Salt Lake City, Utah. Agreement has been reached by the officials of the Utah state farm bureau and the Utah-Idahand Amalgamated Sugar " companies on the sugar beet contract for 1922. The decision reached met the approval of both parties, and deer the way for a normal production of beet sugar In the state this year. The contract accepted la based on the prlnlcple of the sliding scale, tinder which the farmer's price for his beets will depend upon the price received by the manufacturers for the sugar, division being made on a basis of extraction in the ratio of 64.8 per cent to the fanner and 88.5 per cent to the manufacturers. Except aa to the price, which gives the farmer a somewhat greater return for hie beets (has did the 1921 contract, the bargain entered is substantially the same.

Warning that the fel oral government would tolerate no use of violence to prevent coal production during the threatened coal strike was issued Thursday by Attorney General Daugherty. Waahington. Labor will drain its treasuries and fight to the last ditch to protect and provide relief for the 600,000 cnal miners scheduled to walk out April 1, If that Is found necessary, James Lord, head of the American Federation of Labor mining department, predicted here Thursday. Union labor considers the present coal situation one of the most Important industrial battles in its history. Lord, In an exclusive Interview with the United Press, charged: Wall street is financing the strike and wants It. The uncompromising attitude of the operators reveals their decision to tores a suspension of work. The whole matter Is an operators' eonsplracy to raise coal prices and hoodwink the public. Cleveland A possible serious break In the ranks of the United Mine Workers threatened to disrupt the organization as the members of the mine policy committee gathered here for their opening sessions. The committee of 116 members was called to formulate plans for conducting the mine tleup, scheduled to start at midnight March 31. Possibility of a split was seen by union lenders In the threat of Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois district, that he and his followers would Insist upon single state wage negotiations with operators, strongly opposed by International officers of the miners. Privately it was stated In some quarters that Farringtons demands are based largely on questions of Internal union policy. The Illinois leader assailed Lewis personally for what was termed premature" calling of the strike. . Farrington believed this order should have been withheld. Nevertheless, Farrington's proposed stand Is not regarded lightly because of the large following he controls, the niinols district being the largest In the union.

Passed Thursday by a vote of soldiers by the house 333 to 70, the bonus bill was made ready Friday for the senate. What would happen to it there was regarded as problematical, but house proponents proposed to use every effort to prevent It from being shelved, as was the original bonus measure. In a long debate which preceded the final vote in the house, some speakers predicted that the 'senate would kill the bill, while others apparently were not as to the chances of Its passage in its present form, whatever its ultimate fafe, it appeared fairly certain that the bill would slumber for quite a While at the other end of the Capitol, where already the calendar ia congested with treaties and annual supply bills with the permanent tariff bill yet to be reported.

This was the exiom on which B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts unions, based his plea for workers Tuesday before the United States railroad labor board. emFigures comparing railroad ployes expenditures for food with minimum requirements for bare subsistence as worked out by Professor M. E. Paffa, food specialist of the University of California, showed that railroad mechanics In 1921 were able to purchase but 64 per. cent of the meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary for maintenance of their families at the lowest level of safety, Mr. Jewell said. High wages rather than a further cut, were urged on the board by Mr. Jewell In his fight against the 10 per cent slash proposed by 205 roads now before the board. Wages, he asserted, were the life blood of the nation and reduction of wages means reduction of nourishment to the bodies of citizens. "The railroad industry does not today pay a living wage to the mechanics employed In its shops, said Mr. Jewell, "we have measured the average monthly earnings of men in the railroad shops by every possible standard and in every instance they are found wanting. The purchasing power of real railroad families are demonstrated by the analysis of 254 itemized monthly expense accounts. They are distributed over the country, but In no sense selected. The statements Include careful records of food and quantities bought. The average income of these families amounted to 81935.50 of which 8140.00 came from other than railroad wages being usually secured from boarders. The average expenditure was 819.89.64. The income from railroad falls short of nearly 8200.00 a year of the actual amount which these families spent. With prices prevailing during the year of 1921, mechanics In railroad shops were able to purchase about 64 per cent of the meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary to maintain their actual families at tha lowest level or safety," Mr. Jewell said.- - They were able, he continued, to purchase only food ; only 91 per cent of the necessary vegetables and fruits and only 71 per cent of the necessary butter, fats and oils.
