PETTIGREW's AMENDMENT.
Some Republicans May Vote Against
the Trusts.

some Republicans Mny Vote Against
the Trusts.
Washington, June lot is Senator fct-
tterew's Intention to offer his antitrust
amendment to the tariff bill at the end OF
the sugar schedule and the manner OF It's
acceptance is beginning to be matter OF
special attention among senator's There
was some talk today of the necessity for
republican caucus to decide the position
that party in the senate should tn6e on the
proposition, which grew out Of we'll founded
reports that some republican senators had
announced their intention OF voting for the
amendment when presented in the senate.
1t is broadly limited that even In case a
caucus is hold and the decision of major
itv is agaiust the amendment there may be
etill some republican votes for It,
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire is
represented TO be among those who have
said they would support the provision by
their votes in opposition 10 the mandate OF
the caucus. There are a few other re-
publican senators who express themselves
MS inclined to follow personal inclina,ions
as to the amendment regardless o. party
action. Tho general opinion is that IN case
a caucus is held the verdict would be
AGAINST the amendment as presenting
subject for legislation AMI one
which shall be dealt with on It's own merits
and separate from the tariff.

statement made by him. he said would
show that under the tariff acts the profits
OF the sugar trust were large. The trust
never lost. All II wanted was sufficient
tariff TO keep out the foreign producer and
thea II had the American consumer at Its
mercy, to be fleeccd al Its sweet Will The
trust bad said they would be ruined by
any diffcreatial under one eighth OF cont
per pound, and yet they had thrived under
such a rate.
Mr.. Caffery then took up tho sugar pro-
duction Of his own State. While he had
been In the senate the sugar producers had
besieged him TO place n high tariff ON their
products. When the Wilson bill was con-
sidered be had voted for a duty OF 80 per
cent because sugar had not been recognized
as a legitimate revenue producing article.
No one up TO that time questioned that
sugar came within the strict letter az dem
ocratic doctrine OF a tariff for revenue.
But with this had grown UP many erro-
neous impressions as to the need of an ex-
cessive duty. Under a 30 per cent sd va
loren duty OF the law CT 1916 the produce
tion of sugar had Increased enormously
reaching 49h, 900 900 pounds A "a per cent
duty had shown like results. So he did not
believe a 100 per cant duty was necessary
to keep the Louisiana sugar industry afloat.
When 3 o clock was reached the bill was
laid aside.
