with which 10 break the back 81
prontssrins: that he would keep the
sugar price down. The Cuban sugar
growers faced financial ruin. They
called on tho syndieafss Of prosits<rs
and got tho money for their crop.
A little later the Louisiana sugar
growers called on Palmer. They told
him their crop was short They
asked permission TO boost the price
10 II or 10 cents a pound. Palmer
guaranteed that II they DID he would
not prosecute them for prossecrtnx
Remember. he had Just promised the
people he would crush prontsering
