A committee of the New York leg
islature is carrying on extensive in
quiry into trusts, the sugar trust, the
coal trust. the oil trust. and others
being in turn, examined. The exam
ination has brought to light some
things seemingly misunderstood by
many Prior to the formation of the
sugar trust, the investigation has
shown, the sugar refining business in
this country was carried on by about
one hundred individuals. The pres
ent corporation, or trust. which does
over three-fourths of the refining bus
iness in this country embraces nine
thousand shareholders. Thus it
seems that this particular trust has
diffused rather than concentrated
capital. The investigation further
showed that there is no reduction in
the labor force and that wages paid
are 10 per cent higher than before
the formation of the trust. 1t is also
true that sugar costs the consumer
less now than formerly While trusts
are not to be defended, it may be
they are not such monsters. crushing
the life out of the common sugar tit
sucker as we have been led to believe
by the campaign orator of the calam-
ity order.
