WILL FIGHT THE SUGAR TRUST

Spreckles-Kern Combination to Erect a Big Factory. Yonkers, N. Y., special: That the Spreckels-Kern sugar combination, or the Federal Sugar Refining company, is in deadly earnest in its fight against the sugar trust is evidenced by its latest move in buying 400 feet of dock frontage on the Hudson river adjoining its present holdings on the north and running to within 200 feet of the refinery of the National company. On this plot it will erect another structure nine times the size of its present building, with a capacity of 3,600 barrels of sugar per day. This will give an output of 4,000 barrels a day, almost double the capacity of the trust’s Yonkers factory near by.
