WARFARE OF THE SUCAR m’ Beet Producers of the West Organise to Fight the Amerioan Trust. EX-CONGRESSMAN LEWS 1S A LEADER He In Said to Be Siated for President of the New Combination—“Call It Trast Against Trast,” He Says. CHICAGO, March 14.—(Speeial Telegram.) ~The beet sugar men of the west, repre- senting $100,000,000 of capital, are orgal Izing to fight the SBugar trust, or America Bugar Refining company. The first steps were taken this aftornoon at & meeting of the stockholders of the Idaho Beet Sugar compay In the Home Life Insurance building, Lasalle street. Ex-Congressman J,, Hamilton Lewis of Washington, who Is president of the Idaho company and ia said to be slated for the presidency of .the so-called ugar Beet trust,” arrived toduy from Seattle and was #een at the Auditortum Annex. He was ked regirding the reports of consolid tion. i “It is true,” he safd, “that a plan for the reorganization ok thé Deet sugar companies of the west 1& well ander way, but the mat- ter is not In sBApe to discuss.” “WiIL you fight the Sugar trust or expect to be #bmorbed?” “Thers ds #io\ thlk af merger or absorp- tion,” declated the former congressman emphaticaliyy, “Wa will fight the trust. It you like, call It ‘trist against trust’ From other sources:it was learned that during the next fgrtnight representatives of most of the westérn best sugar men will meet in this city to take final steps in re- organization and consolidation in a new company.

CRISIS IS REACHED, BUT NOT PASSED Governor Crane Declares Sei Will Be Reached Soon, as O lement coming Eme BOSTON, March 14.—The labor situation in Boston tonight Is extremely perplexing. To give welght to statements of labor men who speak without authority and who say that harmony is not restored is to make the outlook far more critical than at any time since the alliea freight transportation eouncil began its fight a; st the R. 8. Brine Transportation company. On the other hand ‘Governor Crane and the state board of arbitration belleve that the prob- lem is being solved quite rapidly, consid- ering the immensity of the strike, and only ask for time and patience, from both la- boring and busimess men to remove all ob- stacles for a resumption of freight trafic under ordinary condition. As & matter of fact the strike was com- paratively broken today.. Although troubles cropped. out- in many , quarters, some of which were arranged with delay and others dragged along in. uncertain state, so that they came in for consideration hv the varl- ous labor bodies tonight. During these meetings judging from what was argued by the men, independent strikes of bodies seem impending, ‘but the leaders in the strike Just ended arée sanguine that they still hold control and will not again be obliged to order a)strike of the freight handlers or its more serious accompanyment, pathetie strike of affiliated bodlies. tow will’show more cléarly the conuitions in this reapect. Men Rush for 014 Places. The special side of the strike breaking {oday presented an army of workingmen rushing helter, skelter to get to thelr old positions. There had been more than 20,000 places vacated, but fully ten per cent of the men found thelr places filled. This was the réason for friction all day, affect- ing only the men themselves for concerns were too busy raising the embargo on £60ds in their keeping to give heed to talk of unfairness. Freight began to move at docks, freight sheds, from and to whole sale houses and factories and upon the streets and by night great fnroads had been made on the four da ccumulation of goods. With the breaking of the strike employ~ ers of freight handlers, team drivers, or lumpers, rushed into print with calls for more help. Even concerns which heréto- fore have beén bound to unionism seem to have grasped the opportunity of hiring whom they liked. It is on this point of all others, that the critical phase of the situa- tion tonight hangs. The real battle today was between the men who control the strike and the representatives of great interests who had been prevalled upgn to consider certain propositions as a way to a settle- ment of the frouble. Govermor a Mediator. As tor the past it was Governor Crane, at his office In the statehouse, who stood between the parties at fssue. The gov- rnor recelved many delegations during the afternoon and by great exertion got to- gether President John M. Hall of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, President Tuttle of the Boston & Maine And Samuel H ‘Boston & Albe) o'clock.” W. B, Chamberlain, general m: ager of the eastern division of the New Haven road, also was admitted into the executive chamber, These gentlemen were with the governor for an hour and a half. In the meantime & number of the labor leaders who had been holding conferences with the State Board of Arbitration at Jabar headquarters, arrived and were taken into the council chamber. For an hour thé governor had alternate in- terviews between employer and employe. During these conferences Secretary Earley of the Clvic federation came Into the walt- ing room and saw the governor. He was accompanied by Frank P. Sargent of Cleve- lend, president of the Brotherhood of Loc- omotive Firemen, and George B. McNeill of this city. Mr. Earley sald that he had attended a weeting of the longshoremen during the afterncon and spoke there with Mr. Sa gent and Mr. McNell, The meeting was & hot ome, but at the close the men all voted to sustain the offcers and return to work. The several conferences ended early this evening, the men leaving. The governor granted an interview with the newspaper men. He said: very much more en- YT all argeed to e back as many m ble 'hhollt dllcrlmln-llon s flr je steamship lines are concerned, I un- d.rlllu the men have returned.

The ques- HHon of joading and unigading of the teame, while it came up incidentally today, w not'very much discussed. It will be taken up next w Efforts to Get Men Back. | The governor further said that both Pres- ident Tuttle and the Boston & Albany offi- elals had ueed every effort to get the men back.
