Washington, July 15.-John Dymond.
cane planter of New Orleans, today
told the house sugar investigating
committee that the cane growers Of
Louisiana were absolutely at the
mercy of the American Sugar Refining
company. which bought the raw sugar
arbitrarily and paid its own price.
Dymond said there was now no COM

combination, he said, maintained an
armed truce"
Representative Jacoway said 1t had
been suggested that the Louisiana
Cane Growers association was very
closely associated with the American
Refining company. and that the grow
ers were in combination to sell only
to the trust"
Dymon recited one case in which
he said the trust" had disciplined a
large grower by refusing to buy his
products. He said that there were
now only two refining companies in
Louisiana and that it had been mat
ter of cruiosity why the trust had
allowed one independent plant to con-
tinue in operation.

the men failed to move, and when he
