Havemeyer Defends Tariff Role in Trust System
Mr Henry C Havemeyer president of American Sugar Refining testified to the Industrial Commission, attacking tariffs as the mother of trusts and urging a 1 percent tariff or tax on sugar production. He argued tariffs favor Louisiana cane and Hawaiian growers, claimed the tariff costs the public $24 million, and said the sugar industry would adjust with capital and labor if left alone. He noted the company could be sold for three times capitalization amid clamor over trusts and discussed refinery capacity, competition, and stock ownership. He also referenced prices and Cuban sugar, and affirmed his continued participation in the coffee business.
