LAW AND COMPETITION.
Their Relations Set Forth I'm n Deci.
sion Affecting the Sugar Trust

sion Affecting the Sugar Trust.
The long-expected decision of Judge Nor
ris Of the common pleas court in the suit of
the Arbuckle Brothers against the sugar
trust was delivered al Toledo Ohio Mon
day morning, and it is in favor of the lat
ter.
The suit was brought by Thomas j. Kuhn
and the Arhuckles, owners Of a minority
OF stock in the Woolson Spice Co. Of
this city, against the Woolson Spice Com
pany, and the leading stockh kholders in the
American Sugar Refining Company, for
the appointment of receiver for the
Woolson company, the majority of whose
stock had been bought by the Havemey-
ers of the sugar trust.
The plaintiffs declared the sugar trust
purchased this stock tC injure Arbuckle
Brothers and to keep them from going in "a
the sugar refining business; that the busi-
beSS is beng run at a loss, ard therefore
the protection of the interests OF the minor
lty stockholders requires that a perpetual
injunction be made against the Woolsons
selling coffee at a loss, and that a re-
ceiver be appointed TO conduct the busi-
ness.
Judge Morris opinion is very voluminous
covering twenty-eight typewriter pages
lie holds that the matter of the price AT
Whlch the company may sell It's coffee
strictly pertains to the internal manage
~
act in good faith the directors cannot be
lnterfered with by the court, which can
not restrain corporation from selling at
low price, even though the minority
stockholders can show that sound business
discretion WOULD dictate a different policy
The testimony, however, showed that the
Woolsons were selling at a fair margin OF
profit.
Ihe application for a perpetual injunc-
tion is therefore denied
with regard to the other DOint the oourf
holds that the agreement Of the majority
stockholders to sell the product for a
time at such a price as will drive a COM
petltor out OF business will not make the
corporation an unlawful conspiracy
against such competitor nor liable for
hls actual loss, nor entitle him to relief in
the courts competitor for public favor
must bow to that law of trade that allows
every man to dispose of his own property,
In the ordinary course of business on such
terms he sees fit.
The motion for the appointment of a re-
ceiver is therefore overruled.
