Show Tub sugar trust ha.3 virtually received re-ceived ils death blow from the New-York New-York court of appeals, which decides that the combination is illegal. The court, it seems, holds that the trust is contrary to public policy. "If corporations corpor-ations can combine aud mass their forces," for-ces," says the court, "in a solid trust 'with liUle .added risk to the capital already in without limit as to magnitude, a tempting aud easy road is open to combinations vastly exceeding iu jiumber and strengthany possibilities of individual ownership. The state seeks to protect individuals rather than corporations." The trust people claim to be in no way disconcerted by tho tleeisiou, but intimate that they will continue to do business by evading the New York law through some cunningly devised methods meth-ods of carrying on its r.fi'airs. |
