FOUGHT AGAINST
THE SUGAR TRUST
ArbuCkIes' Representa-
tive Is Heard.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WHINING
TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, June 10
The Industrial Commission held only an
afternoon session and heard but one wit
ness to-day, J. n. Jarvie, of the firm Of
Arbuckle & Bro, manager of the firms
sugar refining business. Mr.. Jarvie's tes-
timony was brief He was easy and cour-
teous in his attitude toward his inquis-
itors, refusing to answer only one ques-
ton, viz: How much it cost his company
to refine sugar. He said he did not wish
to give information of that sort to his
business competitors.
Mr.. Jarvie put the necessary margin be-
tween raw and refined sugar at between
80 and 60 points 10 allow profit on the
business. He said that when his firm
started business in 1898 this margin was
about 80. 1t had dropped as low as ~ and
was now about 80. His firm, he said, had
never cut the price of sugar except TO
meet the rates Of the American Sugar
Refining Company, commonly known as
the sugar trust. When asked If the Ar
buckles would continue to meet their ri
vals figures he replied decisiyely that
his firm was in the refining business to
stay. Beyond that he did not wish to
say.
He explained the entrance of the Ar
buckles into the sugar field by saying that
in 1893 they secured machine for weigh
ing and packing sugar and undertook to
sell package sugar to the wholesale trade.
lney bought from the american tNtIlIllHS
Company, but found they could make no
profit in that way, and so started their
own refinery. He said the tariff dfferen-
tial of one-eighth of a cent pound on
refined sugar did not figure in the bust
ness just now. Domestic competition
was so sharp as to keep out all foreign
sugar Asked if the removal of the one
eighth of a cent would affect the bust
ness now. he said he did not know enough
about the foreign trade to say.
Mr.. Jarvie said there had been many
overtures from the sugar trust to settle
the difficulties with the Arbuckles, but
they had all been made for Stock-job-
bling purposes" and consequently there
had been nothing in them
Witness, in speaking of the coffee bust
ness, in which the American Sugar Re-
finery had invaded the Arbuckles field,
said that while there had 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 Il 100000 to 1900 900 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
the business in the country
When asked how long the rival COM
pany could keep on selling sugar at a
loss. Mr. Jarvie replied cheerfully that
he thought 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 just now.
