In the course of the fraud prose
cutionS against the sugar trust it
has developed that the weighers
employed by the trust in New York
receive from $25,ooo to $4,000
each per year, and it is charged
that these weighers employ devices
to show underweight of importa-
tions resulting in cheat on the

pay such salaries to its weighers
unless these weighers were "earn-
