Two arguments for the State of California, arguing that this large refinery company "had surrendered the management of its concern and the control of its business to a body of men known as 'The Sugar Refineries Company,' an unincorporated association of non-resident individuals, formed and operated for the purpose of limiting the supply, and thus advancing the price of sugar, and therefore, an unlawful combination and monopoly acting in restraint of trade" [internal quotation marks omitted]. The Company over the next thirty years would be charged with a variety of antitrust violations.
