Anti free sugar caucus shapes tariff debate in Senate
Washington June 24 Democrats in a senate caucus agreed to back Senator Shafroth's amendment to end the 1916 free sugar provision and impose a duty on refined sugar after that date. The move seeks about a half cent per pound for post 1916 imports while keeping under the Underwood bill duties for three years. Louisiana and beet sugar states resist free sugar but push a larger 1916 cut. If the amendment fails, further alterations will be proposed. The sugar schedule may consume the day as caucus maneuvers test party unity before final tariff passage.
