Protest of Northern Farmers Against Companys Scale Prices
Northern farmers protest against cane price scales used by four mills led by Goondi. They argue new scale cuts earnings for northern growers while southern concessions persist. They cite a January 1907 letter from the general manager detailing shift in per cent-based pricing and fault the scheme A terms and mill costs.

Injustice in Cane Payment Scheme Demands Equity
General manager warned about a sugar price scheme that favors central mills over northern ones. Farmers argue eight tons must equal one ton of sugar, while seven or six tons yield lower payments, showing inverted value beyond eight tons. Northern farmers face higher costs and remoteness, urging the company to devise an equitable payment.
