Sugar Shortage Due to Hoarding by West Is Charged at Washington Washington, Oct. 16. Open charges are being made by Senators and Congressmen that western beet sugar refiners are hoarding large quantities of sugar, which, if placed on the market, would help ma terially the sugar shortage, if not entirely relieve it. With the government distributing agency which supervised the dis tribution of beet sugar during the war no longer in existence, it is charged that beet sugar reflners are planning to hold a large part of their stocks off the market until January 7, when it is expected prices will advance. Talk around the cap ital. however, is that unless these reflners come forward patriotically and help relieve the present short age, Congress will take matters into its own hands and force them to unload. One method being consid ered is the repeal of the tariff on raw cane.
