Washington, Jan 2S.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings were resumed to
day before the ways and means COM
mittee, with delegations representing
the beet sugar industry of Colorado
and a number of Cubans. representing
the planters of the island, in attend
ance
F. NJ. Carey of Colorado spoke of the
development of the beet sugar indus
try of Colorado and its bright pros
poets, if not endangered by Cuban con-
cessions, which. he asserted. would re-
dOund to the great advantage of the
American Sugar Refining company.
The present movement, he said, was
only another chapter in the inevitable
conflict between the domestic sugar
producers of this country and the re-
fining company. the latter seeking to
crush the former.
A bubble which had been pricked, he
said, was that Cuba was suffering from
starvation. This idea had been indus
triOusly encouraged by the pamphlet
eering of the sugar company, and yet
the claim had been torn to pieces dur
ing these hearings.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois
questioned the witness as TO whether
any concessions to Cuba would injure
the beet sugar. industry. Mr.. Carey
declared that injury in such case was
inevitable.
Representative Hopkins said Mr.
Carey's assertion of injury to the beet
sugar industry was only an assump-
ton, and he expressed the belief that
a reduction could be made of a certain
percentage without destroying the beet
sugar industry. Representative Dali
Zell and Representative GrOsvenor took
part in the discussion, stating that the
injury TO the domestic producers had
been shown by this and other wit
nesses. Mr.. Grosvenor remarked that
anyone could see this result who could
put two and two together.

Cuban planters-Georg R. Fowler.
