New Paltz, N. Y., July 24. Tfhe one good reason why the warring sugar interests did not sign an agreement to end the conflict was fear of 'the Sherman anti-trust law. Every time the matter was broached to John Ar-. buckle, when the fight waxed warmest, Arbuckle declined and told his oppo nents to remember the Sherman law. Propped up by Pillows in his bed Mr. Arubckle so testified today before a sub-committee of the special Congres sional Investigating Committee. The congressmen in ad come to Mr. Ar- budde's beefside because he was un able to come to them and they found him apparently unreserved in . giving the history of his commercial battels. Mr. Arbuckle said the fight started in v 1898 after there had been a little riction between his coffee company and the American refinery. The Am- erican company retaliated by going j into the business, -evious to that, however, he said. Mr.tHavemeyer had tried, unsuccessfully to purchase- 51 per cent, of his uncompleted refinery. This was in 1897. he said, when Have meyer came to see him about it "Are vou makine as much suear now as you did in day's of the war?" "Yes, much more.", "You made sugar at 'a' loss during the fight?" -"Yes. off and on. And the war is hot ended yet' We are' ready to fight Ji a minute If there f Is .reason 1 a 1' t . . .m... jl. Ti.-tl..'.l m i .... iways . saia ;: vuat xncre. hqouju i,-pe wj agreement to .xurxaii or xeauce , ma production of sugar' or control prices,- - and there never will be as long as ,1 ' am- In the sugar ibusiness." Mr.. Arbuckle said he strongly .sus pected that rebates were being given by refineries to wholesalers, but he said he did not think railroads were Involved. I knew H. O.' Havetneyer for .40 years," he added. "He nad his good and' his bad qualities. He played his violin magnificently and I told him that a man who could make that kind of music was not as bad as people thought him to be."' . Mr. Arbuckle said that' the Ameir can Sugar Refining Company had the ability to and always did maintain the price of sugar. Because of its capac ity it fixes the maximum price, he said, the independents fixing the mini-. mum prices. "But the independents follow the American prices, do they not?" "Yes." . "Didn't a time icome when there was an armistice between you and , the sugar trust?" , . 'There was never an agreement or armistlcef There's likely to toe an outbreak any time." Representative Miadison said he read in minutes of the American Re fining Company, entries showing that the trust loaned between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 to the Woolaon Coffee Plant at Toledo, that the company tad charge off $700,000 to -profit and loss account and that the fight against Arbuckle had 4 cost the trust even, more than that. 'You say there was no agreement between you?" ne. added. 'So the American Is still going af ter trade the way it used to?" "Not so much as formerly. When Havemeyer was alive Tie would not stop at anything. He would use any 'kind of weapon that he needed. He cared for nothing." '.'Wasn't the fierceness of the sugar war mddifled after 1903 when the Am erican decided not to lose any more money' in the conduct of its coffee .business?" "It was not so flenre afterwards." "Mr. Spreckles says yoil suggested to him, after a meeting with Have meyer, that he should limit or reduce his output. He also said that you were reducing your output. Is that true?" . "Spreckles used to tell me his trou bles with the American and. I tried to smooth, them, over. But I never asked him to limit his output. Lots of the sugar men came to me, but I al ways teld them 'Don't talk to me about limiting price or output. Remember the Sherman law. Of course, event ually every one had to. reduce as the -country .was overstocked, i "There has been no agreement, h added' but I will admit, that there has come a friendly feeling between us. It is much better." and a native day.
