POWERFUL GERMAN COMBINE
TO COM VI THE SUGAR MARKET

plus the bounty, they are able lot only
to make up for this, but to reap n
handsome profit in addition to gaining
absolute control of the sugar market.
The kartell is run very secretly, but
from confidential reports shown to n
representative of the Associated Press
in London. II Is learned that it consists
of an ironclad combination of almost
all producers and refiners to keep up
the price OF sugar in Germany. This is
done so successfully that German con
sumers to-day pay as much for sugar
as the Briton does for the same article
imported from Germany.
The members of the kartell bind
themselves to buy from and sell to only
those affiliated with the combine. This
has worked so satisfactory hat the
kartell now includes ractically every
factor of the sugar interests in Germ
any from the agricul. Il producer to
the refiner. The latter agrees to pay
12.75 marks per hundredweight for the
raw article. although natural condl-
tons might ordinarily allow lin to
buy three marks cheaper. Inis, how
ever, insures Il permanently high price
to the consumer. The enormous prof
its consequent on these methods are
pooled in the kartell and are divided
upon an elaborate and ingenious scale
and the surplus product is disposed of
Mt n slight loss in European and Amer
lean markets. though eve this defic
is often made up by the bounty that
Germany provides.
British sugar authorities are quoted
as saying that the German kartell and
bounty combined, will, within two
years, ruin the beet n cane industry
in other countries. especially in Cuba
and the other West indies.

London, Nov. 23.-The British sugar
magnates assert that their ~investiga-
tions have revealed the existence in
Germany of II great trust called the
''kartell" which has been in existence
about II year, and that 1t is chiefly ow-
ing to its agency that sugar has been
forced down to it's lowest point in the
history of the industry, and that Ger
many to-day Is able to dictate to the
world the price of that commodity.
The exact extent of the "kartell was
discovered. they say, only quite re
Gently. The magnitude of its opera
tons supplies the missing factors in
the present alarming conditions of the
sugar market.
The abolition of this organization will
he one of the chief objects of the ma
tions other than Germany attending
the forthcoming Brussels conference.
Already British firms have entered into
negotiations with leading American
sugar interests. and tables are now be
ing drawn up showing the transac-
tions of the kartell with n view of sub
hitting them to the authorities ut
Washington. The British government
will be urged to empower its repre-
scntatives at the Brussels conference to
threaten retaliatory and countervail-
ing measures unless the kartell is bro
ken up or at least modified.
The latest figures available in Lon
don show that Germany now produces
Onc-third of the worlds supply of beet
sugar, Of which she exports no less
than 1,250,GcO tons. after completely
supplying her w population.
These exports, which are almost one
fifth Of the worlds available supply,
ARE sent out ut n loss to German manu-
faCturers, but thanks to the kartell

COLORADO MIDLAND is
BY G0ULl

Denver, Nov. 23.-The election Of
new board of directors of the ColOrai
Midland railroad, which took place
the annual meeting Thursday, is sal
to be especially significant for "
reasons. First, because 1t is appar1
that George Gould is in active cOntl
of the railroad, something which he1
tofore has been strenuously denij
and, second, because this alliance pni
ably will preclude any possibility oil
rate war and general antagonist 4
tween the Colorado x Southern and Y
Denver X Rio Grande, in which 1t VI
thought the Midland might be a strOj
factor.
The Colorado Midland has %ostensAi
been owned by the Rio Grande Westi
and the Colorado x Southern. \
Gould recently purchased the
Grande Western and the Colorado
Southern, and at the time of the
chase 1t was said that 1t included !
interest in the Colorado Midland
by that road. This was denied by u
Gould, who claimed that the Midii
property was in the hands of the /
Grande Western Construction C0Hi
ny. The Midland might have been uj
to fight Mr.. Gould's company had
not secured control of the road.
1t is probable that the election
the new board of directors will be
meal of eifecting II great m1
changes in the management Of the W
land. Colonel ID. G. Dodge and Ge01
Il. Peabody, who formerly were acII
in the management of the road,

it Is said that they will have no

rectors elected at Thursdays meet

Henderson, George j. Gould, Ed

The directors meet each THURSDAY

bic that when they meet a week ~
next Thursday they will elect Ira
Trumbull president of the Color

In the Victoria History of the Coun-
ty of Norfolk, England. the author
quotes a note concerning the cod. from
an old work on British fishes. which
says hat on a midsummer eve one was
captured in Lynn Deeps and brought to
the vice-chancellor of Cambridge. In
its stomach was found "a hook in three
treatises." The date of the discovery
was 1926. Can it be that the scarcity
of cod in the present year is to be ex-
planned by the fact that the fish have
been indulging in a literary diet, as
did their esteemed predecessor, and
with fatal effect? 4 few yellow"
journals may have been eaten by mis-
take.

There are many w"orkingmen in all
large cities who cannot remove to the
suburbs, who must remain in congest-

in a recent suggestion that some i'm

where tenements now stand. Such n
building, sheltering n thousand per
sons, perhaps, might be from twelve to
eighteen stories high. supplied with
elevators. steam-heated. fire proof and

a general laundry. on an upper floor n
hall for concerts. lectures and uusec-

would be n roof-garden which would
be also a playground for the children.
