STARCH TRUST
IS UNDER FIRE
DURING DISCUSSION OF TARIFF
REVISION BEFORE A CONGRESS
sIoNAL COMMITTEE.
TRUST MAGNATE is PUZZLED.
He Cannot Explain Why His Company
Sells Corn Starch In England for
Less Money Than In the
United States.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The so.called
hearing on tariff revision Wednesday
before the house committee on ways
and means. The "cross-examination'
of J. B. Walton, representing the Corn
Products Refining Co., which. 1t was
claimed, monopolises the starch bust.
ness, formed the most interesting in.
cident.
Mr.. Walton admitted that his com.
pany sells corn starch in the United
Kingdom at price 40 cents less than
1t is sold in this country. He also ad.
mitted that there was loss in selling
corn starch in Great Britain.
Mr. Boutelle of Illinois wanted to
know why Mr.. Hill, member OF the
committee from Connecticut who is
interested in the manufacture of an
article requiring corn starch, could not
buy the starch in Great Britain at
1925 a hundred, pay the ocean freight
of ten cents and secure delivery OF the
article at saving of 30 cents over the
price demanded in the home market.
Where does the 30 cents go?"
"The committee can understand why
you desire a protective tariff" said
Mr.. Gaines of West Virginia to the
witness, "but we want to know why
you should have It. You are selling
your product in Great Britain, free
trade country, cheaper than here, but
you want protection here"
why don't the American consumers
go to London to buy their corn
starch?" inquired Mr.. Bonynge Of Col.
orado.
To these and similar questions, Mr.,
Walton was evidently at loss for a
reply.
Serene e. Payne, chairman OF the
committee and stand patter," sup
piled the answer for Mr.. Walton.
"The sales of your products have
been falling off In this country for
some time past" said Mr.. Payne, land
you are selling at loss abroad in or

A FIGHT FOR
4 FREE SCHOOLS
IN ST. PIERRE, MloUELoN, LEADS
TO TALK OF ANNExA.
TION.
BYUNCLE SANS GOVERNMENT
Supporters Of the cleries! Party Broke
the Windows In the Govern.
ment School House at
ST. Pierre.

Sc. Johns, N. F., Nov. 19.-The agita.
tion in St Pierre, MIC. over the ques.
tion of free schools continued Wednes.
day, but the crowds parading the
streets were orderly. Many OF the
agitators talked of uniting the colony
with the United States, contendng
that such step would mean not only
civil and religious liberty for the pop.
ulation, but would revive the fishing in.
dustry.
Tuesday night while large mum.
ber OF the clerical supporters were
parading, the windows of the govern.
ment school house were broken by
stone throwers and there was a demon.
stration against Judge Sigfried who
imposed a 5000 fine upon the school
teachers for keeping the schools open.
Judge Sigfried's residence was made
the target for stones and when he ap.
peared at the front of the house stones
were hurled at, him and he was hooted
by the. mob Other officials received
similar treatment. Fearing further
disturbances the administrator en-.
rolled large staff of officials to as.
sist the gendarmes in preserving the
peace.
In spite of these precautions. the
demonstrations proceeded unchecked
throughout the evening. About mid.
night the administrator addressed the
agitators and their followers, urging
them to remain quiet and abstain from
any further demonstrations until word
could be received from the minister OF
the colonies. This advice was accept.
ed and the crowd dispersed. Some of
the agitators declared that If the
answer of the government to their de-
mands is in the negative, the move to
secure annexation by the United
States will receive strong impetus
The movement for the establishment
Of free clerical school was started
by the Catholic Bishop Legas. He
procured from France as teachers two
Catholic laymen. who arrived at st.
Pierre in September last. After wait
ing for two months for a permit from
the island government for the opening
OF the school, the teachers decided to
open without it. Their arrest and the
disturbances by the people followed.
