SUGAR MIIN FAVOR FREE MARKET FOR NEW CROP Sugar preducers who gathered yester- dav at the offices’ of the Sugar Pro- ducers Association took no official ae- tion on the qguestion of whether there should be gzovernmentai contrnl of the coming sugar ¢rop. This does not miecan however, teat the producers present -ere not in favor of a free market. Dut atter discussing this question from 19 o’zlock in the morning until almost 2 o’clock in the afterncon the idea seemcd v prevail that it would be inadvisable for the proddeers here to take any stanua in .the matter and for this reason .o official action was recorded. It may be s2id, howeve:, that the grow- ers were unanimously in fuvor of an un- -lestricted market. _ RamoOn Aboy Benitez, President cos the Producers /iscociation, explained to the association that he did not appear at Washingtorn as a witness in the recent sugar inve-tigation because he was not informed of the investigation until after it was completed. : The association appointed a committee tom et with the board of equalization and take uv with that body the question of arriving at an equitable assestment of sugar properties for the coming year. —Porto Rico Progress, Nov. 21st.
