A—22 wux THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, DELEGATES ARRVE FORSUCARPARLEY 22 Nations Join in Seeking Five-Year Plan to Stabilize Huge Industry. BY the Assoctated Press. LONDON, April 2.—Delegates from 22 countries assembled today to seek | an international five-year plan to stabilize the world's $1,300,000,000 sugar industry and put it on a paying basis for producers. The sessions, looking to co-ordi- nation of both production and sale in exporting and producing countries, will open Monday with a formal ses- sion at the British foreign office. Former Premier Ramsay MacDonald will preside. The initiative for the conference came from MacDonald as president of the World Monetary and Eco- nomic Conference of 1933 and Dr. Hendryk Colijn, prime minister of the Netherlands, who served as chair- | man of the Economic Committee of | the conference. Representatives Expected. Over the week end representatives | are expected from the United States, | the United Kingdom, Canada, Aus- | tralia, Union of South Africa, India, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Por- | tugal, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugo- | slavia, Cuba, Peru, Brabil, the Neth- erlands, Belgium, Hungary, China and the Dominican Republic. | causing the only difficulty which may | arise from the sessions. Should Japan force her own production, while stay- ing outside any new agreement, it was pointed out that Java, represented by the Netherlands, might object to tying her hands with a quota agreement. Norman Davis, United States Am- bassador at large and head of the American delegation, declared on his arrival for the sessions that the situa- tion in the sugar industry was “a most disturbing economic element.” First Attempted in 1931. Regulation of world sugar produc- tion was first attempted in 1831, when a five-year agreement was reached to dispose of great accumulations and improve prices. This agreement, which was operated successfully in nine countries, ended in September, 1935. Although prices have since risen and stocks reduced to normal proportions through the 1931 restriction plan, the price of sugar remained at what was described as an uneconomic level, PLATT WILL FILED Woman’'s Testament Dispoges of $155,072.21 Estate.

STEEPLECHASEE 10 BE CONSDERED International Event Affected by Mellon Farms Wage Dispute. BY the Assoctated Press. PITTSBURGH, April 2.—Officers of the Rolling Rock Steeplechase will de= cide next week whether to discon- tinue the International Gold Cup Steeplechase because of R. K. Mel- lon’s decision to abandon operations at Rolling Rock Farms, near Ligonier, Pa. Herbert A. May, secretary-treasurer of the Steeplechase, made this ar- nouncement today after Mellon, 38- year-old sportsman and benker, had said all cattle and horses on the farm would be:sold, Pay Increase Demanded. Thirty-six laborers at the farm ceased work yesterday because their demand for a 20 cents an hour wage increase over their present 30 cents an hour rate was not met. Mellon’s secretary said: “The pres- ent plan is that the hunt will be dis- | banded, but it will be up to the | officers.” The Sun-Telegraph quoted Mellon: “We have been holding the Rolling Rock Hunt for 18 years, but there will ‘be no more hunts. We're going to close down the farm. We will dis- | pose of the stock, move our stables and abandon the hunts and steeple- chases.” INVEST in KNOIWN QUALITY at RALEIGH HABERDASHER MANHATTAN SHIRTS e PAJAMAS HANDK MANSCO ERCHIEFS UNDERWEAR Known as the best ... the best known!

The Sun-Telegraph said Mellon acted after the Loyalhanna Valley farmers supported the workers in their demands and threatened to bar the hunters from their farms. The Mellon farm comprises approx- imately 12,000 acres, and the chase is held over 240 surrounding farms totaling 75,000 acres. The newspaper said Mellon asserted the farmers joined in the hunts “with- out a cent of cost.” “They shared in the parties and had parties of their own at our ex- pense,” it quoted him. “We tried to create a sporting community. “There was no profit in it for us. “But we paid them. We distributed jobs on the farm—more jobs than we needed to have done. “We paid them $3 a day for this unnecessary work—welfare work, if you want to call it that. It was a sporting proposition.” The Sun-Telegraph said Arthur Baum, Loyalhanna Valley farmer, had told Mellon: “Go ahead and close up the farm tight. The people at thé hunt cut down our fences if they're in the road and they’ll run over a wet fleld with 50 or 60 head of horses.” Richard K. Mellon is a nephew of Andrew W. Mellon, former Secretary of the Treasury. —_— Britain’s latest destroyer, H. M. S. Impulsive, has been launched at Cowes, England.
