WASHINGTON, Dec. .21.—The long pending anti-trust sult against the Amer- Joan Sugar Refining Company {s to be disposed of by a decree which has been approved by Attorney General Daugh- erty and will be submitted immediately to the United States District Court in New York. The Attorney General an- nounced late yestenlay that an investl- gation instituted some months ago to as- certain existing conditions in the sugar refining industry should show, in his be- Hef, that the company “is no longer a trust or monopoly.” ‘Whereas when the suit was instituted in 1910 the American Sugar Refining Company controlled “about 72 per cent.” of the refined sugar industry of the country, Mr, Daugherty said its con- trol has now decreased to about 24 per cent. aff it {s believed, he added, that under the provisions of the decree the consumer can now rest assured that the price he pays for his sugar in the | future -will be the result of natural, un- | restrained competition.” ——_————___ | “I CAN SHOOT, TOO,” HE | ss CRIES; BURGLARS FLEE They Get His Roll, but Do pt Wait ‘TM He Gete Pistol.
