Sugar King Aide Fails To Reveal Hidden Powers
Washington June 14. House sugar committee cross examined Charles R. Heike, secretary of the American Sugar Refining Co., on the Havemeyer dynasty’s secrecy. Heike pled ignorance about the company’s past dealings and denied close confidential ties. Edwin F. Atkins predicted sugar prices would fall if raw sugar were freed, but warned it would harm U S beet and Louisiana cane producers. The witness admitted Cuba profited little under the favored nation treaty, as prices fluctuated with its sugar supply. Chairman Hardwick reviewed historical price margins, noting refiners earned 83 cents per 100 pounds in current times versus 71 to 76 cents in late 19th century, with a peak after the 1890 merger.
