Sugar Trust War On Beet Sugar Threatens Domestic Industry
The article argues the sugar refiners led by the sugar trust face a growing threat from U S beet sugar production. It cites 700000 tons of beet sugar produced this year, price cuts across the central and western states, and reduced imports. It notes refiners seek removal of duties to crush beet competition, while fraud penalties returned nearly 3.5 million to the government.

Wages and Prices in Beet Sugar Industry Compared
A United States Senate document compares European and American beet sugar wages. European field workers earned 65 cents daily, with many women and children at 10 to 36 cents, while U S beet field workers averaged $2.00 daily. Factory workers in Europe earned about 84 cents daily, versus $2.99 in the United States. European beet farmers received 4 to 4.50 dollars per ton, with higher rents. England remains the only European country where sugar is cheaper than in the United States. The report argues tariffs support American mills and highlights the relatively better conditions for American growers and workers.

How to Get Cheap Sugar Says Senator Document
Mr W P Willett a leading sugar statistician says beet sugar lowers wholesale prices by about half a cent a pound in 1912 and that 60 percent of the crop was carried over into 1913. He argues broader beet sugar development would sustain cheaper sugar for Americans as refiners respond to beet competition.
