ARRUCKLE'S MANAGER TALKS
Thinks His People Can Keep up Fight
in Sugar.

Washington. June 15.-The Industrial
Commission held only an afternoon sas-
SION anu heard but one witness today
J. \. Jarvie. of the firm of Arbuckle
x brothers. and manager of the firms S
sugar refining business.
MI. Jarvie put the necessary margin
between raw and refined sugar at be-
tween fifty and sixty pounds to allow IL
profit on the business. He said when
his firm started business in 1893 this
margin WAS about 80. II had droppcd
as low as 80 and was now about so.
He explained the entrance of the Ar
buckles into the sugar field by saying
that in '93 they secured a machine for
weighing and packing sugar and IN
dertook TO sell package sugar to the
wholesale trade. They bought from
the American Refining Company, hut
found they could make no profit in that
way and so started their own refinery.
Mr.. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the sugar trust to settle
the differences with the Arbuckles but
they had all been made ''for stock Job
bing purposes, and consequently there
had been nothing in them.
Witness in speaking of the coffee bust
Hess III WHICH lHe American Sugar Ke-
fining Company had invaded the Ar
buckles field, said that while there hal
been a decline in prices it would
not be fair to lay it all to competition
as there had been a great increase in
coffee production all over the world.
last years crop going from 100000
to 15.0G0.000 bags.
Asked if he could suggest any plan
that would lessen the present destructive
competition in the sugar business. wit
ness said that the fight could only stop
when the one big concern decided to
be content with less than 100 per cent
of all the business i'm the country.
When asked how long the rival com
panies could keep on selling sugar at
loss. Mr.. Jaryie replied cheerfuliy that
he thought a concern supplying 80 per
cent of the sugar sold in this country
would lose more under those conditions
than the firm supplying the other 10
per cent. and that he had the 10 per cent
end of the bargain now.
