SUGAR TRUST DESIGNATED A
'RUTHLESS MONSTER'IN COURT
DISSOLUTION OF
COMBINATION
SOUGHT
IS
BY 0. S.
Suit Is Instituted Anainst American
Refininn Company and 27 Com
panies Which Have Been Absorbed
Trust Is Alleged
NEW YORK, Nov. :8. Designat
ing tho sugar trust us a "ruthless
monster," the department of jubilee
today asked tho United States circuit
com t to outlaw tho aliened combina
tion. 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 com
panics comprising tho trust, it is said,
are retiiiel's of both beet and cane
sugar.
One chapter of the petition detail,
tho operations of thu llavcmeycis
and their associates since 1887. It
declares that in 1887 there were 2.1
independent refineries in tho coun
tries. Those hud a total producing
capacity of 'JU,000, 100 pounds dailv.
"I'mler the leadership of Unvo
inovors, Donuer, Atkins, Thomas and
others," tho petition continues, "the
ownerH and dhoctois of 17 competing
competing refineries, carrying 00 poi
ient of tho American sugar trade nni
jointly capable of dominating and
controlling, decided to combine and
destroy competition, exclude other
and monopolize tho trade."
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."
It in charged that the trusf'smoth
ered competition, nco,uiied and held
ii monopoly for themselves, oliminnt
ing many refiners."
