Sugar Trust under scrutiny and its public impact
The Sugar Trust, led by Havemeyer, faces sharp questions on legality and public welfare. The piece traces its origins from a Greenwich Village bakery to a vast monopoly with eighty percent of refining capacity, arguing its price and output control harms workers and consumers while yielding mixed gains in efficiency. It notes wage increases for retained workers, displacement of English-speaking labor by immigrants, and the extensive mechanization reducing labor through centralized ownership and fused operations.
