exercised by means Of an alleged
blacklist, said to have been main
| tanned by the secretaries bureau.

such wholesalers and manufacturers
As violated the retailers rule, for'
bidding the direct sale to the con

With Mormon Company.
Ex-BIsHoP CUTLER Tss7IFIEs
Control Of 4s5,o5o Shares Of Utah
Idaho Company Rests In AmeFi-
can Sugar Refining
Company.

washington, June 23.--Inquiry into
the relationship between the Mormon
church and the American Sugar her
flning company disclosed that Henry
o. Havemeyer's first dealings In the
beet sugar industry were with the
Utah Sugar company, In which the
Church Of Jesus Christ and the Latter
Day Saints were interested. Thomas
H. Cutler Of Salt Lake City, vice
president and general manager OF the
Utah.Idaho Sugar Refining company
and former bishop Of the Mormon
church, said that, Of the approximate
ly Se,5OO,00O paid up stock OF the
aUtah.Idaho company, the American
Sugar Refining company controls w.
65O.O5O, or 4e5,060 shares.
Mr. Cutler, in giving the history OF
the beet sugar industry in Utah. said
the Mormon church became inter
ested frst by indorsing notes OF the
original company and purchasing
bonds and that 1t was later induced
to buy stock. In reference to Henry
o. Havemeyers connection with the
case, Mr.. Cutler said, Mr. Havemeyer
approached him first and asked that
he assist the American Sugar Re
tining company to establish beet sugar
plants.
The Committee concluded the ex-
animation Of Charles B. Warren, pres
ident Of the Michigan Sugar Refining
company. Regarding negotiations as
to the Philippine tariff, Representa-
tive Fordney Of Michigan explained
that he and others in congress had
conferred with Mr.. Taft prior to his
inauguration. He said the compromise
limiting the importation Of Philip
pine sugar free Of duty to 100000
tons, in the Payne-Aldrich law, was
consented to by the beet sugar peo'
pie Of his and other sections OF the
country.
"Mr. Taft agreed to 1t and was
very anxious for such a compromise"
said Mr.. Fordney.
Mr.. Warren told the committee that
In consolidating the six Michigan con-
Germs the combined companies had
produced sugar cheaper and had sold
1t cheaper to the consumer.

The present wholesale prices here are
