resentRtives OF several rcnners, among

cluded in the witnesses and they
stirred up the oid-time strife between
producers and reHners.

rescntinS the growers. retoried that
the rciincrs had sought to get q grin
on the sugar industry and make tho
people pay for it
Earlier in the day the committee
had heard the request OF delega-
tion from Porto Rico for tariff on
sugar that would enable them 10 con-
tinue an industry. which they de-
scribed as basic in the life Of the is
land
Representatives of the beet sugar
interests are scheduled to be heard
tomorrow. Their appearance with n
few more refners. II Is planned. will
conclude hearings on schedule T.
Few OF the witnesses representing
either the producers or the manufac-
turers of raw cane sugar attempted
to suggest II specific rate OF duty. All
were content with asking the commit
tee merely to give them ample pro-
lection" The argument advanced was
that cane sugar was an important
addition TO the national sugar supply
and thereafter it's production should
be encouraged. Statement were made
to the effect that the industry would
die unless some protection were
granted.
The committee also heard Frederick
j. Bates, chief of the sugar division
OF the Federal Bureau OF Standards.
who urged n rcdraftinE OF the sugar
schedule so that archaic and old
fashioned methods" of asserting the
duety would be eliminated. Mr.. Bates,
who was called by the committee, de-
clared that the method now used was
adopted among the earlier tariff
schedules of the nations history. and
never had been changed.
The witness also suggested n pro-
hibitory tariff on rare sugars which
are used almost entirely in medical
work. %
