Spreckels Testimony Linked to Sugar Trust Conflict
Claus Augustus Spreckels heads the Federal Sugar Refining Co and testified before a congressional committee on the sugar trust. He produced letters suggesting Sherman Act violations after its enactment. The tale ties his clash with the American Sugar Refining Co to a family rift and notes his civic role in San Francisco reform. George W. Perkins and the International Harvester Co. figure in the broader trust consolidation. Perkins, a Chicago native aged forty nine, chairs finance and serves as director.
