Tho government calls upon the court to dissolve) tho trust by mean, of a "receiver or otherwise." Tln complaint alleges thai tho trust ugreeiuent is a fraud and constitutes a monopoly. United States Attorney Wise insti tuted tho suit, which is directed against the American Sugar Refilling company and twenty-seven compaiiic-. that, according to tho complaint, "either through force or persuasion," were absorbed by tho combination. Tho government biief hays thai "thoy" (tlio llavemeyers) and their associates nuinnged and directed the uiTiuTb of former competing concerns whose shares they held, destroyed competition, fixed prices that prevent others from entering tho trade and forced tho retirement of many plants already engaged in tho business. Tho petition says that the Ameri can Sugar Refining company was in corporated in New Jersey in 18i)l and that it has a capital stock of a par value of $1)0,000,001).

Tho tirst combination operated uu dor a .trust deed, it is alleged, which gave Is control of the various prop el tie to eleven trustees. The potitiou continues: "In pui'siiaucu of u general con spiracy and in order to maintain, secure and retain a complete dom ination of ho trade and to ohtai i unconscionable profits to those inter ested, the trustees and their co-conspirators and others did and caused to be done many things, somo of 'which are specified."
