SAYLOR ARGUES SUGAR TARIFF PROTECTION BASED ON WAGES
Charles F. Saylor, sugar expert for the agriculture department, testified before Ways and Means subcommittees in Washington on the sugar tariff. He argued the tariff must be kept to protect the industry and allow American sugar workers to be paid high wages, comparing U S costs with 6 to 8 cent foreign labor. He said the math shows tariffs are necessary to prevent unsafe sugar flooding the market.
