would act. :
- "As things; stand the United

London, Sept. 27. (By The Asso

strike. Great Britain has ever ex
perienced is in full operation today.
Virtually all railway traffic in the
kingdom has stopped. ' Local trans
portation in London and other cities
has been partially interrupted and
complete suspension is threatened.
Tw.'' great railway organizations,
the Nat'onal Union of Railway Men
and the Society of Engineers and
Firemen, have stopped work. The
Miners' and Transport Workers'
union, the latter of which includes
the dock workers, are expected to
join them. , '
The English channel steamers and
railway boats plying the Irish Sea
probably will be tied UP, cutting off
England's communication with the
outer world to a large degree.

35.000 Employes of Bethlehem
Company Ordered to Join
the Walkout.
(By The Associated Press.)
Having failed in the first week
of the steel strike to paralyze the
industry, although crippling many
plants and forcing a shutdown in
some centers, union labor is massing
its. forces for a greater offensive
tomorrow, when approximately 35,-
000 employes of the Bethlehem
company have been ordered to join
the walkout.
On the other hand officials of the
United States Steel corporation and
independent companies who claim
to have won back many deserters,
are preparing to launch a drive of
their own, in an effort to reopen
as many plants as possible and in
crease the output in the mills kept
in operation.
The sixth day of the industrial
struggle, which, passing without
serious disorder, brought no great
advantage , to either side, was
marked by the following develop
ments: 1 Formal announcement by the
strikers national committee that
the Bethlehem strike would become
effective tomorrow.
2 Invitation extended by the
strikers to the senate labor com
mittee to visit Pittsburgh and in
vestigate for iiself "causes of the
strike" and "illegal and brutal
methods employed by the steel cor
portions to break the strike."
. . 3 Announcement that the strik
ers would confer with the railroad
brotherhoods "on matters in con
nection with the strike." . ; -
4 Expression of confidence in
William Z. Foster, secretary of the
strikers' national committee, adopt
ed by that body after attacks had
been made on Foster in congress
and elsewhere for alleged "radical
ism."' ' . '! .

in various cities to afford protection
to workers desiring. to return to
their posts tomorrow.. -j .

Senator Poindexter Flays Wi!
son at Mass Meeting on
Long Island.'
New York, Sept. 27. President
Wilson was characterized as "the
world's greatest menace" in an ad
dress by United States Senator
Miles Poindexter, at a mass meet
ing of Queens county republicans
in Long Island City to celebrate the
sixty-fifth anniversary of the found
ing of the republican party.'
The senator from Washington,
after blaming the president for de
lay in ratifying the peace treaty,
said he Was "the greatest pro-German
in the country," and that his
theories and suggestions regarding
the "democratization of industry"
'had encouraged radical labor lead
ers to attempt to bring about "a
dictatorship of - the proletariat"
which means the "final overthrow
of our republican form of govern
ment." Referring to the president's im
putation that certain opponents of
the peace treaty and covenant were
pro-Germans and bolshevists, Mr.
Poindexter entered a vigorous dis
claimer, declaring at the same time
that the president "was forced into
the war against the Germans by
an irresistible public opinion in op
position to his will and tried, as late
as 1918, to precipitate a negotiated
peace and thus defeat the aims of
the allies."
The '"reds of the world regard
him as their leader," asserted Sena
tor Poindexter. "His abuse of
power in coming to the rescue of
the dynamiter Mooney, in Califor
nia, the murderer Hilstrom in Utah,
the anarchist Robert Minor in
France, and in attempting to set
aside '"the processes of civil and
military justice in the punishment
of these criminals, has justified the
anarchists and revolutionists in
looking Upon him as their friend."

Washington, Sept. 27. Eight Ger

world, alloted to the United States
by the Inter-allied shipping commis
sion after the signing of the arm
istice and used to bring home the
American troops, are to be retain

place them in passenger and freight
service are being prepared by the
shipping board. '
The Imperator had been allocated
by the allied naval commission at
Paris to Great Britain and the Brit
ish minister of shipping said that
the ship would be delivered to him
at Hoboken for use by the Cunard
Line in service between New York
and England. The dipping Board
announced today, however, that it
had taken the liner over from the

"It is understood by, the United

While no official of the shipping

END OF OCTOBER
Adjt. Gen. Harris ' Makes
Statement to House Military ,
Affairs Committee.
Washington, Sept. 27. (By Uni
versal Service.) All drafted men in
the United States army will be-home
by the end of October.
This is the policy now being fol
lowed by the administration, Adjut
ant General Harris told the house
military affairs ' committee. The
statement was mada- in reply to a
question by Representative Kearns,
republican of Ohio, who asked what
would be the result if President
Wilson should withdraw the peace
treaty from the senate.
' "The policy is to bring all the
drafted men back," General Harris
said. "By the end of October there
will be no drafted men in Europe."
Up to September 4, the commit
tee was told, 4,378 men had been en
listed for Siberian service aid be
tween 2,000 andl.3,000 had sailed. This
leavfes . but a few more than 2,000
meri yet to be replaced and brought
home from, Siberia, General Harris
explained. .
Of the 37,211 men and 2,239 offi
cers now in France and Germany,
the adjutant general continued, less
than one-third are with the army of
occupation on the Rhine. The re
mainder are engaged in cleaning up
in France. .
No troops are being sent to Sile
sia, he stated. The Fifth and Fif
tieth infantry regiments, reported to
have been ordered to Silesia, he ex-
pleted. it is said, but omciais ot tne vc urai uiucicu iu oncsid, i
Am.ri, Qn Fprferatinn nf 1 .ahnr. fa- plained, are to go to Coblenz.

