Washington, Feb. 19.-The Hard
wick sugar trust" investigation com.
mittee, after many weeks of open
hearings here and in New York and
almost continuous work since last
May, reported to the house that a
sugar trust exists. The report, which
ts signed by all the members of the
committee, Republicans as we'll as
Democrats, makes no recommendation
whatever rs to how the alleged trust
and those responsible for 1t shall be
dealt with. suggesting that this phase
Of the situation is one to be handled
by standing committee of the house.
AS to the effect of the combine on
the cost Of sugar to the consumer the
committee expresses the belief that
monopoly keeps the price up, but
makes no attempt to fix accurately
the extent to which reasonable prices
that might exist under competitive
conditions are exceeded.
The report severely condemns the
original promoters of the sugar trust,
but describes the 10000 present own

Refining company as innocent pur-
