The
SUGAR TRUST
Senator 3 :. IN Claims People
Are R 4 Of Millions
Newspapers, declares, Are
Subsidized }. x Big Ads

Washington, May q .e so-called
sugar trust" was the subject of an
attack in the senate today by Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, who sent to the
secretary's desk denunciation of the
trust published yesterday in local
newspaper.
This account, said Owen, points
out one of the most evI1 and insidious
consequences of the building up in this
country of a gigantic organization pro-
tected by the so-called tariff which has
lead to the poisoning the fountain of
information of the people of the United
States, so that millions of dollars have
been stolen from the people of the
United States.
This fact is not mentioned by the
leading newspapers Of the city of
New York, but on the contrary, full
page advertisements of the American
Sugar Refining Co. appear in lieu of
the truth which ought to be made
known to the people of the United
States.
Consequently he asked to have the
newspaper attack read in order that
1T might appear in the record, which
was done.
