Washington June 13 The sugar trust inquiry resumes as Edwin F Atkins acting head of American Sugar Refining says he cannot answer from personal knowledge many questions.

He notes Pacific coast refineries gain from free raw sugar while eastern refineries pay duty, and admits limited information from Western beet and other sugar interests.
