What happened
A proposed class action against American Sugar Refining, Inc. and other sugar producers, apparently alleging antitrust violations related to sugar pricing. The docket indicates service on multiple sugar companies and cooperatives, suggesting claims of a conspiracy to fix prices in the sugar industry. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
