Lenina — — : N recognition of the increased cost of living, the American Sugar Refining Company at its Brooklyn Refinery since December, 1915, has not only advanced the wages of its skilled employees, but has also made the following increases in the wages of its unskilled labor: Date Wages per Hour DOCG OE) LOL sis iikihivecccccesesians pveneseves bees BOINOMIY), LOLG i ivineverdcstsvertverseeulerteNy) Gee May, BOLO UL ibivecebulivEneereneereriiay mee December 25, 1916, a Christmas gift of $5.00 to each employee. January 18, 1917, an announcement that on March 15th and May 15th a bonus of 8°% would be paid on the wages earned during the two preceding months, and that on July 15th and September 15th a bonus of 10°% would be paid on the wages earned during the two preceding months. The above increases aggregate 47.3 per cent. These wages mean a wage scale as high as that prevailing, class for class, in any other great industry. We believe that the wages paid by us and the working conditions in our refinery are fair to our employees, who if left free from outside agitation would never have left our employment on strike or otherwise. PENSIONS AND SICK BENEFITS This Company since 1912 has had in effect a pension system equivalent to 1°, of the average annual wage during the ten years preceding retirement, multiplied by the years of service. Under this plan employees are permitted to retire at ike age of 65 or on the completion of 30 years’ service. No pension is less than $20.00 per month after a service of 25 years. During the year 1916 in Brooklyn Refinery alone the sum of $31,280.93 was paid in pensions and sick benefits, exclusive of sums paid under Workmen's Compensation Acts. OUTSIDE AGITATION The stri which have occurred at the refineries of this Company at Brook- lyn, Jersey City and Philadelphia were not occasioned by dissatisfaction on the part of our employees either with wages or conditions of employment, but were due to the activities of men not in our employ and not citizens of this city or State. The following quotations from “Solidarity,” Cleveland, Ohio, “Official Organ of the Industrial Workers tf the World,” tell their own story: SUGAR REFINERIES TIED UP BY L. W. W.

SUGAR WORKERS STRIKE “All the sugar and molasses workers in Philadelphia are on strike are out and are standing a5 one man waiting for the decision of the bosses, The men demand a straight S-cent an hour increase. At the present appearances of things they are going to get their demands, and if the bosses do not make up their minds quickly there is apt to be some striker who will think of more demands that might be made. . . “But, they are demanding but 5 cents an hour and the companies have refused to And, it is on with a ven- consider their demands. Enough is said, The strike is on. geance born of hunger and abuse. The police are doing thelr usual dirty work. Club- bings are frequent and the workers are being arrested in large numbers. “The workers at the beginning of the strike were almost entirely unorganized. Now, more than 1,500 are members of the One Big Union, and y are continuing to come in in a steady stream, The fact that they are organized has given them a new confidence and the picket line is more effective. Nooneisscabbing. Too unhealthy. “The companies involved are the Franklin Sugar Refinery (Spreckels), the McCann Sugar Refinery and the Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery. The molasses plant, better known as the ‘Smear Works,’ is also closed down unds are badly needed to carry on the fight.

Nef, 800 Parkway Bldg., Philadelphia, Pa. “STRIKE COMMITTEE, “Per BE. T. Dove.” REFINED SUGAR SUPPLIES Coincidently with the attempt to organize our employces sensational stories have appeared as to the refined sugar supply which are calculated to advance the retail price of sugar unnecessarily to consumers, Over 5,000 These sensational reports bear the earmarks of clever publicity work, It would seem as if they were being circulated by Western labor agitators as an aid to their present program of labor agitation at our refineries, Consumers will only embarrass each other by stocking up ahead for weeks and months, Do not buy more than your regular needs, As is well known, we have been selling large quantities of sugar at a quarter to a half-cent a pound below existing wholesale prices, and are taking care of our normal trade, Our deliveries to the domestic trade up to this d. are greater than for the same period of 1916. We are operating all of our refineries and expect so to continue. OUR POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITY We, and the other sugar refiners, are charged with the responslbili of safeguarding the sugar supply of America, made especially difficult at thie time by unprecedented world conditions, That the price of refined sugar to domestle consumers has remained lower than that prevalling in any foreign country Illustrates how well that responsl- bility is being met, We do not propose to hand over the control of this Industry to any outside organization, no matter of what name nor whence it hails, With the continued support of the eltizens of New York, we propos to continue the operation of our refinerles as our first and foremost duty to the publle and to our loyal employees, To thls end we shall use all proper and lawful means, be the cost what It may, THE AMERICAN SUGAR REFINING CO, EARL D. BABST, President Mareh 1, 1917.
