Great Trust Trial Opens Over Sugar Refinery Case
New York November 12 Special. Judge Barrett presides as the first great trust case starts in the Supreme Court circuit. The North River Sugar Refinery Company faces a suit brought by the people, with General Roger A Pryor and Attorney General Labor handling the case. John E Parsons defends. The dispute centers on the Sugar Trusts origin, size, and legality, including emergence of the Sugar Refineries Company with about 50 million in capital and 3 billion pounds of sugar refined annually. The key issue is whether the trust's production agreement can be produced, a move Parsons has resisted, prompting questions on whether Judge Barrett will compel its disclosure.
