ing Beet Sugar Business.
THEY KNOW WHAT is NEEDED
FUTURE CONTINGENCIES TO BE
PROVIDED FOR.

n HICAGO, May 1.-THE c0nsideTa-
ton Of questions relating TO the
freight rates on sugar that are
likely to materially affect the home
product of that commodity was begun
today at a meeting of freight traffic
officials of the railroads centering IN
Chicago and connecting with Chicago
lines
The meeting was called at the request
Of one of the transcontinental lines
which has along its branches many Of
the best beet sugar factories of the
west 1t was announced that the object
of the meeting was to readjUst the pro-
pOrtionate rates on sugar imported
through the gulf ports AMI Atlantic and
Pacific ports as they relate to the rates
on the beet sugar made in the west
and shipped to the Mississippi valley
for market
The Market Is East.
The beet sugar industry west of the
Mississippi river has been built up in
Nebraska. Kansas. Colorado Utah and
California principally. The surplus OF
the products Of the factories in these
states. seeks a market farther east 1t
is carried from the Pacific coast to the
Mississippi valley on the same trains
with the cane sugar which is imported
place where il is marketed il meets
the cane sugar from the gulf states
and the West India sugar imported
through the gulf ports and the Atlantic
coast cities.
1t has been matter for complaint on
the part of the beet sugar makers that
the rates charged or their product were
such that they were placed at dlSad-
vantage when they had to compete with
the cane sugar imported through the east
ern and southern ports.
Better Rates Promised.
The desire of the beet sugar makers
10 get more favorable rates, coupled with
the desire Of the railroad lines serving
the beet sugar region to assist in develop
ing this industry, which is traffic
maker. brought about the determination
10 try and readjUst the rates The result
OF the discussion. which took in the
whole range of sugar rates, import and
domestic, and in both directions toward
the central valley. is to be rate which
beet sugar factories of the west compete
with the cane sugar makers in the com
mon market.
Providing For the Future.
The desire to read5ust the rates now
is not 50 much because of the pressing
need of better comparative rate for
the beet sugar people, but in order TO pro-
vide against future contingencies The
sugar crop win not come on the market
make provision against possible national
legislation or lack of legislation which
may give to the importer from the
colonies a greater advantage over the
Traffic men representing eastern as well
as western roads are in attendance at
the meeting, which was called for the sole
purpose OF considering the sugar rates.
