TO MAKESUGAR DEAR
The Great Protected Truse
Closes Its Refineries.
SAYS IT CAN MAKE NO PROFIT.
Havemeyer Says the Law OF Which He
Was One of the Authors Ruined
Business-He Is PessimIstic.

New YORK, Nov. 2S-0rders were is
sued today from the headquarters OF the
American Sugar Refining Company, in
Wall street, TO shut down completely all
the reineries of the company in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia. Fifty thou
sand operatives will be affected by the
closing of the sugar works. President II.
o. Havemeyer, OF the American Sugar
Refining Company, said today:
THE sugar business has been bad for
some months past. We have been hoping
against hope all along. and tried TO weather
through the period Of depression, trusting
that business might improve and that
we would soon be made TO run
our works to their fullest capac-
ity, but everything was against US.
The reaction that followed the passing of
the tariff law brought about duh season,
and the war among the Wholesale grocers
in several sections of the country
still further tended to democrat
ice trade. When to this was added
the excitement of national canvass
pass free sugar bill, making all sugars
free you can readily see there was enough
cause 10 compel Us to shut down COM
pietely. But We ran our works up 20 the
present time with reduced force, in the
hope, Micawter-like, that something
hOAtn
"Our faith in the future has failed US
and, beginning tomorrow. We shall shut
down ail our works in Boston, New York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore. We cannot
do anything else We are sorry for our
men, and have been trying to ward it off
all along. but the truth is, we have
been running our works at a loss for
several months past Ii is time now 10
call halt. The last congress is respon.
sible for the present situation, and
II they pass the free sugar bill at
Washington City. as it Is reported they
will. they will Kill the sugar industry
completely. Things cannot be made worse
than they are noH. There is very little
difference between the prices OF raw and
refined sugar. and there is no reason
or justice in continuing business
at - heavy loss. We must either
have enough profit 10 cover the bald
expenses of carrying on sugar refining. or
else go out OF the business completely We
cannot compete with the wages paid in
Europe, and our men could not begin to sun
port themselves and their families at purh
figures. Yet we are asked 20 run our e.-
Enlistment with only the margin in refln-
ing that 10 I'd be found between the cost OF
ras and refined sugars. which is now
lie less than half cent pound
No, the only thing for us 20 do IS To
shut down completely until there is mar
ket for our goods, and until We can see our
war TO pay expenses. And can see moth
ing cheering Or reassuring in the outlook
al the present moment"