standing were quoted as describing thouSht ,s", dl" army of S09-000,
:t as tiie most far-reaching and com
prehensive agreement ever made by
organized labor.
Moic than 600,000 railway em
ployes are included in the group of
unions known as the railroad shop
men. According to statements ob-'
tained from various sources, the
contenpla'.ed agreement iicludes a
union wage scale for each trade or
craft involved, the establishment of
a basic eight-hour day, time1 and a
half for overtime, and many other
detailed provisions, all to be incor

tracts which would terminate auto

Total Hurricane Death Toll
' Officially Placed at 345
Corpus Christi, Tex., Sept. 27.
A revised summary of the casualties
made public by the Bureau of In
formation places the knownsdead in
the vicinity of Corpus Christi as
the result of the hurricane and tidal
wave which swept over the South
Texas gulf coast, Sunday, Sept. 14,
at 320. Of this number, 157 were
identified. The known dead in the
vicinity of Rockport, Aransas Pass
and Port Aransas, is officially given
as 35, bringing the total death roll
to 345. In Corpus 'Christi, alone,

for contains 275 names, making a
grand total of 520 for the affected
districts, including known dead and
missing. , .
men and 27,000 officers, as proposed
by the War department, is, neces
sary, but as an alternative he urged
a force of '332,000 officers and men.
Of this number, he said, an expedi
tionary force of six infantry and
one cavalry division should be main
tained at minimum strength in the
United States ready for service at
any time. ' Available trained troops
also should be kept at the training
camps. '
The adjutant general's views with
egard to the universal military
training were slightly at variance
with the recommendations of the
general staff. He advocated a six
months training period, with a pro
vision that men given training in
colleges and schools should not be
required to serve more than three
months in camps.

. UniteA liege Most Flagrant
Of All Profiteering Cases
Landlord Strehlow Demands 25 Per Cent Increase from
105 Families, Giving Estimated Income Greater
Than One of Big Office Buildings in City Deputy
- County Attorney Rosenblum Says Cases Will Be
Fought to Last Court.
Occupants representing 105 families in the Roland, Ma
jestic, Margaret and Strehlow apartments, Sherman avenue
and Yates street, owned and controlled by1 R. Cfc Strehlow,
have refused absolutely to agree to their rents being raised
25 per cent, and declare when their cases are presented in
a court of justice an example of flagrant profiteering as bold
as it is startling, will be developed.
Tenants Make Probe.
Tenants !in these apartments have made a thorough in
vestigation and declare that Mr. Strehlow's returns from his
four apartments, if he realizes his hopes, will amount to
more than the receipts in rentals of one of the largest and
most modern 15-story office buildings in the business section
of the city.
This isHrue despite the fact, it is alleged,Nthat the capi
tal invested in the apartment houses will amount to about
one-fourth as much as that n such an office structure.
Fight to Last Court.
The occupants of Mr, Strehlow's
apartments have agreed to resist the
profiteering demands of their land
lord. They declare they , will take
their cause to the courts of the
last resort.
The extortionate rents will not
be paid, it was declared by Deputy
County Attorney Arthur Rosen
blum, a tenant, and every, action
brought by the landlord for ejec
tion will be fought to the bitter end.
Several weeks ago Mr. Strehlow
sent out notices to his tenants ad
vising them of his purpose to raise
their rents 25 per cent oyer the rates
named in last year's leases. -
With these notices, it is said, a
threat was forwarded to the effect
that, if the occupants did not ac
cede to the arbitrary demands, exe
cute and return promptly their
leases for the ensuing year, $2 ad
ditional a month would be added to
their already. sky-high rent rates.
Of the occupants of the 105 apart
ments, it is estimated that less than
12 complied with this demand.
Final Ejectment Notice.
To those who refused to agree to
the extortionate rates this final no
tice was mailed yesterday:
"You are hereby notified to leave,

Bootleggers' Autos
Run Gauntlet and

A squad of automobiles, thought
to have been loaded with contra-
Lband liquor, ra: the gauntlet of
federal officers over the Douglas
street ' bridge from Council Bluffs
early Friday morning. A hail of
bullets, fired by the officers, failed
to stop any of the cars. One car
stopped for a few seconds, then
darted forward when a federal of
ficer put his -gun to a front tire
and fired.
Sometime later, a car with two
bullet holes in the rear of the body
and a tire fot away was reported
going through South Omaha. The
federal agents were warned of the
arrival of the cars from Kansas
City. It is thought a lookout on
this side of the bridge gave warn
ing to -the agents, as a man ' ap
proached the tollkceper at 2 o'clock
and asked him what time the next
Bluffs car would pass. An hour
later, the alleged booze cars ' ran
