BEAT SUGAR MEN
AGREE TO EIGHT
CENTS FORSWEET
Producers of the Country
Come to Agreement With
The Food Administration.
Distributing Plan Will Be
Worked Out.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Beet SUI
gar producers in conference with the
food administration today reported a
unanimous agreement under which
the stable retail price of sugar will be
about eight cents pound. They will
sell to wholesalers at eastern refining
points at IA cents a pound, cane
basis, and the retail price, it was stat
ed, would normally be not more than
ga cents higher.
International Committee.
At the same time, the food admins
tration announced that an information
al committee of five had been named
to arrange for the purchase and distri-
button of sugar needed by the United
States and allied countries. This
committee, acting through the food
administration under authority or
President Wilson's proclamation plac-
ing the sugar industry in this country
under license will control a large pro-
portion of the worlds sugar output.
American Members.
George NJ. Rolph, head of the food
ADMINISTRATORS sugar division; Earl
d. Babst, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, and William
A. Jamison of Arbuckle Brothers, are
the American members of the commit
tee. The allied nations are represent
ed by Sir Joseph White, and Sir James
D,.;A,
Distributing Plan.
Details of the sugar distributing
plan will be worked out by a food adj
ministratiOn commission consisting of
H. A. Douglas. Detroit; E. C. Howe,
Denver; w. H. Hannah. San Francis
CO; S. H. Love, Salt Lake City; w. II.
Petricken, Denver; S. w. Sinsheimer,
Huntington Beach, California; and w.
p. Turner. Detroit.
Cane Sugar Question.
Inclusion of the big Cuban cane SUI
gar producing in this allied distribut-
ing scheme will be discussed with the
food administration tomorrow by the
Cuban minister, DR.. Manuel de Ces-
pedes. Cuba's participation in the
plan is expected.
Producers Agree.
American cane sugar representatives
it is believed, will take action similar
to that of the beet sugar producers.
Most cane producers already have
agreed to IA cent price or its equiv
alent but this is not regarded as final.
The objections of about 10 per cent OF
the beet sugar men were the compos-
ed at a conference tonight
Effective October 10.
The new sugar price will become eff
fective in the west, October 10, when
the 1917 crop reaches the refineries
and in the east aboht two weeks later.
The present price of beet sugar to
wholesalers is about S.4 per cents a
pound.
Action Is Patriotic.
This patriotic action on the part
of the beet sugar producers of the
United States" said a food admins
tration statement tonight, demon
strates conclusively the value of this
industry to the country in coming for
ward with new prices at time when
sugar naturally would be selling at
much higher levels"
