When Claus Spreckels announced that he
would fight the great sugar trust, single
handed, every one p%rophesied that he would
come to grief in spite OF his millions. Now
the first victory for Spreckles in the fight
must be recorded. When the trust was
formed the officers began to corner both
refined sugars and the raw product. Now
the ~refiners find that they nave largely over
sold refined sugars; that the raw product is
beyond their reach, and they are obliged to
send to Europe for raw material. Some time
G Mr.. Spreckels contracted for so, 1000 tons
of raw sugar from Manila, and on this trans

realize $4,000, 900. 1t was reported that
Claus Spreckels had joined the sugar trust,
but his son denies it, inc says Spreckels is
just getting into good fighting trim.
