Refiners Who Have Been Forced to Re- pay Government $3,500,000 For Frauds Now Demand Elimination of Growing Farm Industry. For the first time in the quarter cen- tury that the sugar trust has been in existence its domination over the sugar market of the United States has been broken this year, temporarily at least, according to trade experts. This re- sult has been accomplished, no by gov- ernment prosecution or thr8lirgh the competition of other refiners, but by the increase in the market supply of sugar grown by American farmers and manufactured in the seventy-three beet sugar factories weltered from Ohio to California. The production of beet sugar during the present year (1912-13) was much larger than at any time since the cul- tivation of sugar beets w l is taken up by American farmers. 1 1*... output Is estimated at 700,000 tons, or enough to supply the trade demands of the popula- tion of all the states west of the Misfits- itippi if it were confined entirely to that section. The coming of this sugar upon the market and the sharp compe on of the beet sugar manufacturers a lig themselves put down prices 7gh- out the central and western s e to a point at which the cane efi ers could not compete. For sever too ths domestic sugar was sold t ug out this territory at from 30 to I p4ts below the seaboard price o the im- ported product. Not only w the or- eign grown sugar driven of the west, but for the first Um./ t su ar actually invaded the New/ irk market and undersold the cane , duct und the very eaves of the t at refineries. Two of the big refiner s on the At- lantic seaboard closed ' entirely, and others were put reduced time. It is agreed by trade perts that the competition of the omestic grown beet product made sn r an average, of otherwise would hay will have the effect low throughout 191 Under examinati before the con- gressional commit e appointed to in- vestigate the sug industry E. F. At- kins, acting presi ent of the American Sugar Refining company, popularly known as the s r trust, declared that the refiners m operate at a loss dur- ing at least t e months of every year on account the competition of beet sugar and at this competition was becoming re severe every year. The other lea g refiners made similar ad- missio With the rapid increase in theou t of beet sugar the period dur- ing w h refiners are unable to con- trol / • ces and to operate at their usual pro ilgrows steadily longer and points to e time when they will be unable \I• er to earn high dividends on their avily watered stocks. It is this menace to their continue& domination of sugar prices throughout the United States, created by the rapid expansion of the home sugar industry, that has caused the refiners to open war on the beet growing farmers of Montana and other states and the manufacturers of beet sugar who get their supplies • from these farmers. With the admissions of the sugar 'beet growers and manufacturers themselves and statements of such agricultural au- thorities as ex -Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that it is impossible at the pres- ent time for American farmers and manufacturers, with the higher wages and higher prices for beets which they pay, to compete against the sugar of the tropics, grown by yellow and black labor, without a duty on the latter prod- uct, the refiners have adopted the policy of concentrating their efforts upon an attempt to secure the reduction or re- moval of this tariff duty in an attempt to destroy the home industry before it becomes fully established. To accom- plish this they have spread broadcast the claim that Audi a course will result In a saving to the consumer and have employed agents to induce people to write letters to congressmen advocat- vxwg- vr F r z-lr— tha e nerii\ propose 6) ma e this an attack in which no quarter will be offered to the - American farmer and Manufacturer Is shown by the fact that tflei are willing to forego the ad- vantage which they now derive irtittr being able to buy their raw suPplies from Cuba under the reciprocity act _MA,....third 14_ a, cent...a_ Pound cheaper - than they can be brou in fromltny other part of the world. For several years this addition to the excess duty of ta on refined sugar above the raw sr duty, has given them \in advanta over foreign refiners which made it impossible for the, latter to enter the American market. Not content with the advantages thus legally conferred upon them, however, both the sugar trust and the so called independent re- finers resorted to numerous devices to cheat the government out of the reve- nue due it under the law. The full amount of these frauds never has been divulged, but under the spur of federal prosecutlion nearly $8,500,000 Was re turned to the government, and * suit Is still pending agai6at the Feder's!

