Not in Spreckels Line to Fight Trust, Becomes Bluff
A San Francisco World report and sugar brokers argue Claus Spreckels and the sugar trust will avoid a head to head clash. Prominent refiners dispute plans for a $40,000,000 syndicate to build a large refinery and lower prices. The piece traces Spreckels’ past deals, subsidies to railroads, and warnings that any tariff changes could reshape costs across the Pacific slope. The New York World summarizes Spreckels denying a real battle, while stockholders await outcome of trust moves in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
