Sugar Trust Witness Defends Combines Benefiting Public
Horace Havemeyer told the Hardwick sugar inquiry that a reasonable combination of big business benefits the public and that consolidation of National New York and Yonkers into National Sugar Refining aided consumers more than the firms. He argued no single man controls prices, noted a 30 percent overproduction, and warned removing the sugar duty could crush the cane and beet industries. He praised free English duties for cheaper sugar there and said past consolidations did not raise U S prices. He admitted refineries were merged to reduce production and costs, but could not confirm end to competition. He suggested government regulation of all corporations by a new commission.
