Sugar Trust Loses in Federal Anti Trust Ruling
A U S Circuit Court of Appeals opinion by Judge Noyes reversed a lower court ruling in the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company v American Sugar Refining Company case. The suit seeks 30 million dollars in triple damages under Sherman act provisions, alleging Anglo executives used a loan to Adolph Segal to gain voting control and force directors to block the plaintiff’s business. The decision notes that a conspiracy in restraint of inter state trade and commerce may state a valid federal claim, allowing the suit to proceed.
