DEFENSE OF TRUSTS.
Is Continued by Havemeyer Before
the Sugar Committee.


darlington, June 21.-Elaborating
his defense of trusts and the combina-
lions of sugar companies, Horace
Havemeyer, son of the late H. o.
Havemeyer. organizer of the so-called
sugar trust today continued his tes-
timony before the house sugar commit
tee.
The witness limited his approval,
however, to reasonable combinations. .
He declared that combinations were
reasonable when they took in small
compaies that were liable to go into
bankruptcy. He classed the National
Sugar Refining company, of which he
is seeking in the courts to establish his
control. as reasonable"
Mr.. Havemeyer again expressed a be-
lief that the consumers of sugar had
benefited by the creation of combina-
tons because the producing cost had
been reduced. In response to Repre-
sentative Fordney the witness said the
consumer certainly was paying no
more for sugar than he did before the
combinations.
THE price of sugar is governed by
the law of supply and demand de-
claCed Mr.. FIavemeyer.
England is the cheapest place in the
world in which sugar may be pur-
chased, the witness said.
Why is that; because of free trader