In addition to the millions which they have piled up dur- ing a long period of /profitable opera- tion, the friendly understanding that exists among them and the filet grip which they have on the American mar- ket, aside from the competition afford- ed by the domestic beet sugar Indus try, they would still I bnjoy advantages over foreign refiners in purchasing sup- plies from Cuba wert duties removed entirely. The grovin of sugar beet growing and beet sugar manufacture Is the only factor in the situation that they cannot control, and witil the re- alization that the farmers Of Mon- tana or a number of other stated could easily produce all the sugar required by the American people they are bending every energy to induce congress to assume the responsibility of crushing out this dangerous rival and restoring them once more to a po- sition of cotuplete domination over the sugar supply of the American people. Following the year 1891, when raw sugar was made duty free, the sugar trust increased its dividends from 4 per cent to 21% per cent and in the next seven years not only paid out $48,500,000 in dividends, but also ac- cumulated a surplus of $50,000,000, WAtES AND PRICES. ,Sugar Beet Farmers and Workers Much Higher Rates Here. The difference between the condi- ons under which beet sugar is _pro- uced in the United States and Ku= ope is strikingly shown by a report ust published as a United States Ben- te document. Summarizing 117 re- rts from various European countries; t document shows that 65 cents a d was the highest rate earned by working In the European beet filds, while 46 cents was the average e. In all the European countries, ever, the greater part of the field r is done by women and children ages ranging. from 10 cents a day children in Russia to 36 cents a for women in Denmark. To these laboreifi_the $2.60 a day, which sents de average earnings of field kern in the United States, must ap- pe i a princely income. mong the factory workers engaged In beet sugar production the difference Is equally striking. The men working own in the factories of the great European sugar making countries, France and Germany, receive an average daily wage of 84 cents, according to official figures published by their own govern- -lewee-tittta -it-- - raestm- - The-average-American-wage-- been and that It for employees in the beet sugar fac- f keeping prices tortes, $2.99 a day, is more than three times as great. Likewise the farmers who grow the beets In Europe receive only $4 to $4.50 a ton for their crops, although they pay four to five times as much rent for their land as the American farmer does. While these figures serve to show why it is that Europe can produce sugar cheaper than the United States and why the present tariff on foreign sugar Is necessary to enable American factories to continue these high rates, It is an interesting fact that the only important country of Europe where the people are able to buy sugar cheaper than in the United States is England. Even in England the price paid for the sugar most generally used Is as high as the prices paid here. On the whole the lot of an American sugar beet grower or worker must be con- sidered far preferable to that -of his European competitor. ii la at to da rep wo THE Bk11.41IND EMPIRE' TRUST WARS ON U. S. PRODUCERS Contrite Market Threatened by Beet Industry, COMPETITION CUTS PRICES, A , • Get HOW TO GET CHEAP SUGAR. Beet Growing Will Result In Big Sav- ing to Consumers. Mr. W. P. Willett, who is recognised as the greatest statistical expert on sugar in the country, is authority for the statement that the competition of OA' domestic beet product lowered wholesale sugar prices an average of half a cent a pound during 1912. More- over, he estimates that instead of being off the market by the first of the year, as is usually the ease, 60 per cent of the entire beet sugar crop was carried over into the present year end that it , - will exercise an infiuence.ln ) the direc- tion of lower prices throughout 1913. - It is a familiar phenomenon in the sugar trade that wholesale prices go down every year when beet sugar comes upon the met and that price go up again as soon as the beet sugar is disposed of and the big seaboard re - Boers of imported sugar are again -in -- control of the situation. During the -Hardwick committee's In - examination of Mr. Willett as to the best means of Insuring a permanent supply of cheap sugar for the Ameri- CIA consumer brought from him the l ia dinission that the only way to aecom- moio i this was to encourage the beet euga industry to develop as rapidly as 'possible. Competition Lowers Prices. Excepting domestic beet sugar, prac- tot. all sugar consumed by the Amer - *An people is purchased as raw sugar by the Y6ur seaboard refining concerns, Which fix the price Consumers must pay for their refined product. All domestic beet sugar leaves the factory ready for the table and °ohm; into direct competi- tion with the product of the refiners of foreign gaw sugar. During the three o ivelaonths in which domestic beet anger is marketed the competition it creates compels the refiners to reduce their prices or withdraw from the mar bet. If there Were no domestic beet' sugar the price of sugar would be lather during three to five months of each year, and if more beet sugar were produced the price of sugar would be *weir throughout the year.--rthinatle DOOMIMItt SOL aldriatmilli Chmerma. • ‘err —anis * '= ; '7\ 1 '• vjf, • '. 1. :„1 • , r - 11111111111111 •••••••••,-... • sly I 10 : '1A \Where tile iighcitig T1 ouZ.
