SUGAR FIGHT ENDED Growers and Refining Company Settle Differences Which Have Been in Courts for Two Years. New Orleans, Sept. 23.—The differ- ences which for the past three years have existed between Louisiana sugar cane growers and producers and the American Sugar Reflning Co. have virtually been settled, it is stated by members of a committee of growers returning from Chicago, where they conferred with officials of the refining company. The refining company, according to the growers’ announcement, has agreed to purchase 50,000 tons of the 1916 Louisiana sugar crop at New York quotations. The withdrawal of damage suits of the planters against the refining com- pany was not made a condition of an offer of the refining company te handle 100,000 tons of the 1916 crop and settle the suits for $250,000. The suits, approximately 200 in number, were filed in 1914 by a num- ber of planters and asked treble dam- ages, aggregating $180,000,000 under the Sherman snti-trust law. PROHIBITION Charles J.
