Bondholders oppose sugar trust settlement in Pennsylvan ia case
Philadelphia July 30 bondholders of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company protested in Common Pleas Court against Receiver Earle s proposed settlement with the American Sugar Company under Sherman anti trust law. The plan would pay 750000 cash and release the American Company from claims while relinquishing custody of securities. Attorneys argued the bondholders would recover more at trial and asked for a court master to review the settlement. Earle favored the deal but sought court guidance to proceed. Opposing counsel questioned Earle as president of the Real Estate Trust Company and warned some interests might be harmed and that issued securities would be surrendered despite unadjudicated claims.
