Show BEET GROWERS OPPOSE CLAUSE "Bitter resentment" against the tariff clause of the sugar companies compan-ies in the 1933 beet contract was expressed by emnibcrs of the Utah Central Sugar Beetgrowers who packed the Fourth district court room Saturday afternoon to make a united front on a contract stand. The courtroom echoed with denunciations de-nunciations of the sugar companies' compan-ies' policy this year of hurdling the 50-50 contract basis, but the beet-growers beet-growers finally agreed to leave the fixing of the contract in the hands of their committee as far as they were concerned. To Meet Tuesday The committee from Utah county, coun-ty, comprised of J. W. Gillman, president of the association, who was chariman of the meeting, and R. D. Morgan of Spanish Fork, will meet Tuesday in Salt Lake with Idaho representatives, as well as those from Utah. Contract-fixing is the basis for the meeting. The tariff clause in this year's contract, as brought by the sugar companies, is that the beet growers grow-ers will have to stand any cost if the price goes below $3.25 at which price the present federal tariff law protects American sugar. Fear that the present administration might lower the sugar tariff is the basis for the injection of the clause, the beetgrowers believe. |
