urging farmers to ignore the threats
Of members of the Michigan Beet
Growers Association, who are said to
be planting their own acreage.
The latest notes containing threats
against farmers who have contracted
to grow and sell beets to the sugar
refineries Of the state came to the at
tention of the. authorities Saturday
where they had been tied to gate-posts
and mail-boxes. They read: "Either
quit planting beets and cancel all con-
tracts with refneries or your home will
be burned, your cattle killed, your ma
chinery destroyed and your wives and
daughters fixed We will tolerate the
presence of no Strike breakers in Sagi-
nav Valley"
The present trouble arose ouf of the
refusal Of the nine sugar refining
companies of the state to sign new
SOHCi aSVo WIittcH ny members OF the
Michigan beet growers association.
The association Of growers demands
a minimum price Of $12 ton and an
increase of $1.40 ton for each cent
increase in the wholesale price Of the
finished product. W. H. Wallace, gen
eral manager Of the Michigan Sugar
Company, says this would give farm
ers about $50 ton, or an increase of
90 per cent over last years, prices.
"lf we signed the associations con-
tract it would mean that before an
other year passed consumers would be
paying so cents a pound for beet
sugar." said Mr.. Wallace. 1--WE cannot
pay such exorbitant rates, nor can the
public afford to pay 80 cents a pound
for the commodity"
All efforts on the part Of the associ
alton to effect a compromise with the
retineries have proven futile, and the
rehners refuse to enter into confer
ence with its representatives.
