Attorneys for Cuban Growers
Claim Discrimination Against
v Them by Americans.
,s
Washington, I). C., July 9.
Attorney Wostcott, representing
the Cuban sugar growers, ap
peared before the Senate lobby
investigating committee and told
of the strangle hold, the Ameri
can sugar trust lrad on the Cu
ban growers anc^ how they dom
inated the Island sugar -industry.
The growers are forced to sell
at a figure named by the trust,
or the sugar is left at the wharf,
the cargo shipped is sent in old
and leaky boats, causing much
loss, is unloaded on wharves in
the states and allowed to remain
for weeks exposed to the weather
always causing a loss before the
railroads handle the shipment
for the growers or independent
refiners.
Every possible delay was made
from the independent grower to
the independent refiner in the
spates is made by the trust,
through its influence over steam
ship and railroad lines and the
loss to the Cuban grower is more
than the difference between the
price offered by the trust and the
price demanded by the growers.
Attorney Westcott will be al
lowed to bring witnesses to prove
his charges.
The Northwestern brought. Cl
sacks of miail for Valdez, which
is the largest, six clay mail ever
received here and kept the post
master and his assistants busy
sorting it.

ROMANIA MAY
FIGHT BULGARS
Eastern Warfare Most Brutal of
Recent Years—Intense Hatred
Between Armies.
London July <).—The Greeks
and Servians have been lighting
the Bulgarians, although no for
mal declaration of war has been
made, today, however, this little
formality was complied with,
and the war is now on in earnest.
The bitter fedling among the
former allies, caused by territor
ial greed, has caused them to be
very brutal and the old and young
are murdered. I he wounded are
uncared for, and are taunted by
the captors, unnecessary destruc
tion of life and properly has ta
ken place and (he war has devel
oped into a riot of murder.
Romania, which up |o the pres
ent time, lias not been involved
in the war, lias concentrated all
her available troops and will as
sist (he Servians and Greeks, in
lighting Bulgaria, because lliey
fear that, should King Ferdin
and be successful, lie would then
turn upon Romania and with bis j
victorious army, crush them al
so.
The concentration of a large
armyy oil I he northern border,
backed as it is believed in diplo
matic circles by Russia, may
cause Hie Bulgars to come to
time and make peace, as it is
not thought possible that Ihe^
will continue the war against
overwhelming odds, unless back
ed by Germany and Austria, in
which event, Russia would assist
Servia, Greece and the other Slav
countries.
England, France and Russia,
are believed, to have a complete
understanding and will work to
gether to prevent the rupture of
the peace of Europe.

ANOTHER STRIKE'
EASTERN MS
' ——~zTszm
Conductors and Trainmen Want
More Pay—Third Strike* in
the Past Year.
New York, .July 9.--One hun
dred thousand conductors and
trainmen on the eastern roads,
involving 45 lines, voted to strike
for higher wages, at the referen
dum vote taken yesterday.
The linal action will be taken
Saturday, when the executive
committee ot the union me'els
and they will then decide the day
on which the strike will start.
The liremen oil I in* same 45
eastern roads won their strike
for higher wages about a year
ago and the engineers then
struck and also received an in
crease in pay ad now the remain
ing forces of the railroad have
demanded higher salaries.
Tiie railroad officials have de
manded of the lioterstatec om
merce commission, right to raise
freight rates, as the increase in
ages has wiped out the profits of
the roads and it is expected that
a five per cent addition will bo
allowed.
The eastern slates have also
passed what is known as the fulf
crew bill, forcing the company
to have a certain number of men
on all trains, no matter if they
are needed or not and this has al
so added greatly to the burden
'of the roads, say the ollieers.
The union ollieials, however,
claim that the wages have not
gone up in proportion to the
amount of work now accomplish
ed by each man nor has it kept
pace with the increased cost of
living, therefor, they are forced
to demand more pay.
