INCREASE IN SUGAR
IMPORTS ATTACKED
U. S. Refiners Present Pleas
to Congress, but Find 0p-
ponents Ready.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 8.-Fourteen
of the II sugar cane refining COM
panies of the United States today are
asking Congress that the provision for
duty-free importation of $4,000 tons of
refined sugar annually be stricken out
OF the Philippine independence bill
pending before the Senate
The petition, according to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co., directs atten-
ton to the increase in refined sugar
imports from less than 1900 long tons
in 1925 to nearly 450, 900 tons in 1881.
Imports the first 10 months of 1892
were 100000 tons, of which nearly
$4,000 tons came from Cuba alone.
These 1882 receipts" the statement
continues, prevented domestic re-
finers from supplying the sugar needs
OF 1885 900 Americans, or the equiva-
lent of the entire actual consumption
for 10 months of 1881 of 81 States
Three domestic refineries are closed
and the remainder are working on part
time as result of this invasion of the
domestic market. The refiners claim
this is a correctable situation, as Con-
gress has control of the imports of the
Philippines, Puerto Rico. Cuba and for
eign countries, and that the Philippine
independence bill again brings our Co.
lonal policy before Congress for action
The refiners disclaim any desire to
hamper the raw sugar producers of the
Islands,
The American public is due to hear
lot about the sugar tariff this Winter,
according to H. H. Pike, jr, of H. H.
Pike & Co., sugar brokers, who takes
issue with some of the refiners' claims
las Nation we must import three
fourths of our sugar needs" he said,
because our mainland cane and beet
producers have never supplied more
than 100000 tons. The domestic re-
finers have developed a plant capacity
of so per cent in excess of maximum
consumption. This is a basic difficulty
which neither an additional tariff nor
any change in our colonial policy can
remedy.
1.-THE refining of sugar Is so highly
mechanical that it has virtually no eff
feet on American employment In the
boom year of 1929 all the refineries in
this country employed a total of 1890
workers, or fewer than the number of
men and women employed in a single
New York department store right now"
