WASHINGTON. Nov. lS.-The
-called "Starch Trust" was under
fire at the hearing on the tariff re
iiioa today before the house com
mittee on ways and means. The
cross-examination of B. J. Walton
representing the Corn Products Re
fining Company which it is claimed
nottopolizes its starch business,
formed the most interesting of the
lay' hearing, which covered the
acatdat on agricultural products,
provision, etc The incident center
en ia the admission of Walton that
its company is selling starch in Eng
land at such a price that it can be
re-imported and sold for 30 cents a
anedred pounds less than the price
asked by the company in this coon
try. When asked why this was,
Walton seemed at a loss for an an
swer. Chairman Payne of the com
atuttee and a "stand-patter" supplied
a answer. "Sales of your product
save been falling off in this country
for some time past, and you are
selling at a loss abroad in order to
get rid of your product"
