NOT T0BUY SUGAR
UNTIL PRICES DROP
Hoarding by Spectators
Charged by Manufacturers
Representative.

NEW YORK. May 21 (by the AS
sociated Press).-The National Pre-
servers anu Fruit Products Associ-
alton has announced here that its
members will stay out of the sugar
market until the price of sugar comes
down from its present high level. The
association claims to represent 50 per
cent OF the manufacturers of the coun-
try who make jams, jellies and pre-
serves.
| '"rhe so-called shortage of sugar
does not exist" read a statement by
Marcus Blakemore, president of the
available supplies with the help OF
the Department of Justice and repre-
sentatives of the refining industry.
Present prices represent pure infia-
| ton. caused through koardings by
sugar SPECTATORS" He said that with
ceived in this country and the
amounts contracted for and available
on the Cuban marke' an excess of
more than 100000 tons over last
years total consumption is in sight.
| Used Less Sugar Last Year.
| Last year. with a government-fixed ed
price OF cents pound. we did not
use nearly as much sugar as we have
available this year." Mr.. Blakemore
declared. And this year. owing to
the condition of foreign exchange and
transportation conditions. the demand
| for export is much smaller. The net
result is that there is plenty of sugar.
but the public has been scared into
paying the exorbitant and outrageous
prices by the spectators. WHO have
shouted Shortage" and held their stocks
for still higher prices"
Mr.. Blakemore said that, he and
other members Of the association had
been surprised by the amounts OF
| sugar they found stored up in the
country.
Thought There Was Real Shortage.
when we started this investigation
we thought, as every one did, that
there really was shortage. Our
purpose was to discover where the
sugar was, so we could buy it for
Iuse in our business When we dis
covered the facts. we cabled q meet
ing of the association.
Out of about sixty members, rep
|resenting IS per cent of the JAM
jelly and preserve industry in the
country, more than forty-five came to
New York.
1 Our action was unanimous. After
the members heard our report OF
conditions they voted unanimously to
refuse to purchase sugar until pres
! ent high prices are cut in two. We
will close down our factories after
using up the supply we now have If
the spectators refuse to listen to
treason
