Sugar price fixing claims shadow senate sugar probe
Washington accord on December 22 reports a clash between American Sugar Refining and Federal Sugar Refining during the senate sugar investigation. Chairman Reed pressed claims that the food administration’s sugar division kept prices down, while Rolph defended the administration as public-spirited and blamed no regulation for current costs. Hoover was slated to testify, and the panel reviewed a sugar price dispute involving Claus Schreckels. The committee notes projected 1918 sugar needs exceed supply, with prohibition boosting per capita consumption in the South among soldiers.
