"The season of the year has again

had come to the nations which had so
courageously struggled in defense of
human liberty and justice. Now that
the stern task is ended and the fruits
of achievements are ours we look for

SUGAR HE HM
Washington, Nov. 7.?Appeals of su
gar refiners in Cuba Tor coal were met
conditionally tonight through orders
Issued by the railroad administration's
central coal committee which modify
the original export coal embargo. Un
der the new regulations the Cuban re
finers will be permitted to buy co^l
here provided they sign agreemeptito
ship UMfr ettgjat production to this
country." ? ~
The sugar shortage in the United
States ftps admitted to hare been the
deciding factor In tfce discussion to
change the committee's embargo. Es
timates of the amount of coal required
by the Cuban refiners varied but offic
ials believed the amount would not be
sufficiently large to affect materially
the American coal stocks. Relief from
the sugar shortage obtained as a re
sult of the exchange now permitted is
expected to be felt in the next two
weeks.

EXTENSION OF FUEL CONTROL
ACT NECESSARY TO PREVENT
HIGH PRICES, ATTY -PEN
COMMITTEE/
Washington, Nov. 7.?Extension of
the Lever Food and Fuel Control law
for six months after the proclamation
of peace 1b necessary to protect the
country from high prices. Attorney
Oeneral Palmer today told the Hous?
Agriculture comirittee.'
"Unnatural oconomlc conditions/*
the Attorney Oeneral said would be
taken "advantage of by unscrupulous
people," to make prices high unless
the powers granted under the act are
continued Jn force. These conditions,
he said, prevailed throughout the
world.
More Necessary Now Than Ever.
"The conditions In the country im
mediately following peace make it evr
en more necessary that the law be con
tinued than the conditions that pre
vailed and led to the enactment of the
original act," said the Attorney Gen
eral.
"The act originally had for its pur
pose the increase of production and to
protect the people from war time con
ditions that result In very high prices.
Since the armistice prices have very
largely Increased and unless the gov
ernment control Is continued over
some commodities the after war condi
tions may result in higher prices than
during the?war itself."
Suggestions by committee men that
extension of all sections of the law was
unnecessary were answered, the At
torney Oeneral urging blanket exten
sion for he said unexpected "situation?
might arise," and that the mere exis
tence of the law would be of whole
some Influence.
"The main purpose of the extension
would be to stop profiteering," declar
ed the Attorney General.

THE REAL MENACE.
It is not organized labor which thre
atens the future of this country. Nei
talism.
Without organization Tabor would be
underpaid and underfed.
Without the capitalist there wrould
be no adequate avenues for the employ
ment of labor.
Both must survive.
But the menace with which we must
cope is the alien parasite who has fas
tened himself on organized labor and
is daily eating out the heart of the
great American republjc.
These radicals from other lands are
in a majority of cases nerf even citizens
of our country. They are not loyal to j
our institutions nor to the true inter
ests of the organizations to which they
have attached themselves.
They are alien agitators and destroy
ers?nothing more. They preach their
pernicious doctrines and pray upon the
susceptibilities of other* with the sole
idea in view of creating discord and
disruption for their "bwn individual ad
vantage. They wmild displace the In
telligent leadership of labor organiza
tions and usurp the scat of authority:
for themselves. And they are succeed j
ing In these nefarious undertakings to !
an alarmingly wonderfm degree.
Violence is Iheir only effective wea
pon. and this they employ to the limit
of their possibilities in their campaign 1
of brutality and intimidation.
They are shrewd agough. however,
to see that the responsibility for their
devllishness is laid at the tloor of or- j
ganized labor, and by this means es
cape the individual punishment which
Is their just due.
The American people Iinvo been bul
ly ragged by these aliens until patience

PUSH YOURSELF ALONG.
Some people sit through life waiting
for others to push them along.
If they are shoved aside in the scram
hie they are peeved. Tlietr talents
have not been- properly recognized.
If they are forgotten in the hurly
burly they become a grough. Th<
world Is topsy-turvy.
And so they drift along from one
year t<r "another;?peeving, -giwvling,
crouching through life to the doleful
turns of their own shiftless incompet
ency.
It's a mistake?the wrong perspec- j
tive of existence. Life is too short to
worry about the fellow who lags be
hind.
The man who won't push must ex
pect to be shoved.
Pushing is a great game. Tf gMs
you strmewhere. The harder you p*ish
the farther' you go, and If you push
' a.
hard enough and often enough and
long enough you can reasonably ex
pect to push yourself to the top.
Keep pushing, young man.
Push with a will and a purpose ami
with a definite goal in view. Set your
aims so high that it makes you dizzy
even to dream of them?and remembor
that only pushing will get you there.
You may not reach the pinnacle of
your desires, but you will climb to
heights which will stamp you a man of
men.
The pusher is a man of parts.
The laggard is but part of a man.
