22 Nations Join in Seeking
-Five-Year Plan to Stabilize
Huge Industry.
By the Associated 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
jpomic 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
ere 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.
Japan declined to send a delegation,
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 1931, when
a five-year agreement was reached to
dispose of great accumulations and
I 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 Disposes of
$155,072.21 Estate.
Disposing of an estate valued at
$155,072.21. the will of Mrs. Beatrice
Yakel Platt, who died December 10,

PITTSBURGH, April 2 —Officers of

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.”

Mellon emphasized that his de
cision to close the farm would not af
fect the Rolling Rock Country Club,
where many socially and financially
prominent golf and relax.
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 the hunt cut
down our fences if they’re in the road
and they’ll run over a wet field with
50 or 60 head of horses.”
Richard K. Mellon is a nephew of
Andrew W. Mellon, former Secretary
of the Treasury.
