New York, July 1s.-Washington b
Thomas, eK-president of the American

investigation of the methods of the so
called Sugar Trust.
Mr. Thomas said public opinion had
changed since the late II. o. Have
meyer was president of the company
and ran il AS a captain rules ship
He told of the warfare between the
company and its chief rivals. the
Arbuckles and the Spreckles and ex-
pressed the opinion that these compe-
titors ceased their opposition because
they got tired of losing money"
Mr. Thomas admitted that the Amer
lean Co., after buying the stock of the
Baltimore Refining Co.. closed the re-
finery there and shipped the machinery
TO New Orleans, where labor was
cheaper.
After acquiring the Mollenhauer

Hardwick. did not Mr.. Havemeyer,
James H. Post representing other re-
fineries, and one or two other men,
meet and agree TO limit the output of
sugar and its price,"
Not that I know Of Mr. Have
meyer did not tell the directors all
that he did,
In reply TO further questions the wit.
ness said that the American owned much
of the preferred stock of the National
Sugar Refining Co but no common stock
that the present suit to invalidate the
common stock of the National Co. would
greatly enhance the value of the pres
ent stock and that the American Co. was
in sympathy with" the suit
Regarding the fight with Arbuckle, Mr..
Hardwick asked:
Did Afbuckle and Havemeyer have a
conference just before the war was end
ed?"
Yes, and We went out of the coffee
business
And Arbuckle has been following your
sugar prices since?'
Yes, he makes his prices the same as
ours

the terms of settlement. 1t has been said
that only two men know what those
terms We're, Mr.. Arbuckle and Fl. O.
